Heat have Bosh on the roster. He would have enabled them to go small against Green. That neutralizes the death lineup a little.

Wait, by "Miami LeBron" are we referring to LeBron as a singular player, or to those LeBron-led Miami teams?

That's actually a good question. I was under the belief that we were talking about the Heat squad led by James.

There plenty of reasons why the Heat wouldn't beat these Warriors, but I don't really know losing to the Mavs and Spurs is one of them.

My point is that this Warriors team is better than the Mavs team that beat LBJ's Heat team and maybe that Spurs team too, so it's not unreasonable to think they could beat that Heat team.


I think the 2 best teams of the last decade (from 2 different franchises) are the 2014 Spurs or 2017 Warriors. Who you got in that matchup?

Gotta take that **** to NBA 2K bruh and find out the troof. :lol:

He also somehow looks older in this picture:

I don't think Lue is that devastated by this loss.

Neither team beat the team I'm assuming the thread is talking about (even though it sounded like he meant Miami LeBron on the current Cavs).

Even then, Spurs had Leonard, who was crucial in slowing down LeBron. Mavericks had Dirk, also one of a kind. Warriors are built a bit different than those.



Warriors have Draymond a top 1 DPOTY candidate, Iggy of 4-5 years ago would slow down Heat Lebron, Curry is the only kind, Warriors of the previous two years had Bogut and can protect the paint. Current Warriors have extra fire power with Durant and a better bench than those Heat teams.

0 chance. The current Warriors are like an upgraded version of the 2014 Spurs. The Warriors take all the concepts that made the Spurs successful and apply them with multiple superstar level players instead of mostly washed up veterans.

Yeah, he's not worried about it. We're still 1-4 in the last 5 games against Cleveland.

No. Irving's ability to collapse the defense and hit the outside shot has an immeasurable impact. Love and Tristan's impact can't be replicated either on the boards. Those heat teams would lose to these Cavs and the warriors. The perimeter defense on the heatles was suffocating however..

I doubt it. Wade would've to be a much better 3 pointer shooter to beat this warriors team.

Would he flop blatantly to draw a flagrant on Draymond?
