yeah I don't think Warriors are much different of a team than last year., maybe slightly worse but not a meaningfully different caliber of team overall by any stretch....They ran good in the Memph series winning the close Dray ejection game, lost it in the Sac series, Morant died, played Dallas after Suns meltdown, ran pretty good...None of their players are meaningfully worse, lost Otto Porter, added Donte. Everything else close to a wash.

If anything, Curry was better this year than last year.

I felt last year was a fluke for the Warriors in a few different ways but one was certainly running good in their path. I also feel the Celtics were a much more talented team and just choked.

I saw little chance they get past the Lakers. It's terrible to say, but that trade made them too big and strong for GS. The free throw discrepancy was absurd regardless of whether they ever really attacked the basket. The TNT crew was wrong saying they will just have to hit more 3s, they're going to have to get inside and have cutters to dump it off too just like they did against Menphis last year (similar type team as LA)

Steph is superhuman.

He also needs to be more aggressive for them to win. Screw this "be the decoy" type ****. Man up, put up 30+++ shots and give zero ****s. Winners always want the ball anyway. So be a winner.

Kerr on the other hand will be too busy smelling his own farts to convey such a message to Steph.

His conditioning is remarkable, probably the best in the league, and certainly the best for his age. But even he has limits.

His unwillingness to be a black hole and put up a bunch of lazy shots every game also is a part of the reason why the system works. People buy into the ball movement in large part because he is not that guy.

I'm tempted to agree, but I don't.

Poole seems a little fragile. I think you have to make him believe he is going to play well in order to get the best out of him. The good version of Poole is going to suck on defense, make bad decisions, and play out of control on occasion. But you at least have some chance of getting the good parts.

If you beat on him, I think he will press and be totally unplayable.

In the long term, I'm done with him. I just don't believe in the upside any more.

We have approximately 100 games of evidence now that Klay is no longer capable of finishing in heavy traffic on cuts to the basket. But by all means, keep trying.

Maybe he is referring to Kerr rolling Green out there early? Not sure.

He apparently is important to the team for reasons that are entirely indiscernible to anyone outside the team.

Here comes the blowout. Lakers should have won that game by 20 in game 1 but let GS stick around. Bron knows if he gives max effort and they steal this one the role players can carry at home.

Draymond has to be worth a flying **** for GS to win this series.

Oh and scrubs like Rui can't bomb 3s

Curry really should abuse Vanderbilt. Nice to see.

So Lebron is just pulling an 06 pistons game out his ass tonight. Wonderful
