I’m delusional and I think we can compete with some tweaks. Steph still commands doubles and all this attention and as long as he does that gives us a chance. We do need to find someone that can hit some shots though. We find a big that can shoot and be adequate defensively that gives us a shot. We're not far off from the 5th seed. I think we'd be able to hang with the top of the west in a 7 game series.

Well not that I agree but seeing Dallas in the WCF will almost certainly give our FO the copium they need to believe this is possible.

We actually have the personnel to guard Dallas. Since we have multiple Luka defenders. We actually probably struggle more with Ky. Take Klay off the team and Dray doesn't get suspended and we're probably a top 5 seed as is.

When you get past Doncic and Kyrie and you look at the Dallas roster it’s not a World beater.

Gafford
Lively
Washington
DJJ
Green
THJ
Exum
Hardy

TJD
Looney
Green
Wiggins
Moody
Thompson
GP2
Podz

But I also think the Mavs roster is an example of you need that #2 guy to pickup the slack when the other guys on the bench or not hitting shots. Outside of some rewind Klay games it felt like it was Steph or nothing all year. The previous year Poole ran hot some games and that masked some of the 47 missed games by Wiggins, and 26 missed games by Steph, and Klay not playing back to backs.

People say this but the team was mostly healthy for the play-in game, only missing GP2, and they got smoked by the Kings.

The Warriors perimeter defense and their front court are my main concerns. Dray and TJD are ok for the regular season but will mostly be unplayable together in the postseason.

Letting Klay walk is a start but the roster is in desperate need of length and athleticism just like they were after getting knocked out by the Lakers the previous season.

Unfortunately it sounds more and more likely that the team will keep Steph, Klay and Dray together for the next couple of seasons.

We have the personnel to guard Lively and Gafford? News to me.

Did Klay play that game?

Kerr has always been slow to adapt, which is why he's been terrible in these 1 game elimination games. He can't see what's going on during the game.

We actually have length and athleticism we just need to play it in the right roles and Klay leaving opens up opportunities so we can play the length and athleticism. JK at the 2 will wreak havoc, he would actually draw double teams on the low block and makes us physical, long and athletic across the board. We just need a big that can shoot to make that happen. Get me a Jalen Smith and we'd be good.

Curry/Podz
JK/GP2
Wiggins/Moody
Dray/Gui (52 - Bridges)
Smith/TJD

We're switching everything. They going to post up Wiggins/Moody. Would love to see them score 100 points that way.

We do need a #2. But if you put JK at the 2. Who is Ky guarding? Steph/JK/Wiggins/Dray. JK gets Ky in the post and the Mavs will double.

Bro they are going over both of them. Come on. Are you watching the playoffs?

EvanZ · Post #14 » by **EvanZ** » Thu May 23, 2024 6:55 pm

I would have killed to get Lively on this team and they have not only Lively but Gafford. Both better than anyone we’ve had for years.

Seriously, you're concerned that lively and gafford will post our wings? Yea, I'll take my chances and, for the record, Onus and I agree on practically nothing.

I like Lively but the gap between gafford (3 teams in 5 seaosns) and tjd is much smaller than you indicate.

I was all in for trading up for Lively.

You think they're getting 40 points if they don't get any lobs and they have to create everything themselves?

I'd rather have podz.

You'd trade Podz for Allen, Turner, Carter Jr. but not Lively?
