you make it seem like these teams have prime Shaq inside the paint. The only thing that they can't stop is a 260 lb Lebron flying down the lane running over people like a tight end playing basketball.
Even though the Jazz aren't there yet they will be the toughest front court the Warriors have to face because of their size and length.

It's not just about post defense. It's rim protection as well. Bogut (and to a lesser extent Ezeli) provided cover at the basket for the GSW perimeter defenders. Bogut had a tremendous impact on several games in the playoffs. He made things difficult at times for LeBron early in the series trying to finish around the basket. His injury was big.
That said, I don't think it changes the Warrior's place as favorites. But it will be something (rim protection) they'll have to figure out/overcome.
