That knee didn't stop him from baking Durant in the series before that, is that something they should worry about?
The CAvs are much deeper this season and the Warriors bench is much more shallow, as far as KD and Thompson, the Cavs will play LeBron and JR on them, play Irving on Curry, and have the option of playing either Dunleavy, Fry or Thompson at the 4 and Thompson, Birdman or Fry at the 5..
If you look at the number lines for the Warriors during the preseason their big three stats are consistantly something like this, 27, 19. 22 (depending who's has the hot hand that day) the problem is the numbers of Green appear to be down, they are getting nothing from the 5 spot and their bench production is way down from last season..
I know this is the preseason and too early to make a call, but all indications are exactly what I predicted, where instead of the pie getting bigger with the addiction of Durant, all that is happening is that the slices are being cut differently...
Unless they show they can create more shots, via more turnovers or rebounds, basically they are the same or even worse of a team from last year..
Even in that last game vs the Lakers where the big three appeared to look so great, in actuality their shooting numbers was almost identical with the Lakers, with L.A. shooting better from the three, the Warriors shooting slightly better from the field, Lakers with a slight advantage in rebounds, but what made the score the way it was, was the careless turnovers by the Lakers...
My question is how are the Warriors going to hold up vs a team that knows how to take care of the ball as well as shoot for a high %, rebound and play defense, because if 27,19,and 22 is going to be the baseline scoring for the big three, who is going to fill in the points if they happen to play a team who is able to reduce their baseline numbers, in the past it was players like Green and the bench, but with the bench much weaker and Green not getting the same touches with Durant on the team, this team becomes way too dependent on their stars production than they were at this time last year and to me it makes them less dangerous in certain situations..

By mid season Doc is going to realize that he don't have the squad he thinks he has.. The thing about veteran teams is that you cannot trick or fool them with coaching, they know what it is.. And as soon as the core realize they do not have the guns to compete against the younger more athletic teams, well mentally they are going to pre-retirement stage, where their minds are on what are they going to do after basketball more than what they are doing now..
You saw it in Kobe last year and at times it got ugly, so just imagine a whole team doing that shit.
I know it was just a pre-season game that should not matter, but I did see the look on several of the Clipper players yesterday, and if they come off to a slow start its only going to get worse and worse... I would not be the least bit surprised if they wind up blowing up that team, come mid season...

This is what I see wrong with the Warriors, they are better when Curry is on that cheat mode but this year going on cheat mode comes at the cost of points from Durant, Green and Thompson, last year he was able to do it with in the flow of the offense... Until/if they solve this problem I don't see them being better than last year, especially with their weak defense in the paint..

They still have the same strengths, if you cannot shoot and rebound they still can shoot you out the building, there is no problem with this... Its that I see weaknesses this year that I haven't seen last year, one of them is if you hit your shots and rebound they have trouble getting enough shots for their shooters..
Now this isn't going to come to play vs most teams, but vs a team like the Cavs who can rebound, attack the paint and play defense this may be a problem...

There is things both teams did right/wrong its one game let alone preseason, all I am saying is that there are areas of concern that I would be looking at if I were coaching the Warriors, don't matter how many points they score, this is what they do and what they did last year.. I would be more worried about their interior defense, scoring off the half court set or vs a set defense and rebounding...
I don't see them scoring more than they did last year, and if this be the case its the other departments that will determine how far they advance.
