re: Where would you rank this Warriors team in history?

I don't think the WC was absurd.
All 6 Bulls teams beat this GS team....no?

Y'all are knocking them because they basically had two of their worst shooting games all season in the Finals, while ignoring the 100 other games they played.

Good heavens...this is ridiculous. They are easily in the top half since I've been alive.
Their depth, in particular, is almost unmatched in recent memory. Their highest-paid player rode the pine throughout most of the playoffs, and yet they never had a series go past six games coming out of one of the best conferences I can ever remember.

The Spurs were the 6 seed. The 8th seed featured arguably the 3rd best player in the league.
Stop being dumb.

What about it isn't true? Everyone who knocks the Warriors is basing it on two of their worst offensive performances of the season.

I don't know. It is nearly impossible to compare teams from then and now. They play so differently.

Probably but it's a lot closer than some realize. Jordan & Pippen would give Curry & Thompson fits on the perimeters. The crazy thing about this Warriors team is that Klay Thompson doesn't realize how good he can be just yet. He played timid & scared this series & it showed. It reminds me of when the Bulls got Pippen & it took him 3 full seasons before he realized he didn't need play second fiddle to anyone, not even MJ. Thompson needs to wake up & realize he doesn't need to play second fiddle to Curry for Warriors to truly be great.
I'm not sure the Bulls during their run could have handled the early 80s Celtics though. The Celtics bigs Robert Parish & Kevin McHale would have given the Bulls center by committee fits. As great as of perimeter defender Pippen was, he wasn't going to stop Larry Bird.

It absolutely was. It came down to the last game to decide the 8th seed in the West, and the Pelicans got in and finished with a record of 45-37 playing in the Southwest division where everyone in the division got in. The Nets were the 8th seed with a 38-44 record. Pelicans had a better record than seeds 5-8 in the East, played in a much more competitive division, and still had to fight to make it in at an 8th seed. After playing in this crazy competitive division and playing well enough to survive and make the playoffs, they get swept in the first round with only one (painful, heartbreaking) game even being remotely close against the 1st seed. Don't forget the they split four games with the 2nd seed in the West, Houston, and one of their losses was a two point loss. The West's 8th seed went .500 in a division where teams averaged 52.2 wins this season and over .500 in the regular season. This is just my personal Pelicans fandom speaking, too. The numbers are worse.
Teams in the East had an average of 38.46 wins (.469) during the regular season while the playoff teams in the East averaged 47.125 wins (.575). The average number of wins during the regular season for teams in the West was 44.533 wins (.543) while the West's playoff teams averaged 53.75 wins (.655). Just from these numbers alone, the entire West averaged damn near just as many wins as the East's playoff teams, and four teams in the West won 30 or less games. The West was stacked.

No. 91-92 Bulls could have lost to this team, and it wouldn't be shocking. They pretty much struggled just as much with Clyde as GS did with Lebron, and Clyde didn't play anywhere near as well as Lebron did in this series.
