| PAOerfulone said: Warriors are tied for #3 in opponent field goal percentage. #1 in opponent 3 point percentage. They beat teams by over 11 points a game, (Spurs by 13) But in the words of 11 NBA Champion and greatest winner of all time Bill Russell. "The only statistic in basketball that matters is the Final Score." They're 9-0 against the Spurs, Thunder, Cavaliers, and Clippers!! And 55-5! I'm pretty sure they're much, much, higher than the #20 rated defense and they've been on the good side of the final score more times than anyone else th see past 2 seasons including the Spurs. |

They're 21st in the league as far as opp, the Spurs are first. To break that down, the Spurs are 7th in scoring and 1st in points allowed. The Warriors are 1st in scoring and 21st in points allowed.
The Warriors record this year is very midleading. They remind me of that Patriots team a few years back that went undefeated in the regular season and lost in the SB. I was saying to everyone who would listen that they would get beat because their record hid the fact that they had no defense and defense wins championships. No one listened, until it happened.
I'm not saying the Warriors are going to lose, but they're not as good as that record says they are.
