I'm noticing a pattern here. :jbhmm:

Golden State loses: "They have no bench, no size, there bigs suck, they don't play defense, X team is gonna destroy the inside"

Golden State wins: "KDs a bytch, they're supposed to win they have 2 MVPs, this team is so stacked man, the regular season is ruined!"

:jbhmm:
I mean yes, this season might end up being a challenge for them. And if the Warriors have chemistry issues and still win the finals, we'll have to respect KD and/or Steph.

But its the most unnecessary challenge ever. The team was literally perfect last year and they had some bad luck and poor decision in the finals :what:

Smallball era was like the wildcat and read option muthafukkas thought that shyt was gonna last:jawalrus:

The read option did last though. A ton of teams are still using it. :what:




And don't act like the Warriors invented smallball. Heat won two titles playing small ball, and Cavs were basically playing without a center all year last year. Didn't bother to get one this year either, so it looks like they think it's going to work for them just fine.

Who are these ton of teams ? What chips have they won. I mean it as their primary running game like Old San Francisco and Seattle.

Thompson and Love Bosh are real power forward Green is a tweener and when they won they only chip with Greene playing the five and Iggy playing the four no way that shyt works now.

It was a back to back game. That being said even against OKC it was clear that Adams was dominating the paint early. Yea GS gonna score a lot but the defense isn't there this time...and that could fukk them big time.

It's still too early to say much but clearly teams that can get into a shootout with them have a chance.

You being a passive aggressive stan-boy for the Warriors is also a pattern.

The team has clear issues. Green is already frustrated and so is Klay. KD is a great offensive player but he's not a big-man. He doesn't have big-man tendencies and it's going to be hard for him to develop them at this point in his career. This is another aspect that separates Lebron from KD. The league doesn't fear this team because they have glaring holes.

Green is frustrated? Thats news to me and every other Warrior fan.

Klays frustration is due to being in a self imposed slump. Not even the biggest hater can blame KD for klay missing wide open practice 3's

The Cavs are a smallball team :ld: they were actually smaller than the Warriors last year and with the loss of Mozgov they're even smaller this year. Right now the Warriors don't have a center that can defend and it puts a huge strain on Green to cover for everyone else.

The size argument is overrated. it's not like bogut was playing a lot. Their bench being weaker is a lot bigger of a problem.


still, the season isnt even 8 games deep yet. relax


Nah, the difference in centers this year and last is huge, last year when Bogut didn't play they still had Ezeli, those two held opponents to 45% and 44% at the rim, even Speights was decent at 49%. The league leader last year was Gobert at 41%, Bogut was an elite defender last year, and Ezeli was good as well. This year Green is still elite holding opponents to 43%, but the problem is Zaza....teams are shooting 61% at the rim vs him, and the supposed big signing of JaVale McGee like @G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman is giving up 75% :scust:


They have a huge problem with their centers, they went from having an excellent defensive rotation of bigs, to having just one undersized PF who is elite but cannot make up for having a sieve next to him.

The Spurs and believe it or not, the Clippers might have a shot now that the Warriors interior is so putrid. These dudes are getting absolutely crushed in the paint right now, last year they were +2.3 on the glass, they are -3.1 and Zaza ain't changing that. Unless another Hassan Whiteside just falls out the NBDL and into their lap they have some serious issues on the boards & in the interior that I can't see going away.
