Who is the Warriors' biggest threat in the Western Conference?

[HurricaneDij39]

Golden State undoubtedly has the most talented roster in the NBA, but they aren't flawless. But, the question is, who has the potential (if any) to take them down?

If someone says Grizzlies with serious thought I think I might puke...Chandler Parsons is such a fucking hack.

Umm... Why are the Lakers there?

And why is OKC not an option? If you are going to include Portland and Houston you have to include OKC.

The Lakers. They're gonna hire that dude Tonya Harding used to kneecap Durant, Curry and Klay.

You're just jealous because the Suns didn't make the cut.

Twas a joke to see how many votes they get.

I think Houston is going to open some eyes this year. Mike D'Antoni will open up the offense and not rely on Harden all the time. Gordon, Anderson, and Nene are much better fits than Dwight Howard and Terrence Jones. And yes, they still have some defensive-minded guys in Beverly, Ariza, Brewer, and Capela.

A healthy Clippers team if they can somehow get a respectable SF. I wouldn't pick them to win, but when healthy, they always gave the pre-Durant Dubs fits.

Also, keep an eye on the Jazz.

Sticking with the Grizzlies. Not as the 2nd best team in the west, but as the team most suited to beat warriors in a 7 game series.

I think the spurs, clippers, and grizzlies all have the inside scoring to attack the warriors front court.

The SPURS frontcourt will give Golden State fits.
Signing Durant made GSW thin, inexperienced, or simply worse in the post..

7-foot Aldridge, 7-foot Gasol, and freakishly long DPOY Kawahi Leonard will challenge every shot within 10 feet.
If the Warriors are not hitting the outside shots (Which they do well), they are not scoring versus SA.

On the other side, the Ws don't have a single player that can defend the low post at all.
If Parker/Ginobili can give anything, there is nothing to stop their layups at the rim in addition to the Big guys post moves.

Obviously, the Warriors will be favorites.
But, the SPURS do have a matchup advantage......if they can exploit it (easier said than done), they can win.

Seriously. Don't say Memphis who has a proven core and just added Parsons. But I'll go ahead and include the Lakers who still have a young core who can't even legally drink yet, but haven't sniffed the playoffs. What a joke.
