45 minutes in and enjoying this.
Steph is 35 and his durability is declining.Team aināt good pleighboi.Itās fun to be pessimistic on the warriors in 2023-2024. I know.
But you all love counting them out. A core of 7-8 guys who know how to play basketball this season are coming in fresh. And Steph curry is on that team.
The idea that they canāt jump out to a good start, as being comedy is funny to me. But oh well! Yāall never get tired of being wrong
That's what happens when an organization hires an idiot for a GM.You and Brosizzlew30.23
He threw him in the bushes during the regular season AND during the playoffs. The kid demanded a trade in the offseason. You going to really tell me that everything is good there?(Kerr hates Kuminga) .
Right there for what exactly? They finished 6th last year and are a year older and relying on CP, who also canāt stay healthy. Plus got smoked by a 7th seed Lakers team in R2. You been talking ānumber 5 on the way!ā, so that was the expectation Iām basing it on. If itās just to make the Top 4-5 and win a round in the playoffs, then sure that could happen again.I mean, seriously. Look at yāall right now . I get being down on them, because they are an aging coreā¦but theyāre right there.
It won't be long til Klay, Kerr, and possibly even Steph leave GSW. I give it 2 years and they will blow up that core.
The problem with cp3 is he has no rizz in the locker room. He makes opps with the gang gang and they treat him like an npc halfway thru the season. Ngl but this season is just a side quest for him to take drip from Steph. No cap
We are not meant to understand these kids, same way our parents didnāt understand a lot our interests. Itās a fact of life.
Yāall sounding old as hell in here, ong

They may not mind in 2 years, but even when they rebuild in 3 years and if Dunleavy continues with the small ball, it ain't gonna work.I donāt think they will mind losing a 35 year old klay, 35 yr old Dray, and 37 yr old Steph
Those 2nd/3rd tiers have a lot of overlap, IMO. Might even bump Grizz up and move Kings/Clips down. Tempted to say the same with NOP but I just canāt fully trust Zion. Those tiers are just close.Tiers of the west:
Nuggets-Suns-Lakers
Warriors-Clippers-Kings-T'Wolves
Mavericks-Grizzlies-Pelicans-Thunder
Rockets-Jazz
Blazers-Spurs

Bro, I hated to be wrong about them last year when I had picked them to win it all
Now theyāve lost a player in Poole who helped them get that ring to begin with. Replaced him with old parts while the core got older too
If Steph pulls this off heās double goatād and credited for 1.5 rings
Actually Listening to these 2 cornball for almost 2 hrs
Steph is 35 and his durability is declining.Team aināt good pleighboi.
Itās more so who they replaced Poole withIf theyāre a top 4 team, and capable of winning a roundā¦with a more playoff ready roster. I love their chances.
Letās be realistic on their ceilings here. They have one of the 3 best players in the league. One of the best coaches, and a core with continuity and chemistry. Plus emerging young talent. You know, the Kuminga thing COULD WORK. Not like we havenāt seen it before. Especially with players growing. He and moody will be better. Which is a plus. Klay seems to be back now. Steph is Steph (stay as healthy as possible). And Draymond is declining (real issue). It is not absurd to think this team is a conference finals team. And when there, I like their chances against the field.
Say what you want about cp3, but heās proven heās more of a positiveā¦up until a certain point. You take your chances with that. He just has to be a vet and do the little things. Heās more than capable of adjusting.
None of what Iām saying is really crazy. Youāre betting on the aging core to not make it, and Kerr-Kuminga to not work, and Draymond Cp3 to not work. Thatās a lot of hypotheticals.
Iām betting on the professionals and 4x champs, who won 24 months ago.
Never count out the Dubz but Steph is the only reliable guy on that team. Klay is very on and mostly off, Wiggins will miss a ton of games and is very inconsistent, Dray isnāt the player he once was and his real value is in the playoffs not the regular season. Father Time has caught up with Chris. He can only give you short bursts. Kerrs Team USA adventure shows he needs certain talent to win. As much as people hate on Poole him and Steph carried them to that last championship
Itās more so who they replaced Poole with
Poole was what he was last season but if youāre losing him for older parts that arenāt certainly upgrades then yeah- not optimistic imo
Weāre both literally betting on hypotheticals . But Kerr and Kuminga had issues last year. I didnāt mention Dray and CP not working. Dray is Dray. Defensive asset and massive offensive liability in the 16. CP has shown that you canāt rely on his health for a full 82 + 16 at this stage of his career. I think your hypotheticals for THIS team to win it are much more unlikely than mine. What happened 2 years ago isnāt really relevant for this current team, but I digress. Steph being Steph always gives you a theoretical shot, I just think itās remote with this roster.Youāre betting on the aging core to not make it, and Kerr-Kuminga to not work, and Draymond Cp3 to not work. Thatās a lot of hypotheticals.
paul is 37 and had 41/32/50 splits in the playoffsBut Poole wasnāt even playable in the playoffs. Remember, he forgot how to shoot? We thought he had the yips..and he was trying even less, to not play defense.
Chris Paul at his age is many things, but heās not doing THAT. Those are like the margin things we talk about that matter in playoff times. Like Looney rebounds, or GpII defense. Stuff yāall laugh about on this board, but prove to matter.
Step back for a minute, and look at the warriors from a more optimistic lense. There is a lot to like there.
I wouldnāt count them out. Yāall do it ALL THE TIME THO
