2015-2016 NBA Discussion Thread

Who would you say these teams are?

Aside from the obvious ones of course. I feel as if a few teams in the middle of the pack have the potential to beat them, provided they have a bad game and the star player on the underdog team really turns it on

Thunder
Cavs
Spurs
Bulls (with derrick rose)

Teams that could beat them that I wouldn't consider "elite" that they haven't played yet:

Pacers
Mavericks
Heat
Hawks
Pistons (maybe)

They've really slipped through the cracks with their current schedule.

Their schedule is really easy. Only a few elite teams are capable of beating them, and they haven't faced even a fraction of them.

They are 20-0 man give them their props.

They've also played (and beat) the Clippers twice who I also think are more than capable of taking them down, although both games were fairly close.

Of course credit given where credit is due, 20-0 is impressive Ghast just brings up a valid point that it's not as impressive as it seems on the surface.

The golden state warriors are now 21-0. I'm speechless

East is pretty close, only 2 games separating 1st and 8th. Shame that the raptors are only 12-9, they've been playing pretty well lately. Hopefully the schedule is a bit nicer to them from here on out

Golden state warriors are now 22-0. Speechless

Was at the Raptors-Lakers game. Pretty weird experience lol, every time Kobe had the ball the arena would get antsy and then explode when he hit a shot. When he got subbed off people started chanting "we want kobe!"

 

The dream would be to see a series between the spurs and warriors tbh

Pretty much. Only see the spurs beating them.

So the warriors are 23-0 now, wow..... just wow....

Wow, raps pulling through against the spurs without Valanciunas is huge. Granted spurs looked terrible tonight, but I'll still take it

Agreed

Draymond green coming up huge today, he looked incredible both on offense and defence. Saw on reddit that it was the first 5x5 since the 2012 season

 

Curry gets bailed out again by his teammates. 9/27 from field. His fg % has been getting worse.

That's what the Warriors are all about imo. Of course Curry has been playing out of his mind this season, but all those close wins and a lot of the easy ones as well, their depth players really shine. Having a full team of 15 guys (realistically more like 10 for the Warriors) who have the potential to produce big on any given night is huge, especially nights like this where Curry seemed to be struggling.

Warriors win in overtime against the celtics, they are now 24-0!

 

[Hostblapstat]

And the 76ers are 1-23. LMAO
