Dubs broke NBA front office's simulator

[Benoit]

One NBA front office ran simulations, based on player values, for the upcoming season. Cleveland came out with 64 wins, second best in the league. Golden State came out with 83, better than undefeated. They broke the system.

Hahahahahaha good luck guys

[bklynspursfan]

[GSH]

Just cancel the whole damn season and hand out the trophy.

I can't believe Kool is still posting under his Warrior alt.

remember all that shit you talked and then your team choked?

[siraulo23]

seriously how do u defend durant, thompson, and curry? they gonna win the championship

but its gonna be fun to follow the spurs this season (no pressure at all) see if they can give em a good run

You can't defend all of them which is true but you can shut down at least one of them. Also they are rhythm shooters that need a certain amount of shots to get into an offensive flow. Another thing to factor in is all 3 of them are mentally weak and are chronic playoff chokers. With that being said I can see this team choking again. The question is who will they choke against in the playoffs?

[lefty20]

LBJ and Kyrie going supernova is pretty much the only thing that's gonna stop em again this year.

So, SI is basically boasting that they built a sh** simulator.

[Spurtacular]

Cleveland ain't winning 64. Lebron's on the downhill. 58 and less unless the league really is gonna stink.

[Solid D]

Maybe. Maybe not. They will be great but their rim defense might be sketchy without Bogut. Would you feel good about McGee and Pachulia protecting the paint?

[Kawhitstorm]

Duds also broke the record for regular season wins only for Ayesha to get butt fucked by Kyrie.:wakeup

[spursistan]

3-1

[DeRozan m8]

Theres literally not one leader in the team that can stand up in the big big moments.

They added another who admitted he can't play under pressure.

Get ready.

Might even blow a 3-0 lead if ya lucky

Cheers

[Chillen]

Can't deny that with that roster they are definitely the favorites to win it all. It won't mean anything though if they do it, when has a former league MVP decided I need to help a 73 win team get better, lol. Cleveland is supposed to be the team to beat but it really is the Warriors after that unfair to all other NBA teams free agent signing.

Let the 83-0 talk begin, they would just be breaking their own regular season record anyway. They have to go for both regular season and playoffs to be considered the GOAT NBA team, the 1996 Bulls still have it.

Can they be beat in a playoff series, yes. Only 3 NBA teams who can possibly do it are Cavs, Clippers, Spurs. Otherwise no one is gonna beat that lineup, they can only beat themselves.

[GSH]

seriously how do u defend durant, thompson, and curry?


Curry's ankle. (Staying healthy is more important than just about anything, and it's a matter of luck.)
Klay's hot head. (Foul trouble.)
Durant's volume shooting. (Just wait for the fourth quarter, and he'll take all the shots. Make sure they aren't easy ones.)

Those three guys, if they develop chemistry, look just about unbeatable on any given night. But a lot of things happen on the way to an NBA Championship, and nobody has ever won one in the regular season. It was only two seasons ago that Durant played just 27 games. Guys go into shooting slumps. And there's no guarantee that their team will play together seamlessly, especially the first season together. Seriously... there's a reason they make them play the games. And you notice that Benoit only wants to talk about the upcoming season, and not the last one? Seventy-three wins, 3-1 in the Finals, and no LOB? Yeah, I think we should just let them play the season out.

[hater]

still computing next season's prediction in my meta-processor computer.

its definitely between the Cavs and the Worriers.

If Lebron comes in and has a beast season, there's no beating them tbh

Kyrie Irginv is easily the 2nd best player in the league btw

No NBA team going into this season has a roster assembled like the Warriors, it's just simply unfair. However that is why the play the games and the playoffs, it's a grind to the finish line and the best TEAM always is left standing. They still have to play well as a TEAM and win as a TEAM. They will lose games if Durant or Curry try hero ball if the game is close.

[Seventyniner]

Must be a shit simulator if 83-(-1) is a possible output.

[Brian Windhorst]

I think people underrate how important Barnes was to their small lineups. Barnes (and Green) have extremely strong bases that allow them to defend 4's and 5's without getting pushed around. Durant does not. Barnes was one of the only smalls I've seen that LMA couldn't just truck over. This is a problem given that all of their actual bigs (West, Zaza, Varejao, McGee) suck balls.

Point being, without Bogut, if a team can force GSW to go big, they can't field a lineup with 5 good all around players. It will be 4 good all around players and an old POS (or Javale McGee).

That being said, if this truly becomes a problem for them, they'll likely have first choice in the buyout market down the stretch.

[sananspursfan21]

I'm not watching a single game for this reason.

[Benoit]

KD will resign and then the only team that can compete with us in the next 5 years will be the Lakers when Russell and Ingram hit their prime

[Aztecfan03]

You better hope he doesn't resign. You are going to need him. No way he would quit on that money though.

lol two years ago Lebron was said to be on the downhill.

You folks know no limits where stupid is concerned.

Funny thing about that tweet is that Durant's team blew a similar lead so it applies to everyone in the pic.

[spurtech09]

Warriors the new illuminati team of 2016-2017

[Spurtacular]

He was/is on the downhill. This is not 2012 Lebron. Downhill doesn't mean he's not dominant. It means he's not as dominant.

gtfo

Lebron's performance in the Finals last year was truly amazing. You don't chase down Iggy like that late in the game and block his shot that high off the floor if you're "on your way down".

Lebron has a high, flat peak. Stop pretending. We haven't seen a decline yet.

Weren't they supposed to be the same last season? Someone snuffed that shit right out.

Did you forget that Iggy was playing hurt? That's a dunk and not a weak lay-up attempt if he's at full strength. But that's not the point. Anyone who pays attention knows that Lebron has lost a little. GS's choke job doesn't change that. If Lebron was at peak, do you think there'd have been talk in the rs that Curry is better?

Lakes alt confirmed... As if it wasn't already

[Obstructed_View]

Dubs really good in simulators, tbh.

[spurs10]

I wonder if a machine could simulate 73 wins in the RS, being up 3-1 in the Finals and losing? No wonder the machine blew up.

[ismael-robert]

Raptors broke their preseason opener.

[freemeat]

If a team wins 83 games in your 82-game simulator, it means the simulator was broken before you started using it. This is really, really stupid.
