Breh I really really think we got a team.

Don't know if it's championship quality but it's definitely playoff quality. Too much depth
they're not. 1st round exit. With Hield they are a good team though. i won't be able to bet on Steph's 3 pointers as much this year because 1, he's getting older, and 2, he doesn't have to carry them as much this year

It’s a cotdamn shame the front office has taken this long to give Kerr, Steph and Dray a proper support cast. These are the type of players they should’ve surrounded them with ever since KD left.

Better late than never, I guess.

Sounds premature, but it's a very good sign they are blowing teams out. Even the preseason games...

I think this team is markedly better than last years. More athleticism and more weapons offensively. Defense can't just zone in on steph, and I think this team is playing better without recent years Klay bogging things down in many ways.

I also think buddy is a better player than Poole was in his 2022 season, and we needed that. And Kuminga and moody actually will be utilized this season fully. I'm calling a wayyy better season than last year.

It’s not what you win it’s how you win… Yeah blazers are doo doo but we played a lot of doo doo teams last season where we had no business being in close games with them vs this season we blowing shyt teams out… thats the difference
Exactly, even those preseason games showed something. I was looking at the blowouts. Not wins. Thats what shows you can just beat those teams IMO.

And they did it to sac and lakers twice. Being cautiously optimistic but that means something. Plus you can look at the team logically

Buddy is just a better pickup than what klay has been recently...you can just tell. We rarely ever had a 2nd dude that can shoot 3's off the dribble and handle the ball like this since Poole in 2022, which buddy is a better shooter than. (And of course KD, but I'm not saying he's KD).

We also weren't playing kuminga as much last season until later on. He's a weapon now, along with moody, and Wiggins might...might actually play waaayyy better with this team, because he seems like a vibes guy. So the team isn't this slow no option team like when we had Dario saric and Chris Paul on the court. It's just maaad diffdifferent, and defenses can't just zone in on steph.

it was the blazers so i'm not going to get too excited but this 2nd unit looked good. if they can play at this level vs the top teams then warriors can hang with any team. kuminga still playing like a maniac out there and killing the flow of the offense. i hope the warriors can package him with another player and/or picks for a all star level player.

I’ll believe when I see it. If Steph can get a chip with this roster, he’s the GOAT, idc
