    Wow, he has put together quite a team with Golden State. Mr Laker continues to increase his legend. Their entire team can shoot and pass, and will be a major contender for a title this year if they stay healthy.

    Even though it's the Warriors, props to the Laker's legend Jerry West.

    They are not winning anything, though I get your point.

    Unless Curry and Klay become Jordan and Pippen, there is simply no way to cover for various deficiencies of their C/PF rotation.

    Lee/Bogut is one of the top PF/C starters.. Mareese Speights is a great backup. Festus Ezeli brings lots of energy. Most of their scoring comes from their guards/wings anyways, but Speights can fill it in. I think the Warriors have a huge shot at it this year. Health is a concern, and also Harrison Barnes is a wild card.

    Yeah I agree, sirronstuff! Don't know if they have enough to win it all, with health, but a real nice team.

    Warriors need more points at the rim/FT attempts to be a credible contender ... you can't win a title just with the outside shot

    false. they could play every night against the lakers' front line.

    I hope sirron is right, and that gs is just super badass. I fear that they're still a 5/6 seed, and the lakers are just not very good at all. I think at minimum, there are three better teams in the west than gs. and there could be up to 6 or 7, depending upon how dallas, Houston, and Memphis look this year.

    I think that's true, but they are one or two pieces away IMO, and they have plenty of trade bait at nearly every position to get that last piece or two.

    I'd say they are closer than the Clippers.

    With Durant hurt, they're now my favorites in the West. The combination of Curry/Thompson outside is just out of this world. Their problem will be the same as any team who relies on outside shooting: when those aren't falling, what do you do?

    It'll be interesting, but I see them coming out of the West if they stay healthy. They're just too difficult to guard.
