2017 "Expert" Predictions

[UZER]

Speaking of predictions, I've seen some people speculate that ratings will go down this season because people are taking it as a foregone conclusion that the Dubs have bought themselves a Championship and therefore, there's no point in watching games outside of their games.

Durant going to GS has definitely killed some of the regular season buzz. I will always watch the Spurs because I'm a die hard fan, but I've already had it to 'here' with the Warriors from the past two seasons and this one hasn't even started yet.

Silver should have made the "Stern" decision then. Missed opportunity for compe ion, as what Stern would have been thinking about, that ...

Forcing Durant to the Sixers would've been poetic justice.

Even living here in the Bay Area, I hear people saying they know they already have this in the bag so they won't bother tuning in to other NBA games besides their Warriors. Like you, I'll continue to watch Spurs games, at least as many as I can living here and will be at the Oracle on Tuesday...but I could really care less about the league. Not that I ever watch much non-Spurs related basketball anyways but this latest attempt at a bought le has killed league interest for me and for many others I'm sure.

I dunno. They're certainly the best team as it stands, but I could honestly see them getting a lot of injuries.

They're going to take every team's best shot every single night. If Durant, Green, or Steph go down, they're by no means unstoppable. And I think that's somewhat likely to happen.

Throw in chemistry issues and they are very beatable.

Stern to KD going to GS:

It's surprising he did that considering how much he always favored the big market teams, tbh.

Well... he did "own" the team that was doing the stupid-ass trade for CP3. He would have looked like a shill for the Lakers, should he have let that trade go through.

Oh yeah, forgot about that key factoid.

Durant going there already trying so hard to be one of the 'cool kids' with his new look-away antics is pathetic. He's like that kid that all of a sudden comes to school one day wearing clothes in a style that no one really buys into. They just feel sorry for him trying so hard.

I don't think they're unstoppable. I'm just tired of them all overall already.

How many times do you think he's going to shoot a 3 and then run back, celebrating, as it's in the air, the 1st game? I expect, at least, once. He's such a faking , and I know faking es...
I hope Pop firmly entrenches Kawhi, firmly, in that old boy's ass. Win, or lose. Give that boy a feel for some D that's coming his way.
