2015-2016 Around the NBA

[Snarly]

Why? They are a really young team as it is. Why blow it up when you're a young team winning games? To go be Philadelphia?

They are young in the right places like our team is. I am tired of saying the same fucking thing over and over again. Until Curry and his Warriors can get five plus rings will I consider him and his team elite.

That said and again as a broken record. Our teams and LBJ teams always start out like this looking at the high speed teams. The west for the first time had a tempo team win a ring and good for them. However when you look at the four teams that "fight" them are the Cavs, spurs, and OKC. When the "mighty" Warriors win and reach 90's Bulls level will I even care to see them as a great team.

Cavs would have won the series with a healthy Kyrie and Love

arguably, altough not the popular opinion, and the warriors have gotten better.

Curry has gotten better. Which makes life easier on the rest of the team. Actually, Harrison Barnes has gotten better as well.

I don't think they'll pay the price to keep Barnes next summer unless they move Iggy first. Could be wrong though.

Iguodala is playing the best basketball of his career right now.

Fucking Iguodala man... If it weren't for the old man randomly stepping up and being a finals MVP we'd probably have won the championship despite all of our disadvantages. Those kids were seriously lucky to have him around, he made more of a difference than going small because the young bucks were terrified and way out of rhythym until he changed the pace and showed them they could win. I both respect and am greatly annoyed by him. Really just hope we get to go against them as a healthy team this year.

I think that's pretty unlikely considering how much they've already offered him.

Agree. Its similar to Pierce when he was in Washington. Look at them now...theyve clearly taken a step back. Cant wait for June basketball.

Green and Iguodala are better as well, although I'm not sure that ALL of these players can keep it up for an entire season. At least one of them is bound to regress, I'd have to think.

Someone has to bite the injury bug eventually on that team. Two years of healthy play in a row seems unlikely to me.

Did Memphis panic fire a coach? You keep hanging on to the Rockets being contenders all you want. I don't believe in the Howard+Harden combo until they show they are serious about leading a team.

EDIT: And huh? Ty Lawson was their starting PG. So they've got injuries to two backups....who doesn't have that excuse?

bev should've been the starter all along; the lawson experiment was a poor decision from the beginning then bev got hurt so they didn't have much choice (now turning to terry instead; also a bad option).

he is their starting pg and will be back in that role once he's fully recovered from injury.

edit: as an side, byron scott is so insanely terrible and i'm genuinely starting to feel for the young dudes because they're stuck dealing with the byron/kobe combo. it's just stunting their growth and racking up losses.

it is a little funny though how the lakers pulled within 5 with kobe on the bench. he re-entered with 3:40 left and they lost by 14. whoops.

ol' billy rolling with a lineup that has durant and westbrook on the bench at the same time.

bring back scott brooks my god.

They won by 30, I think he's doing just fine.

Not arguably...fact. We took them to 6 games with Lebron and no one , and I wasn't talking about this yr although if healthy, we will win

 

[Snarly]

Of course the Warriors got better as they basically were good before they got "great" and yeah remember when GS got the savior of basketball? This is a young yet still proving team who feels they are the best and have everything behind them and at this point yes they are. To those preaching the Warriors as the media or any other blow hard should know they are our foe and you know what. In my thoughts lets wait to see how "amazing" the G.S team is in the what I hope is the the Finals.

No this is not what a fact is.
