POLL Can anyone dethrone the Golden State Warriors?

[LambeauLegs]

Well the Warriors were able to hold the Bucks under 140 points tonight but yes the man Giannis did not play at all in the 4th quarter having 5 fouls. Maybe they could have hit 140 if he played through out the game. A nice win beating the Warriors buy 23 at their place.

Of course the Power rankings next week will still have the Warriors above the Bucks though!

Great showing by the Bucks, they are legit. ECF at least.

With his absence due to injury, Draymond Green proved how valuable he is to the Warriors. Also missing because of injury was Shaun Livingston, who is one of the main catalysts for the Dubs off their bench. Steph only played a little over 2 quarters as a precaution after getting injured midway through the 3rd.

I'm positive if GS played at full strength tonight, the outcome would've been much different.

That being said, props nonetheless to Milwaukee for winning on the road in a tough venue.

It's gonna be at least 3 teams jockeying hard for that plateau... and whomever of Toronto, Boston or Milwaukee (possibly the '6ers too) is left out is gonna be awfully disappointed.

#1 seed will be extra valuable in the East this year for that reason. So far the Raptors look like they are going to be hard to beat in that race.

I enjoyed watching and hopefully it can continue!

Thanks for noticing: Bucks on a mission to show they're for real

To put in perspective just how dominant the Bucks' performance was in Oakland, consider that Milwaukee outscored the Warriors 84-34 in the paint. That was Golden State's worst such differential in the Kerr era, according to research by ESPN Stats and Information. The 134 points that the Warriors gave up were the second most that a Kerr-led team has allowed -- and the most an opponent has scored at Oracle Arena in a non-overtime game since the Phoenix Suns dropped 154 on the Warriors in 2009.

An interesting stat I was made aware if with team rebounds comparing last year to this year.

I really don't think basketball is as simple as throwing all stars together for success. Look at the Bronze medal Olympic team. Just didn't work well together.

That all star team would lack shooting and players who are effective without the ball. I think they would struggle against the Warriors or Raptors.

No.

Even matchup in all honesty.

Because that crew doesn't fit at all.

Give me something like:

LeBron
Kawhi
AD
Middleton
Covington

Less high end talent, fewer ball dominate players and suffocating defense.

Not til the playoffs start. I still think they end up the 1 or 2 seed in the West and will get to the finals.
