One of the Warriors own assistant coaches over the summer admitted that this is the only team he's ever seen that faced no adversity all season in 2015.
Many people outside the org think the same thing and rightfully so. They got very lucky. That's why these guys are coming out so hard this season. They want to win back to back really bad to prove everyone wrong.

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/14204846/lebron-james-says-golden-state-warriors-most-healthy-team-ever-seen
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- LeBron James says there is a not-so-secret ingredient -- beyond a talented roster that features reigning MVP Stephen Curry -- to the Golden State Warriors' success: avoiding injuries.
"I think it comes with a lot of health," James said when asked about the Warriors tying the all-time mark for best start to a season at 15-0. "They've been healthy. They've been the most healthy team I've ever seen in NBA history, and they have great talent. Those guys all play for one common goal and that's to win, and that's all that matters."
James said that continuity in the lineup has led to consistency in their play.
"They've just been consistent," James said. "I think the most impressive thing is the way they just they've been playing at a high level, man, for so long."
The Cleveland Cavaliers, meanwhile, are down four of their top eight rotation players at the moment with Kyrie Irving (left knee), Iman Shumpert (right wrist), Timofey Mozgov (right shoulder) and Mo Williams (right ankle) all sidelined.
"I'd much rather be on the other side and having guys in the lineup, having guys healthy," James said. "I've always heard that saying of, 'Is it a blessing that guys are out and guys can step in?' I think it's good for some of the guys that don't get to play as much -- they get an opportunity. But at the same time, I'd much rather be full and know what we're going to have and play at a high level for most of the year so we know what we can fall back on at the end of the season.
"But that's one thing you can't control. You can't control injuries. The one thing you can control is what you're doing out on the floor, how well you're playing, how hard you're playing and how much you're sacrificing and giving to your teammates."
The Cavs were missing Irving, Kevin Love and Anderson Varejao in their 4-2 Finals loss to the Warriors, while Shumpert and Matthew Dellavedova were also battling health issues.
Golden State has understandably been on Cleveland's mind this season, with James calling the Warriors the "more hungry" team thus far. Several Cavs players have also mentioned being motivated by the anger they felt over the Finals loss.
"They're going to be a tough team to beat all year and they've been great so far," Love said. "We'll see what happens."
Golden State hasn't been completely healthy, however. Luke Walton has filled in for coach Steve Kerr all season, of course, as he recovers from two offseason back surgeries. James, however, said you can't compare the loss of a coach to the loss of a key player.
"It would be more impressive if they were doing all this without Steph," James said. "Then there would be a conversation to talk about."
^For anyone who wanted to read the whole things and didn't just read the title.

This reminds me of LeBron's salty comments during the peak of Durant's MVP run two years ago. Bron tried to turn the narrative and act like he could do what Durant was doing if he was allowed more shots. LOL.
Bron is no longer the face of the league, and being an attention whoring beta, he's salty about it. It's obvious. But, he teamed up with Irving and Love, two injury prone empty stats stars (see last years finals for proof). He has no ground to stand on to comment on other teams health. He made his bed, now it's time to lie in it. Night, night Bronna

Lebron is on one though. Calling out his team mates in public, walks off the court when they don't do something right. I know he wants to be the best but he should be kinder to his fellow team mates and not take swipes at other teams success.

I clearly remember conversations on here on how the Warriors would never reach their ceiling because of all their injuries. Bogut, mostly, but also the perceived Curry injury-prone "problem", as well as problems with Lee.
And now they have one somewhat healthy season (still had injuries) and they're the most healthy team in NBA history.

what stupidity is this? staying healthy IS EARNING the title
obviously, it's on the coaching staff to manage players so they stay healthy.
if they stayed healthy, they deserved the title they won. especially since it's so hard to stay healthy all throughout the year.
hint: playing team ball helps in staying healthy.
so the Warriors do deserve their rings.

Ironically, Health didn't play a factor when Dallas was missing Caron Butler. When old ass Tim Duncan handed him the biggest loss nba finals history, I'm sure some of those guys were old and broken down toward the end of the playoffs.

No guarantee that it becomes a sweep, but Curry's concussion is often overlooked. People assume the Warriors were healthy because their bodies where physically on the floor, but their best player was playing through that concussion, which clearly effected him.

It's only a matter of time before we see Lebron on the court with bionic, indestructible, cyborg basketball players.
Only then, will he have enough help....

You'rejust a different type of fan, kiddo. When my lakers were starting Radmanovich in replacement for Trevor Ariza in the 2008 finals, it sucked. But I never used that as an excuse for why Boston beat us.
On the other hand, Lebron fans an people of your ilk have been making excuses for him since 2007.
It's not really an excuse. I'm not saying they would have won had Love and Kyrie been out there.
But that certainly changed the series.
Losing Trevor Ariza is not the same as losing both Kyrie AND Love. The second best scorer on the team then became, what...JR Smith? Not really conducive for the finals.
PS...you have no idea what I am as a basketball fan :lol
Ariza wasn't even as starter for the Lakers in 2008. How we gonna equate losing a 7/4 role player off the bench with losing not one but 2 all-stars :lol
Come on now friend.

Lebron is a salty bitch :oldlol:
There was a time when Steph Curry couldn't finish a game without spraining his ankle. There's literally a 5 minute compilation of him getting injured https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn0sLhDkBzk That's why the Warriors got a big discount on his contract. Some people thought he would never get past the ankle problems.
Now he strings together a few healthy seasons and Bran gets all butthurt, even though Bran has had remarkable luck in regards to health. How dare Steph stay healthy :rolleyes:

Leon Powe is what turned the tide for the Celtics in 2008...his rebounding and hustle plays on offense always seemed to keep Momentum in Bostons favor.
Ariza's defense alone would have absolutely helped negate most of Powe's impact or at least helped LA match up...
it's not always about Allstars on paper ( cough...Miami...most stacked team ever)....but mostly about Matchups.

No not always. But having 2 other guys that can consistently score vs having none others that can do that...kind of a big difference.
And it's hard for me to believe that Powe was the main factor in that series. He was fantastic in game 2 but outside of that he played less than 6 minutes a game. Didn't have an assist, a block, or a steal in the entire series either.
Numbers aren't the end-all-be-all of course, but to me it seems like he was an energy guy in very small spurts off the bench who was huge in 1 game...and that the Celtics were just a better team.
Allen shot 52% from deep, Garnett was a monster on both ends, Pierce was his usual cold-blooded self...and Kobe struggled.

Salt doesn't sizzle in the absence of wounds.
I am excited, as I'm sure the rest of the basketball community to get Kyrie back though. :rockon:

He isn't only talking about Curry. The Warriors haven't had any serious injuries the last season and this season. No key players have been hurt either.

Lol @ Lebron for these comments. If the guy had any offensive moves on the perimeter and a half decent jumper, that series would've been more competitive.
A 4-2 series is competitive.
Never seen a player of his caliber get played straight up like that with tons of cushion on offense.
You also have never seen a player play in 5 consecutive Finals. Lead both teams in points, rebounds and assists. Or get 4 votes for FMVP while on the losing team.
stay jealous, chico.

In the Games he did play was he making that much of a difference? Putting up 7/7 in 20 minutes per game.

Dude is brutally honest about shit these days
His interviews are ten times more powerful than curry's. Curry has nothing to say, and no points to make
LeBron owns the room every time he speaks
Have u seen curry play?? He doesnt need to talk.

Lebron is such a bitch sometimes...
They were healthy for a title run...even then it's not like they had no injuries...Bogut was hurt at times
The Heat in 11 didn't suffer any major injuries...what happened there Bron?
