We had two lineup play with each other for long periods of times all year long which happened when curry was out. The warriors have a very specific case and I find it very unlikely that the bucks situation is similar. If it was y'all would be struggling right now as well, especially when you take into account how it happened and the timing of it. Maybe I'm wrong but y'all's winning streaks all year long paint a different picture. Even lineups changed it wasn't that drastic or y'all had the chance to adapt to changes with us it was back to back to back. If I'm wrong let me know

Remember who their coach is and who he was under, this is the Spurs approach. At this point they don't care nothing about the season they coast and when they need to go on a win streak to play out of body until they're able to coast again. To a team like this and players like this all they care about is the championship, they're just trying to make sure everyone is healthy going into the playoff. They're not winning on the road but they figure at best with gp2 and Wiggins they would at least be able to split the road games and more than likely win the home games.

The fact their road record is equal to the Pistons but they are still a 6th seed honestly shows how good they still are. Especially when you look at home record when compared. Even if this isn't some big brain deception, the playoffs are 7 games, 2,2,1,1,1 that's bare minimum 3 wins for GS every series if this were to keep up. And 4 wins if they have better seeding, because of how open the West is I wouldn't be surprised to see an upset where maybe a 7 seed beats a 2 seed or something of the sort which if the Warriors beat whoever they face that sets them up great. Worse than last year or not, the stats show at the very least there is no team in the West that'll sweep them

[@colinchesbrough5772]

They definitely have the ability to turn it up. The problem is, that's not quite how it works. You can clearly see that every year, the NBA champions are a well oiled machine during the regular season. You have to be in the zone going into the post season, because turning it on for a game is one thing. Doing it over the course of several series is a whole different challenge.

Don't want to break the optimistic bubble for GSW but it will no doubt take some games for Wigs and GP2 to gel with the others if and when they get back. Watching through the games where they have lost, GSW's own worst enemy appears to be GSW. TO's, giving away too many OREB's, going away from what had them winning the game. Sheeeshhhhh guys. They could have won against the Hawks but rather than keep going inside which helped them the whole game, they kept trying 3's when they were misfiring. Tick tock, the clock runs out eventually.

[@ferny5109]

My problem with this video is that it assumes that the warriors are suddenly gonna turn it on as soon as the playoffs start, but if it would start today, they would still be at a massive disadvantage due to having no home court advantage which would likely lead to an early round exit due to how horrible they play on the road. I know you used examples of them playing amazing at home, but thats the problem. The are only good AT HOME. Now sure if they go win the chip at the end, I will take the L here. But I'm honestly sick and tired of the blind faith people have towards the warriors. Also even if Wiggins and gp2 come back, that doesn't magically fix all of their problems.

But they're not the only team doing that, and a lot has to click for them to be better than last year.
