    Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson are the dangerous duo in the NBA thanks to their super quick release shooting and makes Golden State tough to beat. There is no single team in the NBA that can stop GS and there is no single player that can stop Stephen or Klay. I think GS will win championship this year.

    #1 offense

    It's not how you start.

    It's how you finish.

    They made the tough call two years ago and are reaping the rewards. We as a franchise are now in that position, do we have the stomach to make the right call or will we flounder our chance?

    Green is averaging like 6-7 assists a game.

    Thought the warriors overpaid for him during the summer, but he's like their second best player now - does everything. If Curry is mj, then Green is Pippen.

    I love watching him play. The way they use him is pretty awesome. He sets a screen for curry, curry dishes it to him, he drives to the lane and either hits the open man for the 3 or an alley-oop to the center.

    He's hitting a ridiculous 42% from 3 this year. This is bound to go down, if not, OH my. He's a walking mismatch at PF.

    Then he can play Center if needed when they go small. Plays DPOY level defense at both the PF/C spots. The mismatch is even more magnified when he plays C. What makes that lineup work is Barnes can legit cover bigger PFs. 6'8 230 and strong, not a small dude. They're paying that guy next year no doubt.

    Green was their second best player last year, and just got better.

    They're so good because they drafted two great whole court shooters, who are mobile and 2-way capable. Thats pretty much the ideal player times two.. They could only be more ideal, if they were taller. Very rare occurrence, so they get rare results. Having one, would be great enough, like Harden as a pure shooter who tried on D. Sura would falls in faint.

    If Curry was built like Russell Westbrook, he would be the next MJ, but then he probably wouldn't have learned to shoot like that using that type of athleticism.
