JVG ALWAYS overrates Rox (biased) but at least this year they will be much better ...
Yeah I agree. Need a few more pieces and a different head coach to be championship caliber. And yeah, I hate the warriors![]()

Yeah. Amazing JVG is still so loyal after being fired.
Warriors
Warriors far from elite but can easily run n gun to 5th seed. If steph's paper mache ankles hold up.
I think Golden State will surprise a lot of people next season. If everyone is healthy for them and they trade Lee for some useful role players they could be dangerous. They were pretty good last season and they only got stronger by adding Iguodala and they should see some internal improvement from the development of Barnes.
Curry/Thompson/Iguodala/Lee/Bogut with Barnes as the sixth man is pretty solid. They have two elite defenders in their starting lineup and two elite shooters along with an elite post player (even though he's god-awful on defense). I think they're better than Houston imo
Overrated and overpaid. But with Barnes, Lee, Curry and Klay he can play his role he had at UA ... creator, distributor, defender. I dont think Bogut is anywhere close to 100% (pre-elbow). But not many top 4's in either conference is as solid (offensively) as Gstate if Barnes continues to improve.
I agree to an extent but he's on a team where he will not be the focus of the offense at all and he can do what he excels at. Plus he really is a good perimeter defender, not the best in the NBA but imo he is elite. Him and Bogut together in a starting lineup will be a great defensive pairing. Lee is the massively overrated player on that team imo
I agree. Iggy and Lee are both overpaid. and they will overpay to keep Bogut. So my guess is Klay or Barnes will be gone (eventually) if not both.
Iggy and Bogut are impact defenders at Sf/SG and C.
Iggy, Bogut and even Green are above average defenders for their positions.
Klay and Steph are elite shooters, Barnes is solid.
Not predicting much more than 4/5 (ceiling) in West but they have some pieces ... Curry's ankle is the key.
I hope you put Lee in there on accidentHe is one of the worst defensive players in the entire league. Players feast against him in the post
My bad ...yes I did. he blows and is undersized.
true, if they can trade something decent for lee they become elite, as long as lee is there they are a second round exit if they are really really lucky.
Warriors at 4 or 5 wouldn't surprise me at all. I only see 6 West teams as being locks for the playoffs: Spurs, Thunder, Rockets, Grizzlies, Clippers, Warriors. The dogfight for 7 and 8 will be fun to watch.
The Blazers are better than the Warriors right now. A lot of you are going to be surprised at how good we are this year.
LOL ... Sure, Tlong Blazers will be better until someone blows out an ACL, MCL or PCL ...or all 3.
I hope not ...dont wish injury on anyone ... but history repeats itself.
We're going to be kicking ass and taking names.
Tlong took that Dave Chapelle break from the forum, smoking some good
Hey we had to go through a rebuilding process. We are BACK!
