The idea that the Warriors would be better than us + Lebron is ludicrous
Yeeeep!

But LarBrd33 will tell you that the Sixers + Lebron STOMPS Golden State in 4 or 5  ::)

Well of course! Embiid and Simmons are far superior to any of our players!!

That is of course why we flogged them in 5 without our two best players, who also happen to include an NBA champion

And if he joined us we'd likely go 16-0 in the playoffs.
I think even if we added LeBron without sacrificing a single asset, the Warriors could still beat us.  That's how historically loaded that Warrior team is.  Two generational MVP talents.  Three of the greatest shooters of all time.  It wouldn't be easy.

If our team is healthy + Lebron? IMO, we'd beat them. Yes, they're loaded, but fortune smiled on them with the Chris Paul injury or they'd have watched the finals from home.

It's good to see that Draymond is already demanding supermax. The more strife and tension in that locker room, the better. If Klay doesn't settle for a bargain deal, we'll likely see them broken up. I don't think we'll see 4 max/supermax players on one team. Tax could wind up being more than the actual payroll. Their payroll alone could be more than their revenue. IMO, if Klay becomes eligible for supermax and Durant signs a max, they trade or let Green walk a year or two down the road.

Oh but didn't you hear? The great Markelle Fultz registered a bunch of DNP's that series. If he was healthy and more engaged, he would have gone Kyrie Irving/James Harden on us and we'd lose in 6 last May  :laugh:

The Warriors would not have been in the finals this year if Houston had not turned in one of the all time worst shooting performances in playoff history, in game 7....very much like the Celtics in game 7.

The Rockets looked exhausted and part of that was no depth with star player Chris Paul out for two games. 

It's a joke to say the Warriors beat Boston plus Lebron....it wouldn't be close.
