Whoops...meant to include Mavs who beat Miami, not OKC who lost. Did forget LAL was this decade.

And, yes, saw OSU. Probably playing as most of us expected before the season. That team that climbed to #2 a mirage. Really wish they had a shooter like Diebler.

It's really mind boggling Ohio State got to # 2. Just another example why I don't pay attention to the top 25 during he regular season. Same goes for CFB.

Significantly weaker? The WC has a 6-4 edge in the Finals over the EC the last 10 years. That's not exactly dominace.

Would have been 7-3 if the Warriors stayed healthy last year

He posted that after you!

But sure, tlance thought so back then. Defendable. Obviously not now.

Draymond was a legit all-star but is definitely not worth much on a bad team. It is what it is.
It was last season. Not like it was that long ago.

Green is a solid role player on a great team. Useless on a bad one.

Most players are useless on a bad team.

Agree.....though cannot say they didn't deserve it at the time. But, yeah, doesn't really matter in bball.

What's the use of that?
If we were comparing teams it means very little, but when you are comparing or judging the talent of a plyer it matters.

But you aren't saying anything I didn't already believe.....on an elite team with a number of great to elite players Green is a great guy to have. On the vast majority of teams he's nothing special.

Sounds right to me. Glad we have him.

Coulda, shoulda, woulda. :heh: But the fact is the WC only has a 6-4 Finals edge the last 10 years. Hardly dominant like you claimed.

But the question is who is not better under ideal circumstances, it is who is a better basketball player. The answer is not Draymond Green.

Green was not just on a good team, BTW, he was on arguably one of the best ever. As Raptor said, great players can at least put up numbers on bad teams (even when they are the focal point of the other team´s defense). Love can...Green cannot.

Love can put up numbers on bad teams. Good for him.

Draymond put up numbers on great Warrior teams in ‘15 and ‘16, just not in the scoring column.

Draymond isn’t a great player. But neither is Kevin Love.
