    Their whole offense is based on jacking up threes. And if you overcommit, they will just drive by. They've changed the game for the worse. After seeing the style of play in the 90: and 00s, this isn't even fun to watch anymore

    The Dubs that beat dallas did the same thing, but they didn't get as far as this team.

    I disagree, they are pretty fun to watch.
    I'm sure people hated Wilt too.

    Well they hated Wilt for a different reason.

    Isn't this essentially what the Rockets have been trying to do the last few years?

    They ruined it by using a different set of rules than the rest of the league. I'm tuning out of this Finals.

    Couldn't agree more. I commend the Warriors for exploiting this style to be successful, but it's very boring to watch

    I love how they play. Better brand of basketball, aesthetically, than the isolation-heavy stuff from OKC.

    Its sad how so many fans let jealousy get in the way of enjoying a great, great basketball team.

    I am not a huge Warriors fan, but the Warriors are just very good at shooting. I am not sure how that is exploitation. It's kind of the key skill in basketball.

    Yeah I miss those Knicks/heat playoff games from 1999 where games were 78-73

    To be honest, the 2014 Spurs were a much better "brand of basketball" if you're a purist. These Warriors have good player and ball movement, but they rely too heavily on Klay and Steph making ridiculous jumpers. (not to mention loads of moving screens)The Spurs were less talented, and had to rely purely on a motion offense.

    Draymond's wrestling moves are BS, however. That stuff is ridiculous.

    Lol what's fun to watch? Hero ball? Watching a player hold the ball for 16 seconds and watch him try to make a play? At the very least, the Warriors actually do move the ball around.

    The shots they make are crazy, but they do get away with a lot of moving screens and holds as well as dirty play by Green and Bogut inside. If they did this clean, I'd find it more enjoyable to watch.

    Warriors are the ideal team outside of Draymond Green.
