The Warriors' Best Lineups Are Killing The Rest Of The League
By pretty much every metric, the Warriors are one of the best teams in the league.

I don't think you can really call what happened between the Thunder and Rockets last night a "basketball game," what with both teams shooting under 30 percent and the Rockets winning 69-65 (even the mid-90s Knicks would blanch at that score).
