Should i wear my game 7 kyrie 2s or zoom generation vachetta tans to the bar saturday?

A couple of intriguing hypothetical matchups for the Warriors that haven't been mentioned are the '95 Magic, 95 Rockets, 14 Spurs and '13 Heat.

Especially the 95 Magic. Nick Anderson and Dennis Scott averaged almost 6 3PA a piece....both shooting at 42% percent. Penny shot a respectable 35% on over 3 threes a game. This is the early to mid 90s mind you. To have 3 players that were elite 3 point shooters, shooting a combined 15 threes a game with Shaq was crazy.

Then you had Horace grant who could move his feet, defend and hit long 2s. And of course...Shaq in his mobile, athletic prime.

I think that team would def be an interesting matchup for the Warriors.

I'd take GS easy over any of those teams. Rockets would be food on defense besides Hakeem. You got to have elite prime all time talent to compete with them with at least 2 superstars. That's why the Bulls, 80s Lakers/Celtics, 00s Lakers, really the only ones I can see beating them. And they would have to be the best versions of those teams. 86, 87, 96, 01 respectively. 

 

[Mark Antony]

An efficient, smart team with all their stars could beat the Ws. Cavs don't look like it right now. Spurs would've​ def pushed​ them to the brink with Kawhi and TP.

Oh I'd still take GSW...but I think those teams have the unique blends of elite shooting and athletic shooting wings and versatile bigs to make things interesting.

Especially the 95 Magic

 

[freeze]

Bruhhhh, dude seems locked in and ready


*Live look at Curry during Warm Ups*

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Klay ready too

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Drizzy Dray


Kd..

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

Ohio dead.

The King dies tonight.

 

[ballinsam23]

Any team with a prime Shaq on it would give this Warriors team problems. There's really zero dominant big men in this league.

I don't know they got swept by the Rockets so I don't think they'd have a chance.

I now know why the quality level in this thread is so low--75% of y'all weren't born before 1996

 

[IATT]

I never asked anything about durant...

You literally asked why he stayed. I said money (which is what he is responding to) and a bunch of young teammates. Go back a read what you wrote

When.. quote where exactly I asked that

I don’t think he even knows what he’s going on about

You can feel free to quote where exactly I asked this too

 

[ballinsam23]

They were a young team with no Finals experience. Pretty much a young OKC of their time.

 

[IATT]

This ain't me.. just an FYI

If KD hated OKC so much, why did he resign the first time in 2010?

chauncy billups is delusional. 04 rules 17 rules it don't matter, this warrior team is whooping that ***

 

[addict4sneakers]

I wish the Spurs wouldn't have got hurt so they could have got that work too.

Cause they would have

 

[Mark Antony]

Chauncey had a good point in this debate of Ws vs teams of different eras. What eras rules are they being governed by, now or then? Some of that old tough defense would be hard for these dudes.

Exactly, I think to be safe the early 2000s were kind of the bridge between the super physical era and the soft one, so if you go there I'd favor a lot of the older elite teams, but nobody is beating GS playing at their own rules I don't think. 

 

[$tatus $ymbol]

You people are children that keep on bringing up **** like this.

The league is absolutely nothing like it was just back in like 2010.....let alone 16 YEARS AGO.

Bunch of idiots posting **** on here and social media like "it's different, LeBron didn't join the Celtics after they beat him.".......completely negating the fact that they didn't have the cap space to sign him and Pierce, Garnett and Ray Allen were all in their mid 30's.

KD was just a free agent at the perfect time with the Warriors having the perfect amount of cap space to be able to sign him after letting Barnes, Speights, Ezeli and Bogut walk. If there was a team with three stars in the prime of their career instead of just two then best believe LeBron would have signed with them.

Nah there was a time you'd watch the playoffs and expect ruthless defense. Now not so much. Not saying it's not as good, just not as ruthless.
