Going by stats the Warriors are the best team the NBA has seen in the last 18 years

[1987_Lakers]

67-15 record
#2 Offense
#1 Defense
+10.1 Point Differential

It doesn't seem like people are aware of how dominant this team has been so far.

[Taller than CP3]

Warriors are right up there with the '95-'96 Bulls in terms of greatness.

1. '95-'96 Bulls
2. '14-'15 Warriors

It helps that someone else did the dirty work and beat the Spurs for them.

Perks of winning 67 games.

[Cocaine80s]

If Cavs beat them Lebron is top 5 all time

and now the clippers are playing like bunch of clowns.
these a$$holes are running this year's NBA playoff.

nope, just weak era

Yeah I don't think they get the credit they deserve, and they won't unless they win a championship.

Keep making excuses. Sounds like you're just bitter that a team with a 40 year playoff drought is finally winning while your team keeps adding to that 40+

[Suguru101]

They aren't better than the 2013 from the regular season, or the 2000-2001 Lakers. When Miami had Wade healthy during the streak, they were an all time great time, just like the Lakers.

This GS team is certainly dominant, but they aren't an All-time great team. Just like when Dallas won around 67 games, they weren't legendary either. It all comes down to your two best players.

GS has Curry and Thompson.
Miami has James and Wade.
Lakers had Shaq and Kobe.

Big difference.

[inclinerator]

sure in the regular season maybe, how about playoff stats?

[Eric Cartman]

2001 Lakers and 2012 Heat would sweep this Warriors squad.

But they are great, and heavy favorite to win the chip, no denying that.

[Micku]

Dey a'ight.

Dominating their respective competition so far.

[Inferno]

It helps that someone else did the dirty work and beat the Spurs for them.

It helps that they won 67 games and didn't have to bother playing the Spurs in the 1st round.

[the_troof]

The 08 Celtics would dominate them

The Warriors wouldn't be able to hide Curry defensively because he'd have to take either Ray or Rondo
I'll also take end of prime KG against Draymond any day of the week
Not even factoring PP or the very good celtics bench


4-1 series celtics

Curry gettin it done :applause: :applause:

:biggums:

Brian Shaw was not a top 2 player on the Lakers.

That's how life goes brother.

PLenty of greats in all areas that never got credit because they didn't win (certain award.)

[VeeCee15]

the thing is....curry and thompson are both currently better scorers than lebron james. If they took same amount of shots and possesions..would outscore lebron.

The scary thing is that they are some of the best shooters game has ever seen and they also can do other things like take it to the rack etc. Their shooting and offensive production is unprecedented.

12 Heat didn't sweep any of their opponents, but yeah, they would sweep the Warriors. :facepalm

29-68 the only games they faced real defenders all playoffs

What does spurs losing to clippers have to do with GSW winning 67 games or gsw having a +10 points differential or anything else that OP posted?

08 Celtics went to atleast 6 games in all of their series.

All this means absolutely nothing if they aren't the last team standing.

Its not the Mavs at all...

-Curry: MVP
-Bogut: Best Defender in the NBA, Top 30
-Thompson: Elite shooter/defender, star, top 25
-Green: Elite defender, can pass, rebound, score, one of the most variable players/bigs, top 25
-Harrison Barnes: Great athleticism, can shoot, score 15+ any night
-Andre Igoudala: Former all-star, 6th man, elite defender
-David Lee: Former all-star, top 20 ppg scorer, 6th man


Clearly one of the most loaded teams ever, truly a GOAT team.

[the_troof]

Because aside from the hawks they were playing great teams unlike the warriors who have had a lebron-like road to the finals so far

The 08 Celtics defense was absolutely lethal. They had a higher margin of victory in a much stronger NBA. I'd take my chances with the heart of the Ubuntu Celtics over the arcade shooting "live and die by the 3" Warrios

[the_troof]

-Bogut: Best Defender in the NBA

:biggums: :biggums: :biggums:

[ClipperRevival]

2008 Cletics were a great team. They went 66-16 and beat prime Kobe, Gasol and Odom. And their defense was amazing. I would favor them over this Warriors team. Unless if this Warriors team does some special things in the next 2 rounds.

[Rocketswin2013]

2013 Heat were better. More shooters, better MVP , more experience, not as good at protecting the rim, but the best perimeter defense I've ever seen. This is when healthy.

That Heat team would love this jumpshooting Warriors team. Hard to stop, but easy to defend. They'd throw a small lineup out there and switch everything, they wouldn't give Curry and Thompson many looks.

[bballnoob1192]

It helps that someone else did the dirty work and beat the Spurs for them.
you can thank AD. he raped the spurs HCA, and then goes on ahead and feed himself as a sacrificial lamb for the Warriors in the first round. BASED AD. warrior fans should worship the kid at their alter if they win the chip this year.

I would personally pick Diesel/Kobe as the Lakers two best players

but Shaw was good too

so much wrong with this

:roll: :roll:

dude had the nerve to bring up a guy who has played in 5 games and averaged 3 points per game

Delet your post, embarrassing.

I wrote Shaq but my cellphone autocorrected. :oldlol:

[rzp]

3-peat lakers, 05/07 spurs, 11/12 heat were better imo. (any team with a prime Shaq or prime TD tbh)

They are clearly better than the Mavs, but i meant it in a sense of this being a single season team that caught fire in the RS. Even though they have a good chance to win a title, they really aren't an all-time great team. Spurs probably would have smoked them, a healthy Cleveland also would have had a great chance.

[KG215]

They might be the most dominant statistically, but I can think of a handful of teams in the last 15 years I'd pick to beat them in a series.

'01 Lakers
'12 Heat
'08 Celtics
'05 or 14 Spurs

[ArbitraryWater]

People are the opposite of caught in the moment here, another phenomenon.... GSW seriously dominated one of the best conferences ever, could win the title now.

[Suguru101]

They could very well win the title. The question is not if they are a really good team, but the argument being put forth is that they may be the best team since the Jordan era.

They are other teams that were better.

[TheMarkMadsen]

who the hell are you confusing Andrew Bogut with?!

Delet your post, embarrassing.

you brought up David Lee..

who has played in 5 games and averages 3 point per game yet you listed him a "top 20 ppg scorer, 6th man"

he's not the 6th man dip shit.. he doesn't even play

considering you know much so much about the Warrios.. you'd think you'd know this :rolleyes:

and Bogut as the best defender in the NBA..?

:roll:

[Joyner82reload]

2016 Thunder will destroy them

Oh, who the **** bolds Bogut and talks about Lee :biggums:

Anyway, all its supposed to say is that he's a great deal to come off the bench... chill, idiot.

How can one tell?

They've easily, according to all statistics been an ATG team... its pretty undeniable imo, especially factoring in competition.
