10 Teams have won 67+ games in an NBA season (including the Warriors this season). 7 have won the NBA Finals. Out of those 7 championships arguments could be made about any of those teams being the greatest team of all-time.
1996 Chicago Bulls 72-10
1972 Los Angeles Lakers 69-13
1997 Chicago Bulls 69-13
1967 Philadelphia 76ers 68-13
1973 Boston Celtics 68-14
1986 Boston Celtics 67-15
1992 Chicago Bulls 67-15
2000 Los Angeles Lakers 67-15
2007 Dallas Mavericks 67-15
2015 Golden St. Warriors 67-15
Only the 07 Mavs and 73 Celtics didn’t win a title and both of those teams were completely failures for doing so. The 07 Mavs specifically because they didn’t just lose, they lost in the 1st round basically invalidating their entire season. Dirk would have been known specifically just for that if he didn’t take down the NWO HEAT in 2011.
The point is the Warriors have zero excuses. It doesn’t matter if they have a 1st year coach or the majority of their roster is young. If you win 67 games in the NBA you should win the NBA the title and if you don’t it should be seen as a colossal failure.
Careers are made in the regular season, legacies are made in the playoffs. When you have that good of a regular season, LeBron shouldn’t scare you, the Spurs shouldn’t scare you or how deep your conference is shouldn’t. You should go out and crush people on your way to holding the trophy. You should Brock Lesnar the entire league, take them to Splash Bros Ciry and remixes should be made in your honor.
This is the standard that I am holding the Warriors to. Everyone loves Steph, Klay, Draymond and etc, but this is when it matters. This is where it gets tough. This is where you get punched in the mouth like Mosley did Mayweather in the 2nd round. How are the Warriors going to react? Like Paper Champions as Clubber Lang would say or real men…….
