And even if you aren't, that really doesn't support what you originally said."Bruno?
Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

Unfortunately to this day non of those jump shooting finesse teams (Phx Suns, Don Neslon Warriors, Nuggets, Joe Johnson Hawks) have ever been able to buck the trend and show that it is possible to win with jump shooting.
Closest would be the Mavs but even they weren't really as finesse as the teams I listed above or the Warriors of this year.

The 8th*Seed – Where Upsets Are Made
If we break down the numbers by seeding, rather than by conferences, we see that a 5th seed, followed by the 6th seed, holds the best chance of pulling an upset; the 5th seed at 25.9% chance and the 6th seed at a 20% clip. This makes logical sense. When it comes to the 7th and 8th seed, it’s reversed. The 8th seed actually holds a better chance at winning a playoff series than a 7th seed. In fact, only one 7th seed has won a playoff series over the last ten years, 2009-2010*San Antonio Spurs. Before the Spurs, the last time a 7th seed pulled the upset on a 2 seed was all the way back during the 97-98 season when the Knicks defeated the Heat. This does not bode well for the current 7th seeders, the*Boston Celtics*and*Los Angeles Lakers.
On the other hand, the 8th seed has pulled an upset three times over the last ten years (equating to 13%), the 2006-2007*Golden State Warriors, the 2010-2011 Memphis Grizzlies, and most recently, the 2011-2012*Philadelphia 76ers*(beating the Rose-less #1 seed Bulls). This could mean good news for the current 8th seed in the West, the Houston Rockets.
Its the chance of 8 beating 1. It happens more than it should. Usually upsets are rare in basketball but it happens when a high win padding non playoff team loses to a better playoff 8th team. Spurs vs Mavs are as other example, not an upset but competive regardless of regular season record.

The D will tighten up in the playoffs and coverage on jump shooters will be a lot tighter, but Curry's an MVP-level offensive player and Klay is turning into a great offensive player as well. I think those guys will be fine.
As was mentioned and as the Spurs showed last year, great ball movement beats a tight defensive system and finds open shots.
I watched the Spurs and Bucks this week and it was crazy - all the scoring was either at the 3 pt line or at the rim. There were soooooo few mid-range shots, it was night-and-day vs. watching a Raps game. The whole sport is evolving in that direction."We're playing in a building." -- Kawhi Leonard

First and foremost, GS has the #1 drtg in the league, and defense wins in the playoffs. Secondly, this is a new thing where teams like the Warriors, the Hawks, and the Bucks are taking a ton of 3 pt shots by design in response to the analytics movement. In the past, jump shooting teams have often been teams with no inside offensive game - they weren't jump shooters necessarily because they wanted to be, they were jump shooters because that was the only way they could score consistently. Teams now are shooting 3's because they want to, not because they have to. Curry and Klay can both take guys off the dribble and attack the basket, but they actually want to shoot a ton of 3's. If the D forces them to attack off the bounce more in the playoffs, they'll be able to.
