lets put these chemistry issues to bed guys ....cmon....
lol, I see you're going to be spending a lotta time on this thread every time the Warriors lose a game...

lets put these chemistry issues to bed guys ....cmon....
Last year they went something like 25-0 before losing their first game and have already lost games in the first five - they have the talent - but they do not have the chemistry. I do think, however they will develop the chemistryAll the talk of how 4 stars can't coexist, expected fights over who is 'the man'...
Not a chance, y'all. The team was already noted for their chemistry, how tight they were, no egos, all likeable guys who would go through walls for each other (including Draymond, especially him, if he's on your team you love him), for example Iguodala accepting the 'bench' role without a peep.
Now add KD, also known for an ego in check (almost to a fault). He's going to fit right in from day 1, this is a perfect spot for him.
The Warriors are NOT a team that will have chemistry problems
So the haters need to come up with something else, this one is done.

The players don't have to like each other and get along to play well although that will help substantially. For good chemistry on the court to happen, each player must have good instincts and knowledge of his role and then execute his role efficiently. Paul Gasol coming to the Lakers was really a good example of good chemistry. The Warriors simply haven't developed that, but I think they willThis whole thread just shows that different people have different definitions of 'chemistry'.
To some (like me) it means the team getting along, how they feel about each other, and their roles. The teams with great chemistry are better than the sum of their parts. The teams that don't have it, that don't like each other, they can still win but they aren't as good as they can be.
To others it means the efficiency of the team, how the parts gel. It's not about feelings it's about getting everything to work.
My definition is the one that's not a problem for this team. There are no bad apples, no selfish players, no one who cares about anything but getting rings.
The other definition is the one that they are predictably having to figure out. As has been mentioned many times, it took the Heat a while to get that right when LeBron showed up, as they started that year 9-8. It even took a bit of work for the Cavs to get things right last year.
LeBron needed 2 years on each of his title winning teams. Maybe the Warriors win the title this year. Maybe they need to win it next year, everyone is plenty young. And heck maybe they don't win it all. It's why we watch, to see if it happens. It's a fascinating experiment building a team like they did.
As a basketball fan, there are 3-4 teams that have a shot at it, and it's fun to see who will get it done. The Warriors are unquestionably one of those.
The Warriors are not a super team as some folks believe.Are you going to comment in this thread after every game they lose?
Last night was not a chemistry issue. They were bad on defense, which is a legitimate concern. Defensive rotations were clearly lacking and they got destroyed on the boards. Offensively, they did not execute well, but this was mostly just a terrible shooting night which will happen from time to

david west getting 8 minutes a game....told you he would be a non-factor.......hes like what Chris Anderson is on the Cavs at this point in his career. If you are playing this guy more than 12 minutes a game there is a big problem or injuries.
more of @tlance 's genius:
LOL at anybody saying the Warriors won't find depth or big.
West and Pachulia is even better than Bogut/Ezeli, IMO. They offer rebounding and even more offensive skill. This is shaping up as the greatest offensive group of all time. I know these two have very different strengths than what GS had last year, but wow.
west blows dude. west/pachulia is not even fucking CLOSE to bogut/ezeli. its not in the same stratosphere. west is nothing more than a good bench vet that can give you 10 minutes here or there- and get extended a little during the regular season if guys get hurt. He is a non-factor in the grand scheme of things- like Birdman on the Cavs.
i mean- when you say stuff like West and Pachulia is going to be better than Bogut and Ezeli was- and you act like your all high and mighty while saying it- at least have the balls to say- ya know what- MY BAD...ask a warriors fan if they think west/pachulia is better than bogut/ezeli.....they will look at you like you just took a dozen hits of peyote and chased it with a bottle of vodka.
LOL...out of context.What is your problem? You continually go out of your way to single out my posts. While I disagree with your homerific posts, I have always tried to do so respectfully.
As for my point on Zaza + West, you are taking it out of context. Obviously Bogut was important, but Ezeli was a straight liability against the team 1 thought most likely to beat them.
For that reason, and with that 1 matchup in mind I still think this could be true by season's end. Both appear to have regressed significantly from last season though, so I am not so sure anymore.
1 thing I am certain of though, you are an asshole. You want to disagree with me and debate, then fine. Stop with the name calling and the condescending remarks though. Everyone here knows you post more stupid crap than just about anybody, yet you want to go back and find a random post I wrote in July.
I could find a stupid post that you write from every day (well, except for last June when your your Cavs were losing at you went AWOL), but I don't. You are not worth my time.
David West doesnt even play for all practical purposes!!! hes basically Chris Anderson on the Cavs!!!David West at 36 defends pick and roll better than Ezeli.
Aside from LeBron and Kyrie, nobody contributed more to the Cavs title than Ezeli. He is a quality rim protector, but was a liability against Cleveland.
They look like they might struggle more than I thought defensively, but you know what is even worse than anything I posted in July?
You assuming that the Warriors will be a bad defensive team all season based off a 6 game sample in November. They guarded just fine against OKC and I think they will be fine when given time. They have too many good individual defenders to be a bad defensive team.

i have to at least give you some grudging admiration that yo uare so stubborn that you are doubling down on David West still being able to contribute to an NBA team....geezus...lol.....what a total fail.
i never "assumed" they would be a bad defensive team- but top 5 seems a little rough considering their big man rotation has 1 big man who is just not bad at defense in Draymond--- and Draymond is 6'7" (LISTED) and is not a rim protector.
you are out of your mind. David West sucks and doesnt even play. Ezeli got a 16M dollar contract and actually PLAYS.Dude. Read my post.
David West's ability has nothing to do with it.
Ezeli was awful. The worst. Terrible. He is not on the team anymore. I would take ANY 6'8" or taller big body who can rebound over a plodding center like Ezeli against the Cavs. Chris Anderson would be better than Ezeli for that matchup. Varejao was better than Ezeli and he was terrible also.
any GSW fans out there think that Pachulia and West is better than Bogut and Ezeli? anyone? no? thats batshit crazy-? right?
