Spurs got weaker and older
Clippers peak days have passed. (They shoulda been in the WCF in 2014 and 2015)
Durant took OKC outta contention

Those were/are the Warriors only threats. Warriors prolly gonna be in the next 3 WFC :francis:


There oldest player retired and they added 3 guys younger than their retired oldest player...

But they got older...

:yeahok:

They weren't prepared for KD to be hurt. Now they have a whole offseason to set up for Westbrook to go super saiyan on the league

5678 will put up video game numbers...everyone else on that team is going to struggle mightily....


With KD and 5678, Adams is a great young center you hold on to because he playing with two superstar players who can give him time to continue to grow...without KD now Adams has to be a legitmate low post scoring threat...that crashing the boards and playing great defense and hustle points stuff is not going to get it anymore, Adams probably is going to have to do the most to make up for KD's points...and to a lesser degree somebody has to make up for Ibaka points as well...Sabonis is a rookie so I can't see him doing it...Ersan is a slower less athletic version of Ibaka so I don't see him replacing those numbers...

They have Oladipo on a walk year. Time for him to show & prove.




Sabonis is ready too.

Sabonis is a rookie...I'd be shocked if they get 40 good games out of him...

Oladipo can't shoot and can't play off the ball...5678 can't shoot and can't play off the ball...I don't understand how you play these two at the same time...

I expect 5678 efficiency to go WAY down since OKC doesn't have an offensive player in the same galaxy as KD to replace him...I expect his turnovers to go way up cause now defenses can just key on him...

OKC floor spacing is going to be :scust:...you flanking 5678 with Roberson, Oladipo, and Singler on the perimeter :scust:

OKC and Chicago are going to challenge the all time WOAT 3 point shooting season :scust:
