Well, it may not the best team ever, but golly they were sure good, and came together at the most appropriate time.
It's a good thing you qualified that, given that the 74-75 Warriors were a 48-34 team that outscored its opponents by 3 points a game. And they didn't exactly "wipe out" the Bullets - they won by 6, 1, 8, and 1. It's kind of like saying that the '83 Wolfpack is the best team ever because they beat a highly favored Houston team.
