Golden State Warriors are still the force to be reckoned with especially when all players are playing at their best. They've demonstrated that the regular season is nothing more than a scrimmage especially when it comes to players like Steph Curry who deal with a more strict officiating crew when it comes to the regular season. Players like James Harden have mastered using this to their advantage. In the case of Curry, it helps him because he can't get mugged in the regular season.
Doug Gottlieb makes the point that Curry's current struggles in the NBA playoffs are attributed to things drastically changing in the officiating as defenses are allowed to be more physical and there are several years of evidence to support that.
