Wherever nikkas need to be told on
As I said this summer and when golden state signed durant, in a perfect world Golden state needed Marc Gasol.

Deandre Jordan isn't skilled enough to play in their system and neither is Zaza pachulia.

Golden state imploded and destroyed their team.

I get if they lost by 10 or kept it close at points during the game, but they got out rebounded by 20 I think, beat by 30 and never really led.... I don't think it's an over reaction saying they are missing something. The chemistry will get better.... But the Spurs were in the same boat as the Warriors (new pieces, new chemistry).....plus most said they'd dominate out the gate. The Spurs will have to be dealt with by them again and most likely in the playoffs.... it's not a stretch to say hey, maybe they need an adjustment. Everybody went through the same training camp and preseason:francis:

Where do they make you nikkas? :what:

Golden state got the wrong former thunder.... they should of gotten Ibaka, a big who can defend, rebound, block, and can knock down shots.
If Serge Ibaka plays anything like how he did last season, then he is not what golden state needs. Golden State needed Marc Gasol, in a perfect world of course.

In all honesty I think Joakim Noah would have fit perfectly with the Warriors. He could still pass and you have such deadly weapons around him that his non existent offense wouldn't be that big a liability

joakim noah sucks now. his passing doesn't mean shyt when his turnovers are almost equal to his assist numbers. on top of that, he's no longer an elite rim protector or defender. and he's too easy to defend when he as the ball. his man can just back up off him and play all the passing lanes because he can't shoot, and if he gets fouled, he's converting FT's at a deandre jordan rate. and UNLIKE deandre jordan, noah can't convert baskets around the rim either.

The Spurs blew out the Thunder in the playoffs last year. The Thunder advanced anyway and blew out the Warriors a couple times. The Warriors won the series and blew out the Cavs a few times. These reactionary threads are :trash:

I don't think this is true...I think he was just fed up with Durant 5678 and just stopped trying...I expect him to look like old serge in orlando this year...
It is

Has anybody watched him the last few seasons in OKC?

He's a pick and pop jump shooter and fugazi 3 pt shooter now

No doubt you are right...I just think all of that stuff was by coaching design and not the type of player Ibaka really is...

I expect him to look more like old serge in orlando...

All those quotes from him about not touching the ball...all that talk from his agent saying he was promised a bigger part of the offense...and when he got trades nobody seemed very shook up about it on either side...

I just think dude got tired of playing with KD and Russ...they are two hard players to play with...due to them having the ball in their hand all the time and you never knowing when they will shoot or pass...

Or the Spurs can get bounced before even facing Golden State like they did last year. It's day 1 of the NBA Season, let's chill before we come to definite conclusions

True spurs could get bounced ....but no matter what this team gotta get rebounds ...it's basketball fam, that adjustment has to be made. Out bounded by 20 is a red flag.

What part of playing with Durant, Klay, and Steph don't you get?
