Exactly OV. Big Ball those fools. Slow the game down and limit their shooting pace.
Yeah. If it's the Cavs again in the Finals, James is going to utterly destroy the Warriors, I don't care how many deep bombs Curry and Durant throw.

If you're talking about him starting or being 6th -11th man, sure. But in the role of 12th/13th man? He'd be the Jason Caffey of the Warriors... Durant would get more minutes at C than he would.
I hope he ends up in golden state. Their interior defense is already bad. Adding west makes it the worst
LOL. Doofus.
This is how you match up against GSW: You tank for the next 6 years and do not even try to compete...
that . We have at least a one year window to account for the inevitable chemistry issues. It's happened to every super team so far.
They got Zaza. Game over.
Honestly, I'm not giving up on the Spurs, but this is getting ridiculous.
You don't. Durant punked out and made this a piece of cake to win a le.
With the 4 they will have on the court at the same time, there is no stopping them whatsoever. None.
Well at least we'll get to see if Boban is any good.
I'm actually leaning to the side of going old school and running 2 bigs out there. I know today's nba is all about small ball but no matter what we are not matching gsw with small ball. No matter what small line up we pit out there gsw are going to be much better without it.
there is only 1 ball. How long have you guys been watching basketball? It's not as simple as, "add player here and add his shots". If KD is willing to decrease his shots and iso moments, it can work, but I don't see it. That means Thompson is bumped to a 3rd option. They're gonna be dangerous, but I'd be more concerned if GS had gotten Whiteside. That is what I was most concerned about. Adding KD did not solve their interiour defense, which sucked without Bogut last year. Defense still wins championships. Curry, Thompson, and Barnes were all locked down in game 7. I'm really not concerned about KD going to the warriors. The only thing I'm concerened with is if Popovich will allow Parker to run crazy on offense ing us us in the 4th. We've got to stop them from scoring and they've got to stop us as well.
Adding Durant doesn't make the Dubs unbeatable. Some posters are commenting on this thread acting like there is no way to possibly defeat them now that they have Durant. You still have to play the game. The problem the Spurs had offensively last year against them is no motion on offense and not stopping them in transition. If the Spurs maybe learn how to pick and roll again plus compete on defense and gang rebound, you have as good a chance to beat them as anyone does. The Warriors got exposed this playoffs for the weaknesses in their system. If anything, now every team is going to be more prepared for them and they have a much larger bulls-eye on them then even the defending champions. The Spurs should focus on being a complete team rather than just a team that shoots threes in transition. Get high percentage shots. Pop may have to learn to abandon his reluctance to offensive rebound. Rebounding killed us last year and if we miss a shot, I would much rather us give up a fast break as a result of trying to get an offensive rebound. Our team needs to go back to fundamentals. That is who we are. That is why we have been successful for as long as we have been. Make sure you do the little things to win games and not make mental mistakes.
^^^THIS.
Exactly. Only one more player can have the ball at any given time. If you play great team defense you can negate one player with the ball.Adding Durant now makes it interesting to see how the shot selection is going to pan out. The Spurs need to reclaim their iden y. They looked fearful of the Warriors last year and played with hesitation. They need to just go out and compete and let the chips fall where they may.
The "there's only one ball" is so played out as an argument with superteams, especially this one, which is the greatest NBA superteam on paper of all time. Yes, of course there's only one ing ball but that goes for every team in the league. At any given moment, the Dubs will have a player with the ball that will know what to do with it while there will be moments we'll have unproven guys like Bertans and Murray with that one ball. I'd much favor the Dubs chances in that "one ball" theory.
So you've stated your opinion. Now what part of the text that you quoted do you think is wrong?
The one ball argument works with certain teams. The last time I recall using it was when Iverson was traded to Denver. When you had two guys whose egos are tied into how many shot attempts they get, it's not going to work. They suddenly aren't going to become "share-the-ball" guys. Durant has been through all this bull with Westbrook, so you know he doesn't care about his own shots at this point. The Warriors are all share-the-ball guys that just want to win. Given the way they've performed in big games, they might like having Durant around to bail them out if it gets tight.
I don't think that any jump shooting team is unbeatable.
This feels like people confusing him with Willis Reed (just as the Knicks FO probably confused Renaldo Balkman with Rolando Blackman.
do you remember the 2000 trailblazers? the 2011 heat? the 2004 Lakers. Once again, you can't just add a player in and say, "here are all of his points, just add it to the team and there you have it". It doesn't work that way. If that's the case, Adding West and Aldridge would have been an extra 34ppg for us last season.
btw, I just read GS added west
Don't usually quote myself, but
I know that I am.Don't usually quote myself, but
Hopefully that Lasik surgery Danny had gets his three ball to go in.
Too much to be made of Durant going to GS IMO. He would have helped a team looking in at the playoffs a lot more than a team that won 73 last season.
You beat them with execution and ball movement.
