A welcome change from following Chelsea and being relieved when you win as opposed to being happy.

Still adjusting bro.
Although I don't want to frazzle my brain and end up on a Chelsea forum calling the squad a roster and getting accused of being a know-nothing Yank.
You'll be calling a manager a coach in no time

Yeah it's good, but after a while it's just dry as fukk, knowing your team has no chance to do anything worthwhile. At least with Football, there are Cup competitions.
Other than liking the game it's almost pointless being a fan of an NBA team, unless it's one of the big boys.

Rather that than interim first team manager tbh.
Rappers jumping on r'n'b songs is the fukking worst when you;re trying to look for actual decent remixes.
Nah.
But I thought American sports was supposed to be über-competitive with all its communist ways?
Aren't the Thunder a good example of a small team becoming good with smart management?
So are the Heetz. The "problem" is that quality players have an overbewaring influence on the games. You could argue it's problematic that Lakers were able to gewt Kobe, Gasol and nearly Chris Paul though. Before that, Wilt and Kareem tbf. Only other team you could criticize is maybe the KG to Boston trade being a tad sheisty.But I thought American sports was supposed to be über-competitive with all its communist ways?

The NBA has the least parity of all the major sports. Teams that win titles typically win 2-3.
The parity is increasing, though. I find it hard to see the Heat winning this year, which would make three years of different champions. Not sure when's the last time that happened.

Golden State will be fine
They will have to trade one of Klay Thompson or stiff hips but thy good long term with the crew they have. They aren't good enough to do anything in the playoffs tho. They dont have that one superstar to set them apart. No one on that roster is that good to make a big enough difference, IMO.
Small market teams can compete if they have smart front offices but the first move is drafting that superstar player. The superstar player is always the hard piece to find.
Now if Bogut could comeback and be a 75 percent the player he was, the. They could be a problem.

Actually just checked, the last time three different NBA teams won titles in successive years is 81-83 when it went Celtics-Lakers-Sixers.

Shoot, Memphis is a small market team and they probably the 2nd best team out west. The. You have OKC and San Antonio as well.
Yeah good point. Although on the other hand every sport has marquee teams that will always be there or thereabouts. Doesn't stop other teams from making smart decisions and scouting properly. Bit of a cop-out to think otherwise tbh. Some of the contracts given out are just ludicrous.
