SINGLER SIGHTING!!!

 

[thunderc]

Singler in the Box score, it doesn’t get any worse than thst warriors fans.

Ben Simmons All-star?

I don't understand why the replacement picks have to come from the conference the player is from considering the teams are all mixed. Silver needs to do the right thing and name Lou Williams to the team.

 

[Robotech]

Wow. The Warriors really suck right now. I thought that playing on a back-to-back and playing at altitude against a really good home team like the Nuggets wasn't a bad loss, but there's no excuse for tonight's terrible showing.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Shit...

I feel really sorry for OKC right now

The years team is not better than last year because some fringe players have not developed and the older ones have regressed. There is definitely some issues with the current squad

They need to improve the bench. I'm guessing they trade 1 or 2 bench players on Thursday to improve their bench

Yeah the bench has been putrid but the team has been lacking intensity on D most of the season, I think they've been something like the worst defensive team in the NBA in the last month, they look very beatable this year which hasnt been the case for the last 3 seasons.

I want to see McCaw succeed, but he just can't seem to do anything right on offense. Looney has definitely gotten better, though.

I've given up on McCaw at this point I'd take a bag of BBQ Lays for him

It's hard to stay on top. Hopefully, they can find themselves before it's too late.

LOL, at least a bag of BBQ lays makes a person happy. McCaw is super young, so there's definitely time for him to develop, but yeah, he's been frustratng to watch this season, and it makes you wonder how long the Warriors are willing to wait for him to develop. I read a rumor that he could be traded for Joe Harris.

 

[Lakers+USC=#1]

Ok I just seen the replay, and yall was really getting on Green for that? Looks like he just gave the ref the ball.

 

[msgkings322]

Westbrook went in dry man, that guy was a man possessed. Props.

Green was being an idiot. He deserved that.

 

[msgkings322]

The knock on the Thunder locally is that they they can just turn it on when they want. Starting to wonder if it’s true. You can’t keep having 4 game losing streaks though.

Every team gets up for the Warriors. And Westbrook makes it personal, I think he really wants to beat the hell out of Curry and Durant.

Warriors not so invulnerable, this is why all that "Oh they can just stay together and win 5 rings" stuff is such bullshit, it's not possible in today's NBA, with all the player movement. Jordan's era was a different place, pure and simple. I've said for a year, Ws will win 3 with KD, but the first will be the easiest, then the 2nd (this year), and the 3rd will be hell and may not even come through.

Then Klay likely leaves but even if not, it's just too much for a team to win 5 in a row. I doubt we will ever see 4 in a row.

That said, still the favorites. Just gonna be a lot harder than 16-1. Regression to the mean is real.

 

[BloodType49]

I wouldnt count that second ring just yet lol..this team has some serious hangups against OKC and Houston, I wouldnt even mark them as a lock to make it out of the west.

True. Anything can happen, and luck plays a larger role in sports than we are willing to admit. If shots didn't fall for the Warriors in that Game 3 comeback, we could've been looking at a long series against the Cavs in last year's Finals.
