i'm gonna predict less than 70 wins for the warriors

competition is an illusion in the NBA

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

Miami was 3 guys and junk, this is a top 10 all time player joining a 73 win team.

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

We were so close to GSW matching a max contract offer for their 7th best player

yeah whatever the o/u ends up being i am gonna bet the under for sure

k3vin k., Monday, 4 July 2016 18:13 (seven years ago) link

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

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

lag∞n, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:20 (seven years ago) link

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?

Malone-Payton lakers were crushing it before malone's extremely unlucky and flukey injury

Free agent Pau Gasol is finalzing a deal with the San Antonio Spurs, league sources tell @TheVertical.

twitter shd have a special praying for curry injury emoji that attaches itself to every free agent announcement

Final Zing

Matt Armstrong, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:39 (seven years ago) link

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

ciderpress, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:50 (seven years ago) link

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

lag∞n, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:51 (seven years ago) link

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

lag∞n, Monday, 4 July 2016 18:52 (seven years ago) link

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.

balls, Monday, 4 July 2016 19:07 (seven years ago) link

odds don't matter after the top 3-4 teams lol

k3vin k., Monday, 4 July 2016 19:11 (seven years ago) link

ugh bulls

nomar, Monday, 4 July 2016 19:16 (seven years ago) link

we had a decent run for awhile there i guess
