So with Russell and Curry, plus Thompson out for most of next season, Warriors completely gave up on defense at the guard positions. Interesting move.
Has to be the one of, if not the most unbalanced team I've ever seen. Legitimately one of the best offenses ever, but gave up dunks/layups almost at will

curry isn't a defensive liability or anything like that. he's average on that end. you talk about him like he's suns nash
Especially for their time when the NBA was just coming out of its all-time defensive peak. It wasn't like the freewheeling '80s or today where the average games were played in the 110s. Cuban took over the Mavs and thought he could use smallball, long range shooting at all 5 positions (Dirk's backup LaFrentz shot the 3 as well) to bring back run-n-gun showtime and it worked to an extent, no they didn't ever win a ship or make the Finals but they were fun as to watch and pretty damn compe ive. They were by far the best team in the league in 2002-03 up until the all star break. And even in the playoffs, the Mavs probably win that championship if Dirk doesn't go down.Has to be the one of, if not the most unbalanced team I've ever seen.

People credit D'Antoni for the rise of "today's NBA" but the early 00s Mavs with Nellie were actually the precursor and calalyst to that. The Avery Johnson Mavs years, on the other hand... that was some painful, ghastly, eyesore iso basketball that was only often bailed out by Dirk's greatness.

As great a recap of the pre-Carlisle Dirk years as I have seen.
such a weird move.. i think it's more about pride than anything... they just took what they could basically
There was nothing better out there for them. They're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. Their core is still too young to blow it up, they have a new arena to fill, but also not good enough to contend next year. So they get a young asset and see how it goes.
I'd try to keep Boogie as well if I was them.
The solution was to get Shimmy Walker / Jamison the following summerHas to be the one of, if not the most unbalanced team I've ever seen. Legitimately one of the best offenses ever, but gave up dunks/layups almost at will
He got curbstomped by Fred VanVleet, his defense is atrocious.
Russell, 23, still raises maturity questions. In May, he was cited for marijuana possession after TSA agents at New York’s LaGuardia Airport say they found less than 50 grams hidden in a secret compartment of a fake Arizona Iced Tea can while Russell was going through a security check.
But he’s not gotten into any serious trouble, and his play has certainly earned him the reward of a big contract.
He fit in cal
Kerr, and that structure there would be the wise choice to straighten him out, set him on a career path of goodness, but, is it too late there, is State jumbled & torn, ready to pivot? (That) was as good as it gets & it will never get (that) good again.
What if the Warriors trade D Lo ?
They may... once Klay returns
Can't resign Donkey without moving him
He somehow played decent isolation D against Harden both times they met
Playoff Harden is a self-check.
He averaged 35-7-6 on 60% TS
In other words, Steph didn’t play good defense against him.
And they won all
