As basketball fans, we'd all win that series.

That's fine. I'm just not convinced yet.

May I ask why?

Feels like fans and analyst are always skeptical of teams whose success is based on good shooting. Strange thing is that with Bogut, the Warriors are one of the most well rounded teams there are.

I think it would be a short series. Warriors in 5.

With Bogut Warriors win in 5. Without Bogut its a 7 game series could go either way

OKC has looked horrible for most of this year. I want them to pull it off, but at this point, I think there is a better chance of Golden State sweeping the series than OKC winning it.

Angry KD plus Angry Russ will be a tough matchup for the Warriors. But it would be awesome to watch.

Right. With bogut, they are the clear favorite to win the championship

I just think they've gotten into the habit of being too reliant on it. Not saying that they can't win in other ways but we don't ever see it. I think you have to be prepared to play differently when other highly skilled teams take you out of what you want to do. Maybe Kerr is preparing them but I'm not convinced he is.

I think Serge Ibaka's favorite player growing up was "1995 Sam Perkins"

They are #1 in Defensive efficiency (with Bogut missing a bunch of gammes) AND #2 in offensive efficiency. Give me Golden State.
I don't think OKC presents the type of match up problems for GS that other teams could possible present.
My only worry is GS is sitting at 30th right now in strength of schedule, so come back to me in like 15-20 games.

Pelicans will probably be the team destroyed by the Warriors.

First place teams normally have lower SOS due to the fact that they can't play themselves.

Grizz are 4 games back with the 10th hardest schedule. Houston is 3rd with the 6th hardest schedule.
Atlanta who is 1.5 back and play in the East have had a tougher schedule.

Warriors. They are the better team.
I'm not sure what's up with OKC, but I just always feel like they are missing something. I always think they are missing a post player, but they have Ibaka who is really good. I think they need to go to him more than they do. He's averaging 12shots a game. Think he needs more like 15 a game. They are too guard heavy. Plus, nobody should get more shot attempts in the NBA than Durant. But Westbrook averages 20.4attempts per game while KD gets 17.4. And yea Westbrook is really good, but his %s have gone down a lot. Once again he's shooting 43% from FG and 28.1% from 3 and averaging 3.7 TOs. Not good. Especially when you have KD who shoots over 50%. Yea I get he's been banged up and what not, but still. I feel like if Westbrook would shoot 15x a game, cut down on thise bad shots, gets KD + Ibaka more touches and shot opportunities that they would be a much better team.
And when people say Goldent St. is just a 3pt shooting team... That's flat out wrong. Curry is great at getting into the paint and so is Thompson. And they are a top 5 defensively team and crazy deep. I mean David Lee and Iggy come off the bench for them. They are very deep and a complete team.
And Kerr > Brooks.

This would be a good series. GS would win, IMO. OKC lacks depth. It's a team composed of a bunch of scrubs outside of their two superstars and Ibaka. I'm also not convinced KD will be able to get fully healthy. OKC is going to need to go all in next year
