    You obviously have to play defense also

    The only thing I think you could fairly say is it is a little monotonous. A little.
    But it's certainly better than iso ball or grind it out defensive battles.

    Even with all that the Thunder beat themselves... As they always do.

    If they could pixelate Draymond Green's face they would be less awful to watch.

    No. There's a difference between that era vs. the Warriors. It's not like you can't have an in-between lol

    I fail to comprehend how this is is even slightly boring for anyone to watch. They move the ball around and can light it up in any given moment. I'd much rather watch them collectively rain threes than watch Harden or Westbrook play hero ball and ruin their team's chances of winning

    Idk, I think quick threes that look ungodly almost feel ungodly to the fans. While realistically I realize that their shooting took constant hours of preparation..it just feels lucky

    They are a result of NBA rules.

    I disagree. Constant motion, sophisticated sets, outside shooting, slashing to the rim and great passing is a lot of fun to watch. The Warriors are the team I wish we were.

    How is that the Warrior's fault? Basically just good basketball, given current rules. I'm not a fan of it either, but it's not like they're doing something new. Just better than anyone else, and yes, more focused on 3's...but who wouldn't, if they could? 3>2, etc.

    They have two of the best shooters in the game and they were on fire the last two games.

    They came back from 3-1 down.

    OKC shot 10 of 50 from the 3pt line the last two games.

    Deal with it.

    I disagree...would much rather watch a good defensive matchup. But while a realize I'm in the minority, which do you prefer watching:

    A made 3, or a blocked 3 point attempt?
    A slam dunk, or a blocked dunk?
    Wide open shooters missing shots, or well defended shooters making shots?

    I think many say the latter on all three....and all of those are defense, not offense.

    End of game 6, yes. Game 7? I certainly didn't see it that way. OKC didn't lose that game, GSW won it.

    No offense bro but a true fan of any team doesn't enjoy watching any other team win but his own. I sometimes question other people's loyalty on this forum when they defend gsw it's really annoying.

    I hated Shaq, just because he was physically superior.

    I hate the Warriors because they are getting too full of themselves and most of all because they aren't the Rockets.

    It's some other team vs another team. Question his loyalty if he picked any other team over the Rockets. Smh

    Don't hate man. That needs to be us doing that. And if that was us doing that, you would be having the time of your life right now.

    Definitely agree with this. That team was a marvel to watch.

    This x1000!

    I loved the 2007 warriors and was a huge fan of run TMC, but damn the 2014 and 2015 warriors are just a joy to watch.

    They are like a mix of the incredible team synergy that is the 2013 Spurs, along with the singular individual greatness of its star player (ie... Lebron in 12, Dirk in 10, Duncan in 07, Shaq in the early aughts etc etc)
