Warriors seems confident that they were able to replace Iguodala and even Livingston's defensive capabilities.
I know that they are no longer the favorite and I also doubt that they can reach Western conf. finals even if they have Klay but I still want to see what their young squad can do. It was only a few years ago when Steph was dubbed as the baby face assasin there. Now, he is the oldest in their roster.
I know that this is just the pre-season but I think GSW will not be really a big of a deal this season, unlike the recent one. Steph is still great, I mean 18 minutes in the court with 18 points,3 rebs, and 2 assts, that is just amazing. But as a whole, they are not that scary as a team. We don't know still, it is just a prediction and I might be wrong.
They are no longer scary because they no longer possess that same offensive firepower. Opposing teams are also familiar with their style of play.
With Durant and other key players out, we'll see if the new replacements can fill in those big shoes.
They are still the same team as the system that's running around is still available the same one like before, the only catch now is familiarities between new players and how the splash bro will manage to compete with those upgraded teams. Though the best thing is the main core of the team still there, they just need boost and help everyone to be more familiar with the system.
Not the same team. The same system doesn't mean the new guys have the same capabilities as the one they replaced.
