pathetic portland, denver would have been a better test

The Dubs are a better team without KD. There, I said it.
Portland had no business being in the playoffs.
Warriors didn't even play well in my opinion. Portland made horrible decisions and shot themselves out of the game. They don't value possessions. Almost any other playoff team would have beat GS last night. And then late third Portland just gave up. I think what makes Portland better with Nurkic is that he has good playmaking which allows the team to be more fluid.
I understand why GS got Durant but they honestly didn't need him. He adds depth in case Thompson or Curry gets injured but I think they are more dangerous without him. Curry plays more aggressively it seems. I don't have stats to back that up, just my eyes. You're right though, they are so confident in their ability to score that they make careless passes and try to clown their opponents at times. God, I want the Spurs to beat them. I'd rather see Cleveland go back to back than to see GS ever win again. I can't stand the showboating, shoulder-shaking, screaming BS they display on the court. Totally classless imo and filled with fake humble - Kerr included.
Portland's got no shot.
The Blazers suck without Nurkic obviously so the Warriors won't miss Bogut and Ezeli this series. But they will very soon, maybe as early as next round if Gobert is healthy or the Clippers advance.
I think this edition of the Warriors are very beatable................
If the Warriors don't win this year, are they one and done? Is that it for them? They already lost players this season to go after Durant. They are going to have to throw the bank at Curry now on top of re-signing Durant, Green and Klay.
I can see the owners going all in if they win again but if they don't...
That's a good point! Hopefully Kawhi and the Spurs can end this super team like they did with the Heat.
might be a damned if you do or damned if you don't scenario. Was watching that Cowherd and Whitlock Speak for yourself show yesterday and they said if the Dubs were to ring this year without Durant (because of injuries) he might have to leave too. Just a bad narrative for him all the way around. Now I prefer Spurt's scenario but there is another one out there. They hinted why would the owner want to pay max money for something they didn't need to ring?
Maybe Durant would be less willing to take the pay cut needed to bring Iggy and Livingston back given that they all played together and it didn't net the a championship.
I could also see bad teams throw stupid money at Iggy and Livingston as a -you to GSW to try and steal them or ratchet up the asking price.
Either way, the west should be better. This assumes; New Orleans resigns Holiday and added competent shooting, Utah resigns Hayward and Hill, and Minny builds on their late season play- same for Portland.
LAC could go either way; they could add Carmelo, or they could wind up losing CP3 and or Blake.
Would be hilarious if they didn't make him an offer. Tried it out, didn't work and then just spent the money on a solid bench.
Honestly, they are tough now but with a stronger bench? That team would be even scarier.
I seriously doubt that Durant would consider a pay cut. Once these guys have reached that pay level, you aren't bringing them back down. Just look at DWade.
Minny is going to be real good. I don't know if Utah will still be good. I think they hold on to Hayward but, even if they keep Hill, I don't think they will be a threat to anyone. I would be willing to bet that Melo stays in the East but I doubt he cares where he goes as long as they have strippers. I think Clippers are starting on their descent.

Lala got her own place now, had to go for the stripper.
There was a report saying that Iggy is expected to be resigned. That could only happen if he takes $31 million instead of $36 million. I wouldn't put it past beta-max to take a pay cut to keep Iggy and Livingston.
red is as good as gone from L.A. too, and if they lose to utah, they will probably just start overhauling.
Melo also needs to get more money to invest in his campaigns to get on the All Star and national team.
KD is such a got (not in the derogatory sexual context) that he'd probably pull a Lebron and try to go back to OKC. The dude is a Beta and a major follower. He's got the mind and make up of a teenage girl looking for an iden y. One day he's grown-up and contributing $$ to tornado victims or signing an extension before he has to, the next he's in a mosh-pit or yelling at journalists 'cause he's tough. Pffft. Just play basketball and STFU. I don't care for the dude, can you tell ? Same goes for his teammates in GS (Curry, Green). For some reason, I'm alright with Thompson.
If the owner has any balls, he'll fire Doc first and then hire a GM and a Coach. Let a professional decide what players they need instead of Glen's nepotistic ass.
LMAO I am cool with Klay too. Not sure why but I don't hate the guy. The rest can go eat a cawk.
Impossible to keep both Iggy and Livingston given cap holds (no Bird Rights on Durant) unless they come back for the minimum or an exception.
