It's a lot of talent for sure, and yet not a single #1 pick on their team. You got to have a devious and brilliant mind, able to play the long game, and have a bit of luck along the way to overcome a team like this. It's going to be a few years, as they really are all pretty young still. You've got to come up with an alternative way of playing against them, to shut down their outside attack, be able to switch everything, keep them out of the paint and make them pay inside and out. And, you're going to have to execute and play extremely well together for a number of yearsMarty [Mori Chu] wrote:That game was a lot of fun to watch. But I can't shake the feeling that this is bad for the league. Warriors just have a bit too much concentration of talent. If they didn't have Durant, the matchup would be a lot more even and interesting.
As a thought experiment, keeping the Cavs and Warriors out of it, of the players that are left, how would you build a team that could beat the Warriors regularly?
Give me a team where each position can play both ways and has a tall pass first pg that can fill the box sheet, a shooting guard that can create his own shot and score in almost any way, a lockdown 2 way monster at the sf, a long rangy athletic pf that can go inside and out, and a defensive stud with 3pt range and ability to switch onto all 5 positions.
