That 80's team would have no idea what to do against a team that shoots 40 threes and some nights makes half of them Different game and the Lakers have more weapons. 4 guys that can get you 20 plus possibly the best low post center ever. They win in no more than 5 games. Lakers don't have more weapons. The Warriors also have four guys who can get you 20 plus the best shooter ever. Draymond Green getting 20? Career avg of about 12. The Lakers Green was comparable to him. The Lakers has 2 of the top 10 players in history on their team. Match that if you can. Look at the Warriors roster and look what the Warriors are doing to other teams this year. It does match that. And yes, draymond can easily score 20. This is where I remind you of game 7 last year once again long time guy wrote: Can but he has never avg anything close to it. The Lakers had 4 to 5 guys that avg 20 at various points of their career. I'd bet that A.C.s numbers are closer to Draemond and no one ever thought that much of A.C. Durant isn't top 30 and Curry isn't top 50 all time. Let's not forget about the bench. The Lakers bench was much better. |

I wouldn't say much better. I'll put Iguodala up against any bench player from any of those teams |

I think the Showtime teams would have had too much depth due to the difference in salary structure. In a 7-game series, they'd wear the Warriors out. Lakers in seven. |

If anyone wants to know why Teams like the Lakers would have murdered Golden State here's why. More scoring options. They wouldn't be able to hide Curry or even Green. No way you put Draemond Green on Kareem and get away with it. Byron Scott is a better player and scorer than J.R. Smith. Even A.C. could step out and knock a shot down. Modern NBA you typically have only 2 dominant scorers and the rest tend to be role players. Good teams of yesteryear had 3 great teams would have 4-5. Guys like Thompson and Smith would be bench players. 8-9th men at that. No way in hell would they start on an NBA finals team. |

"Klay Thompson would be a bench player if he played in the 80's" is a really terrible thought. |

Tristan would back up Klay's father, who was a backup himself. Much better player than Tristan though. |

That 80's team would have no idea what to do against a team that shoots 40 threes and some nights makes half of them Yes. Three point shooting then was only done if you were open.. Today its more a part of the game than the post up. Today, threes are shot on a fast break. Today guys pass on a short jumper and dribble backwards to shoot a three with a man in their face. Warriors do this better by far than any team. And they are unselfish. They move the ball. Once you get tired of getting burned by threes and over play on defense, they pump fake and drive or they cut back door and make the pass. As long as they make threes like they do, they will win 65 games a year. Its like playing against the wishbone or run and shoot. You cant practice against because theres no way to simulate. Cavs won one game playing way over their heads and playing Golden States style. Warriors would have won nine out of ten if they had to. You could argue Lakers or Bulls before this year but the Durant Warriors are the best. IMO anyway. But Im not happy about it. |

If only someone had told all the teams chasing the Bulls to just shoot a lot of three pointers. |
