    Edit: What tehglide said.

    If the Warriors don't make the NBA Finals, let alone win it, it'll be a mild upset.

    Far and away best team in the league
    MVP of the league
    Star in Thompson
    Depth galore
    Star coaching staff

    How about Beard making PJ Tucker touch earth on a buzzer-beating game-winner? Which one's more impressive?

    Yeah, for a team that won 23 games three seasons ago, they've come on pretty quickly here.

    They have 4 playoff appearances since 1994.

    2013-14: L First Round
    2012-13: L Conference Semifinals
    (2011-12: Won 23 games)
    2006-07: L Conference Semifinals

    ...then you have to go all the way back to 1993-94 for their last playoff appearance

    1993-94: L First round

    Honestly depends what happens with Draymond. He's truly special for them, and he'd be a big loss for them. Either way the Warriors will be elite for a while.

    The Warriors are a great team no doubt and they deserve credit. I also believe they have benefited from sooo many key injuries in the West this year while staying very healthy. If other contenders out West would have stayed as healthy as the Warriors did this year, they would have not run away with the West and looked like such and overwhelming favorite.

    More impressive: Curry on CP3
    More important: Harden on Tucker

    Harden on Tucker is a close second, though.

    Shots going in after breaking someone's ankles are just icing on the cake.

    I'd rather embarrass LeBron and miss the shot than embarrass Wesley Matthews and make it.

    I wish someone would photoshop Superman or Thor touching down between Curry and Paul, as both players look like they were blown back by the recoil of some invisible thing between them lol

    Speights has been killing it. Cp3 purposely getting in front of Speights for a foul was bul****.

    Their lack of experience will be the factor if they don't win it all. Usually teams build up their playoff resume. I won't be surprised if they go far this year and lose, and come back to win it next year.

    To me their is not highlight if they miss the shot. Harden broke Lebron's ankles but he missed the shot after so no one really made a deal of it.

    Fire Kerr

    It's just my opinion. Just because "destruction + made shot" gets shown in the highlight reel after the game doesn't mean it was better than "destruction + missed shot," even though the former would be more fitting for a reel.

    Talking about this? He got fouled, so...meh.

    Really hoping the Pistons offer him the max and he signs there. SVG has made it known he's gunning for him in the offseason. Green grew up in Michigan, went to high school and played college there.

    Wouldn't that be another Josh Smith scenario, though? Drummond / Monroe / Smith didn't really work - I don't really think Green would fit in either.

    Word for word description of OKC after losing to the Heat. Let's hope GSW doesn't trade away a key member of the core to save money.

    Draymond Green is wearing a gold chain and a gold broach. It make me think about my life decisions and where I went wrong.
