ESPN NBA Western Conference Standing Projections

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

You didn't wind up where you were because of Toney Douglas and the absence of Festus Ezeli. That's not the difference between a one and done and where you hope to be. That's on the REAL question marks on that team: Bogut, Lee, Iggy to a lesser extent, and definitely Barnes and Thompson. They can't remain where they are and expect the team to advance to the next rounds.

And the Kerr is the same bullshyt you said about Mark Jackson til Mike Malone left and you have all the credit to Mark's sermons on the bench. If you think Gentry's an upgrade over Jackson then what were you crying about when Jax got the boot?

Dude we took the Clippers to 7 games and kept it close to until the last 2 minutes of the game. If we had a healthy center we would've knocked them off. Jordan and Griffin was too much for Green and Lee. Give us a healthy Bogut or Ezeli and we knock them out in 6.

We have an upgrade at backup 1 and 5. Draymond is a year better, Klay is a year better and Alvin Gentry is supposed to make our offense better. If we can get the old Brandon Rush back then we upgrade at the backup 2 spot too.

im just saying esp. in the west
2 game swing is alot for adding role players & retread assistant coaches

We had the worst bench in the league last season. Harrison Barnes was absolute trash and he was the best player on the bench until we got Jordan Crawford mid season which says a lot.

Look at our record against the Clippers the last 2 years bruh. When healthy we kick they ass on the regular. We play them 4 times a year and do more than hold our own.

stop upping this thread.

some of us have posts in here we'd like to forget.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

hold up, they have the Nuggets winning 38 games next season?

so..

Shaw with a year of coaching under his belt.
a gang of players returning from season ending injuries (including two starters that only played 5 games between them).
trading a fringe rotation player for Arron Afflalo.
drafting two players that plenty of mocks had us taking @ 11.

is worth two extra wins.

@Blackthoughts was dead on in this thread

I also salute him for giving Kerr a fair chance even though he supported Jackson as hard as he did

Y'all want to hate on him, but he's been on point all season
