    Kobe and Shaq were in their prime and even at the end of his career, Malone could run the court for a full game without even breathing heavy...he probably still can. Unfortunately he did get injured before the finals but he was a big part of getting them there...Payton was too.

    Curry has had very few injury free seasons...his ankles are made of glass. The way he plays is actually pretty high risk for a guy with bum ankles

    The Warriors effectively signed a prime Malone (MVP candidate).

    The L*kers signed two aged veterans who were seeking a ring.

    I know....isn't everyone seeking a ring? ..my point is they had 4 hall of famers to chase that ring.....and the game has changed...some stars today wouldn't have looked quite as impressive against big man ball of the past. Durant dominates in a small ball world of 3 pt shooting...

    Barkley says weird things at times.
    But he also says some smart things as well.
    To beat the Warriors, you don't try to out score them. You pound them on the glass.
    No other team in the league right now has two past scoring champions on their team + Thompson.
    You won't score with them, especially over a 4-7 game series.
    You can however get physical with them like the Thunder did to go up 3-1 before Westbrick and Durant decided offense was more important than physical play.
    The Cavs got physical with them in the finals.

    Warrior fans who follow the team have one worry. Big, physical teams. Even they admit it.
    It's an even more glaring hole without Andrew Bogut on the team.

    SO ONCE AGAIN I'M VERY CONFUSED!

    The individual who started this amazing thread, predicted that'd our Blazers finish AHEAD of this Warriors team.

    Can somebody please explain this logic to me.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The Warriors aren't fair. Portland can score with them. Therefore, Portland isn't fair.

    Break up the Blazers!

    I agree, but why are you talking about 1991?

    Holy crap. Klay Thompson scored 60 points in 29 minutes. Fuck this.

    to beat the Warriors, they have to be hampered with key injuries like they were last year with Curry. There've been bigger favorites who've lost before, but (given health) someone will have to play out of their heads to best them.

    That's 2.06 ppm. I believe Martell scored 26 in 12 minutes once: that's 2.16 ppm. Martell FTW!!1! !@! ;)
