Last year, they had the Cavs on the ropes even with Curry banged up and Draymond acting stupid. This year, they replaced Harrison Barnes with the 2nd best player in the world and are probably going to sweep a team with the best player in the world at the top of his game, one of the best scoring guards in the league, and an all star caliber big man in Love. Curry is 29. Durant is 28. Thompson and Green are 27.
So, how does the NBA stop this reign of terror? Cleveland has zero roster flexibility and are clearly outgunned and LeBron turns 33 in December. They'll probably get more shots at GS in the Finals but the results will probably be the same.
The Spurs even with Paul would be clear underdogs. And nobody else is even remotely close to being able to match up.
So, how do you beat this team if you one of the other 28 teams that doesn't have the best player in the world? Injuries could certainly play a role but let's assume they stay healthy for next 5 years. How many more titles are they winning? I say at least 2 with very good chance of more.
