Let’s be real—those ‘We Believe’ Warriors were fun, but claiming they’d dominate today’s NBA is like saying flip phones could outsmart an iPhone 15. Sure, they pioneered small-ball chaos (Al Harrington at center? Bold!), but their ‘elite’ defense would get roasted by Jokic’s passing or Embiid’s post moves. And let’s not forget: they got bounced by the Jazz immediately after their Cinderella run. Nostalgia’s a hell of a drug, folks. #PlayInTournamentAtBest

Drop your hottest NBA takes below – but maybe don’t bet your life savings on Biedrins guarding Giannis.

The Ultimate Case of Rose-Tinted Glasses

Jason Richardson talking about the ‘06-07 Warriors dominating today’s NBA is like your uncle claiming he could beat LeBron one-on-one ‘back in his day.’ Sure, they were fun (and that playoff upset was magical), but let’s not rewrite history:

• Small-ball pioneers? More like small-ball crash test dummies. They ranked 28th in defensive rebounds while playing at warp speed—a recipe for disaster against today’s giants.
• Monta Ellis guarding PFs? Cute experiment, but try that against Giannis and see what happens.

This team deserves credit for being ahead of its time… just don’t pretend they’d survive the modern NBA meat grinder. Play-in tournament? Maybe. Championship contention? Insert Stephen Jackson’s skeptical face here.

Hot take: Their real legacy is proving that chaos ball works… if you ignore defense entirely.

¡Qué risa con estos veteranos!

Los Warriors del 2006-07 eran divertidos, pero ¿dominarían hoy? Con Biedrins fallando tiros libres como si estuviera cegado por el sol y Monta Ellis defendiendo a ala-pivotes… ¡por favor!

El detalle épico: Su rebote defensivo era tan malo que hasta las palomas del estadio les robaban balones.

Eso sí, fueron pioneros en tirar triples… aunque hoy cualquier equipo de instituto lo hace mejor.

¿Ustedes qué opinan? ¿Era mejor esa época o ahora somos unos mimados con el baloncesto moderno?

Será que essa turma do ‘We Believe’ aguentaria o tranco hoje?

Olha, adoro o time dos Warriors de 2006-07, mas dizer que dominariam a NBA atual é como achar que um Fusca vai vencer uma F1. Eles foram revolucionários, sim, mas hoje? Com jogadores como Jokic e Embiid esmagando defesas?

Pontos fortes:

• Eram os reis do três (para a época)
• Jogavam sem posição fixa, tipo um ensaio do basquete moderno

Pontos fracos:

• Rebatidas? Esquece! Era só correria e torcer para a bola entrar

No final, seriam um time divertido de assistir, mas longe dos melhores. O que acham? Será que estou sendo muito duro com o time do Barão Davis?

Blast from the Past or Just Dust?

Jason Richardson’s claim that the ’07 Warriors could dominate today’s NBA is like saying a flip phone could outsmart an iPhone. Sure, they were pioneers of pace-and-space, but let’s be real—their “versatile” lineup would get eaten alive by today’s giants.

Small-Ball Before It Was Cool

Al Harrington at center? Cute. Try that against Jokic and you’ll need a ladder just to contest a rebound. And Monta Ellis guarding power forwards? Modern analytics might back it, but his knees definitely wouldn’t.

The Verdict: Fun to imagine, painful to watch. Play-in tournament at best, folks. What do you think—could they survive today’s NBA grind?

The Original ‘Space Cowboys’

Let’s be real - those 2006-07 Warriors would get cooked faster than Andris Biedrins at the free throw line (52% career, yikes!). Sure, they pioneered some concepts, but let’s not pretend Captain Jack could guard KD or that small-ball lineup wouldn’t get bullied by Jokic like a toddler at a playground.

Math Doesn’t Lie

Their “elite” defensive rating? Would rank 15th today. Those revolutionary 24 threes per game? Warriors now average 43. And Monta Ellis guarding PFs? More like ‘Monta Please-iss’ against Zion.

Final verdict: Fun nostalgia trip, but this team screams ‘play-in tournament exit’ in 2024. Sorry Baron, time to put down the throwback jersey and pick up a calculator.

#WarriorsNostalgia #AnalyticsDon’tLie

Nostalgia glasses need cleaning

The ‘We Believe’ Warriors as title contenders today? That’s like bringing a flip phone to a smartphone battle! Sure, they pioneered small-ball, but let’s be real:

1. Their ‘elite defense’ would get cooked by any modern big (Jokic would feast on Biedrins like Sunday brunch)
2. Monta guarding PFs? Cute. Today’s wings would posterize him before he finishes his pre-game energy drink
3. That 28th-ranked rebounding? Giannis would grab 30 boards blindfolded

Fun fact: This squad missed playoffs every other year - even the Suns’ bench could outrun them!

Drop your hottest take: Could Captain Jack survive in today’s league or would he get benched for Matisse Thybulle?
