Isn't the score 3-1? I'd hardly call that barely beating them. The Clippers are a very good team and they'd probably beat the Warriors if they had Kawai- let alone Paul George.

The Warriors aren't as good as last year, even with Wiggins back. They've gotta get through the Kings, Denver and the Suns- all without home court.

The Ace up their sleeve is obviously Curry, but this is a monumental task for him to carry them all the way again.

Hope my opinion doesn't hurt your feelings too much.

I suspect the poster doesn't mean 3-1. It's the fact that a broken clippers team has made a game of it in 2 of the 3 losses. Not many teams can compete if they lose their 2 best players


I mean the score is 3-1 ultimately for the Suns. We arent going to remember it as a tough series if it goes 4-1 regardless.
We can also say the Warriors are lucky to have tied the series being down 2-0 to a first time playoff team who's best players are Fox and Sabonis with Malik Monk and Keegan Murray as absolutely crucial players...not exactly a juggernaught. They have Alex Len and Trey Lyles as part of their 8/9 man rotation.

Does anyone believe the Warriors are anywhere near as good as last year?
One day Marcus Smart will be defensive player of the year, mark my words.

They might not even win anything else. You don't trade that core. That shows 0 loyalty and will make any superstar not wanna play there.

We’re probably not going to trade then. Draymond & Klay will probably walk in free agency and sign max deals with some other dumb franchise though, and we will shake their hands and say thank you for your service.

It seems on it's last legs. The way they played in the final minute yesterday was pretty wild for a 4 time champion and they are very very fortunate not to be down 3-1.

I mean, yea, they arent getting any younger. The way I see it, steph, klay, and draymond are all still playing at a high level. Do we expect a steep decline for at least one of these guys in the near future? Sure, of course we do, but until that happens, they shouldnt be counted out.

They still have a recipe for success: Versatile, high level defenders at every position, elite floor spacers, and tons of experience.

Len, Monk, Lyles, Mitchell and one of Barnes or Murray should be a pretty easy separation period for the Warriors and they just aren't doing it.

Hard to see them touching the Suns if they did get to the WCF/WCSF.
The suns who can barely beat the Westbrook led clippers?

As a Celtics fan I'd love to have another shot at them in the finals for revenge, but their road theough to the finals is much tougher.
Lol my feelings aren't hurt I'm just asking you to watch the games. Clippers are down their best players and still in every game. You somehow think the suns are impressive.

Then again you're a Boston fan so says it all

I said it after the first 2 losses...
take it lightly that until it loses at home, GSW is the favorite in the West

Does anybody doubt they could get there before this season is over? The talent is there and Klay is healthier. When they win game 6, I expect them to cruise past second round to get back to ECF.

A straightforward anger release like this does make one feel good (and look bad too but I know u don't care).

A more calculated attack with substance trashing the GSW org would be more effective, you think?

Warriors really struggle when they don’t stack the deck with mvps or have the refs in their pockets.
