Fuck yes this team will steam roll the playoffs??
dude this isnt fantasy basketball, where the starters are on one line, and the reserves on the other.
 
maybe cc or buzzy will know if this is wrong, but are there possessions where Durant, Klay, and Curry are all on the bench and the warriors are still trying to compete? they'll stagger their guys around

it'd be interesting to see stats from their first unit vs. their second unit. CP3 runs the second unit when Harden is on the bench. They are rarely both sitting. But the drop off from Klay to Swaggy P is a big one, as is the drop off for the rest. The GSW bench isnt as strong as it has been in recent years, but it is solid enough when you consider their 4 all-stars

They definitely have done it in the regular season, but definitely wont in the playoffs in a competitive series

I am honored that you think I'd know any of that

Because as we all know, McGee and West are the cornerstones of that franchise.

He is, but I always assumed he did that on purpose to allow the team more flexibility in the offseason. He seemed very committed to the organization at the time he signed.

the rumor seems to be he took an inflated one year deal so they can sign him semi-long term after they try and add to the team this offseason

I feel like fultz is the xfactor

If he can prove he has his shot back, bron to philly makes a ton of sense

This is the second Bulls game I've actually watched this year, and my first takeaway is that Denzel Valentine is probably the worst player in the league, currently.

That was definitely a travel, right?
 
Two turnovers for the price of one.

I can't think of any basketball player ever who lost more money in valuation than Isaiah has over the past year
 
He was a $100M guy last year when he was dropping 29ppg for Boston. Now its debatable whether he'll earn more this offseason than Marcus Smart will
