Are there any teams that can top Golden State?

Now that the Clips are through, sadly taking two Aussies out of contention, I am concerned that with Chris Paul's hamstring they might be light on going into the next series.

Can't see the Clips going any further after they pretty much gave everything they had to take out the Spurs, if they play GSW they would go out in 4 I predict.

"David Lee's fitness is the key for GSW in a Spurs match up."

Yeah cheers for the hilarity, Choppy G. I half snorted my drink on reading that.

http://www.goldenstateofmind.com/2015/4/28/8477149/golden-state-warriors-2015-david-lee-roster-free-agency-offseason

An excerpt from the above article:

"For the regular season, the team went 37-12 (.755) with David Lee in the lineup and 30-3 (.909) without."

"Playing more minutes hasn't helped. The team went 16-5 (.761) in games where the former All Star played more than 20 minutes, 4-3 (.571) when he topped 24 minutes, and 0-2 when he played 30 or more minutes. On the flipside, the team is 5-0 when Lee plays less than 10 minutes."

"The team hasn't depended on Lee to play well in wins either. His TS% in wins was .527 on 19.0 USG% in 18.2 minutes. He averaged 7.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in those wins. In losses, his USG% increased to 21.0, and his TS% climbed to .575. He managed to raise his counting numbers too, posting 9.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per loss."

"Occam's razor says that the more the Warriors use Lee this season, the worse the team plays. And he is the highest paid player in team history."

If Spurs get out of LA after game 7 I think they can take GS out. But the Clips are a great match up for the Spurs, even more so with Splitter & Parker hobbling.

Green & Leonard tend to do the job on Curry & Thompson. David Lee's fitness is the key for GSW in a Spurs match up.

It is the NBA, it is a very tough league, that's why we love it so much.

Golden State is my pick, but the road ahead is always unpredictable, look at what happened within seconds to the Cavs, losing Love and maybe their chances go along with him.

Rockets and Spurs will be tough in the West and although the east may not have the favourites the Hawks have proven themselves and the Cavs could still be a threat, depends if they can cover Love (they could be loveless :).
