The Warriors’ blend of experience, marksmanship, and defensive enhancements underpins their competitive edge. The synergy between Curry’s leadership and the team’s collective talent and strategy, according to Smith, sets them apart in the quest for another title.
Meanwhile, Smith is also a bit skeptical about the Los Angeles Lakers’ shooting skills holding back LeBron James from another chip. They might struggle against bigger teams like the Denver Nuggets or the Minnesota Timberwolves. On the other hand, Kevin Durant hasn’t gone far in the playoffs since leaving Golden State and The Phoenix Suns’ bad defense and lack of depth undermines their chances of a deep run.
