2015-16 NBA Western Conference OFFICIAL THREAD

[ManuForever]

Yup. Get back to being the best defensive team like you were last year. We already know that we have the best offense

It'll be pretty tough to outdo what the Spurs are doing defensively, holding opponents to 89ppg. That's incredibly unheard of in this era. In December, they've actually had the #1 offense AND defense in the league, as well as a +22.2 Net Rating.

I'm telling ya. This playoff series if they ever meet is gonna be insane. #1 offense vs #1 defense. If only it could be the NBA Finals instead of the WCF.

Should be crazy. Ppg isn't a good stat but spurs are #1 right now regardless with a 93 points per 100 which is amazing. Warriors can get back to that level like last year. Right now we are only 4th

 

[Hambombs]

Warriors spurs would feel like a finals though

Blake is out at least 2 weeks

REPORT: SUNS CONSIDERING COACHING CHANGE
League sources tell ESPN's Marc Stein that Suns head coach Jeff Hornacek's job is in jeopardy thanks to a 5-15 stretch that includes Saturday's home loss to the lowly 76ers in which they lost guard Eric Bledsoe to a knee injury.

I wouldn't mind Thibs. We need someone that isn't a pushover like Hornacek is, the players don't respect him at all, kinda sad. He's a nice guy and all, but I've never thought he was a good coach.

2 significant injuries last night. Alec Burks out 6 weeks and Bledsoe out until after the AS break

What an exciting half of basketball in Oracle. Omri Cassipi with 26 1st half points including 7 3's in the 2nd. Steph with all 17 points in the 2nd quarter

 

[Bolts]

Omri Casspi balling, too bad the Kings will be blown out by the 4th quarter. I'm hoping this is a 1st round playoff preview.

The Spurs are playing solid team defense so far...
K-Leonard is likely to repeat as DPOYNBA so far....

But, Timmy still is the anchor and DPOYSAS with little fanfare.

It was amazing watching the defensive diffrence between David West and 39 year old Duncan in street clothes.

I have to give some props to Kawhi. I have never seen that dude complain about a call. For the spurs fans that watch a lot of Spurs games... does he ever?

A few plays last night dude got mugged going to the bucket, no whistle... scores anyway... then just jogs quietly back down court.

The Cavs could really use a healthy dose of that right now, imo.

He rarely complains but I did see him complain (for the first time ever) on Christmas day after he got hammered

And by Cavs you mean LBJ & JR?

He has some sort of almost clinical level introvert shyness.
He is not a jerk about it. He doesnt mean to be a dick....it is just extreme introvert behavior.

He never speaks at all, yet alone complains.
He makes famously boring Tim Duncan look like an egomaniacal jackass who wont shut up in comparison.

He might be the most Spurs-like player in the history of the Spurs.

Joey Crawford agrees.

Did not think Warriors would look this bad without Steph.

Tells me a lot about Klay and Draymond
