The Warriors interior defense is laughable without Bogut

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

It's a roster issue. They will struggle defending the rim unless they make a move.

Honestly, there are other areas they've struggled with defensively that I'm sure will be fixed in time for the postseason. I don't expect this team to go all out on both ends of the court, for obvious reasons. They're playing the long game. I agree they do probably need to look a bringing in a defensive 5, but when the postseason rolls around their death lineup will be used more regularly and that's been one of the best defensive lineups up to this point.

They got that death lineup for the post season like Gil said. I watched my Heatles go to 4 consecutive finals with no interior defense while being a mediocre rebounding team. They have 2 of the top 5 players in the league. 3 of the best shooters in the league and the potential dpoy. I wouldn't worry too much about these nikkas, they haven't even played 20 games together yet.

There's losses yet there's gains

Well you are hoping that the addition of Durant is going to offset points given up on the defensive end but net point differential is still down from last year at this point of the season. Maybe that changes once they make the necessary adjustments.

Varajao and a second round pick for Jeff Withey.

They should get their Pop on and swap out McGee's brain with anyone that has ever picked up a basketball. Then they'd be cooking

Ideally you want someone more athletic so they can play with the other 4 starters

 

[Bilz]

If I remember right, their interior defense was bad even when they had Bogut last year because Ezeli was out for a long time.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

They're scoring too much and it's way too early for alarm but it's something they will need to address

that team didnt make it out of the 1st round of the playoffs.

That team also didn't have a defensive beast like Draymond.

Defensive beast like Draymond. Still 23rd in league. 60% at the rim.

So you think we won't get out the first round?

That's why Damian Jones is so important, if he pans out they don't have to do sh!t

We'll find out within the next month

you never know. Them Clippers, and Spurs are looking good out west. Trailblazers can also stun the Warriors.

 

[DonKnock]

Draymond yells a lot though

There advanced stats on that?

He's just happy that they've played the easiest schedule in the league up to this point
