They are the two best teams in the west right now, and I am not sure which team is better. The Blazers just beat the best team in the East, the Toronto Raptors, who have been balling all season long. They are 15-2 at home. They are 9-1 in their last 10 games with their only loss coming in Houston without Aldridge and Lopez. Kaman has been great off the bench for them. He is hands down the best backup center in the league. They are just too big down low, even when they go to their bench. They also won against: Spoiler SA (blowout) @ SA (blowout) @ NOH @ OKC (blowout) NOH (blowout) @CHI DAL (blowout) CLE (blowout) OKC (blowout) The Warriors went on a 16 game winning streak this season. They are 12-1 at home. They are shooting video game percentages from the field. They have the best backcourt in the league. They are deep and stacked at every position. Even without Bogut they are still winning games. Steve Kerr is the perfect coach for this team and he has really proven himself as an NBA head coach. They are second in assists in the league. They won: Spoiler @ NOH (blowout) OKC (blowout) @ DAL HOU @ CHI NOH (blowout) @ MIA (blowout) @OKC @HOU LAC (blowout) @POR by 5 The question is, which team is better? The Warriors have more playoff experience, but I don't think David Lee can guard LaMarcus Aldridge. Both teams play defense, but I think the Blazers win simply because they rebound so well and they take care of the ball. They really know how to maximize their possessions. The highest point differentials in the league: 1) Warriors +9.8 2) Raptors +8 3) Blazers +7.5 The top 3 teams in DEF EFF: 1) Golden State (4th in offense) 2) Houston (19th in offense) 3) Portland (9th in offense)
