Am I the only one who doesn't buy into the Warriors championship hype

[stalkerforlife]

They ain't winning shit.

Another Phx Suns.

Firing Jackson and refusing to play Lee shows they have no class.

Borderline racist move huh?

I think it had a lot to do with the gay guy that runs the Warriors, too. Jackson doesn't agree with his lifestyle.

The NBA kicks out a racist owner but allows a gay owner

Elite defense

blazers have 62 points at the half

Blazers shot 29% in the 3rd quarter.

The Warriors have an elite defense (best in the league as a matter of fact). That is not debatable.

They were taking terrible shots.

awful quarter

[sportjames23]

Good point. Hard to believe in the Cavs when they have a guy who chokes in almost every championship series he's ever been in.... including his junior year in high school when he lost the state championship to an ALL WHITE team.

Damn, for real?

[Captvic]

I'm not sold either. Spurs will expose them like they did in 2013.

[buddha]

they're pretty good. if they beat the Thunder they will win the championship. Nobody else in the West can hang with them.

the differences between Dampier and Chandler huh

[swagga]

as others have said, a list of all the concerns :

- no consistent post scoring
- no historically dominant playoffs scorer (durant, kobe, lebron, duncan, pierce, etc)
- no relevant leadership, intangibles and experience (lebron, kobe+phil, duncan+pop, big3 celtics,dirk+carlisle etc)

These things matter alot in the PO game and teams will test the warriors, who are a GREAT RS team, but these things almost guarantee they not getting out of the west. The closest teams to the warriors actual situation were detroit (decent O, won vs a divided laker team + weak east, sheed low post scoring, GOAT D), and a young okc (westbrook-harden-durant on the same team, going against old slow teams-la,spurs,mavs- in the west) that got beaten handily in the finals.

What do people not get about this?

I feel like people don't trust the warriors because their star is seen as "fragile" and "weak" at a subconscious level.

These warriors are dominant on BOTH ends of the floor. That's the difference between them and the other teams OP mentioned.

People don't take their defense seriously for some reason.

y'all may get your asses busted

Nothing is certain, sure.
