Trouble in Golden State?

[kozlodoev]

Curry submitted to him, he should not have.

Durant had Zach Randolph on him. He just took an awful, lazy shot.

They did blow a 14pt lead in the 4th quarter on Xmas and now blew a 20pt lead here. Probably just an abnormality but surprising to see happen twice so close together.

I really don't see it being a big issue.  I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here and things will work its way out in regards to chemistry.  Also, it looks a lot more of just "Draymond being Draymond".

It is a bit surprising the Spurs are only a game back of them for homecourt throughout? It seems like Aldridge, Leonard and 38 year old Gasol should not be winning at as similar a pace as Durant, Curry, Thompson, Green.

Spurs are a helluva team.  It's a lot more than just LMA, Leonard, & Gasol.   That team is deep, plays extremely sound basketball, has a roster that totally gels in terms of complementary parts, and they have Pop.

trouble ?

You bet


Luke Walton is not coaching !  Dynasty over!

[Denis998]

I hope they implode.

[Who]

Looks like Draymond is being a good teammate and Durant is being self-involved.

Durant needs to learn to play more team basketball. That was a terrible possession and decision he made there.

I am not impressed with the Spurs.

I think they are a paper tiger. Won't hold up under playoff pressure.

I would love to see GSW sweat. I hope Milsaps goes to the Thunder. They can make the WCF with him. He would be perfect with Russell.

Is your definition of "paper tiger" getting bounced before the conference finals?

DGreen behaved like someone who knew what was going to happen and disapproved. I liked Pho's comment above, and I also think GSW still has some things to figure out. This is hardly a surprise, since they have 4 players who can score 30 any night.

Beyond that, I would not read too much into this incident. As Kozlodoev wrote, it´s p clear from the second vid that they talked it over and it's not a big issue.

The Warriors are a team that needs to score 120+ almost every night to get a win.

Notice how they are 0-5 against the Rockets, Spurs, Grizzlies and Cavaliers (I think they are.. correct me if I'm wrong).

4 of their six losses have come when they haven't scored more than 115 (and the other two were games that went to OT).

Maybe on paper they should stroll through the West fairly easily.. but teams with bigs can give them a hard time, especially late in the season with fatigue/injuries possibly kicking in (their bench depth isn't great either). Also, the Spurs and Rockets are within two games of the Warriors for #1 in the West, so while they have the best record in the NBA, it's not like they are running away with the conference.

Cavaliers are still the most complete team in the NBA IMO, but Spurs and Rockets (if Harden stays healthy and keeps it up) could have a chance to beat them in the playoffs. Rockets are likely targeting a big to help them as well (if they get Millsap, watch out).

The Warriors have a top 5 scoring defense in the NBA.  They don't need to put up 120 every night.

If you consider Green's interaction with Durant "talking it over" I would be terrified to have dinner with you.

Good chance of that, yes.

I meant it more so San Antonio being mentioned as a Contender but not Toronto or Boston. I do not the Spurs are better than Toronto or Boston.
