    Will the Golden State Warriors even win a playoff series?

    Seeing alot of love for this team early on in the season and have even heard that their probably top 3 in the west preseason in terms of starting lineup with Lee-Bogut-Iguaola-Klay-Curry. Now even more love for them as the season progresses and sports commentators saying they have a chance to beat anyone in the West if Curry stays healthy. However looking at their lineup their bench is simply not as deep as it was last year and Landy and Jarret Jack are clearly missed. Its very difficult for a jump shooting team to win in today's game and even though the Mavericks when they beat Miami a few years back could be considered a jump shooting team their zone defense was the reason they were able to beat Miami. Only chance the Warriors have of winning a series is if they get home court in the first round and considering how loaded the West is this isn't too likely. As good as Golden State might be they will more than likely be bounced in the first round of the playoffs.

    Well this year yes a lot of teams are very even

    No real dominant team in the west

    Curry also the best guard in the NBA

    I thought you said Wall was the best guard in the NBA.

    Depends on matchups but I think this team is legit. I liked them with Jack and Landry coming off the bench though, and Iggy starting is kinda killing the growth of Harrison Barnes.

    if the guy covering iguodala on the inbound pass covers him again they will win the nba championship. that guy should get kicked off the team for leaving him on the inbound pass last night. it is incredible how fukking stupid these players are. i had no interest in the game, saw the highlight, and could not believe that actually happened. people wonder why the nba is so bad, the players have no clue what the word fundamental means. i don't even watch it anymore

    Bogut and Curry will probably be re injured by game 50. They've been mediocre at best with a full lineup, so my expectations are low

    Bench doesn't score and they turn the ball over too much. However, if they get a favorable matchup I can see them winning a playoff series.

    Probably now with the Chris Paul injury they sneak into the 3 spot though still could be a tough matchup

    It's really dependent on how they shoot. They are a team heavily reliant on having a good shooting night. They have a chance to go deep in playoffs if they stay healthy. Also Ezeli and jermaine oneal should come back later in the season for depth. Rumors they are trying to get Andre miller, curry needs a solid backup. They just won back to back nights vs heat and hawks and are clearly a different team with iggy in the lineup.

    If they played someone like Memphis they could win but they can never beat a team like the Thunder even with Westbrook out.

    lol the Warriors will definitely win a playoff series man..they are not that really dependent on hot shooting. Curry can dish the ball and they can play inside with Bogut and Lee.

    They can win a battle, but not a war. If Curry/Thompson happen to have a bad shooting streak, it is over, as they play no good defense.
