Depends on Curry. He is the key. when he is having a season like this, the team is unstoppable. Think about it. They don't even have Klay back yet.
But that team has so much championship experience with their big 3 with a lot of depth and even youth they haven't used now so who knows?
But Curry has to be on. They don't crush teams like the Nets, etc, if Curry isn't going 9/14 from 3. He regularly has games like that.
If any team had a player who regularly got on fire on super high volume from 3 and was unstoppable, they are almost impossible to beat.
If Booker ever were to get to where he could go 7/10 from 3 often and average like 45% overall from there on the volume he shoots we would be unstoppable and he would get close to becoming a top 10 player, if not nudge into the top 10.
I am not scared of the Warriors at all.
I love Curry and he is for now this season's MVP, but I think their roster is not deep enough. I don't trust their bench and I think they have a BIG hole at C.
Until now (11W-2L) they are playing great BUT they have had an easy schedule IMO. They are gonna start losing games more frequently in the next few weeks.
Remember they don't have Klay either, though you may not expect him to be very good upon return. I think their depth is pretty good. Once Klay returns Poole comes off the bench, but Otto Porter is fairly solid, Iggy is a shell of himself but still a decent vet and then you have Damion Lee who has been playing well and Gary Payton II isn't great but his FG% is insane this year (like 68% and 81% from 2).
Wiseman should only get better throughout the year and same goes for Kuminga and Moses Moody. Maybe they don't do much but wouldn't be surprised if one or two of them do.
I've always thought Draymond Green was really underrated though and even Steph. Many say KD was the best player when he was there but he doesn't look like the best player unless Steph is there. Steph is a once in a lifetime type of high volume long distance shooter that can just be impossible to stop. If Klay comes back and shoots even close to 40% I think they will be very tough to beat.
We'd have to shoot really well. A lot of it comes down to math when teams take so many 3s at a high %. The fact they lead the league in rebounding and Wiseman hasn't even played yet is also pretty scary.
