Validate? That can be argued about any team. And it's not even clear what's being argued. 67 regular season wins validates the Warriors THIS year.
In the playoffs, they took on all comers, and defeated them how ever they found them. That said, I think that Dubs will have to improve to repeat. Teams will know their personnel and their schemes, and they won't be able to surprise anybody with an unorthodox style of play.
Will be interesting to see how (or whether) this year's playoff experience matures young players like Thompson, Green, and even Curry, and whether it hardens them into ruthless playoff warriors.
Are they a dynasty? Probably not.
Are they likely to be repeat? Odds are usually against it, but they can easily be in the mix.
