With the Golden State Warriors being unbeaten a lot of
speculation is floating around weather they will remain unbeaten through
Christmas. The key there is that they’re all healthy. They went from winning
the championship, right into training for the regular season. I’ve never seen a
team work this hard and become so successful. Going into Christmas Day, the
Warriors will face the ultimate test of LeBron James and the Cavaliers.
Looking
at the team as a whole, they’ve really proven themselves as a tem who can win
back to back titles. The one guy that I think everyone overlooks is Andrew
Bogut. You probably think to yourself “Who the Hell is he?!” Well Bogut is a 7
foot tall and 260 pound for the Warriors. Last year Bogut was struggling to
make some easy layups and even from free throws. But looking at everything now,
he is looking better than ever. I think he is currently on pace to outscore his
numbers from last year. I really do think he is the factor to this team.
Now
thinking about Stephen Curry, you think what more could he possibly do? Curry
is currently averaging 32 ppg (Points per Game), which is pretty good because
you also have Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes with both average mid-teens for
points. Plus you add in Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut with a combined 15 rpg
(Rebounds per Game.) With all of that taken into consideration I don’t think a
team will be able to beat the Warriors this year. But a team that might come
close is the Cavaliers.
The
Cavaliers have an interesting team. They are basically a band of misfits that
have all come together to be a championship team. Now LeBron James is an
all-around good player, but lacks maybe one guy to put the whole team together.
With him averaging 26 ppg and 8 rpg. I don’t think that will amount to anything
compared to the Warriors. I think the Cavaliers don’t have the experience the
Warriors do, and that’s what was hurting them in the beginning of the season. Also
lacking depth is a key issue with the Cavaliers. They have a healthy LeBron and
a healthy Kevin Love. Other than that they don’t have anyone else. Kyrie Irving
hasn’t played a game this entire year, which is making me think that he won’t
be back for a while.
After
everything is said and done the Golden State Warriors will most likely beat the
Cavaliers, because they have more depth on their bench and they aren’t centered
on one person like the Cavaliers are. To win this game LeBron James and Kevin
Love both have to step up in order to take down the mighty Golden State
Warriors.
