Literally no excuses for the Warriors

[Ben Simmons]

None. Must win the 2017 championship.

The funny thing is even if KD or Steph get injured, they're still probably the favorites. :oldlol:

This. Curry can be injured. Klay can be injured and green can be suspended and they will STILL be title contenders :roll:

No depth? They have the best bench in the league

They will fool

With Durant and superior game-planning (learning from 2016 just like the Spurs learned from 2013) - Lebron has zero chance... book it - 3/8 incoming.

This is especially true considering the Warriors were within 1 minute of winning, despite Dray's suspension and injuries to Curry/Bogut/Iggy.

Agreed 100%. But if Lebron pulls it off he's better than Jordan.

Yup, but if Lebron somehow beats them... Man it's hard to put Jordan over him at this point given their competition

[Sarcastic]

82-0 RS
16-0 PO

No excuses.

O wow, it's already starting :oldlol: they had no excuses for this year either. They won 73 ****ing games, and had a 3-1 finals lead.

Livingston and Iggy, the rest don't even belong in the NBA

They blew a 3-1 lead. And the year before they only won because of injuries to Cleveland.

[DirkNowitzki41]

no shit. there wasnt any excuses for the warriors choke THIS yr, let alone next season.

[Cap'n Obvious]

Teams always find excuses. Injuries and rigging are frequent go to excuses for fans.

Regular season records aren't a good way to gauge a goat team, since teams with the best record FREQUENTLY lose in the playoffs.. The Warriors were 15-9 in these playoffs and looked mediocre compared to other great teams - many of the Bulls' Finals opponents would beat this year's Warriors.

Btw, Jordan beat Magic and Shaq, who are better than anyone Lebron has ever faced, let alone defeated.

Jordan won his last ring only 6 years before Lebron entered the league - both guys played against many of the same players and in the modern era, so we can use rings and fmvp's to determine the goat.

Infact - Shaq, Kobe, Duncan and Garnett are the best players Lebron ever played against - and they were all-stars in 1998 when Jordan dominated them more than Lebron ever has (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=412835), while winning all the awards over them (MVP, FMVP, all-star MVP, scoring title, championship).

Other players also finished behind Jordan in 1998, including Grant Hill, Penny, Drexler, Payton, Pippen, David Robinson, Hakeem, and more - these guys are obviously equal or greater than today's best.. So it's clear that both Jordan and Lebron played in the modern era and we can just go by rings and fmvp's to determine the goat.. that means mj is the goat.

Lebron always has more help - just look at the stats.

Jordan's 36/7/8 in 1991-1993 Finals > Lebron's 30/11/9 SPECIFICALLY because Jordan scored 16 ppg more than Pippen and made all the game-winning plays, while Lebron only scored 2 ppg more than Kyrie with Kyrie making the game-winning plays

Also, Lebron averaged 24 ppg and 6 turnovers thru 4 games (3-1 deficit), and came back by averaging 36 ppg in the final 3 games.. But if he averaged 36 ppg for the ENTIRE SERIES like Jordan did in 1991-1993 Finals, then he wouldn't need a 7th game... MJ was much >>

Haha....

This team has a chance to win 4 titles in the next 5 years...

Curry/Klay/Iggy/Durant/Green...is the single most dangerous lineup in the league by a considerable margin.
