Personally I think Westbrook and Cousins would be Gsw/Cav's kryptonite

[Geo123]

I would say if we could keep at least two of each preferably in Crowder, Smart, Bradley, or Brown. I can see a duo of Westbrook and Cousins being the perfect duo to really give GSW/Cavs the most trouble out of any team.

I'm not convinced GSW is invincible, since they literally gave up their bench, and are nothing but a super team full of the best shooters in the history of the NBA. But their post defenders in Varejao, Pachulia, etc, are pretty much getting up there in age, and going to eventually get injured or unable to stop the beast that is DMC.

Could we go out and get these two? These two are the perfect players next to each other. Passionate, violate, and hungry to win a championship.

Nope

Why not? Its realistic. Sign Westbrook or trade IT, plus something else/sweeteners. And Cousins would definitely take one or two BRK picks, with Bradley to start off.

Personally I think on paper the Warriors should win every single game they play and should be completely ashamed of themselves every time a team manages to miraculously beat them.   

I think you could add Blake Griffin + Russell Westbrook + DeMarcus Cousins to this team without removing a single asset and it would still lose to Golden State in 5.

So you're saying if Celtics had those 3 plus Jae Crowder, Avery Bradley, and Marcus Smart (without removing a single asset) they'd still lose to the Warriors in 5?

Yeah. Basically.  It's not the even the unprecedented collection of talent on Golden State that should worry people, though having an unprecedented 4 all-NBA players on a single team should indeed worry people.  It's the fact that they all compliment each other so well.  It's basically Home Run Derby Basketball.  Durant can already score on double teams at will from anywhere on the court, because he's one of the most dynamic and versatile scores in NBA history.  You put him on a 73 win team with two of the greatest shooters of all time - forget it.  Check mate.   This decade is over.  Throwing a bunch of mismatched start talent together isn't going to counter that.

GSW couldn't guard Westbrook. It was only until Durant and Westbrook started taking tough and iso ball hero shots that completely got them out of the game.

And I guarantee 10 TPs, Cousins would absolutely obliterate Green in the post, or whoever is guarding him. Cousins is one of the most dominant centers that we've seen, and just needs the right team and teammates to help him push forward.

One of my favorite games to watch definitely... He man handled GSW.
