Now that the best PG in the world and KD are Back, I expect them to make the playoffs and ultimately play the spurs again in the Conference finals...
Regular season is boring as fuk knowing there's only one legit team to be worried about..
Regular season is boring..it always is..there's the few teams that are hyped up, and there are those that hover around .500, then there are those that blatantly tank..My Thunder are the only team capable of dethroning the Spurs..The Mavs are next, if they can catch fire and the Spurs play a not so stellar series..nobody in the East will challenge whoever comes out of the West..those teams are too flawed..
Raider pls post "the gif", I'm on the road
GSW is definitely a legit threat. I though they could make the WCF if the bracket breaks right for them. Now they look much better than anyone expected. The depth on the roster is strong. Curry is tough to defend and they have 5 wings that are at least 6'7 and all of the are good defenders.
I'd take a health GSW over OKC IMO.
A healthy OKC is the 2nd best team in the league. Green and Whi would D up on those "superstars"
OKC beats them in 5 if not in 6 games tops.
If Green and Kawhi shut down Curry/Klay who takes over? Teams with PGs as their best player don't win les tbh. Parker got close but that's about it.
Of course IT and Magic but since then no one else.
Unless they get hot
Yeah they got hot in 2013 too, you know how that turned out.
Warriors won't win , a point guard chucking is not conducive to playoff success. They're being overrated because they're the gy casual/RealGM fans' favorite team and because the media hasn't turned on Curry yet.
Why anybody considers the Warriors a legit contender is laughable
They will if Long shuts him down in the playoffs. You can tell Kerr is implementing Pop's motion offense. Let's hope Alvin Gentry doesn't turn Kerr into a suckup. Gentry's only mistake was kissing & praising Kobe's ass during a playoff series. That was hard to watch. They had the talent to beat the Lakers that year.
I think Golden State is legit. Livingston hasn't even gelled completely yet, but having him and Iggy on the second team is impressive. They've pretty much improved in every department as a team, and they're still young. Definitely a threat.
LMAO at referrng to them as Rogues' Thunder lol. As if he has anything to do with their approach, gameplan or success. LMAO.
he's averaging 16 shot attempts per game (on 49% from the field) along with 8 assists. i dont get how you consider that being a chucking point guard. after a terrible start to the season in the turnover department (early season rust, new offense COULD be factors) he's cut down on them, only averaging about 2 a game over the last 7
GSW is a threat in the West, but the playoffs come down to matchups. A healthy Spurs squad will give them fits though, because we're the only team in the West who can simultaneously defend Curry and Thompson with elite defenders. Getting Splitter back would be huge against them since they love to run high pick and rolls where Duncan struggles.
The Grizzlies would also be a difficult matchup for Golden State to keep up with, unless they get insanely hot from 3 (which is entirely possible). The Grizz can also defend them well, but the Spurs can apply pressure by scoring way more than Memphis can

Cant even make this up!
The Warriors size on the perimeter means that Parker will likely have to guard guard Curry more often or face post ups from Thompson, Iggy or Livingston. Their offense is fairly balanced, but if both get shut down then they probably lose. If Duncan/Manu and Parker get shut down it generally doesn't bode well in the playoffs either.
My post was about OKC though, their size and length could make it difficult for Westbrook and Jackson and they could dictate lineups that OKC plays. Westbrook would either have to guard Curry or Livingston or and Jackson may have to guard Thompson.
Thunder ain't even in the playoff picture.
Doubt it I could see GSW taking OKC in 6 or 7 with home court.
We would probably beat OKC and GSW but still believe that GSW would beat OKC in a series.
