Warriors offensive system looks amazing as usual. They're not even doing something crazy sophisticated, but it's the same principles as the title team and the players have bought in

Getting Poole to upgrade and bringing in Iggy and Bjelica has helped a ton.

AD with 39 mins. Lebron with 37 mins. No one else in double figures. These guys are going to need to carry a heavy load.

Either the box score is wrong or you can't do math sir.

So far there's nothing to suggest that that's the case.

Are you insane?? you don't think the 6ers can do better than Russ for Simmons? There is no way the 6ers would entertain that deal for a second

Sixers couldn't get Dame or Beal for Simmons and you think they could get Russ!? :lol:

According to actual math, he shot 56.5%.

37 mins for Bron
39 mins for AD

These guys won’t hold up with these types of mins

That one might actually be deserved though

Imagine thinking Westbrook was a big 3 with Lebron and AD lol. Dude might be the worst player on the roster based on his negativity he brings on both ends

I got to wake up for work in roughly 4 hours...

Still worth it, in the future I will say to my children I saw Larry Bird's european son play his 1st game wearing the golden mantle.

LeBron and AD look healthy, that's all I'm concerned with right now.

Warriors won't be good defensively this year, Lakers just suck offensively right now. 0-6 preseason and just ugly iso offense with no 3pt shooting right now.

levon · Post #1075 » by **levon** » Wed Oct 20, 2021 4:48 am

weirdly the actual difference was the foul game. Warriors shot 30 free throws despite being a perimeter team, and made 25. Lakers only 19, with only 9 made, and not a lot of shots at the rim. I think that's where the super fast pace has negative effects

both teams were about equal otherwise

The most hilarious thing there was the dagger shot opened up because Westbrook was positioning himself for a rebound instead of rotating.

BlackThought · Post #1077 » by **BlackThought** » Wed Oct 20, 2021 4:48 am

It's going to be a sad year for Westbrook. He can't even fight his teammates for rebound because there are too many ex-allstars on the team and they won't put up with that bs.

I mean he is who we thought he was. He'll be a huge PRO more times than a con but it's definitely going to take him some time to find his space on this team. He'll be alright.

Yeah, he definitely ran out of gas in the second half. Altogether though I thought he looks really good. He was moving much better and seemed to have some of his athleticism back. They've gotta figure out way to limit his minutes so he doesn't lose steam throughout the season.

Who wins tonight?
