Sounds like trending to be a historically all-time bad team if thats the case


Personally, I’m hoping that the “so it seems” part actually becomes reality.

What say u?


Think this is squarely a middle of the pack .500 team absent the loss of Bam or Herro and everything else is wild fan overreaction

I switched over to that game. He definitely looked more engaged.

I wouldn't mind Curry winning a 5th ring. Warriors roster has changed so much over his career it would be like the 3rd different team. I thought it was pretty cool when he won a ring post KD. I remember when he tore it up in NCAA tournament. I thought he was going to be a second rate JJ Reddick... I sure got that one wrong.


They have a team of REAL leaders. It might not go as smoothly, but they can stabilize the ship until they figure it out. Crazy how people live on the Heat board for years and don't know anything.


Wild how a team of "real leaders" have the same amount of losses on the season as a Miami team that was dealing with the most turmoil in the NBA to date. Crazy how people can just show up and show their whole a&& so suddenly.

Fun narrative tho.

so...yea.

Didn't watch, how were they?


First quarter we looked like a really good and competent team, played defense like we haven't played in awhile. Everything else was hellish. I think it was mainly our bench. We almost made a comeback to start the third, but Bench came in and Tatum never went out-- scorched us.

Too inept on offense to make mistakes with rotation, but I think I seen some things to be optimistic about in that game

True to form Davion Mitchell can't shoot. He needs a consistent shot to stick on this roster. Decent debut for Wiggins. Biggest irk was Ware being made to stand at the top of the key caused us to miss out of rebounds and second chance opportunities. Spo has this use of Ware so wrong. Out side of that and the pushoffs from Tatum I can't complain.

Losing to the Jazz by 36 at home may not have been historically bad but, pretty pathetic none the less.

One of several ugly nights for the team this season

Got out rebounded by 25 in that game

Again, maybe not historically bad, but ugly none the less.

Warriors ain't winning chit this year, and they'd have to either have a crazy good off-season or have Kuminga finally become a legit star to have a chance next season. And this is coming from someone that roots for them after the Heat lol.

The Celtics were just missing wide open shots the first quarter the defense was average at best this is why I can't take +/- and defensive/offensive ratings seriously as a stat.

Idk, I liked our play in the first and start of the third, but yes it was probably a mixture of factors
