I always find it interesting when people bitch about "superteams", but then say they couldn't handle teams of the past.
Sheed may have lacked self control, but it was with refs, other players didn't get to him. But he sure got in other's head with his trash talk.Sheed and Green are very different players and both excellent. Not saying one is better than the other because it is very close.
As for Sheed getting in Green's head? I am sure that is true, but Sheed was not exactly a model of self control. Those two would be at each other constantly and I am guessing neither would be at their best.
No offense my friend, but I'm not even going to read your posts on the Warriors. They're that ridiculous to me.Are you joking? I think maybe, but I am not sure.
I find quotes like these really funny. It is easy for retired players to sit back and say "my team would have beat them." Bottom line, it is an unprovable comment so it is a pointless thing to say. Still though, just because a team can guard 1-5 does not automatically make them better than GS. GS has ridiculous offensive fire power and they can guard a bit themselves too.
In fact, while those Pistons might match up okay defensively, I would go so far as to say they do not matchup well offensively. Their only real 1 on 1 matchup where they have a scorer matched up on a non-elite defender would be whichever of the guards Curry defended.

Well, they beat Shaq-Kobe team which I think is one of the most dominant teams ever. They were able to shut down Kobe, and it was just Shaq who was carrying the Lakers that time. With the Warriors not having a legit big, I don't think they have any problem with it.
Because you aren't interested in anyone else point of view on them.Why? Because I think they are going to be great?
It is far more ridiculous to think they can't be. Nothing is for sure yet, but their ceiling is higher than any team I have seen in the last 20 years.
The '04 Pistons were a good team, but they were far from great. They matched up well with the Lakers and beat them.
These Warriors have a chance to be among the greatest teams ever. The '04 Pistons aren't anywhere near that conversation.

You think they'd be challenging the 95-96 Bulls as the "Best NBA team ever assembled" ?
The Pistons would prolly win in 5.
Rasheed never did cover the corner well when it mattered.
(These Warriors wouldn't beat many teams previous to this decade.)

Any other team in the same conversation?Maybe...if that was the best NBA team ever assembled.
Any team with Bill Russell, right @HammerDown?Any other team in the same conversation?
