2015 Warriors vs 06-07 Warriors

Obviously the current team is much more disciplined and enjoying more regular season success, but I'm wondering if that '07 team could catch lightning in a bottle again and beat the current team in a series. They match up pretty well. I could see Baron being a nightmare for steph by posting him up.

'15: Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Green, Bogut
'07: Davis, Richardson, Jackson, Harrington, Biedrens

With Monta vs Igoudala off the bench.

In the end I think the 2015 team wins a 7 game series, but I think it'd be close.

The '07 Warriors were krytonite for the Mavs, but let us not forget that they were barely a .500 team and that they lost in five to the Jazz in the second round. I think the current team would crush them.

Completely healthy, the '15 team (bleep) all over the '07 team. '15 has shut down defenders at multiple positions and their bench goes WAY pass Iggy. Their 2nd unit is absurd. David Lee/Iggy/Barbosa/Livingston/Speights beat several team's STARTING units. Add to that the fact that the '15 team is constructed with parts that fit. The '07 team was constructed like a relic of basketball past. A bunch of dudes with good iso skills, suspect defense and no one that can actually shoot the ball well. 4-0 sweep in an absolute ass-kicking.

Yeah it wouldn't even be close. Baron Davis was cool and all but...

I still think the series might surprise some and go to six games. That 07 team was fiery (similar to the current team) on their home floor.

I think they could exploit the Davis/curry matchup and they have defenders in Barnes/Jackson/pietrus to throw at Klay. They don't execute well enough nor were they well coached. But imo they match up well enough to make it interesting

Is this a serious question? Jackson did a great job on Dirk. Baron Davis, a hot and cold player, had a good series. Richardson could get hot, but he was not a great two way player. Harrington and Biedrins?

The 2015 W's lead the league in FG% on offense. They lead the league in FG% defense, and they do it while leading the league in offensive pace. If that continues through the end of the year, it will be something that has never happened before. Teams that speed up the game never have been close to leading the league in FG% defense.

I'm not saying that the W's will win it all this year. If Bogut goes down, then some team will beat them up inside enough to beat them, IMO. If they stay healthy, however, they are one of 3 or 4 teams with a shot to win it all. The 2007 W's won a single playoff series, albeit against the top team. Who thought they could win it all?

I think 07 team would have better homecourt edge.
