[Wamu]

pretty much like watching minor league hockey when the Ice Dogs played out here. trust me, no one gave a flying fuck if THEY won a title in Long Beach...

I've got no problem with the Lakers losing a lot of games again next year. That means a solid chance at keeping their draft pick again (top 3 protected), and Josh Jackson would be a solid fit at SG. Plus, that pushes the Sixers pick to 2018, which changes the 1st they owe to the Magic to two 2nds instead. Double win.

Never been to an NHL game but when I lived in Lost Wages I went to some Las Vegas Wranglers games.

well I WILL say that it, like any other minor league sport, is more fan friendly, and of course, cheaper...

Here's to the Lakers winning 29 games!!!

I could see the Warriors giving their bench a lot of minutes in order to develop young players and keep the starters fresh, so I'll predict 62 regular season wins.

lol would anybody even watch the finals if it was, say, the Raptors vs. the Grizzlies...?

Yeah, Drake, Justin Bieber and Timberlake.

Mccaw is gonna be a stud.

I hope Looney gets healthy so he can get some burn.

I think the Warriors win between 60-63 games and return to the Finals.

Dude, I watch it all.

Wnba, D League...whatever.

Hell, I went to Long Beach Jam games until they moved to Bakersfield.

A lot of people say depth will be an issue, but if one or two of the young guys become solid contributors off the bench, then I believe the depth will be okay.

One NBA front-office simulation has Warriors winning 83 out of 82 games

With Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Stephen Curry on their roster, the Golden State Warriors are heavily favored to win the NBA championship next season. How great the Warriors truly become is obviously still undetermined, but the expectations are quite high for Golden State.

But can the Warriors break the single-season wins record they set last season? According to the simulations of one NBA front office, not only will the Warriors surpass 73 wins, their sheer win total essentially broke the computer's simulation.

From SI's Lee Jenkins:

One NBA front office ran simulations, based on player values, for the upcoming season. Cleveland came out with 64 wins, second best in the league. Golden State came out with 83, better than undefeated. They broke the system.

The simulation likely doesn't factor a player getting injured, which could happen, but on face value the Warriors breaking "the system" is pretty wild. Of course this is just a simulation and not real life, so we will just have to wait and see how Golden State's actually fares next season.

82 wins in the regular season and knocked out 4 games to 1 in the first round of the playoffs? That's 83 wins.

Good way to look at it but I didn't read it like that...

Either way... Go Duke!

Mccaw, West, IGGY, Livingston, Looney, Jones, Mcaddo.

Obviously, we don't know if, or how much, Looney, Mccaw and Jones will contribute and Mcadoo is not very good.

But, outside of Backup Center, you guys should be fine.

I am so curious as to what happened with Speights.

The Warriors had to prefer him over Ragedy Andy.

So, Why would he take the minimum to play for the Clippers?

I thought I read somewhere that he wanted a bigger role than the Warriors were willing to give him, but I can't find it right now.

 

[tducey]

Meh, I don't think the Warriors are going to have as good a season as people think they are. These dream teams take a while to gel. Yeah they make the playoffs and probably advance far into them but I don't know about them winning the title.

 

[Michael Richardson]

They'll win about 77. With Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson they will be unstoppable. That's an Allstar team. They're still going to lose to Cleveland though
