    Beat Charlotte Twice
    Beat the Lakers
    Beat Utah
    Beat OKC without Westbrook/KD
    Beat the Heat
    Beat Orlando
    Beat the Pistons
    Beat the Magic again (struggled to win even though they were without Vucevic)
    Beat the Pelicans who aren't very good
    Beat the Bulls (legit win)
    Beat the Twolves

    So out of the streak the only REAL team they played were the Bulls...lmao

    The Pelicans are a solid team. They beat the Bulls in Chicago.

    Generally win streaks happen because you're playing a soft schedule.

    No one is saying the Warriors are gonna win 75 games which is the pace they're on for right now. But even against bad teams you can usually have let down games (see Rockets vs Lakers).

    Dominance over bad teams has historically been the best way to see who's good.

    Last year the Spurs SUCKED against good teams for most of the season. Think they turned out just fine.

    Pelicans are NOT solid. AD is the only reason that team is relevant.

    The Rockets were without Dwight vs the Lakers...bad loss but missing a key player...Won all the other games they were suppose to win when healthy.

    I am not saying the Warriors are a bad team or that they don't have a chance to come out of the West but at this point they are being overrated.

    Id take the Spurs, Rockets and Thunder over the Warriors. Best thing is how much the Rockets are being ignored....only 3 games behind the #1 seed with all these injuries.

    Pelicans just beat the Cavs without Anthony Davis. They aren't that bad. In the East they would probably be like the 5 seed or something.

    In terms of performance right now I would say the Warriors are the best team this year. The Western Conference is insane. EVERYONE is saying that. Nobody is anointing the Warriors as a lock to win the championship. But to say they haven't looked like the best team in the NBA is pretty insane.

    The Warriors are a legit title contender along with the Spurs and probably Thunder. Rockets if healthy are probably there too.

    But an even bet, I'm probably riding with the Warriors at this point. The re-integration of David Lee will be interesting though.

    David Lee is their worst defender. It will be interesting indeed to see what they do with him...if he starts over Green the Warriors will goof. If he takes minutes from Speights they might also goof unless they play them together which wouldn't be very smart.

    They weren't that scary either the first time we played them with 3 starters out and they had Bogut playing.

    LOL Salty. You keep saying Rockets lost to the Warriors because Howard wasn't playing. But Rockets were able to beat Grizzlies without Howard and lost to Grizzlies with Howard playing. Rockets beat Dallas without Howard, so next time when the Rockets(with Howard) play Dallas, Rockets will definitely crush Dallas right? :rolleyes: It doesn't work that way lol. Also Rockets are 5-0 against the Spurs but are 0-5 against the Clippers last 5 meetings, it doesn't mean Clippers are better than the Spurs.

    I'm not saying Warriors are the best team but they are playing the best basketball and have the best record. Warriors may not even have the best record in the West when the season is over. But right now they are hot and on a streak. Credit to the Warriors. Its so funny these salty fans keep hating.

    Geez! Philly blowing out Memphis. And the Clips may lose too. This could be a very good weekend for the Rockets.

    So to summarize your post the Rockets are beating legit west teams (with injuries) and the warriors are beating scrub teams.

    lmao
