i would of added "Durant choking" to the list- as that would have been easily my 2nd or 3rd option behind LeBron.

Seriously wiggy....

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

LeBron or Kawhi most likely be the reason.

 

[The Derski]

God it is such a joy to watch LeBron right now. Not taking anything for granted.

Even more reason to bitch when he doesn't win again this season. What excuses will we have this time?

There's only one reason I think would be to blame if the Warriors were to lose and it would be simply Defense.

The Warriors offense is dynamic. Sometimes its hit or miss, but even on off days this team is capable of putting up 100 points in their sleep. The problem is sometimes when the Warriors aren't shooting well, it affects their defense. The one guy it affects the most is Klay. He's a really skilled defender, but I've noticed his defense drops from an A to like a B- if he's struggling offensively. Don't know why that is, but it just happens.

The remaining teams left to challenge the Warriors (specifically the Spurs/Rockets and Cavs) are all really good offensive teams. The Spurs have more methodology to their offense, but the movement and flow makes them hard to guard. The Rockets are gunners and fast breakers and the Cavs in addition to having probably 3 of the best scorers at their positions (Love, Lebron and Kyrie) have so many outside shooting weapons.

How the Warriors defend will determine if they're able to win the championship. They can certainly out gun any of these teams at their best, but they're also going to need to put the clamps down too. These teams are too good to simply brush off mistakes. They will make you pay for mental lapses.

Actually this year he has a pretty good "excuse", as they had to assemble a freaking Avengers level Superteam to beat him.

If he wins this year there is no longer a debate, he's at least equal to St. Jordan

This is why losing Kerr is a bigger deal than many think. At this point the only thing standing between the Ws and a ring is their own mental toughness and focus. And a lot of that comes from coaching.

Why would a cavs fan make this thread? You guys won it all last year. Let's not act like you guys aren't a favorite to win it all

lol let's relax with this avengers talk

 

[DorianRo]

No excuse for them to lose unless its an injury to a key guy. With Parker gone, they should easily get to the finals with little resistance. And they shouldn't lose to the Cavs either at full strength either as Warriors at full strength are a superior team with Durant that should put them over the edge to become a 3 straight championship dynasty.

Last years team should have won if not for the Bogut injury and losing Green for a game. This year, NO EXCUSE for them to be anything less than a champion.

No excuse for really for them to lose the next 2 championships (unless someone makes a superteam if bigger than the Cavs to stop them)

 

[tducey]

Lebron James, even then I don't know if James is enough to stop this Warriors team.

 

[thunderc]

There is only 1 reason they would not win, Karma.

 

[Mecca]

Dray playing hacky sack with some guys nuts is always a concern.

But, injury to Dray, Curry or Thompson.

Dray and Klay are the best defenders.

Smith and Kyrie would go ape shit without Klay slowing them down.

Dray is a Swiss army knife.

Need scoring, done.

Defense, playmaking...done and done.

They almost beat the Cavs without Durant.

He's a luxury, not a necessity.

Karma why? Lebron has been superteam stacking for 6 years because he couldn't get it done without MULTIPLE hall of famers. And losing twice to the lower seed in the playoffs

And that too was Karma.

And that too was Karma.

They've been mowing down Eastern Conference tomato can teams ever since. Pretty good Karma. Not bad karma
