That’s got to be a terrible feeling watching Harden ball out and getting absolutely blasted at home.
Hell, that's just 1 guy as CP3 didn't play well.

Bron/Kyrie had I believe the best Finals ever for 2 dudes on 1 team, and the Cavs were never in that series.

It’s bad for the NBA man. Warriors will win every title going forward until major injuries or Father Time comes around. Yippee.

That's historically never been bad for the NBA

I’d say this dynasty is a little different than most of the ones that preceded it.

If Brown and Tatum continue to develop, the Celtics could have 4 all-star caliber players as well (and one former all-star caliber player).

But that still doesn't put them on GS level. GS doesn't just have four all stars, they have two HOF players to go with two additional all stars

From @ESPNStatsInfo: The Warriors scored 54 points on uncontested looks in Game 1, tying for the second-most they've scored this postseason and the most the Rockets have allowed in the playoffs this season.

That’s what people don’t get. In the last 30 years, all the great teams have at least been tested. This Warriors team is so stacked that they could feasibly not have a series go to 6 games one time in a 3 peat if they’re healthy again next year and stay healthy this year.

Nah, that's not correct.

I think Gerald Green gave up 40 by himself

pretty much.

they'll rule the east, but this GSW monster is different.

you have 4 top 20 players, 2 of which are top 5.
top 3 PG
best SG
top 2 SF
top 5 PF/C

like cmon, this is just getting unfair.

Does anyone actually think Draymond is overrated? Most just hate him because he's dirty.



I would like to see his game outside of having 3 of the best offensive players in the NBA to work off of. He fits so perfectly at GSW, I don't think he'd be as effective elsewhere

IF this happens they could have 4 all-star caliber players. The Warriors actually have 4 all-nba players

Klay Thompson seems like such a genuinely humble dude. Even if I don't like some of the players in this series, he's easy to root for.


Feel the same way about Klay and Iggy as well.

He’s the glue guy. Def wouldn’t work as a #1 or 2

Yet on some publications he's ranked as the 11th best player in the league. And, some people say that he's not overrated
He's a top 20-30 player, not a top 15 player.

I'm going to say GS wins the series in 5. Rockets and Pels fans unite.
