I'm a Warriors fan for a long time already but to be honest, I don't see them to reach the NBA Finals anymore with their current roster. They're more focused on the offensive rather than the defensive. Just my opinion.

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.

What a game for LA lakers dominating the game. I can't believe the intensity this Lakers showed that game. I don't know what they will do now, when the NBA season is finally going to come. This season is bright for Lakers.

They dominated the Warriors but this is just a pre season, however, the way they played, they are so scary especially when Davis are getting that offensive rebound and will do a put back dump. I think I'm gonna put a little for them winning the NBA championship this season, they have a very tall line up and they are fast as well.

I agree man. I'll be putting amount for them to get the title. Their height advantage take the first preseason game. We all know that Steve Kerr will put Draymond Green at the center position that could be taken advantage by McGee and AD. Lacking of Klay makes the game even harder for the warriors.

It looks like we are going to see Lebron as the point guard for the Lakers again. With tall guys around him like AD and McGee, the job is much easier now.

I remember the time when Lebron is still on the Cavaliers and single handedly (not single but he did the most part) put his team on the Finals but unfortunately lost to the Warriors 4-0

Now he can again do what he want again in Lakers and now with the more stronger roster with AD and McGee and also Howard in the paint, he can go into any position he wants too but most of the time he will be a point guard. So yes we will see a Point Guard Lebron this season.

I don't agree with the prediction, I believe GSW will be included in the top 8.

Thats just a prediction anyway, that doesnt mean its guaranteed. But of course this is based on sports analysis. Chris Webber is a vet in the NBA too. So, he probably knows how to evaluate every team and individual players.

Quote from: Maslate on October 06, 2019, 01:36:23 AM

Yes, Thompson was injured but its expected that he will return next season, although it will be late in the season, so this means that they have a chance to be at least qualified in the playoffs.

According to this https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/warriors-klay-thompson-will-return-late-next-season-father-mychal-says

You mean "This" season, rather than "Next" season isnt?
Because we're talking about this year's NBA season.

Thats why I said :

Quote from: Oasisman on October 06, 2019, 01:20:09 AM

Im afraid the GSW will miss the playoffs this year if Thompson remains unhealthy for the rest of the season.

That means, If Klay comes back late in the season, that doesnt mean he's fully recovered. Of course they'll have to limit his minutes to avoid further injuries while on the process of total recovery.

They are once a champion team, at least give them a chance to be included in top 8.
Yeah, they got dominated but Klay wasn't playing and Curry only played low minutes and that's just a preseason, things will be different in the regular season. That's his prediction but I will oppose on that as I have warriors to be at least in top 8, and I don't want to underestimate them.

Whatever reason GSW had, a loss is always a loss. There should be no excuses. Lakers killed them, no doubt about it plus the fact that Davis and James didn't go on full time makes their win more convincing. Props to them, they did a great job. There's a new terror in town, watch out Grin

.

Going back on the issue of standings, I still believe that Curry can pull this off. The only question is that will they be the last team standing until the end? For me they can make it into the quarter finals but I have a strong feeling that they are not going to championship this year.

Even if Thompson returns, he will not have his minutes back right away. So it will only be just a little help coming from him. If the warriors really want to get to the playoffs, Curry, Russel, and Green should be working hard, double-time. And hope that on the playoffs, Thompson will be 100% healthy and ready to help them to at least get back to the finals.

I doubt they will make it without Thompson..
Klay has been an underrated player and we will see his importance now that he will not be able to play for maybe a lot of games in this season to come.
With curry's weak defense, I think they will not be the same GSW who are really good as they have good shooters.

It's Russel's show now, hopefully he can give what is expected from him, and he will be able to improve his stats now that Thompson is out.
They also need a good 3 point shooter as curry alone cannot do it all night, he can easily get defended and will have some off nights where we can barely witness on Thompson.

Which team? Dallas or Warriors?
It's an opinionated list and the criteria of being a past champion probably has the least weight here. It's based mainly on the current roster. And if you are talking about Dallas, that team is long gone.

The same could be said with the Lakers team or any other team.

It's nice to see Dallas makes it to top 8 in C Web's list. Looking at the Warriors recent performance, they could be battling for the fifth to eight spot.

That's right. Especially LA Lakers whose line-up is focused on inside games with LeBron dictating their tempo. Based on their game on pre-season against GSW, the Lakers seems to be unstoppable inside the paint and that's a big problem for most of their opponents.

I have watched the highlights of the Lakers vs GSW game and the Lakers simply dominated the shaded area with Lebron, Davis and McGee. To be honest they have good inside players and a good backcourts too. If there will be no injuries for them throughout the whole season, there is a big chance that they will reach the playoffs this season but still don't expect too much for them even their roster is better now compare to the their roster last season.

Im confident that the Lakers will secure a top seed to enter the playoffs. With AD in addition to the roster alone is already a huge move for the Lakers management. When they signed AD thats an automatic playoff-bound for the Lakers.

I have watched the game too, and offensively I can say the Lakers easily dominated the game from every area in the field, and youre right, most of these areas are were AD, Lebron, and McGee positioned themselves.
Im afraid the GSW will miss the playoffs this year if Thompson remains unhealthy for the rest of the season.

Here some playoff prediction from Chris Webber :

Chris knew the GSW lost too much intensity without KD and Klay.
Now, the NBA fans have just realized how underrated Klay was. Steph and Green wont make it alone. I know DLo is in their current roster, but I doubt he wont make enough impact this year with GSW this year.

I don't agree with the prediction, I believe GSW will be included in the top 8.

Good thing with the Lakers is they have Lebron who drives the ball inside, he is more confident now and he really take this team to the finals again.
The warriors line up looks so small against the Lakers and Davis is showing his usual star calibre plays, and that's why he is one of the favorite players in the NBA, I'm hoping for his good health and that he will be able to finish the regular season and the off season healthy.

He could learn how to work off the ball. Less dribbles

I agree but look at how the rotation of the ball is in Houston, the rotation goes with Harden->Harden->Harden. What I mean is he is the one controlling the offense. He could pass but the ball's possession is always on his hands. Although now, with Russ, this could be more interesting. The triple-double machine.

He will definitely be a good addition in LA Clippers. What do you think about a team built with tight defensive core?
I dont know but I have a strong feeling the LAC will definitely chase this trade.

He already played with Paul George before and playing with the other guys shouldn't be a problem.

Thats why I think this trade between the OKC and LAC will happen. Neverthless, with this addition to LAC will just make the competition in the Western conference even more tighter. LAC, Lakers, and Rockets are gonne be rocking the top seed in the west for sure.

There was an interview with James Harden saying that he will have an upgrade this season. I'm guessing that this might be it.

Even though these kind of shots are only made for fun or during HORSE games, i guess he could do it in an actual game and he's practicing this and honing this to excellence.

That's not an upgrade. While I'm not underestimating him to improve his accuracy on that shot, it's not what his team needs to win a championship.

He could learn how to work off the ball. Less dribbles

That adjustment will makes him more dangerous, If he will not hold the ball long and he play in particular rotations it will gives the entire squad to keep finding the open man before taking the shot. This would be the type of game where he and WB will make a good chemistry together. We all
knows how fans anticipate them but if change happen now, it will be more exciting to see them play together.
