They were taking to a game 7 by a non defensive playing Houston Rockets team led by a 6'0 guard who has a history of choking in the playoffs. Remember, the great Jordan couldn't do anything with the Celtics and he even dropped 60 in a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not playing against great small ball teams, they're not. One day you're going to wake up and understand the matchups and the math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm understanding the math and how the Warriors are the best team ever at playing the most efficient basketball. You're drowning in nostalgia.

Yeah, another great pace and space team. You can't find a single example of a traditional post-up, non-shooting team that has given the Warriors any trouble. But somehow you think the 1987 Lakers would be trouble despite not matching up at all with the Warriors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan in his early ball hog days without a sufficient roster and, again, playing with the same old style that everybody else was using. The 1987 Bulls took only 299 threes all season and only shot 26% from three. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warriors, again, are not concerned with your conception of basketball. They will play 4 shooters and 1 big and their opponent will either match them in kind or it will be bombs away. Durant would play Bird and McHale/Parish couldn't be on the floor together or it would be a massacre. Who else are we missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battling? The Warriors have beaten the Cavs 14 out of 21 times in finals games. Against the Magic/Jordan of their era, they've beaten him 2/3 of the time. Yet you think a team with no conception of 2018 basketball would be trouble for them? You're crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebron has picked apart the Goldens State defense. Cleveland has missed shots. It a make or miss league. Those dudes stroked that rock in the 80's. Look at the playoff scores. GSW are not that great of a team and then you would have to deal with everyone talking like Draymond Green talks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smh Different era different rules Problem is people are comparing how teams are now under todays rules against teams from back then, you have already compromised the bias of it Just like people trying to compare LeBron to Jordan Like give it a rest, 2 completely different era's and rules, you can't compare stats like they are the same in both era's Better off just forgetting this goat crap and just accepting both as the best of their era and move on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durant would have his minutes chopped in half because he would be in foul trouble. If he's not Durant would get his buckets. But he's still going to take punishment on the other side of the court. I don't think you watched a lick of Celtics basketball in the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
