They can take:
LA - tough one. LA is a good team, but the playoffs are only 3 weeks away and they haven't been healthy for almost the entire season. AND they just got embarrassed by the Bobcats and the Grizz at home.
NO - For some reason, I'm just not completelty sold on this team. CP3 has been insane, but against a bigger pg(Deron Williams, BDiddy) he isn't as proficient. The Hornets remind me alot of the Warriors, they struggle with half-court teams(Utah) as well.
Dallas - I think we all remember last year
Denver - Denver plays worse D than GS does
Phx - The Warriors are better at the Suns system than they are
Rockets - These guys are frauds to me. Sure they were on a winning streak, but every team gets hot for a while(see Blazers). I just don't see this team doing anything without Yao. Plus T-Mac can't win in the postseason. They can't run with GS anyways
The only teams the Warriors will be in trouble against are the Spurs+Utah.
Nobody on the Warriors can gaurd Duncan. Plus Utah owns GS.
BUT if the Warriors control the tempo and their shots are falling, they can take out anyone.
It's all about catching fire at the right time, and for the Warriors the time is now.
