    Yes, some list from some magazine or online site(I forget where) called them the 4th best team of all time and then I heard people on the radio calling in and saying they agree, etc. Pretty sure it was mainly cuz the 67 wins but that's not how it should be measured.

    By the way none of the Kobe/Shaq teams were on there lol, Warriors were only behind MJ's Bulls (forget which year), one of the Celtics teams from the 80s and the 09 Lakers. So they put Golden State ahead of all the Kobe/Shaq years and every MJ Bulls team except one, total joke.

    Okay I found it, it was apparently from some guy who's an 'expert' at studying numbers or whatever lol. Maybe he should drop his calculator and actually watch some of the games too.

    Lol yeah I guess the source isn't as credible as I thought so that's good at least, the radio station I heard it on made it sound like a fairly big deal.

    In terms of point differential yeah they're one of the better teams ever but it's reaching calling them top 5. That's only talking regular season too.

    I guess those lists don't factor in the fact that Phil Jackson and Gregg Poppovich don't give a s--- about the regular season most of the time lol.

    BREAKING: Lamar Odom's best friend, Jamie Sangouthai has died of an apparent heroin overdose. Jamie often appeared on Khloe & Lamar. Khloe and others claimed Jamie was the one who led Lamar to his tragic crack binge two years ago. RIP.

    Exactly. Teams like the Spurs from last year who sit their veterans all season to help save them for the playoffs.

    I wouldn't really consider a team an "all time great team" if your team isn't in good enough shape to play every game of the season. If you have to rest them so they have enough to play in the playoffs, then they aren't as great as you'd think. But I mean that's just what I think.

    I don't get why Andre isn't guarding Lebron anymore, he had done the best job this series.

    Whoops. Didn't mean to say or even imply they were one of the best teams ever. They did play outta their minds in the finals though. Pop deserves tons of credit for that.

    Curry got away with a clear illegal screen on that Klay three. Stuck his leg out almost 90 degrees to prevent Shump from closing out. So many missed calls this game not going both ways.

    f--- what the stats say, Andre really deserves MVP if the Warriors go on to win the series. Really doubt the NBA gives it to him though.
