Are the Wariors legit contenders this year?

[ekosky]

They're too jumpshot heavy... Too reliant on 3's and you can always expect one of either Bogut or Lee to be injured. Not sold on these guys yet at all...

WCF at most... most likely a 2nd round exit. Maybe even a 1st rd exit if they play the thunder in the first rd.

Except they're not. They still blow teams out even when the 3 ball isn't falling.

Also, they're near the top of the league in points in the paint.

Meaning that their two best players shoot the 3 too much. Way too much. and that'll forever be their downfall for the next few years.

Keep chucking, Steph!

:yawn:

What an old fashioned mindset. You're probably in that Charlotte Hornets or Lakers mindset that shooting 3's is overrated.

The future is here, the Warriors are contenders. Deal with it.

They're the best scoring duo in the league this year, and both of them are very efficient, so I think their shot selection is just fine.

Also, Warriors are near the top of the league in PIP. Funny how you didn't respond to that part.

If Bogut is 100% in the playoffs, they'll win it all.

[Heavincent]

#1 in FG%

#5 in OffRtg

#2 in eFG%

#2 in TS%

#4 in PIP

They shoot too many 3's tho...

Well good luck with that one...

They shoot too many 3's doe...

But they do shoot too many 3's doe...

[DMV2]

Well good luck with that one...

Which is a shame...really.

Why respond to an obvious alt? I mean, his ****ing title says lemvp. He is lebronxrings/dubeta/jt/one of them for sure.

Why ?

[Heavincent]

Their record and literally every statistic says otherwise.

But they do shoot too many 3's doe...

Last 4 NBA champions relied a lot on 3's.

2014 - Spurs shot lights out.
2013 - Heat and Spurs traded 2 or 3 games on 3-pointers.
2012 - Battier and Miller made the difference.
2011 - Mavs shot lights out against the West.

Ball movement, defense all were important too. But the 3-point ball really made a difference for all 4 of those championship teams.

The "you rely too heavily on 3's" argument falls apart when it's Thompson and Curry.

Yeah, and how has that worked out for them the past 2-3 years?

Again, potential first round exits.
