I just put $110 down on the Clippers to cover the spread but D'Angelo is CARRYING the Warriors right now. Dude is on fire


I'm so proud of him. Let's use this thread to keep track of our boy and ALSO discuss other games during the season.

Warriors getting spanked !!! Those Clippers are foreal and I've had them as the champions before the season started and my predictions are looking good. If Kawhi gets a chip with the Clips, that will put him in the GOAT category.

On the other hand, Warriors roster looks bad on paper. I'm not sure about that Warriors pick.

Derrick Rose is back !

Trae Young is Steph Curry little brother. He's going to be a problem.

This Westbrook - Harden experiment is pretty fascinating.

At times it looks like it's going to be a real mess, like when WB is just standing around the three point line being borderline useless, or when he's a little too out of control, moving too fast and throwing risky passes.

OTOH last night against MIL, he hit 3/7 from three, shot acceptably overall, and hauled in an amazing 16 boards. I thought he'd have a big problem hitting high rebound numbers outside of Adams and the OKC system, but no.

And he's still a whirlwind. There really is nobody quite like him, far as I can tell.

Good idea. We should also use this thread to track our other former Nets players from last season. Also Vince with this being his last year.

And PG13 has not even stepped foot on the court.... ........

Brook was beasting on them in the 4th after Giannis fouled out

Yeah they are clearly elite right now.

When KD comes back they will be the ones standing in our way.

TBH I was just watching that game in patches, and I missed some seriously intense sequences like that.

Now one thing I was confused as hell about is, like-- when is the TIME to play Robin, vs. Brook?

It's funny, each brother can look absolutely DREADFUL at certain aspects of the game, yet out of nowhere, totally a back-breaker for the other team. I don't know whether to crack up, to nod my head in deep respect, or what, LOL.

Yeah, at first I was excited that Russ ended up in a good situation but GSW are going to be booty this season and the future looks uncertain with Klay's + Green's injuries.

Also, caught the end of that Rockets/Bucks game and Giannis fouled out with 6 mins to go and our boy Brook cooked Russ, Beard and co... Bucks are a VERY deep squad. Matthews and Illyasova were also huge. Clips and Bucks have looked the most impressive so far early on this season.

Yeah... We're not getting that GSW pick. That team has no shot at the playoffs.

Brook was KILLING the Rockets. I was going nuts watching that.

The league has gotten a much needed infusion of good young players as of late. RJ Barrett is going to be a stud. Hunter from Atlanta is going to be a stud. Morant will be a top 10 player in the sport. KAT is starting to become a dominant player. Trae Young is pouring in buckets. I'm loving this right now.

Curry is out. We're not getting that pick SMFH we never get lucky with picks falling our way whatever. Let's see what Russell does with the keys now. This dude Nunn on the HEAT looks legit.

Within the last few games, the Warriors have now lost Durant, Thompson, Livingston, Iguodala and Curry, plus some of their rotation guys.

The only thing left is for Draymond to go down and Kerr's back problems to take him out, both possibilities which already seem completely irrelevant at this point.

I mean, dynasties don't come around very often, but... were even the '99 Bulls dismantled this quickly?

whatever happens is for best. We really deep team with young talent that ain't developed yet. Right now Musa and Nic can't even dream about min while we trying to build some chemistry. I'm not sure they'll be able to get consistent minuets next year.

No, we need picks. Do we even have our pick next year? I think we traded it for Prince. We can always use the picks, we can always trade it for a player or we can draft a guy that is raw and turns out to be great in 3 years or so like Gobert etc.. Picks are an asset.

That SFW pick won't lose it value, actually it will be more valuable year after. We will get some time to evaluate our role players by than.

We don't have our own pick, but we have the Sixers pick.

I forgot that we have the sixers pick. Too bad the Warriors had sense enough to protect that pick, they're lottery bound.

It's not even that, the Warriors pick doesn't roll over to the next year or w/e, it becomes a 2nd round pick in 2025 if its not conveyed to us in 2020 (and it won't). And that essentially makes it useless and bizarre.

We do? How did we get that? I don't even remember getting that pick but ok I'm cool with that, even though it will be #30 because everytime we own another teams picks we always pick last.
