What's On The Line If The Warriors Finish 16-0?

If the Warriors go 16-0 in this year's playoffs, their argument for "Greatest Team Of All-Time" is pretty strong. Here's a breakdown of what's at stake in the Finals.

After notching two straight blowout wins over the Cavaliers to open the 2017 NBA Finals, the Golden State Warriors are on the cusp of history once again. This time, they're chasing playoff perfection.

Here’s what the fundamentals of the Warriors’ “Greatest Team of All-Time” case would look like if they take Game 3 on Wednesday night and sweep the Cavaliers in Game 4 on Friday to complete their 16-0 run in this year's playoffs.

• Avenged the worst collapse in NBA Finals history with the most dominant postseason run in history
