Don't get me wrong...

Congrats to the Warriors on their title...there is no such thing as a "cheap" title, so I'm not trying to rain on Golden State's parade...they had to beat a lot of good teams to get to the finals...and they deserve to enjoy their rings.
But that being said, i'm not ready to crown them a great team, let alone a dynasty in the making...if they have any perspective and humility, they need to be asking themselves how they would have fared against a healthy Cavs team...remember--I'm a Pacers fan...no dog in this fight.
If they beat a fully healthy Cavs team with Irving, Love, and LeBron, or a team with comparable talent, then maybe I'd be willing to say maybe they belong in the elite...but not until.
My guess? They won't repeat next year...very talented, but there are a LOT of very talented teams in the NBA...
