The point of examining the ramifications of how the Warriors have built their team isn't to argue that they've become a terrible team or are not still likely to be the best team in the west or the league, it's to argue that perhaps the massive gulf between them and their immediate peers that we anticipated is either tighter than we thought or isn't even there anymore.

I think it's impossible to determine that 6 games into the season, it was bound to be awkward as hell e: If anything it should make more people realize that real basketball isn't like fantasy and it doesn't matter how much talent you have, it takes time to learn how to play together properly and it will be ugly at times. Just like Miami. The talent gulf is definitely there and it's just a matter of time until they're making a lot of good teams look silly, unfortunately.

zogopostinWhyteRyce posted:Klay is really really good but I think Declan's point is that stretch 4 who can guard all front court positions and pass and playmake is a lot harder to replace than an elite shooting 2 guard that can guard 3 wing positions. ding ding ding Klay is probably The Best A Man Can Get but functionally he could be replaced with Thabo, Danny Green, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Jonathon Simmons, Delly, the 2016 version of Dwyane Wade, etc. and that's not even counting decent defenders whose 3P% would see an upswing being the third option in the Warriors offense. They wouldn't necessarily be as good as Klay but the Warriors offense would function in pretty much the same way, especially with Durant there. Unless you find a rejuvenation machine for Joakim Noah or try to talk Royce White out of retirement, I don't think there's another big that brings what Draymond brings to the table Lockback posted:Golden State probably should keep all their guys. well yeah but I thought we were having a discussion in this, the basketball discussion thread Doltos posted:This logic should have applied to Bogut or Ezeli cus lmao their rebounding it's real fuckin bad and ties into their defensive struggles, especially with their "nightmare lineup" which got bodied by a thousand year old david lee and a team starting timofey fuckin mozgov Rick posted:I think the Warriors can adapt their gameplay to their personnel as the season goes on. Teams have won without rim protection and being poor rebounders before, with less offensive talent. I have no doubt the Warriors will win lots of games. They're already 4-2. I just don't think they can match up against big teams that are good at rebounding, and two of the biggest threats to them in the west can roll that out at will straight up brolic posted:Kevman has a good Nellie story if you have archives Is that the one where Don Nelson is a horrible cheapskate Declan MacManus fucked around with this message at 00:22 on Nov 8, 2016 |
