No they wouldn't have. The Warriors defense is too good.

Ok.

How are the Warriors being disrespected? They are the favorites to come out of the West by a huge margin. Where do you see disrespect?

Disrespect by the morons giving insightful analysis of GS having zero chance on the title. :banghead:

Who are those people? I haven't seen anybody serious saying that. The consensus is that the Cavs are currently the favorites with GS 2nd and the Spurs third. Seems kind of reasonable to me and hardly disrespectful to the Warriors.

Are we talking about some random poster here disrespecting the Warriors? Is that where the induction is coming from?

Well I guess...coz I dont think GS deserve much respect yet anyway...Their success so far only earn a fair chance at the title, alongside other top contenders. Pointless thread anyway, this year wide open for anybody :crazy:

Thunder fully healthy with Kd Westbrook Serge and everybody don't forget about Kanter. That team can beat anybody anywhere. Kd and Kanter haven't even played together so nobody really knows, but Kanter will be big vs Gs. Golden state will get respect when they win a series. If it comes down to the Grizzlies and GS, im taking the grizzlies.

Many people say they should be afriad of OKC? I'd be surprised if that series went 6 games. G-State is the team to beat in the league.

And if OKC is healthy, GSW should take them seriously, yes? Either team could win IMO. It's not disrespect to have a different opinion.

Damn near every game is on national TV, the media shoves them down our throats and casual fans are riding their nuts. In no way, shape or form are the Warriors "disrespected." They're actually getting more hype than a team that has won nothing probably deserves.

Just like Hawks.
Yes I did go there

We aren't getting disrespected

A lot say we win it others don't. .there's other great teams who can win too. I like our chances but it's quite wide open

People who were calling the OKC upset had it on the assumption that OKC would be healthy, and I dont think that's an unreasonable prediction. OKC is a perennial 60 win squad with the 1st/2nd best player in basketball and an experienced supporting cast (that plays also plays elite D)

GSW will hold home court at least through the West title run. Nice. GSW has only lost 2 games at home and those were early with Bogut-Lee-Ezeli injured. GSW's healthy, they use a 10-12 deep rotation. They had a year now to fine tune the system + chemistry. GSW also ranks at the top in a BUNCH of defense and offense metrics.

I'd worry about a fully healthy OKC NEXT year. Without Durant and with Ibaka maybe not at his peak... I don't see OKC getting more than one win vs GSW. This West is so good though that anything may be possible. So far... even when GSW starts off a game a bit poorly.. they storm back at some point-in some way and win.

GSW was just a 6 seed the last 2 yr... at best "borderline contender" and there's no "famous name" they added. I get how to many it just don't add up.... but it HAS. GSW fans... to be honest...are pinching themselves. Down the line I would worry about the Griz and the Hawks or Cavs. Until thhen... I don't see who gets the 4 wins in a series including at least one at the Oracle. Between now and the finish any team CAN have a key injury.

Most years... pre-season expectations are pretty close. However I doubt ANYONE said that at this point GSW and ATL are on top. Most would have had them as maybe a 3 seed. The GAME has shifted though. GSW and ATL adapted best. TEAM play... is a big deal. Making the 3..a big deal, solid D..a big deal. Good depth..a big deal.

Really? At this point do you think OKC, NO or PHOE would knock them out? If OKC even had Durant and/or Ibaka, they would not be 100%. I really can't see them getting knocked out in the 1st, 2nd round could be interesting, but even then, I see them advancing. I see them getting atleast to the WCF.

I wouldn't be surprised if they made it out of the 1st round, but I also wouldn't be surprised if a fully healthy, well-oiled OKC takes them out, or even a "put-my-team-on-my-back" AD performance. Bogut cannot defend AD. Nobody can really defend AD that well, but I think the Warriors don't have anyone even capable -- Draymond?

AD is not enough, that whole team is riddled with injuries. Even at full health, I don't think New Orleans is anywhere near as good as GS. Also, can ANYONE defend AD? Also, who does New Orleans have that can guard Curry? Thompson? Barnes? They got so many options, there is no way New Orleans can stop that offense, and GS is a GREAT defensive team, they could probably do a lot of things to bother AD, stop him, probably no one can.

OKC has not been healthy all year, what makes you think it's going to be much different in a month? There is no timetable for Durant, that's not a good thing with the playoffs less than a month away. Even at full strength, GS would give OKC a run for their money, the way OKC currently is, I don't think they really have a chance.

If Durant/Ibaka got a week under their legs before the PS started, I'd take them in a series against anybody.

OKC has won 59 games last season, 60 the season before and they were on pace to win 60+ in the 2011/2012 lockout season. This is why you and every Warriors fan should be cautious (maybe you're not a Warriors fan, doesn't matter). The Warriors could find themselves playing a team that's capable of winning 62-63 games. This is basically unprecedented. If Durant and Ibaka can come back healthy (huge If, obviously), this could very easily turn into a seven games series.

OKC would match up talent-wise, heck, they would probably have more talent. Would the Warriors be the favorites? Sure. They have the defense that OKC doesn't, and they have impeccable synergy. OKC however, could win on sheer talent. Well, that's obviously an exaggeration, but I'm sure you understand what I'm talking about.

Boo hoo.

If the Warriors fans hate being disrespected, that means it's new to them. All fanbases of successful teams are insulted often because of the rise of d-bag fans. Every successful team has them, it's even worse when unsuccessful teams have them. People have some leverage on the Warriors seeing as the Warriors franchise last won in the 70s, and the Warriors lost last season to the ever-so-pitiful Clippers who are known for underperforming in big games/the playoffs.

The Warriors are playing ridiculously well as of late. But remember, this is the regular season. The regular season is like a kitty compared to the lion that is the western conference playoffs. I wouldn't want the Warriors to win, I'd rather the Bulls or Thunder do, but they are the most likely to win it, in my opinion.

warriors are having a great reg season, I have a hard time believing they come out of the west over the spurs though. Spurs just look primed to transform into a playoff behemoth. Finals 2015 is spurs cavs, 'Lebron vs Duncan IV'
