The Exceptions

[czvo]

i never said we can't beat the warriors i just think we need another defensive wing who can shoot and pass.

not that it will be easy to come by. we dont have much, a 1st, cedi and the exceptions.

I agree with this. The problem is those guys don't grow on trees. In fact, they're pretty rare.

Hmm....

Very interesting. Dmo just came back for Houston to so they have
Ariza, Dmo, T. Jones, Brewer, and Capela. Their front court is already full so you'd have to believe they would be willing to part with someone if they are trying to land Kieff.

 

[TitleTown]

can we all agree we probably need to do something to beat the warriors?

Yes. Get healthy.

But I don't think the Warriors make it out of the West. They look GREAT right now, but it's a marathon. They've been sprinting for a while. The psychological tax man will get paid sooner than later.

I completely disagree. The Warriors have been speed walking at the most. Curry's minutes are down and they're playing amazing basketball. Plus the bias towards them isn't going away, so they will constantly get the favourable calls. I'm not saying they will go undefeated, but this style of play is maintainable for them.

Mentally it will be stressful.

I'd take either Brewer or Terrence Jones if we could get em on the cheap. The way Tristan bogs down our offense, Terrence Jones would seem like an upgrade, he's athletic enough to run in these new small lineups the world has seemed to go erect over.

 

[pinoycavsfan]

id like ariza, dont know how the cavs would get him but he'd be perfect in a small ball line-up: irving/shump/ariza/lbj/TT

 

[Los216]

I would love to trade TT to HOU but they probably don't want him.

Lets make a bet: you can have the Warriors, and I get the rest of the West. What do you want to wager?

I bet the Warriors don't make it out of the West.

I bet the Warriors don't make it out of the West.

I'd take that bet any day. I dislike the team but I don't see a team outside of the Spurs being able to beat them out of the west.

I agree getting healthy is all we need to do IMO.

But they got there last year and are an even better team than before. So I don't see anyone in the west as a challenge to them

Make it a donation to the board bet, and you have a deal.

The Warriors are looking great, but the West is still the West. I'll take the field against any one team any day. Easy bet.

I need odds obviously because it's 1 vs 14. But honestly, I've never seen a team come off a finals victory and play so damn hard. Plus, Steph is just doing what he wants out there, and when he doesn't (as in scoring a measly 20 points), the rest of the team steps up. And it's a different guy every night. I don't see them losing more than 3 games in a series to any team in the league. I'm hoping Kyrie and Shumpert can bring the heart back to this team, but if they play with this sort of effort against the Warriors, we're going to get dominated. It's crazy how teams without as much talent as us (even when we're unhealthy), can give fits to the opposing teams like Golden State. It's all effort.
