Are the Warriors that Good?

I say no, they aren't, they're a front-running team and weak-minded. You can beat if you get a lead, as LeBron showed last year by nearly single-handedly demoralizing them and allow Irving to then finish them off.

Curry and Durant don't have good chemistry in my opinion, and especially Curry, Thompson, and Durant. Seems they might be better without Durant. So, enough of Locke's nonsense that they have 2 of the 5 best players. What good is that without good chemistry between them. When the Bulls had Michael and Pippen, they complemented each other with their skills. Curry and Durant do not; they're both scoring machines.

They're beatable and I will not be surprised if they don't win the championship this year.
 
Sure, they are good, but I don't think that's why they won last night. I think the Jazz lost more than anything. Giving up so many points on turnovers will kill you. And with Hayward having such a poor game, made it very difficult to even stay close. Clean up the turnovers and if Hayward can play well again, I think the Jazz can win.
 
I think Curry was injured last year (kind of how Gobert is only about 85% right now) and then they added KD to that team. They are really really good. I suspect they will roll everyone this year.
 
Yes, they're that good. They're the #1 offense in the league and one of top 3 defenses in the league. They have three of the best shooters in the game, they move the ball and play defense as a unit. They're deep, they're long, they're athletic at every position, they play fast and they run teams off the court. If they hit their 3s at a better clip last night, they'd have been up by 30 on us.

They're extremely well coached too. Steve Kerr deserves a lot of credit.
 
This is really a silly discussion. Yes, the Warriors are absolutely that good. It will take a team firing on all cylinders for all 48 minutes to make a dent in their armor. That is just reality. I would love to see the Jazz do that once or twice in this series. But realistically we will lose this in 4 games. 5 if we get lucky. It is fun to imagine, and yes there is always some probability however slight, but reality is they are probably going to roll right to the finals.
 
Yes.

Trust me. If the Jazz could defend like that as a unit and score at will both in transition and in-offence, they would be the front-runningnest mutha****as in the history of the free world. And there have been some pretty big ones historically. The dinosaurs, for example.
 
I think the Jazz (and a lot of teams) might be more battle-tested in close games than the Warriors, but it's only because they keep blowing the **** out of everyone, and prevent games from being close. But even in a close game, Curry/Thompson/Durant are all ****ing clutch so it's not like the Warriors are uncomfortable/incapable of hitting big shots...
So short answer, Yes they are that good.
 
They're very good. Not once did I feel like the Jazz had a chance during last night's game. I believe we can do better and actually compete, if we don't try to out shoot them. But since I consider the Jazz to be as good as anyone not named the Warriors, it is easy to see just how good GS is.

Last 3 years:

1 championship, all time season win total, winningest team over a 3 year period in NBA history. Giving them their due as a historically great team does not detract from the Jazz.

In short: Yes, they are.
 
Yes they are. I mean they have 4 elite wing defenders on top of everything thats been said. We can beat them though.
 
Well, maybe my judgment is clouded by my repulsion for Green, the a-hole, and Durant signing with them. But the team that I think would have the best chance to beat them is the Celtics. They don't have anyone to stop IT's penetration leaving it to their inadequate rim protection, plus they have the overall athleticism that would be able to counter them.
