The angle of a ball being above the cylinder, not moving down, and still having a chance to score seems pretty small.

I guess one of the more surprising things for me last night was how loving bad Iguodala looked. I mean holy poo poo he was trash all game. Livingston was quiet as well.

what do you guys think about the warriors pulling a Manu and dedicating one of their 4 stars to the 2nd unit, developing a dominating consistency with them and exploding off the bench? as it stands now they just have too much offensive talent up front to use effectively. i know they're going the "2 stars always on the floor" route, but i feel like that will always been relatively inconsistent due to being unable to develop chemistry with specific units. the biggest problem with the "star off the bench" plan is that you need someone who is explosive to successfully pull it off. klay's defense would be missed too much and i don't think he can create well enough. green's success is as a facilitator, not an explosive star. and KD and Steph are too valuable to bring off the bench. if i had a robot team with those players, i'd bring Steph off the bench. he's offensively explosive enough, can create his own shot, and would feast on 2nd units. bringing KD off the bench would probably work too, though. not that it'll ever happen, but what do you guys think?

N: Warriors lose to the spurs at home. V: Nothing to see here, business as usual whenever the spurs play us at home I'm more interested right now in seeing what Kerr does with his rotations. Putting Ian Clark in that early in the game was not a recipe for success

Of the four, I guess Klay would be the one most easily moved to the bench but KD would be the best fit there. They didn't have the three falling and rebounding is going to be a struggle all year long so I assume they'll focus on that moreso than lineup tweaks. Then again Steph Curry is just the rich man's Crawford so

what is a funnier prospect: golden state has an awful season, misses the playoffs, or golden state has a record breaking season and loses to lebron in the finals again, or both KD and SC tear their ACLs in a horrible mid court collision (this one would be sad  )

GZA Genius posted:N: Warriors lose to the spurs at home. V: Nothing to see here, business as usual whenever the spurs play us at home David West is not a good fit for this team and probably not that good in general. Pachulia was in mid-season form (not the first half where he pretends to be good) Javale might actually be their best traditional big from a fit standpoint but he got baptized last night and will almost certainly get injured.

I don't get people's fascination with moving players to the bench. IMO it only makes sense if you are talking about a 1 way offensive player like Kanter or Monta that you most likely wouldn't want out there to close games. With any other above average starter the coach should be able to figure it out, and with players like KD or Steph it's really easy to figure out a rotation that works.

I am perfectly content if the refs consider the situation "Lebron breathing down your neck and you try a drat finger roll???" to be a situation in which the ball was not going into the basket.

The Warriors getting blown out made me so loving ready for this season. I can't wait for them to win 60 games, come in 2nd in the conference and be lambasted by literally everyone as a complete failure. Also for KD to be shook af and leave in free agency

Finger rolls should be goaltendable so you have to do the shot in office basketball where you loft it way over the guy standing over the basket

Really the most telling thing about the Warriors is how loving garbage their big rotation is. They have Draymond, who is good. Zaza was complete garbage and you never know who you're getting every night with him. After that you have West, who is washed up, Varajao, who is washed up, and McGee, who is an idiot and also is bad and will get hurt.

Just say you sucked and move on you idiots. remember when they spent all of last offseason getting mad about being called lucky/one-off champs

Lockback, just looping back to earlier: Kevin Durant had 0 contested rebounds last night. Only pulled down 1.5 a game last season. He's not a good rebounder.
