The warriors weren’t as bad as people advertised last year. If draymond didn’t get suspended for nearly half the year they would’ve been a 5-6 seed. Somehow Klay got the brunt of the blame even though he was available and put up good offensive numbers

[@tjones8778]

I disagree tbh we should have still been able to win games without Dray

[@IsaacFleming-o5o]

The Warriors done stick a fork in them done That team is Azz Bum Trash what ever you want to call them. That trash Roster If they go the whole season with that Roster They want even make the damn Play In. Y'all kill me hyping Steph up too when he can't lead them to Victories when Green and Klay didn't Play. Y'all so worried bout Steph. Man he a One Trick Pony.. All Steph does good is Shoot threes and barely shoot midrange and he barely got to the rim. So if that 3 ball not falling Steph is Trash without that 3 ball. Watch this Season when his shot not falling. Watch and I don't want no excuses bout who ever didn't show up cause It ain't like Steph create scoring opportunities for anybody else on the team

Dubs are better than last year. They let the Big 3 run to the ground before ending it and I respect that. Now they’ve pivoted, and if they add Lauri they’ll be back in title contention.

Lauri isn’t realistic without giving up their good players I rather stay as is than get Lauri who’s up for a big contract anyway and doesn’t even wanna leave Utah

[@RomanDavidovich]

GS hasnt bothered to add a BIG to make them actual contenders in the west. Put this team in a 7 game series vs any team in the west you can think of, the warriors are still too small. Even with Cuminga having a break out year, this team wont beat bigger teams in the west. If GS fails to build around curry , now that hes getting older i wouldnt blame him for leaving or asking for a trade

[@AAblade7]

What western conference are these guys looking at? 1. Portland and Utah are in the Cooper Flag tankathon 2. The Clippers without a healthy Kawhi are not making the playin. So odds of a healthy Kawhi? 3. The Rockets did nothing with one of the worse shooting rosters last season 4. The Grizzlies get back Ja, but are missing that elite bench unit that made them a championship contender 2 years ago. 5. The Lakers big improvement was a draft pick who can shoot, but not much else. Just like Wood and Tucker were going to solve things 6. The Pelicans got a steal in Murray, but any injury to Zion and they are play in at best. That and CJ is probably getting a lot of Fan hate for possibly the dumbest negotiated CBA in NBA history. 7. The Suns did nothing and still have no depth 8. The Spurs have a lot of promise. I do think VW will improve a lot and CP3/Barnes will improve the team a lot. Unfortunately its still not enough to take a 22 win team to above 40 wins 9. The Kings improved at least talent wise from Barnes to DeRozan. System fit wise though? 10. The Mavs made some interesting changes. They finally got a decent defense and the got rid of it after getting to the finals. If JK actually improves the offball motion of the offense then all these changes were worth it. If not? Then most likely they aren’t making it past the 2nd round. 11. The Nuggets are what 70% of what they were 2 years ago? 12. The T-Wolves stayed pat, but looks like they will still have issues with their Half-Court offense. 13. The Thunder had an excellent offseason and should be the favorite out of the west. Now how does a team that added 3 solid rotational pieces to a team that was 5 wins away from 1st round home court advantage not be considered a contender?

[@tjones8778]

I agree when you think about half of the west got better the other half didn’t

[@split_head_776]

People ignore how close the seedings were just to hate. No one utters a word about the Lakers being glued to the play in despite having AD and LeBron on the roster. Few teams had a similar detriment of missing their best defender for 20 games

[@tonyolise5926]

Warriors need 2 big centre that could serve as Bogut, Zaza, Magee... Atleast warriors have always had 2 bigs in the team

[@ITzTricky_x]

They have not. What Curry has needed for sometime is a competent BIG man , if they had someone on 2016 Bogut level or better, they would still be cruising .

[@arthure.andrews8978]

Dubs are gettin pretty good since last year After klay Thompson gone went over to Dallas mavericks by letting big 3 be on the run into the ground while ended it now its like they'd need some depth proper situation in order to add Lauri most likely this team are gotta be right back in title contention..just something there Complete the puzdle cant solved yet

The GM is not proving to be a wheel and dealer yet. Most teams have starting 5s who all can score. Not so much with GSW.
