Can the Warriors win the NBA Playoffs?

No offense to Bogut but I feel like they need that one big man down low to win it all.

They are extremely legit.
Bogut, when healthy, is a good center.

Like, the whole thing? Even the Finals?

Yeah, they definitely can.

I'll say they can win it if they get very lucky with favourable matchups ie teams that they wouldn't beat get knocked out by someone else. Lucky for them, there's a great chance of this happening in the West. Styles make fights.

This.
Charles Barkley said it perfectly just recently. Jump shooting teams generally fade out come playoff time. Curry and Thompson, however, are so good the rule almost doesn't apply to them, because they are EXCEPTIONAL shooters. Additionally, they are a good (and vastly underrated) defensive team.
No idea how far they go, but GSW is much improved from the last couple of years, which is scary.

Right. I don't think this is a Phoenix Suns situation. They have a balanced roster, play both Offense and Defense, have guys like Bogut and Ig that can protect, and they have two absolutely exceptional shooters.
They are the best team in the West. That doesn't mean they will win it all, but they certainly can.

I guess my issue is that, in game 7 of the conference/NBA Finals, their jump shots stop falling and they have nowhere to go.
Maybe they are just THAT GOOD of a shooting team that it wont be an issue, but I'm skeptical.

Well they are really good on both sides of the ball so of course they can.
And Bogut is a solid big man.

Im starting Zach Lavine tonight so Im curious to see how he does vs them. Cant pass up Lavine at $4900 on fanduel even vs the warriors.

They will get swept by the Blazers who'd be en route to a 16-0 playoff record this year.

Bogut has been fantastic so far this season. Health is the biggest question mark. Things are going unbelieveably smoothly right now, but it's only December. Like others have said, the team is a two way force of offense and defense. They'll hit a wall offensively at some point, and sputter for a couple weeks, but this team is easily the best Warriors team I've ever seen. It's fun as hell. I plan my activities around the games now

One thing though... Andrew Bogut has had injury trouble in recent years. The Warriors defense aims to funnel players to Bogut.
If he misses games, their defense will take a big hit.

Not unless they have a low post presence. They need David Lee healthy to help rebound and score down low.

If Bogut is healthy they are a very dangerous playoff team. There are about 6 teams in the West I wouldn't be surprised to see win the whole thing, which is why match ups are so damn important.

I know Draymond is playing well and all, but I would still start Lee when he returns. Draymond can not guard the sheer volume of talented PFs in the West.
They can win it all imo. They don't really nearly as much on the jump shot as in years past. They've added dimension to their transition game, and Thompson is the 2nd best SG in the NBA for my money.

If you'd start Lee over Draymond at this point, I'd rather have Monty Williams coaching the warriors than you
