As you say, you don't have to like them to simply admit they are good. Most posts here are about losing in the finals last year or nut sack infringements or dirty plays or unfair hiring of KD, weak competition, blah, blah, blah. They are doing something remarkable right now. They are 14-0 in the playoffs and so far dominating the team that was supposed to teach them what's what. Love 'em or hate 'em, they are putting on a remarkable performance.

Lol, absolutely no one is discrediting GS' talent. The problem across the league is that this sort of super team makes the sport borderline boring to watch. Aside from soccer, no other sport is so one-sided. There needs to be a CBA revision of some kind, otherwise we're going to continue seeing super teams rise and fall. Ringlets all-stars will just continue taking pay cuts to go to a contender and hopefully get that ring before retiring. In theory, that doesn't sound like a big deal, if a player is willing to sacrifice pay, then who cares? But it's just going to constantly be the same 2-4 teams getting to the finals every year. It's so lopsided to the point that teams will tank or avoid going hard in FA because it's essentially pointless. Example: Lakers have plenty of talent to trade and deal for picks/current all-stars, but what's the point if GS owns the west for the next 3-6 years?
Long story short: no one is knocking on the Warriors being good. They're arguably more talented than the 90's Bulls and early 2000's Lakers. Cleveland knew what was coming since last year, hence adding Korver and Williams off the bench, but it's just not enough so far. Its insane what's going on in the NBA right now, and we'll be able to talk about it in the next few decades.
