The Warriors aren't even a threatening offensive team - yet somehow it's because Steph Curry is much better. Did he become Mutumbo this year?


Warriors aren't a threatening offensive team and yet nobody has found a way to stop them yet

Give me a break


They have a 110 ortg in this series that's pretty bad, same against Memphis. They've been +4 in the playoffs overall which is pretty good but it's a very far cry from 2017 where they were +8 despite almost every game being a blowout.


I guess they aren't as good as the greatest team of all time

i think your logic here is too much "more team succes = better player"

do you, in all honesty, thinl curry improved so much to takr the warriors from 8 seed to probable champions even though all his statistics went down?

What the heck do you mean? Teams have found a way to stop them which is why they're not threatening.

You guys know that when a team wins a basketball game it isn't just because their offense is unstoppable, right? They haven't been all that great in the playoffs at all on offense, and how on earth are they ranked 17th overall in offense but 1st in defense?

Don't be a homer.

Uh-oh, Jaylen "Ricky Davis" Brown having his timely third-quarter morph into prime D-Wade with a 3-point shot.

Exactly the story of this series is how great the Warriors D is. In the regular season, their O was average. In the post-season their offense vacillates between good to below average.

Their D on the other hand is what is getting them a title.

God Mark Jackson is such a terrible commentator. He defended taking Tatum out on the grounds you don't want him to pick up his 4th going into the 4th.

He averages 2.3 fouls per 36. What are you scared of?

Who's been a clearly above average offense in the playoffs?

If the Warriors have ranged from good to below average on O, it follows there must be teams (multiple) that have been better on O in the playoffs - who are they?

Cause if there isn't anyone who's been better (multiple really), your description isn't accurate.

Really didn’t want to be seeing the Warriors win again but damn. Credit to their org for being so well run, very impressive how they’ve reloaded.

Wiggins should be in consideration for the Bill Russell award considering his dynamite defense on Boston's best offensive player.

Since when do we compare teams to a limited sample of only their contemporaries? From a historical perspective these Warriors aren’t anything special offensively. Not sure where the confusion is coming from.

Smart has been pretty bad too tonight, especially defensively. Mentally just completely out of it.
