    Besides JaVale Mcgee do the Warriors have any other rim protectors because if not every team is gonna have a field day in the paint.

    Barkley is right. You can never argue with someone who has never won a championship about championship teams.

    Hats off to Sir Chuck

    I predict that the warriors are not gonna win the championship if they lose in the finals.

    they'll be plague by the same issue Miami had the first year LeBron/Wade/Bosh had which was who will take over at crunch time. Of course they'll figure that out but would it be too late? If anything I see them losing this year and winning it all next year after they gel.

    any team with steven curry can't win a championship. they only reason they "won" the 2015 championship is because EVERY team they played had MULTIPLE injured STARTERS. steven curry is a cancer and a fraud. He's the worst player in nba history. Who is steven curry without his chucking up 3's off of only illegal screens? I don't even think he could make 100 3's if it wasn't for illegal screens.

    Barkley gives the same cliché reason he did over the years: jump shooting teams don't win. If the Warriors don't win, it won't be because they are a jump shooting team.

    So even if Barkley is right, he is wrong.

    Durant is definitely a little b**** so I can see him choking away a series like he did last year. This is the same guy who wanted people to call him "The Servant" SMH.

    Houston Rockets 2016 Champs.
    LeBron is getting old. The NBA needs a new superstar to carry the title of Superstar. Harden will win MVP this year.

    WeakSauce Curry is definitely not winning it 3 times in a row.

    Russell, his team is not gonna be as good as Rockets.

    Rockets fit the script. James Harden, gets shafted the previous year. Everyone hates on him initially but when Dantoni and the Rockets start surprising people early in the season, then the NBA is gonna push the story of how harden worked really hard in the summer and was finally able to be a leader once Howard left.

    Harden drops filthy numbers all season.

    Then Rockets play Warriors, and thats when the narrative is set for Rockets Warriors rivalry.
    - Montrez shows Green who's the really "bout that life," and out shines Green at his own job.


    Rockets vs Warriors WCF 2017.
    - Rocketso out rebound the hell outta the Warriors and heads to finals to face LeBron.

    Rockets vs Cavs 2017 NBA Finals.

    He does all this for entertainment, he doesn't even believe what he's saying. Or he's an idiot.

    It's a lot easier to pick losers than winners. The league has a half-dozen real contenders. Even if Warriors are favored, they still probably have something less than 50% chance of winning. So, a lot easier to say the Warriors will lose than that someone will win. If he's proven right, I still give him no credit.

    CB still hasn't accepted that back to the basket basketball isn't good enough to win titles anymore. Not in this current era. It's a perimeter oriented game now. Teams go as far as those players take you

    If Barkley says no, then the coffin is sealed.
    Warriors will take the title...

    You may not need a super post-playing Olajuwon, but having a glass-cleaning clean-up Otis Thorpe never hurts.

    you need garbage men that can get you an easy bucket from time to time yes, who are capable of finishing at least at an solid rate when they're around the basket but as far as pure post play, that is non-existent in this era and is not essential to winning a ship.

    His "shooting jumpers" claim is just tiresome now

    Agreed on the post play, and I think his prediction is crazy, I just meant that you could say they're a jump shooting team because they have minimal presence of any kind in the front court. I count Green as a jump shot guy.

    Pachulia - Varejao(?) - McGee (?)
    Green - West - McGee (?)

    That's a pretty imbalanced front-court on a normal 2016 NBA team, much less one with three of the best shooters in the NBA roaming around.

    wrd. last year they had bogut who played the garbage man because he was indeed a pretty capable finisher around the basket. But now you replace him basically with another perimeter player who happens to be one of the top players in the league at 6'10. So now it's pretty much about compensating for what they really lost in bogut and becoming even stronger than what they already were on the perimeter before they got KD.
