    Last year, in the playoffs, they didn't have Bogut and we had Dwight fairly healthy, so at that point:

    Dwight, Parsons, etc. was close enough equal to
    last year's Klay, non factor Bogut, Iggy, David Lee.

    So you're right -- it wasn't a conversation topic so much last year.

    But this year, with the Warriors having amazing health, with Klay becoming an all-star, completely upping his game, Bogut staying healthy, and Green taking over for Lee and becoming a serious DPY candidate.... yeah, I think the Warriors surrounding Curry are much better than the Rockets surrounding Harden this year. I really do. I don't even think it's that close.

    Warriors going with the "don't miss" strategy. Seems to be effective.

    I don't think I've ever wanted to punch a player in the face more than Draymond Green.

    (of course, I'm sure I said this about Mitch Kupchak in the 80s, Dale Ellis in the 90s, and Jason Terry in the 00s. But I really mean it this time).

    Asik is killing the Pels on spacing just like Rondo did to the Mavs.

    There is no way any playoff team next year will start Asik as their center in the west.

    Missing Dmo against Clippers or Spurs will hurt, but not that much against GSW.

    TJ is much suited for the Rox to play against GSW than Dmo.

    I know it won't happen, but if Monty was smart, he wouldn't play Asik at all. When you've got a team that's superior record-wise as GSW, you've got nothing to lose by trying different stuff.
