Ingram on 19-point debut: 'Once in a lifetime'

Hey, @Sportsguy9695.....

You're correct. But at this point it's nitpicking. In year's past, there have been team's in the East that made it in with a below .500 record. This year, every team will have a winning record. This year, the playoff format works just fine.

Yea, 1 year it works, vs. multiple years that it doesn't. Seems change is in need.

 

[Black Adam]

More 50 win teams in the east than west.

First time that has happened in over 20 years.

More reasons to leave the playoffs exactly how it is

yeah, all the talk about getting rid of division and such. naw, fuck that...

I think he knows the expectation and will deliver.

As I said, he is capable of it. I hope you're right.

Agree and I think the playoff structure works just fine almost every year. The balance of power shifts back and forth between the 2 conferences. Always has, always will. Not gonna go back and research it, but I'd be willing to bet that if I did, I'd find that almost every season there's at least 1 team that gets into the playoffs with a worse record than a team that didn't.

Yea I still call my son & nieces kids & they're all 21 & older.

He's gonna opt out cause he took a HUGE discount last year on his 2-year and this year there's no real incentive on his part or the Warriors part for him to take that big of a discount (except luxury tax for the Warriors).

So of course he's gonna opt out. I'd be shocked if he's not back with the dubs though. Only question is whether he'll do a 2-year to setup a super-max next year with the jump in the cap or whether he'll take a long-term deal now.

when are draymond and klay up for extensions?

 

[LAD]

next to ME, kid...

For the record he does have a full head of grey hair on top!

 

[LAD]

when are draymond and klay up for extensions?

klay will be eligible in summer of 2019 & Dray the following year

 

[Heatles84]

when are draymond and klay up for extensions?

Draymond 2020, Klay 2019.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Draymond 2020, Klay 2019.

so that is after next season for klay right?
