How do you rate warriors chances at repeating?

[All Net]

Repeating obviously is rare these days but they are young enough who should continue to get better and learn from last year and are now more experienced certainly when it comes to playing in the finals.

How you rate their chances this year?

[fiddy]

Easy repeat IMO. They gained the championship experienced they lacked last year.

[Spurs m8]

They won't tbh

[Lebron23]

25 percent chances

Kerr is going to miss the earlier part of the season. They also lost David Lee in the off season.

[SOD 21]

Golden State is somewhere about 15 or 20% chance of repeating this champions.

Kerr isn't expected to miss time it appears and Lee barely played so losing him will not have any impact on their repeating to be honest.

[Gileraracer]

It was surprising that GS was that good last year (#2 offense #1 defense), I really didn't expect that. Everything worked well for them, but the West is hard, Thunder will be a threat, Clippers will be a threat, Spurs sure will be a threat.

I would say 10% chance of back2back.

[sportjames23]

Hmm...good question. They'll have to contend with the Clippers, Thunder, Rockets and Spurs still. If they make it back to the Finals, no doubt they'll repeat, with the East still weak as hell. But getting out of the West will be hard.

Are they still motivated after winning it all? Are they still hungry?

We'll see.

[poido123]

They are one of only 5 teams that can realistically win it all this year imo

So 20% chance

[T_L_P]

They're the best team in basketball, and I think they'll repeat.

[KembaWalker]

22.2% chance

Iggy for Back2Back FMVP

[chips93]

They're the best team, but since they're in the west the cavs should be favored. The west is too competitive for them to be outright favorites.

I'll give them a 25% chance of repeating.

They were very fortunate with injuries last year, I doubt they get so lucky two years in a row.

[AirFederer]

I think they have a very good chance if they stay healthy.
They have even more confidence in their system now that they know it can take them all the way.

[Akrazotile]

If Lebron's teammates can stay reasonably healthy this year?

Warriors fvcked.

[ShawkFactory]

If healthy, the east will have a pretty damn good team coming out..

[sdot_thadon]

Well last year the didn't have to see the spurs or clippers who I thought would be better matchups than the rox were. If they get the same fortune in their path they got a pretty good shot though. But I'm not sure they repeat, we'll have a better idea of their chances come march. As of now I'll say 15% before they wreck the league and win 70+

[LakersForlife]

30% for dubs 40% for the spurs. 30 percent for the remaining playoff teams. you can thank me later

[Legends66NBA7]

Obviously teams that don't make the playoffs have no chance, so taking away them and adding the rest of the 16 that make the playoffs...


Warriors: 24%
Spurs: 22%
Cavaliers: 21%
Thunder: 15%
Rockets: 10%
Clippers: 6%

Rest of the playoff teams: 2%

[Dbrog]

Honestly almost none. They would need to get lucky with other teams getting injured again or avoid certain matchups. I don't see any way for them to beat the Spurs and I think they probably lose to healthy OKC as well. I'm not confident they could beat a healthy Cavs either after seeing what Bron did by himself. Kyrie outplayed curry as well in that 1st game IMO.

[All Net]

Obviously teams that don't make the playoffs have no chance, so taking away them and adding the rest of the 16 that make the playoffs...


Warriors: 12.04%
Spurs: 10.93%
Cavaliers: 10.66%
Thunder: 8%
Rockets: 6.66%
Clippers: 4.26%

Rest of the playoff teams: 1.07%

Cavs should have greater odds than Spurs

Spurs no doubt improved. Their front court depth is great but their backcourt looks old and weak.

They will depend a lot on kawhi for perimeter scoring

You do know that those percentages should amount to 100% right? Unless you're predicting there's a 45% chance the world ends before the NBA finals

[AirTupac]

Not that high. They had the perfect playoff run with players hitting their streak and other teams losing players (i.e - Irving, Conley, Love and many many more).

They will not make it to the finals. My word.

Only injures that could or would of changed the result was cavs with Irving and love.

Conley injury for one wouldn't of changed the result not when he played to his normal level

True, let me fix that.

[jbryan1984]

I suppose it depends on if the cavs are short three starters again or not.

[Bobcats2013]

If everyone stays healthy(I'm talking to you, you big Australian freak)

the repeat is a lock. Would of been a three peat if Bogut didn't get hurt two years ago. I've been saying it for years. This is the new dynasty. The light skinned majesties.

[HylianNightmare]

0%

[LikeABosh]

Pretty much zero if they face a team in the Finals whose 2nd option isn't Matthew Dellevadova

[G-train]

I don't think they will repeat.

I think Warriors will have a decent season, but the Thunder will win the West.

[kamil]

100% guaranteed championship if a role player goes up against LeBron*

[bdreason]

The West is a crap shoot. It will depend on health and matchups. I'm a huge Warriors fan, but I would put their chance of making it out of the West at around 20%, and chance of repeating at around 15%.

[Young X]

I think they'll do it again, they basically brought back the same team and now they have championship experience. It's just a matter of health. Only teams that are real threats to them are possibly the Spurs and the Cavs.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

Spurs and Clippers intrigue me more than the Warriors chance at repeating. But I still give Warriors a good 30-35% chance at a repeat. I think they will reach the WCSF or WCF with ease.

[sodapop]

Right now it's hard to tell, depending on trades & free agency before the season start. I'm leaning towards the Spurs to win the west if they have a strong front court and defense to stop the Warriors strong isolation. Warriors have too many above average three point shooters, it will be difficult to defend their pick and roll offense. Rotation, consistent switching man to man defense and rebounding is the key against the Warriors. Warriors chances at repeating, 80% if the season started today as teams are right now.

Cavs won the championship in 2016. 3 FMVP for LeBron.
