also we've learned that nothing in the super friends era goes smoothly
also a catastrophic injury to curry and durant on the same play

curry's had injuries of varying seriousness, but KD's been pretty durable iirc.

over
― lag∞n, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:13 (seven years ago) link
nah between growing pains and them probably wanting to rest more this year i doubt they win 70
― k3vin k., Monday, 4 July 2016 18:14 (seven years ago) link
theyre gonna have to try to lose games
― lag∞n, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:15 (seven years ago) link
line will prob be at 65 anyway to account for injuries

Miami was 3 guys and junk, this is a top 10 all time player joining a 73 win team.― Matt Armstrong, Monday, July 4, 2016 2:09 PM (6 minutes ago) Bookmark
wait i thought your position was that the warriors supporting cast was junk
― J0rdan S., Monday, 4 July 2016 18:17 (seven years ago) link
see how they fill out their roster n all but that team is favored against almost everyone even with one of kd or steph sitting
― lag∞n, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:17 (seven years ago) link
even if KD had one back there only would have been 3 teams w/ a chance of winning the title. saying the league is now anti-competitive feels arbitrary.

It is, and they just added Durant.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:18 (seven years ago) link
there's distinct chance that we saw peak curry last season and klay has topped out, so even with kd, the dubs may be several games shy of matching 73 next season. plus, they'll save a bit more juice for the offs than they did last season.

when 3 teams are competing for the title thats competition

There would have been at least 4 teams in the mix. Spurs/Thunder/Cavs/Warriors
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:21 (seven years ago) link
tru too
― lag∞n, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:21 (seven years ago) link
i don't see how the spurs do or would have had a better chance than they had last season
― J0rdan S., Monday, 4 July 2016 18:23 (seven years ago) link
but the cavs lost moz.gov and delly, worth $100 million between them, so they're relegated next season
― a little too mature to be cute (Aimless), Monday, 4 July 2016 18:23 (seven years ago) link
i'd go under on 70 too. they will need time to mesh.
They don't need to be better to have a good chance.
― Matt Armstrong, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:24 (seven years ago) link
have a feeling adding a perennial mvp candidate that does everything perfectly to a team that already plays on a string wont be that hard
― lag∞n, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:25 (seven years ago) link
this is not a miami or boston (who won the title in their first year and started out scorching btw) all new team type scenario
― lag∞n, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:26 (seven years ago) link
I think we all agree that dubs plus kd will be a very strong team and the odds on favorite to win it all, regardless of whether they beat 73 wins next season. They'll win enough to be the #1 seed with home court all through and that's all that matters. against all expectation, the dubs struggled in the offs this year and lost, so not every crystal ball tells the truth, ok?

LMA last year and Pau now keeps the Spurs very relevant, imo. The old big three can take another step back from carrying that load.

jazz shld have better odds than some of those other wc teams

jazz too slow, not enough playmaking or shooting, great defensive team tho def

actually i didnt examine the whole list its def fd up whare the pelicans doing in there

i almost put money on the thunder the other day cuz i thought kd was going back there and the odds were attractive. i guess i might throw something on the clippers but man it is very very hard to imagine we don't get round dubs-cavs round three.
