KD won't average a trip dub. He won't get 10 rebs, he never has before.

Which is even worse, they were playing around and annihilated their supposed biggest threat in the conference by 40 before halftime. Just imagine as the chemistry continues to build and the games actually count. I said they'd win 69, nah 73 may be the floor this year.

Losing by 40 and down by 50+ is never a good thing regardless if it's pre season.

Yeah no one wants to lose by that much, in any kind of setting.

No doubt.. I'm talking bout all the other teams and games.

Yea we've never seen a team this top heavy AND this well coached.
There's an actual system here. Steph Klay & KD aren't taking turns dribbling the air out of the ball. I don't know how they'll be stopped.

But the system wasn't even used when they were in game 7 with 4 minutes left with the game on the line. Will they actually try and use the system?

The system doesn't even matter, only thing making this remotely interesting will be if Steph or KD suffer a major injury.

Yall said this last year and look what happened . History was made and a 3-1 series was blown. They shouldn't have even made it to the finals if it wasn't for Durant choking.
I fully expect Dray to sabotage the team if he doesn't get touches. They not snifing 73 wins again but anything can happen and I might be wrong but it's a long season and during the season or playoffs stuff like injuries, fatigue etc etc
The way yall talk you would of thought this Warriors team was a Celtics, Bulls or Lakers dynasty

Another interesting that should happen is that the Spurs should Leonard to OKC to replace Durant

the system got Harrison Barnes wide open shots. He proceeded to shoot 5-32 over the last three games.
Durant, career 27 ppg on 48/38 splits, will be taking those open shots now.
And you need to rewatch those last 4 mins again. Score was tied up at 89 then:
Steph got a WIIIIIIDE open three off the ball.
Klay got the smaller Kyrie switched onto him.
Iguodala open corner three.
Barnes had an open corner three but had no confidence after only making 5 of his last 32 shots so he pump faked them passed it to a wide open Dray for 3. Remember Barnes is now replaced by Durant.
Barnes guarded by Love so Steph runs with a pick n pop with Barnes.... except Barnes is 5-32 over the last 3 games and just passed on an open corner 3 so Steph ignores the open Barnes and fires up a step back 3. Remember Barnes is now replaced by Durant.
Kyrie then hits that 3 to give CLE the lead.
Next GSW possession they run action to get Love on Steph. As he dances at the top, both Barnes and Iggy are open. Remember Barnes is now replaced by Durant.
System did what it was supposed to do. Frankly, those last 4 mins go a little differently if Durant is out there.

Is this you trying to feel better about the stomping the Rockets put on your Knicks?
Knicks are a brand new team with no defensive scheme or offensive system playing in their first preseason game together
The fact that u put a lot of stock into that is hilarious to say that least
What the rockets did last night is what they will did in the regular season. They were running their offense and playing their superstar player legit minutes
Rockets don't have a a lot of gelling, meshing, and learning to do.
The Knicks do.
GSW are a bunch of betas and front runners and when **** gets tight they crumble. This year it might happen against the rockets before they even get to Cleveland

Even by NT standards, this is impressive
Hate to bring up the Finals again, but those last 4 minutues was on Steve Kerr. Albeit, Curry was hunting for a three and Barnes having no business out there.
As soon as Kyrie hit that 3 to take the lead, Steve Kerr needed to call a timeout immediately. There was still maybe 40-50 seconds left on the clock. And it's not like the Warriors were already in some sort of offensive rhythm where you justify not calling a time out and letting them play through. You're meaning to tell me the Warriors don't have plays they can draw up to get them a quick 2? The Cavs were already struggling on offense from that point on, and only got the momentum once Curry danced around Love.
