warriors aren't even that good

>>76278801
The warriors would just hack Shaq and meme chuck them out of oblivion. Then Kobe would miss 100 shots and Durant would posterized him. Those Lakers would have no chance.

>>76278801
Nah but your example is probably the only oldfag team that would have a chance. I'll give you a pass since you mentioned them.

>>76278833
But yeah pretty much this. Kobes barely above 40% shooting from the field and barely above 30% shooting wouldn't have up today. Dude retired at the perfect time.

>>76278833
Based Pau

>>76278801
Fuck the Lakers and Boston

>>76278801
They would not destroy them, but it would be a nice 6 game series, Big Shot Rob would probably make a buzzer-beater in game 4 with the LAL trailing 2-1 and 20 pt deficing going into the 4th.

2017 cleveland would sweep 2001 lakers, fuck out of here with this shit

the funny thing is that the warriors analyst that they hired told them to just shoot threes as much as possible and they should win.

lmao the warriors had been ify about doing it. i mean kobe does have 5 rings so maybe he was one to it. i mean probably he has a genius level bball iq.

Warriors would sweep them winning every game by 30

>>76282414
theyd win, shooting at the percentage they can shoot at. Kobe's shot was nowhere close to as accurate as Curry's.

>>76278801
Warriors ARE that good but those Lakers are still better and would sweep in 5.

It'd be a great series. The Lakers wouldn't be able to stop the Warriors from scoring and the Warriors wouldn't be able to stop Shaq from scoring. Who wins might basically come down to how often the Lakers fed Shaq. When the Lakers didn't feed Shaq enough, they lost, like against Detroit.

>>76278833
Their bigs would foul out and you'd have Curry guarding Shaq in the post.

>>76282326
No team is sweeping 2001 Lakers. Nobody short of maybe Bill fucking Russel can stop 2001 Shaq from scoring.

Kobe was already an elite defender in 2001, he could easily shut Curry or Klay down. KD wouldn't be able to gallop through the paint with the fucking diesel waiting near the basket. Kobe, Shaq and Fisher were masters at ball movement and maximizing opportunities within the triangle offense.

2001 Lakers would probably reverse sweep the memeiors in 5.

Why did the Lakers need Tyronne Lue to shut AI down if Kobe could do it?

>>76285648
AI was way quicker, had better handles, and better at getting to the rim than either of Warriors' guards.

>he thinks stopping the Warriors from getting wide open J's is as easy as putting Kobe on Steph or Klay

tl;dr: It's not that easy with the way GS sets screens.

>>76285681

They're about the same in this regard.

>>76285709
With a .407 FG%, compared to his .425 career FG%.

>>76285756
Also, 11-39 from three.

>>76285756
Again, I don't think holding someone to .18 percentage points less on 35ppg counts as shutting him down. Everyone shoots worse in the playoffs anyway as your stats are not inflated by playing shitty teams and teams have a lot of time to prepare against you.

I can't believe that we're in an alternate timeline now where Tyronne Lue is considered a lock down defender against Iverson by kids who weren't even born yet when the 2001 finals happened.

>>76285795
Take out game 1 and Iverson shoots .397 for the series.

>>76285869

This is retard logic at it's finest.

That's getting shut the fuck down for 4 out of the 5 games.
