Had he said the 2015 or 16 Warriors, he would have a better argument, because I think they could have beaten them

KD neutralizes all of them. 5 games tops
They needed 7 games to get past the nets. The pre KD warriors were the best offense, best defense, deepest team, & fastest team in the league while winning 140 games and coming within 5 points of back to back titles. A team with 2-3 shooters in the starting 5 tops (1 of whom didn’t even shoot 40% from the field for the 2003-04 season) and a center who had no offensive game of any kind gets throttled every game. There’s a reason no teams win these days with all 5 starters playing 36+ minutes per game.

The argument that Draymond said with "Y'all was scoring 72 points" is the dumbest response ive ever heard

Every team league wide was averaging under 90 points per game. Defense was at the forefront in those games

Stats have to be adjusted for the era. Perfect example, we had the last 3 months of the season where the refs changed the physicality ofnthe game with less whistles. And you saw 66-69 scores in the 4th quarter

Pistons beat prime Kobe and Shaq. They have a right to claim they can beat any great team in history

Didn't the pistons defense cause the league to change the rules that lead to this high scoring too?

Ben Wallace woulda beat the shyt out draymond if he even tried any antics.

Warriors soft as terry cloth. If they not playing in Adam silvers cotton candy nba, bad boys 2.0 would have them nikkas in a blender. I’d love to see dray step to a real nikka like Big ben.

That would be a dope match up.I always wished I could see that Warriors squad go up against a rugged, physical defense.I don't know who'd win, but I don't see either team running away with it.7 game series for sure.

They did play the Grit N Grind Grizzlies in 2015, probably the closest thing :manny:
