Are the Wariors legit contenders this year?

[ImKobe]

I expect them to get exposed in the POs

[Genaro]

This is 2014. 3s are a part of the game right now and jump shooting teams win championships

[Heavincent]

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

Again, potential first round exits.

Pretty damn good actually. Being a perennial playoff team in the West means you're very close to being a legit title contender. Warriors seem to have taken that step this year.

And again, your argument is factually incorrect anyway. http://www.teamrankings.com/nba/stat...paint-per-game

Jump shooting team my ass.

Live by the 3, die by the 3 fellas.

Bogut and Lee have been injured. That has a lot to do with it

Are you serious?

They nearly took a 2-0 going home against the Spurs in 2013 playoffs. This was after they upset the Nuggets. First time Steph and Klay were in the playoffs by the way.

They took the Clippers to 7 games without Bogut last season in a series that was heavily in favor of the Clippers due to the whole Sterling scandal.

They've actually overachieved last 2 seasons.

At the end of the day, they were/are first round exits. 2nd round is probable this year, and the WCF is their ceiling. NUFF SAID, boy.

Maybe so due to the super stacked Western Conference. Either way, the WCF winner will demolish the Bran and the Cavs in the Finals.

[DMV2]

And there's no excuse for the Cavs not to win the East.

[MMM]

saying GSW is a potential 1st round exit is not saying much. Everybody in the west is a potential first round exit, and i don't mean that in a anything can happen kind of way. GSW is one of 4 contenders in my view with Memphis, Dallas, and SAS.

If they even make it that far

reigning champion spurs will likely not have HCA this year. That's how stacked the West is right now.

[bdreason]

West is stacked. Going to come down to matchups and injuries in the Western Conference.

If this warriors squad is a jumpshooting team, then the last 4 rings were won by "jump shooting" teams who rely on the 3.
