Are the Thunder for really realz a contender?

[bksballer89]

That is just it. We clearly don't agree.

If the Warriors are playing like this in May, then the gap will have closed. I will be absolutely shocked if they are.

Our only hope is Draymond continues to suck ass on offense and more importantly, Klay continues to shoot in the low 30's from 3.

 

[DJ Fieri]

No. Because they suck at outside shooting.

What do I win?

This seems to the point of the disconnect here.

My argument, and I think mskings more or less agrees, is that the Warriors are still the favorite to win the title as they will likely turn things around.

But their play so far this season has been well below their standard. This is the worst start this team has started with since the 2013-14 season when they got bounced out of the playoffs in the 1st round. Now that doesn't mean they are going to get bounced out of the playoffs in the first round of course, but you can't just hand wave away their performance as being irrelevant. Otherwise there is no point even watching the regular season.

This seems obvious to me, agreed.
The team as it is playing now is not winning the title. But obviously they have the horses to turn it around. And they should do so. But there is no ironclad guarantee they will do so. There's a reason 3 peats are rare.

Absolutely. The Warriors could go on a 20 game winning streak starting in their next game and that wouldn't surprise me. But the longer their average play continues the more reason there is to be concerned. The more that Draymon continues to struggles at just about everything, the more reason there is to be concerned. He's the guy I would be most concerned about if I were a Dubs fan. IMO, Klay will find his shot again at some point.

One thing is certain, neither of them is an all-star this year

Give Dramond a break, he has a hurt pinkie toe.

Oh make no mistake about it, the word bitch applies to Green more than any other person in the history of sports. Simply not up for debate.

Aww you need a hug, hun?

It would seem like you do, comparing a guy with a major knee injury with the biggest puss in the history of the league not willing to play through a hurt pinkie toe. Pussies admire that stuff though apparently.

I’m quite sure you can spell that word in your sleep. I got it close enough on my phone. I guess now I’m not very smart, dang. You made this personal, not me.
