well no, curry is still influencing the out come of games even tho he’s “off the court” according to bogus stats

so that is the confusing part

the warriors are missing by far their best and most valuable player and green is dogging it mike he does from time to time

who cares. the team isn’t good or interesting really

How does that work exactly? Like, the Knicks scored 132 points on them. Steph's defense isn't the difference-maker here; how did his absence make the other team shoot better? Is it just a morale factor?

Steph is a much better defensive guard than Poole, who starts when Steph is out.

Warriors are also missing Wiggins and Donte, who are both key defensive pieces, and are forced to play deep into their hot garbage bench.

The Warriors won the NBA Championship just last year, soundly defeating the Celtics 4-2 in a hard-fought series that was refreshingly light on injuries and excuses.

The Warriors won the NBA Championship just last year, soundly defeating the Celtics 4-2 in a hard-fought Finals series that was refreshingly light on injuries and excuses. Stephen Curry finally won the Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award! It will probably be the highlight of his star-studded career.

The lackluster Heat stumbled their way into the Eastern Conference Finals and somehow almost managed to beat Boston (which would have been a hugely embarrassing throw for the Celtics, but to their credit they held on in a pivotal Game 7). Jimmy Butler had basically no help, Bam looked out of his depth and the rest of his team looked Old. The Warriors would have cooked that Heat team.

Boston should have put away the lackluster Heat in four or five games if they wanted more rest.

Checked in on the West vs. East record... all of the "East>West" people in here got on the East bandwagon WAY too early. East is 75-89 against the West now this year. .457 winning percentage. The East has a record somewhere in between the Raptors and the Pacers against the West.

Last year was a fluke season for the East and only because Zion, Kawhi, PG3, AD, Lebron, Porter Jr., and Jamal Murray were out for enormous portions of the year. The only equivalent absences in the East were Kyrie, Lonzo Ball, and Mobley

PJ Tucker scored 0 points and a total of 4 rebounds in the pivotal Game 7 and posted a -16. If you watched you might recall that he looked extremely old and tired and was a big part of that loss.

if there were an actual non conference playoffs , the east would demolish the west

like the final four would all be east teams. maybe the final 8.

maybe not 8 as it would actually get fluky due to home court and referee shenanigans but final for for sure .

I disagree but most of what is dragging down the East is that they have like 6 godawful teams. The West only has three: OKC, Houston, and the Spurs.

The top 5 in the East are all great and the Knicks are a solid 6th seed. The Hawks and Heat are decent. Everything below that is trash

Last year's Championship Warriors team was a lot better than this one, and the two best players on the team are out. Without Curry and Wiggins this team stinks.
