    You said the West is weak. What does that make the East since they were dominated?

    You are stating the obvious. What people don't want to admit is that the West is weak as well IN RELATION TO COMPETING WITH THE WARRIORS.

    It's been a one team league for a long time now.

    I do believe however that Raptors and Bucks are > The Blazers.

    There are 2 great teams: GSW, HOU

    Utah comes next.


    Rest is trash. Honestly. No factors. A peaky OKC is relevant, but no one else.

    I will concede Warriors had luck on their side that year with other teams having injuries.

    2016

    7 game series against OKC they easily could have lost. I think that counts as resistance.

    They didn't sweep anyone that year.

    They lost the Finals with a hobbled Curry and suspended Green.

    2017

    They lost only 1 game in the postseason. They got no resistance from anyone.
    uhh What is this Backwards Day?

    2015: first off the series went 6 games. Secondly, LeBron was without his number two and number three option and still stretched it to six games.

    2016: you're an idiot for even trying to bring this one up this is only playoff series they've lost in five years so don't be a complete retard.

    2017: 12-0 verse Western teams.

    Western teams played 12 games with 0 wins. The East got one win after 3 games. Not sure how much more explaining this needs?

    You are going to have to define what you mean by "resistance".

    Is a 5 game series considered resistance? 6 games? 7 games?

    It seems like you have different criteria for teams in the East vs West. You count a 5 game series as resistance when facing the East but a 6 or 7 game series against the West doesn't count as resistance.

    Looks a bit inconsistent.

    That doesn't mean the West is weak. It just means the Warriors are great and I agree.

    Jesus, really?

    Did the Warriors face more resistance from the west or the east in the following three years:

    2015, 2016, 2017

    Yes of course we both know the answer but you're just trolling

    Maybe I should step aside and let you argue with yourself.

    the only time a bunch of KNOWN weak teams won a conference and got crushed in the Finals was when AI, Kidd, Lebron, and Dwight made the Finals with weak teams between 2001-2009 and got destroyed in the Finals..

    There's never been another time where a bunch of teams that everyone knew were weak, made the Finals and got smashed (confirming their weakness and the conference's)

    But even though a strong team wasn't needed to make the Finals, lebron's couldn't make it in 09 and 10', and stacked the deck from 11-18' to ensure Finals runs in the weak conference... Now that he's gone, we're back to non-star teams winning the East as Kawhi and Giannis don't have any superstar teammates like lebron had the last 8 years
