I'd say injury or some sort of epidemic in the bay area. None of these teams can compete.

The biggest threats to the Warriors are injury and complacency.

At this point, I am not even sure another team is capable of closing the gap this year.

As things currently stand... injury. Sniper at the all star game?

In the realm of at least semi-realistic hypothetical and possibility?... it's a close race between the Cav's and the Celtic's. If either can make some kind of trade move.

Toughest 7 game series: A fully healthy Milwaukee Bucks.

Not even joking. The Warriors generally have trouble against teams that have great length and have great athletes on the court. The Bucks would present a nightmare for the Warriors as they could trot out a small lineup that could be killer against them. You would have Brogdon, Middleton, Parker and Giannis as their core and could interchange the 5th depending on what is needed. You'd have Snell as a shooter, also with great size. Thon Maker if he continues his development. Rashad Vaughn showed some flashes. The Bucks are a dangerous team and could counter a lot of what the Warriors would like to accomplish. Giannis is probably 1 of 3 people in the league capable of guarding Durant 1 on 1.

I hear ya... Boston has played GS tough, too... for similar reasons... tough perimeter defense being a big key.

dealing smart or bradley won't help that.

Hopefully they can get Hayward to drop a mil this year so it can be Rozier instead of one of those 2.

The ink isn't even dry on his contract and you already want him to take less money?
