Paul Zuvella posted:Yeah, I don't but that even slightly. Every team is worse when their bench is on the floor, but to say that the starters are not playing a lot is completely false. I think this is the tweet I saw. Warriors do play a lot of garbage time compared to other teams so it could bring their numbers down a bit. This was over a week ago so maybe the numbers have changed. https://twitter.com/DeanO_Lytics/status/800816905049219072

Lockback posted:Blazers and Thunder will both probably be in the playoffs unless you have some weird view on what the Western Conference is going to look like. They've also beat the Raptors, Celtics, Hawks and Bucks so they are doing a pretty good job against Eastern playoff teams too. The warriors are playing fine, they are a victim of unrealistic expectations, but by almost any metric they are playing better than any other NBA team right now. Blazers looking extremely questionable in my mind. Tied with LA, their defense is an obscenity, and I could absolutely see any one of Nawlins, Sacramento, or Denver out pacing them down the stretch. If (gigantic, almost mythical if) New Orleans gets all three of Jrue, Tyreke, and Tony Davis healthy and stays that way, I'll be very surprised if they don't.

The Nuggets biggest problem is that they still have no idea what their starting line-up is, or even who should start at center The Kings are not going to the playoffs because something stupid is going happen to them just like every year for the last 2 decades Jesus christ, the pelicans were literally the worst team record-wise at one point and now they have more wins than the timberwolves

The 8th seed is almost never good. Almost.

Look I hate the Warriors too, as much as I've ever hated any sports team, or any organization of human beings, but let's not pretend they're actually vulnerable and the West is wide open. What flaws they have will be covered up by their preposterous array of offensive options and ability to get away with being extremely handsy/dirty on defense, especially in the playoffs when the rotations get shorter and they've got momentum/narrative. They're going to cruise to the finals, where they'll either win handily or get dad-dicked by LeBron. That part's up in the air. But the West isn't.

I'm not sure that they have the rep to get away with that kind of defense at all. The only dude they have with a reputation as a stopper of the type that usually gets to be physical is Green, who has also gotten a rep as a dirty player who kicks and fondles wieners. Curry and Durant are regarded as soft and don't get any special defensive treatment. Klay is considered good but not in the way that say, Artest or Tony Allen were/are that lets you get away with muggings. They're actually going to be faced with more guys who get leeway on other teams, like CP3, Paul Pierce (probably too old and busted to matter), Kawhi, and potentially the entire Grizzlies team.

Nurkic needs to get out of his slump. Malone needs to stop loving around with smallball in the 4th. Mudiay needs to stop taking his lovely little fadeaways in traffic and turning the ball over constantly. Jamal Murray, you're cool

When GSW's defense is bad it tends to be a combination of not trying very hard and Curry. When Curry is active on defense he ends up being a decent defender. When he's spaced out on D (which is like 50% of the time) he ends up running into a screen and their perimeter defense turns to poo poo. This is compounded by Durant being an absolute monster on D when he's focused but he also tends to space out. Against a good high pnr team I think they can't play Curry and Zaza together. It's just like team usa when they had melo and kyrie on the floor.

The best warrior line-up involves Green at center and you're not going to see that line-up as a major minutes thing until the playoffs so like I said, the regular season feels kinda random for them.

https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA/status/804848593089732609 I think the Rockets match, even if D-MO's back is totally shot it's still just an 18 month commitment. Honestly, Brooklyn could have offered 3 guaranteed years and almost surely gotten him, so maybe they weren't as comfortable with his health as they claimed? I hope that's not the case, I think he'll look good in D'Antoni's system. houstonguy fucked around with this message at 02:17 on Dec 3, 2016 |

And it's not really that much higher than what they offered him. They should've gone with more like 2/30 guaranteed or something. I'd bet he'll match.
