    For all the talk about Curry's greatness, Curry was a small small part of this win today. 6-15 for 19 points. Yeah, he makes it easier for the other players to score.

    But honestly, it was iggy, bogut and bigmouth bass that seal the victory.

    Any and everything Golden State has been talked and analyzed to death. Nice try though.

    Everyone talks about how the Warriors are elite offensively and defensively. It's why they are so good.

    Actually, most of what people talk about is how they have changed the game by making the two point shot irrelevant. Nobody talks about their defense. They might talk about how draymond green is the best center in the league, or how iggy was able to guard lebron.

    But let's be real, what the warriors are known for is the 3 point shot. Howver, in general, the good teams in the league are talking that away from the warriors pretty consistently. And when they do that, guess what, Curry becomes pretty inefficient player.

    It was good defense. But when you shoot 31% overall, and 5-30 on 3s, you also missed a lot of good looks.

    That was beyond atrocious.

    Everyone talks about their defense what are you talking about. They can lock down defensively in crunch time. That's what makes them so good. Nothing new about this. It was the same gameplan clev had in the finals.

    I'm not talking about it because I don't like the warriors. Sick of hearing about them 24/7 on tv, at work, at the rec league. There are other teams in the nba, f the warriors

    Not really. It was the Cavs that almost won with defense. Warriors barely held on to that win.

    Everyone talks about their defense and defensive versatility.
    It's half of why they're so good.

    Nothing in the entire world, I mean absolutely nothing, would make me happier than for what to become a full-fledged Warriors fan.

    Nobody wants to talk about something related to the Warriors? What reality are you living in? Can I come?

    I think I've heard almost the same amount of talk about Golden State's defense - as I have about their/Curry's offensive greatness.

    Not sure what you're on about here OP.

    Their defense isn't that great tbh. Their second unit especially gets lit up on a regular basis. Maybe it's because Walton is a crappy coach or maybe it's something else... not sure. I guess we'll see what happens when Kerr comes back.

    It seems you only follow idiots then, every person with the slightest knowledge of basketball has been praising their defense for two+ years now.
