Let's not forget about the bench. The Lakers bench was much better.

I wouldn't say much better. I'll put Iguodala up against any bench player from any of those teams

Damn right, BEER. I was about to post that word for word. Thanks for doing it for me.

I think the Showtime teams would have had too much depth due to the difference in salary structure. In a 7-game series, they'd wear the Warriors out. Lakers in seven.

If anyone wants to know why Teams like the Lakers would have murdered Golden State here's why. More scoring options. They wouldn't be able to hide Curry or even Green. No way you put Draemond Green on Kareem and get away with it. Byron Scott is a better player and scorer than J.R. Smith. Even A.C. could step out and knock a shot down. Modern NBA you typically have only 2 dominant scorers and the rest tend to be role players. Good teams of yesteryear had 3 great teams would have 4-5. Guys like Thompson and Smith would be bench players. 8-9th men at that. No way in hell would they start on an NBA finals team.

"Klay Thompson would be a bench player if he played in the 80's" is a really terrible thought.

I thought it was fairly obvious that I was talking about Tristan Thompson. Tristan would back up Klay's father, who was a backup himself. Much better player than Tristan though.

Three point shooting then was only done if you were open.. Today its more a part of the game than the post up. Today, threes are shot on a fast break. Today guys pass on a short jumper and dribble backwards to shoot a three with a man in their face. Warriors do this better by far than any team. And they are unselfish. They move the ball. Once you get tired of getting burned by threes and over play on defense, they pump fake and drive or they cut back door and make the pass. As long as they make threes like they do, they will win 65 games a year.

Its like playing against the wishbone or run and shoot. You cant practice against because theres no way to simulate. Cavs won one game playing way over their heads and playing Golden States style. Warriors would have won nine out of ten if they had to.

You could argue Lakers or Bulls before this year but the Durant Warriors are the best. IMO anyway. But Im not happy about it.

If only someone had told all the teams chasing the Bulls to just shoot a lot of three pointers.
