Not only is this not true - their schedule isn't the reason why I said "it just goes to show how dominant the Warriors are". There isn't too many intriguing games because the Warriors have set the bar so high, that the only real interest around the league is who'll beat them first.
Did Adam Silver/NBA Purposely Construct an NBA Schedule with...
- Thread starter GoldenGlove
- Start date
Fans wanted "parity" though

- Rockets are trash.
- Clippers are trash.
- OKC got hit with another injury bug they are just coming out of.
- Pelicans regressed/are a mess.
- Washington regressed/are a mess.
- Grizz, Hawks, Bulls regressed and are treadmill teams but Dallas Charlotte, Detroit and Indiana haven't taken a big enough leap to take them seriously as even fringe contenders
So coming into this season, you at least expected the hou/lac/memph group to be nightly fringe contenders (or better) to go against the gw/sas/okc... so that would've been 6 heavy duty west teams followed by mediocrity. In the east, it was supposed to be dwade bosh and rose coming back to full healthy and productivity to bring nightly show cases, along with Lebron... but so far miami has been aight and drose very flabby.
Def disappointed with how some of these teams (and players) have come out the gate so far.
A lot of these games aren't even close tho. I could live with it if the game were entertaining. But from what I see, it'll be a weak matchup and a blowout

They do have the easiest schedule.. If u compare them (best record last year +chip) to who they are facing.. A bunch of sub .600 teams... They have the biggest gap in term of talent..
I am not knocking gsw.. Just saying ur wrong... A healthy cavs would have an even easier schedule...
NBA is hyping for a top seed finals...ratings through the roof.but the second half theys both face high play off bound teams a lot...
You be saying some nonsense lately my breh.
They do NOT have the easiest schedule - considering no reigning championship squad can have the easiest run as they've got a target on their backs and will get the best efforts from 90% of teams on a nightly basis. If there's the pattern of a win-streak (as there is with this squad), it'll only make teams more and more determined to knock them off. Look, you wouldn't be saying this dumb shyt if I asked you to judge the strength of their schedule prior to this season -
Pelicans (a playoff team, who many thought would be competing for a top 4 spot this season with the addition of Gentry and Davis growing into a superstar)
Rockets (a WCF team, who many thought would be competing for a top 4 spot again with a stronger squad)
Pelicans (see above)
Grizzlies (a playoff team, who many thought would be in the playoff mix again)
Clippers (a playoff team, who many thought would be competing for a top 4 spot, and who some thought could've beaten the Warriors last postseason)
That's FIVE straight games to start the season off against Western conference playoff-caliber competition. That shyt is NOT easy. Is it the Warriors fault the Pelicans had injuries and lack of cohesion to start the season? Is it the Warriors fault the Rockets fell off a cliff on the defensive end to start the season? Is it the Warriors fault the Grizzlies play hit a wall to start the season? Is it the Warriors fault the Clippers couldn't close out the game, after leading heading into the 4th quarter?

Oh man ur going entirely too far..
When predicted who has easy/hard schedules, they simple take who is facing who...
That's why no matter who they face 76er has the hardest schedule..
It doesn't matter by how much u win.. It matters that what team should come in top on the matchup... And to what odds..
They do no have a tough schedule because they were expected to lose to nkne of those teams... I know damn well they will be played like its a play off game..

And yes.. Those teams were suppose to balance things out.. But gsq wasn't expect to lose to all those games
And leave pels out of it.. Only time they won gsw threw the gamw
a bunch of mediocre matchups on a nightly basis outside of Nationally TV games?
I swear, I've had access to all the games for the last 3 years or so, and this year is the first time where I can't really find too many intriguing games to watch from night to night. Am I tripping? Or is there something to this? Been a struggle if it's not on TNT or ESPN so far...
Most of the east is .500 and the west is trash. The cap is taking effect and teams are just competitive
What the fukk does that have to do with anything? It's five straight games against Western conference playoff teams. How can that possibly be the easiest schedule?
Why the hell would I leave the Pelicans out? They were a playoff team last season and we projected as a top 4 team by some this season.
WHAT IN THE ENTIRE fukk ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

There are only two great teams in the league right now. What matchups do you even want to see that aren't happening? If you want interesting that isn't Cavs or Warriors, watch the TWolves and see the future of the league grow and develop before your very eyes. They still suck though for now because they lose focus for stretches of every game

Bro I think I should quit.. This post is horrible..
Those teams for now fell off.. Gsw didn't .. They on pace to repeat... Some of those teams might not make the play offs..
It's all good to use last season to situate them.. But what about this season?
Gsw was the best last season....they the best this season.. They are facing teams that was hot last season... Are filling this season..
That changes the approach..u gotta know that... I know u know that
And pels? Aren't they getting beat by everyone.. How are they a hard opponent for gsw?
