Ranking Warriors' Back Court



The best backcourts in the NBA include the Miami Heat, the Los Angeles Lakers, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Boston Celtics, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Golden State Warriors?
Yes it's true. Since the unpopular, but good trade of Monta Ellis, the Warriors' backcourt looks promising. With Stephen Curry being able to handle the basketball, Klay Thompson is the sharpshooter and go to guy, with unlimited range. The backcourt forms a perfect combo because they know how to handle the situation, and no one is fighting over control of the offense. Thompson also stands at 6'7. Enough said?

Vs. Lakers: Against the Lakers, the Warriors don't really have a good chance of beating them with these lineups. Again, it's veteranship vs skill and talent, and Kobe has both of those. You can't put a price on fundamentals and skill. The clear winner here are the Lakers.

Vs. Heat: While Wade is a great player, Mario Chalmers is a selfish, wanting-all-the-credit ball-hog, who's just classless. He's a good player at times, but Curry can easily knock him off, without getting into an altercation. Thompson and Wade would be a fun matchup to watch. They're both young and explosive, and Thompson has height on Wade, but he knows how to get to the basket. In the end, the all-star veteran wins it, but the Warriors have the Heat beat in the backcourt. 

Vs. Celtics: The Celtics are very underrated this season. I don't analyzers realize how good they're going to be. Yes, they've lost Ray Allen, but they signed Jason Terry to come off the bench, and they have Avery Bradley waiting on the sidelines. Can Thompson, Jack, Rush, and Curry handle Rondo, Bradley, and Terry? Or is it too much for them. This one is an interesting matchup. Comment Below.

Vs. Bobcats: Come on, now.

Technically, the Warriors wouldn't beat any of these teams easily, except the Cats, but if you think about it, if the Warriors backcourt can keep it close and put up a run for the other team's money.. Then it shouldn't be hard to be crushing the other teams scoring wise. By this logic, the Warriors are another tough team to beat in the backcourt.
