Let's put this Warriors 'chemistry problem' to bed

[bksballer89]

Also you need to quit lying. Making a statement such as "David West doesn't even play for all practical purposes" followed by"David West Sucks and doesn't even play"

It should be noted that he has played in every Warriors game this season.

 

[bksballer89]

why are we even talking about team statistics? Its the first week of november.

David West blows.

Are you going to comment in this thread after every game they lose?

This is rhetorical, right?

I mean, it is Wiggy that you're talking about.

The Warriors losing to the Lakers had nothing to do with chemistry issues. It was the 2nd game of a back to back in which the first game was emotional because it was the first game vs. OKC since KD joined the Warriors.

Plus, a young talented team that was able to get confidence early and build on it at home. When that happens with a young team, they can be very, very difficult to beat. Steph and Klay each had off nights. Some of it was because they were just off and some of it was because the Lakers have players who are "long and athletic" which is what gives the Warriors the most trouble. Because of that, the Warriors never developed any rhythm on offense. My guess is that the next time these 2 teams play, the Warriors will make the Lakers pay dearly for their insolence.

Those factors are the reason the Lakers won that game. Not chemistry.

An "interesting" analogy of the Lakers to say the least.

Or it could simply just be the "any given day" theory that applies here. That's where my opinion lies.

It's essentially the same thing. "any given day" is just more vague and covers any upset that happens for any reason.

The Warriors always lose in LA. There are numerous theories out there as to why, but the answer is clear:

It's because it's LA. Have you ever partied in LA? I'm pretty sure the Warriors would have just skipped the game if that were an option.

Klay's the GOAT.

"Well Ethan, that's a great question. It's actually not that good of a question."

People don't listen to you. I think we are all shocked CL

The Warriors need to get Looney more time on the court. He needs to step his conditioning up, but he'll get there eventually. He's showing a bit why he was considered a lottery prospect last year before his injury. He's got great hands and his rebounding is already very, very good.

McCaw should really help with some balance on the wing when he gets back from injury. I do worry about Wing depth though with McCaw being a rookie and Clark being very inconsistent.

The Warriors are not a super team as some folks believe.

This may be a very good possibility...I thought their old team was more of a superteam tbh

Everytime Durant scores 25-30 that means very little left over shots for Curry, Thompson and green...Shooters can't get rhythm if they never have the ball in their hands

 

[SJ76]

It's simple math. Let's say Steph, Klay, and Dray all averaged around 70 total shots a game for the last 2 years.

Now divide those shots into 4. Someone is going to be left out and it's going to take the awhile to get it down. Chemistry most definitely will be an issue.

 

[SJ76]

Still can't get over how KD and OKC were up 3-1 and lost so KD leaves to go play at Golden State.

He will forever be the biggest pussy I've seen jump ship and go to the enemy.

Its worse than that...I have now watched 2 big 3's...Only 2 players get all the shots...and the third is left out...but on GS they have a 4th...so that is 2 unhappy players....On the cavs and heat (Bosh/love) the 3rd option accepted defensive, rebounding and other roles...Now imagine 2 players having that...i just don't see it happening

I don't think it is a huge issue of being unhappy, especially if they are winning. Over time, I could see Klay being the most unhappy out of the Big 4 IMO. Anyway, I think taking shots away from Curry and Klay could hurt them even though KD is a beast. They will also have to outscore team bc their defense takes a hit overall and rebounding. They can make it work no doubt, but there could be some inconsistency at first. I have seen Draymond pass up a lot more shots than normal bc you have KD and Curry out there or a combo of the Big 3 for GS.

I still think the biggest factor is not having that rim protector IMO. Either way their offense has a chance to be truly unstoppable at times.

well, considering I wipe my ass with what YOU think i'm fairly certain i'll get over it rather quickly...

DO keep giving me your input, however. it's entertaining stuff...

this is a great point....its why as much as so many people want to crown them champs already-starting as far as back as the summer- i keep going back to the fact that: a. there is only one ball. and b. there is only 1 King James.
