I do agree that the Warriors really want to win it but if they get the matchups in a better place and just miss shots then I still think they can come back and win. If they have some fundamental issues with the matchup again in game 2 then its probably not going to correct itself and...yeah...bad news for Golden St.
Because Curry isn't the defender that Klay is. Klay is bigger AND stronger than Curry. You can go back and watch the game and look at the stats. It wasn't by accident that RW was 7-21 on the night. Pay particular attention to the 1st half when he was defended by Klay and in the 4th quarter when he was defended by Klay. You might be surprised at how well Klay did.
History will most likely repeat itself. When the Warriors won in 75, the following year they lost in the conference finals. Its just too tough to repeat.
I think when a team like the Warriors comes along and defies history that they should get a little slack in what is possible.
Not me. It will do damage to this year's record-setting team but will have no bearing on last year's team. But I'd be interested to hear why you think it would.
Oh easy. Last year would've been seen as a down year in the NBA and the Warriors were just a team that had to win it because they didn't play the Thunder or a good Spurs team and the Cavs were on year 1 and not in the groove yet.
It does and it doesn't. People always rank players and teams especially in the NBA.
Disagree. Nobody remembers 5 years after the fact when there was a down year in the NBA, only who was the champion.
While this is true- I don't agree that it's always necessarily accurate. If the ultimate goal of each team is to win the championship-and said team reaches that goal-then how can they be rated anything other than the best?
