Official NBA 2016-2017 Thread - 30 teams, 1 goal. 2 weeks left, so much can happen!!

Golden State just need someone to hit some shots. The game is right there for them to take it but they need to start hitting those shots

Well creating turnovers and getting easy shots is probably the best defensive case for them.

They have to be pesky. I don't see them really dominating on all ends of defense. I see them being more invasive and disrupting.

Causing deflections that leads to easy buckets.
 
Damn... is Klay even setting his feet and squaring his shoulders?!?! I've never seen him THIS off for this many games before. Maybe playing in the Olympics wasn't good for him... :smh:
 
Whats not fair to the Warriors is that they are constantly going to be compared to last years club, the best regular season team in the history of the sport..
The thing about that club is they never had any let downs even after back to backs... So where's a regular team may get a pass for losing after a back to back, folks will be extra hard on the Warriors..
As far as me, I don't look at wins and losses too much, those things happen in sports, but instead I look for trends and weaknesses, and if a team seems to have the same problems day in and day out, even if they are winning (as in the Heat the first season ) it can still be a problem..

It's going to be a problem when you lack the personnel to fix it.

They're going to have to improve in areas based on who they have. Every teams has a weakness.

But truthfully, I believe games like last night is when they are in form and is likely what we'll see from them in the play-offs.

Word! KD acts like he can fight and shit! Joker keeps a frown on his face, ole Jeckyl and Hyde ass Nigga! :lol:
 
As bad as they are playing to only be down 8, I still see this as a 10 point minimum win for GS. Their too explosive to have EVERYBODY except Durant to stay off the whole 4th quarter. All they need is one other player to get hot and its a wrap... Lakers should have put their foot on their throats and put this game out of reach but they didn't...
 
The Lakers better wake up and realize that Ingram is not a point, he may have a decant handle for a big guy, but his shit is way below average for a point.
 
This is where Steve Kerr fails as a coach. The Warriors commit way to many turnovers. He has to start holding players accountable.
 
Damn... no matter what way you slice it, the Lakers beat the fuck out of these boys tonight! Cop all the pleas you want, but they were thoroughly beat from pillar to post from the opening tip! Very impressive performance by the Lakers! Damn, it's games like this when you realize just how much GS gutted itself to get KD, and how much chemistry was lost to bring him there... :smh:
 
Where all the folk that said KD going to GS is bad for the league?

I told y'all dumb asses it's good for the league because now you will have basement dwellers like the lakers actually playing and giving 100% when they play GS...

But besides that GS really ain't got shit to prove,, what win another 73+ games? They did it twice and won a chip once they ain't got nothing to prove..

Next game it will be back to same ole blowing folk out for fun

It's only 6 games into the season.. Relax dude... Come back after 20 games then you might have a point

I have a point name, I'm talking about THIS game. No predictions made about the entire season, but as for THIS game, they beat the fuck out of them point blank.. and the did gut the team to get KD... Not hard to see that bruh...

Agreed with the lakers thoroughly dominating; disagree with the chemistry and gutting; this game is one were they clearly didn't care about and the lakers did; simple as that....

So what the fuck happened??????? The Lakers that good or what?????? :roflmao2::roflmao2::roflmao2::roflmao2::roflmao2:

Nah... according to some of the posters here, none of these games count, because GS is finding themselves. I'm guessing when the end of the season comes, the league is actually going to disqualify all losses that took place before the 30th game of the season, since this is still GS's get to know you extended pre-season... The WINS they've had so far will count, but they will make allowances for all loses before February... :hmm:

Man there interior D is swiss cheese. Back door cuts, drives, they don't have an answer for anything inside. When Steph and Klay are struggling GS are not in for a long night when teams attack the basket.

Respect... shit was a good old fashioned ass whipping though... I won't cop pleas or make excuses like they didn't care about the game, etc. They just got their asses kicked! Maybe, just maybe the Lakers played better tonight is all... GS is not a team that can flip a switch and guarantee a win. Plus, I guess Klay hasn't given a fuck since October because he's been playing ass all season... :smh:
