In those last 3 games, once GS hit them with a run, the game was over. That's folding. Houston was down 16 Thurs night, and they came back. If that had happened to Memphis, in those last 3 games, you KNEW the game was over. Heck, Memphis couldn't come back from 9 down. They looked beat. They folded. Did GS have something to with that? I guess. Houston rallied, Memphis didn't/couldn't, as I said after the series was 2-1 Grizz.
To be fair, Houston's offense is much more capable of coming back than Memphis' plodding offense.
3. Cleveland - GSW, I think, could be epic. So many contrasts but both sides are hungry.
Epic how? I hope you're right but after facing and beating teams with top notch perimeter defenders like Conley, Allen and now Ariza and one of the best front courts in the league with Gasol and Randolph and now a very good one with Howard and Smith, the defense from guys like Mozgov, Thompson, and JR Smith isn't going to strike any fear. Thats like a vacation compared to their prior competition. Not to mention Celeveland's sub par team defense. How many open shots have Hawks shooters got? A ton, they just can't knock them down. Cavs will be run out of the gym leaving Warriors shooters anywhere close to that open.
Not really. All you need is LeBron in a pathetic eastern conference. Lets see him come out west and play with the big boys. He's a coward. Real easy to make the finals when your biggest competition is...Joakim Noah and Demarre Carroll LOL
Not to mention, everyone acts like it is easy to get the Finals every year. I don't care what the competition is, it isn't easy regardless.
To be the best you have to beat the best. The eastern conference is nothing close to real competition. Look at the playoff teams. The Nets, Celtics, Bucks, Wizards, Raptors...LOL. The #8 seed in the west Pelicans would have swept any of them. Eastern conference is a joke.
Indeed, this is what makes GS so special. They have a great margin of error, and sometimes luck on their side (mostly margin of error thanks to the kaotic, in your face offense and at times stifling defense).
The Golden State Warriors will keep playing this way. They got this far, this historically great, because of what they have done and not change to what people think they have to do. So the margin of error remains high, the highest of any team this season and one of the most fascinating teams in recent history. Just don't expect them to always take advantage of it because it usually means a perfect game is played. It hasn't happened yet. And that's not so much a bad thing than tangible proof as to the dominance of the 2014-2015 Golden State Warriors.
