This might actually be their last legit chance to win it all.I will add that Green only played 46 games this season (missed Jan 9th until March 23rd) and Klay only played in 32 (basically the last 32). So the teams DAL played during the regular season were not the same team in the playoffs. Remember, GSW finished on a 5 game win streak and won 7 out of the last 10. If Green stayed healthy, they might have kept the #2 seed.
I do think their payroll considerations, only 8 under contract with the top 4 owed over $145MM next season, will limit the window for future championships.
