If they’re a top 4 team, and capable of winning a round…with a more playoff ready roster. I love their chances.
Let’s 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 haven’t 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 he’s proven he’s more of a positive…up until a certain point. You take your chances with that. He just has to be a vet and do the little things. He’s more than capable of adjusting.
None of what I’m saying is really crazy. You’re betting on the aging core to not make it, and Kerr-Kuminga to not work, and Draymond Cp3 to not work. That’s a lot of hypotheticals.
I’m betting on the professionals and 4x champs, who won 24 months ago.
