    The OP says IF they win the championship. Some of you guys say they are beatable. Not really answering the OP. IF they are beaten and not win it all, of course they won't be one of the greatest team. Also, to say that MJ's teams were better doesn't say much. The OP does not claim that they are THE BEST ever, just one of the best.

    I think what the OP ignores is HOW they are going to win. If they dominate in every series here on out, then there shouldn't be any dispute that they are one of the best teams ever. Those who deny it will just be haters.

    So far, they had no trouble sweeping the Pelicans. They struggled a bit with Memphis, which some had anticipated as a bad match up for them.

    Yeah, but people always use playoffs performance to judge whether the MVP is worthy or not. Think Robinson and Olajuwon, 1995.

    More like Warriors are 8 wins away from being one of the weakest champions of all time. Whoever wins the title this year will be one of the weakest NBA Champions in history. Every team is just "okay". Not individual talent, really, but just the chemistry and coaching and quality of overall play is a joke. Low ball IQ everywhere, messy isolation's and turnovers. Reminds me of the NCAA tournament. I guess the league is in a little lull, after seeing the Spurs' dominance, Heat big 3, Celtics big 3 ect., and really high quality play the past several years. Everything just kind of sputtered out as legendary players got older and the new breed of softies took over. Clippers and Rockets are frauds (I love the Rockets but they aren't that great). Cavs have Love hurt and Kyrie hobbled and the Hawks are just role players all playing way over their heads. It's a bit of a down playoff year with a bunch of injuries and watered down fraud teams. Plus a team of soft jump shooters (Warriors) who could possibly take the crown. This is the perfect time for the Rockets to take advantage. I hope they can pull it off.

    If they dominate the rest of the way to the championship then yes. For now they are just 4 losses away from being a big chocking failure.

    Since Rose we had prime LeBron twice and prime Durant once. So you are saying that Curry's worse than prime LeBron and prime Durant. I guess, sure, ok, whatever.

    The Warriors would've been one of the most battled tested 67 win teams in history.

    Especially if they play the Hawks

    It's not supposed to be easy, but when you are 2 deep at every position and have guys who can guard a variety of positions, it's going to be hard to beat.

    I hope I'm wrong and the Rockets find a way to beat the Clips and Warriors, but Warriors just look ridiculously good.

    IMO,

    they got lucky by not playing the Spurs this year. This team is not as good as they're made out to be and I firmly believe that there are so many holes in their defense.

    We win game 7 tomorrow, and it's going to be a fight with the Cinderella Warriors.

    I'm so tired of the bandwagon Warrior fans. Like, do you know Baron Davis, Steph, Monta, JRich, Damp, Mullin, etc...?

    "No, but Steph Curry is better than MJ and LBJ!" (GS fan)

    No, son, so.


    Steph Curry is a great shooter, but he is not on the same level as James, LBJ, Melo, Nash, Dirk etc.

    He's had a great year.

    To the GS fans on here, please tell me about a guy named PJ and Spree.

    No? Didn't think so.

    SPlash Brothers have caused a new fandom of ______(I'll save the word for later)

    The Rockets would have smoked the Hawks in a second round series easily.
