If the Warriors had 2 of their best players injured, LeBron would have an asterisk, right?

I actually agree with the OP

Although I like this Warriors team

Outside of 3 or 4 games
These playoffs are the worst I can remember.

If Love and Kyrie were playing this might have been a sweep in the other direction
If wall was healthy

If Kevin durant was playing

If bosh wasn't hospitalized

If Paul George never got hurt

If Phil Jackson wasn't a buffoon

Should we keep going?

anyone claiming asterisk or other bullshyt to try and discredit the Warriors possible NBA title is not a fan of sports.

They been the best team all year. Put up historic numbers and have beaten who was put in front of them. Is the 1991 Bulls NBA title diminished because the Pistons and Lakers were injured?

Are we hating on the 2004 Pistons because Karl Malone got injured?

What about the 2013 Heat after Tony Parker got injured? (he was injured the last 4 games of that series)

Stop being stupid.


yes, this year's Warriors team could beat any of those teams because this Warriors team has the best offense and defense of this season. This Warriors team shoots better than those teams too, and hit a ton of 3s.


You dudes love hating with no actual thought and love reminiscing about a past that did not exist.

THat doesn't mean the Warriors are better than those teams, but they could beat them.

Why? Because they played back when you were wearing diapers and because of that every team back then is better?

You have no idea, but a team making 3s at a high clip is probably going to score more than a team making 2s at a high clip.

TBH, I have no idea but this NBA is not weak and this Warriors team is great.

Why would they win? Because every team is progressively better every year so the fukkin 2015 Raptors would beat the 1980 Lakers?

The same way you goons like to accuse older people of having a bias to the old days, you young fukks have a bias toward today like you have no understanding of history and everything you see is the best ever.

This Warriors team wouldn't even win a game against last year's Spurs team.

Warriors will win the title but their not alltime great to me. To me they represent an outlier and not the norm. Obviously if they win 3 or 4 titles we will have to give them props.

I think they beat the 2013 Heat.

This Warriors team is deeper than the Heat were. The Heat liked to play small ball and the Warriors are the best small ball team of all time. Lebron was at his peak then, but this Warriors team amazing from three point land.

That 2013 Heat team was not a great team at defending the 3-ball.

2014 Spurs, I think the Warriors are better because they could take Duncan out the game due to their lineups. Would be an interesting series tho.

I just gave some reasons, but FOH with your nonsense reasoning. :heh:

Im looking at the matchups and what the Warriors do. I never claimed they would beat the 80s Lakers or Celtics but lets not put asterisks and other bullshyt on what hte Warriors are doing now.

The irony is that if the Cavs win, everybody would say that it was INCREDIBLE and LeBron's greatest achievement beating a historically good team while being so shorthanded.

But if that historically good team wins, like they're supposed to, now they need an asterisk next to their title because they beat everybody with ease and apparently faced no competition.

Quality thread.

No great teams in the east or west. Warriors didn't have to go thru any great teams to get to the title. Those Nash led Suns and Webber led Kings teams for example would sweep this Warriors squad. And it's no disrespect but this team caught break after break with the teams they played. With that being said. I'll give them props for winning but I hope he media doesn't put them with all time great championship squads. Overall these playoffs have been lackluster. Teams with aging former superstars, hurt players and overachieving role players.

"With that being said" "Having said that"

I hate those phrases. Hear let me shyt out on you, and then throw you a band handed compliment :rudy:

.

Yes

That Bulls team was the weakest Champ at that point since the '81 Lakers

If the Bulls had never won another ring they would not be considered with the greatest All time

They won a bunch of games because they feasted on the weakness of the rest of the league at that time they would not have beaten the 87 or 88 Lakers

You are severly overrating this warrior team
