I actually think Denver is a lot better defensively than the Blazers, Enes Kanter is very solid offensively but on defense he is a liability. I don't think experience matters as much as long as the matchups work.

I remember saying if you hate GSW, you should have been rooting for Denver. But nikkas thought Dame and CJ could out-Curry and Klay, Curry and Klay :mjlol:

We're a bad match up for them in general because their defense is also terrible at the most important positions, the big for the pick and roll, and their guards one on one.

The Blazers had a terrible game plan that I don't expect to continue though. Not sure if that was just game 7 lack of prep or what. But I think its a lot tougher of a series from here on out, but we still got it in 5 if KD come back, 6 if he doesn't

The Warriors are very talented. Get over it. Your only response is to downplay how much talent they have but that's weak.
They just dismantled a Blazers team that beat a very talented Nuggets team in a 7 game series in their house.

Oh so you have no argument? Cool breh, should have just said that from jump.

I gave you my argument and you gave me weak counters. But but they are not as good as before. Yet they are still very good (29-4 record without KD, 28-1 with Curry) with enough talent to be the favorites in every series and were yet again on top of the West. They can coast through the regular season for a reason. Yet somehow that evidence means something else.

Things fell perfectly in line for us in regards to the seedings in the west. Clippers was light work, Houston wasn't who y'all thought they were and we was able to get em while we still had KD and now we got to get to the WCF without having to go up to Denver without Cousins and KD. Blessings upon blessings...God is great.

OK so tell me all about the talent on GSW after Curry, Klay, and Draymond. Since according to you talent = results, you should be able to tell me very easily how GSW roster 4-15 that are currently able to suit up are world beaters.

Not necessary, no one respects KD’s rings anyway






Just look at the Warriors “celebration” last year, they were :russell:
you nikkas repeat this shyt ad nauseam as if you believe if you say it enough times it'll be true :mjgrin:

If nobody respects his rings then why do you bytch asses feel the need to remind people all the time :mjlol:

In the playoffs, coaches play shortened rotations. Did you see the Warriors bench as much against the Rockets? No because Kerr relied on his top guys. Curry, Klay, Draymond, Iguodala, Livingston, and sometimes Looney as a bruiser with the other guys playing spot minutes. Okay so then when you are playing a short rotation, then talent becomes the determining factor in the playoffs. This is why the most talented team usually wins even though there have been upsets. The Warriors have proven their talent in the playoffs year in and year out.

I can give a specific example. Were the Lebron Miami teams that talented outside of the big 3? No. I thought the Bulls team they beat in their first year had a deeper roster but again Miami's talent won out. They were upset by Mavericks but that was due to their first year being together and the Mavericks had more chemistry. Yet the Heat were the favorites for a reason.
Their talent bested everyone else because in the playoffs with shortened rotations, talent becomes a very big factor until they met their match in the Spurs

Just so we're clear, Iggy, Livingston, Looney are the out-talent? Considerably better on their own than any combination of Al Faroqu, Harkless, Seth Curry, Rodney Hood, and Kanter yes?

Curry and Klay is a more talented combo than Lillard and McCollum. Two of the greatest shooters of all time vs. two stars. Yet you are resorting to the role players around the stars. Draymond is more dynamic than any of the Blazers power forwards. Yes keep focusing on the interchangeable parts around the talented foundation of the team.

nikka you said the Warriors were too talented to be beat. Not Steph and Klay, the entire Warriors team. I said not true, the talent drop off is significant after our top 2/3 currently, and at full health after our top 4. Then you went on some tangent about how only the results matter and if you win that means you're more talented team. Now you back to juelzing when its pointed out that the rest of the Warriors cast isn't more talented and you know it.

If only the top 2 players matter on each team, fukk yeah we unbeatable vs the Blazers and all teams left in the playoffs. But that's not how bball works.

He's been the best since 2015. There is nothing you can do :smugfavre:

You overplay him, his gravity collapses your defense and the rest of the team destroys you. People wonder how the Warriors were tied with the Rockets, with Curry having 0pts at halftime. This is how. Then even doing all that to him on defense (sending 2,3 defenders his way)
Curry still had 33pts in one half on the road in a playoff game
:lolbron:
Exactly....it’s crazy cuz he brings the same dynamic that bron does but as a three pt assassin guard....his finish ability is undeniable and his IQ is basketball savant level.....he only gets in trouble when he over thinks or over confidently tries a pass he shouldn’t have.....but no other player has the same continuity he has, fear invaded locker rooms because he has to be dealt with.....he’s a problem:sadcam:

So for a team to be considered talented, the entire team from top to bottom have to be completely talented? From 1-15. The scrubs too?:mjlol: I responded to what you said by introducing the fact that coaches play shortened rotations in the playoffs, so talent becomes the determining factor (aka the foundation of the team), yet you are going back to semantics? Semantics? Your argument is semantics?:mjlol: GTFOH with your bullshyt.
