When did Luke Walton turn into Sergio Garcia?

Bulls played their asses off but lost to the absurdly good, super entertaining Warriors. No Rose, no Dunleavy, no Brooks. Tough assignment to beat a fantastic GS back court and wings. And most importantly the worst performance I think I've ever seen out of Joakim Noah. He made about 10 really, really bad plays that either directly gave the Warriors points, or took away easy points from the Bulls. I'd rant more, but it's a baseball forum and I've already angry-typed enough over at the Bulls forum.

How The Warriors Are Breaking The NBA

I 100% believe--and I say this as an NBA junkie in the Golden Age of the league and a MJ/Pippen Bulls homer fanboy--that this Warriors team is the best in NBA history.

Of course the best team in NBA history would have a guy that went to the same high school that I did. Cheer cheer for Lanphier, as we march along to vic-tory, all our foes will tremble, when they hear those Lions roar ROAR ROAR!

I'm not going to say you're wrong. I'm going to go with "too soon to tell".

Remember that that last year's Cavs (who aren't even in the conversation for best team ever) took them to 6 games, just 5 months ago, without Love or Irving.

Granted, this year's GS team may be better. I'm just not prepared to go there yet.

Iggy initially signed with the Razorbacks

I remember. Coach quit, then he backed out. Iggy is one of the good guys, he does a lot back home. Another NBA guy from my school you may know was Kevin Gamble, who I actually knew a little bit because he was I think 2 years behind me. Gamble is another great guy, always had a smile on his face.

Nolan had Iggy signed and we were Emeka Okafor's leader. Then Nolan freaked out and we've sucked hind tit since

Curry is better this year. So is Thompson. So is Green. The Cavs are not better this year. Also, the Cavs only got a couple games in that series because Steph Curry ran remarkably and uncharacteristically cold for 7 quarter and an OT. The narrative of the series was "Lebron is the most best ever" and "Delladova is white grit personified" but as went Curry so went the series.

I was thinking about this the other day.

I can't tell if the Warriors are a historically great team or if the NBA is just mediocre. Do I think this team could beat one of the prime Spurs champions? No. Do I think they could beat a prime Kobe-Shaq Lakers? No. Could they beat the Jordan Bulls? Definitely not. That is a particularly bad matchup because of their best-ever perimeter defense and clock sapping iso offensive sets. I won't speak to the Bird/Magic teams because I wasn't an observer and the legend I grew up on is probably a little larger than life.
