With tomorrow being the last day of the regular season, It caps off a very suprising season where we saw teams we thought were going to be contenders struggle (Washington, Chicago, Houston and New Orleans) as well as some suprise teams (Charlotte and Portland) but overall the main storyline of the 2015-16 regular season has been the outright dominance of the Golden State Warriors.
Let me prefence this by saying that im not a warriors fan (actually a wiz fan) but they have been the best team this league has seen in 20 years. The combination of shooting, defense and versatility has led to their dominance over about 95% of the league.
Theyre probably going to break the record and finish the season only losing 9 games and a lot of those were flukes.
So here im going to give full credit to the teams that definitively beat the dubs:
Milwaukee- Handed them their first loss in strong fashion
Dallas- i believe this loss was a fluke as it was just a overall terrible night for the warriors
Denver- This game the young rising (underrated) nuggets handed them the 3rd loss of the season by truly beating them
Detroit- this was a fluke as everyone apart from curry had a down shooting night
Portland- Dame went absolutely off and torched them in this game to the tune of 50
Lakers- It’s the lakers you know when huertas is beating you that its definitely a fluke
Spurs- used their defensive prowess to shut down the offensive machine
Boston- (IMO) the most impressive win of the season by any team as isaiah thomas showed why he is an all star in this league (Props to brad stevens as well)
Minny- got burned by KAT and wiggins however as impressive as they were i feel like this was a fluke win.

Sorry for the lengthy post but i just had to share my feelings about the dubs in a unbiased way (i hate the ammount of bandwagoners who think theyre basketball experts because they watched highlights of steph curry)

Decision…..
So who is watching the Warriors go for 73 and who is watching Kobe Bryant’s last game?
There is no doubt for me that the Kobe game is the one to watch, but it is a shame that the 2 games clash with each other.

you know what i find ironic, if you just look at those losses and the final score, it appears that the san antonio one might be the fluke. im not saying that it was, far from, san antonio beat them bad on that one. but it was the only one that the warriors came in with their deffensive mind set on in a big match-up and came out with a loss. all the others, they just dint have it deffensively.
MIL: 95-108
DAL: 91-114
DEN: 110-112
DET: 95-113
POR: 105-137
LAL: 95-112
SAS: 79-87
BOS: 106-109
MIN: 117-124
so they may be an offensive machine, but 8 of their 9 losses this season has been because they dint get enough stops. and i dont think its coincidental that the same 8 out 9 were against teams not regarded as a contender this season.

People forget klay Thompson had got injured before the loss to Milwaukee, he played hurt, so if we must title flukes the gsw were not at full.strength that game either.
Biggest let down for me is the bulls, & I know there was a previous post about Houston/Chicago who’s season was a bigger let down and I say the bulls. The rockets got harden, no playing defense with Howard who already had an unpolished post game coupled with injuries and age he has seen a huge decline. Plus the rockets have no scorers other than those 2 who can consistently get their own shot. Ariza is a 3&d guy, mostly is Beverly when his shot is falling, & same with brewer but I don’t know what happened to him, he has decreased horribly. The bulls got butler,gasol, rose had a lot of good games, youth, but it is what it is.
Still can the raptors or clippers male it to the conference finals? I got more.faith in the raptors although both still are questionable in my eyes. Can okc or the spurs knock off gsw? With Dallas and Memphis ravaged by age& injuries how many sweeps are possible in the west. Can’t wait for the playoffs!!
