I actually watched the playoffs. I didn't merely check for results. I saw them scuffle against Memphis and a Cleveland team missing 2 of its three best players. They ran through the regular season last yr also. You may think they are a juggernaut I dont. They are a very good team that has a great offensive player leading them. They can be had. I'm not really a detractor as much as I'm a guy that sees a team with one hall of famer on it. They are not pound for pound better than OKC or S.A. Cleveland either for that matter.
You're talking to someone who watched every game you did in the playoffs, so that's not worth mentioning. You may feel that they are not more talented than OKC or Cleveland, but you have put forth zero evidence supporting that assertion. They are a better and more complete team than everyone else in the league, and San Antonio is the only team that is close. You think a post game can beat them, yet don't seem to realize Draymond destroys every post player he goes up agaist, including Blake and DeAndre.
DeAndre Jordan not really a post. Im a Green fan but he doesn't destroy Griffin. L.A. biggest issue was wings and Jeff Green should help there. Matt Barnes killed them last yr.
Memphis hurt them with their inside game last season. Slowed the game down and pounded them inside. S.A. has skilled bigs and a coach that knows how to exploit matchups. They are only 4 or 5 games behind G.S. now as much as it seems that G.S. is running away with it.
They are the favorite but those teams have more than a punchers chance to win.
You're wrong about Blake and Green. Draymond dominates both of those guys when they play the Clippers. He can get DeAndre out of the post and stretch when he's on offense, and doesn't allow a lot inside on the other end.
Memphis with Marc Gasol was a tough matchup, but even that series didn't go past six games. Marc Gasol presents unique matchup problems that nobody else in the league really does for them though, with his size and skill set. Also, Tony Allen was crushing Klay Thompson for the majority of that series. Again, Klay Steph and Green are all considerably better than last year, so I don't know why you keep trying to equate the two. Last year's Warriors team was a really good team. This Warriors team has a legitimate claim to the best team of all time if they break the Bulls record and win the title.
