The Warriors are the Clarion Call for the Celtics need of a healthy return of Hayward and Kyrie as well as adding another Top 20 player to the team while keeping Tatum. Then they can smote them Ragnarok style... :)

Tatum has been nice but Mitchell is absolutely better.

Pelicans are shook right now though. Warriors are scary

Keep in mind that Curry is 30 years old and that they eventually won't be able to pay all of these guys (Draymond himself even alluded to this recently), so their run of dominance may not last long as we think.

But yeah. They will win it this year and likely next year barring injuries.


Woah, in light of my most recent...Curry is 30?


Dray and Klay are 28. Durant 29. Steph 30. I think salary cap will break them up before they age to the point of not being title favorites.

Yeah. Klay is probably already gone after next year.

Indy showing better than I expected.

I will believe they can pull it off when I see it and not a moment sooner, but, they certainly have nothing to be embarrassed about.

If Bron Bron loses that will dominate the NBA news cycle of where he is going, it’s going to be insufferable.

Refs aren't gonna let Cleveland lose IMO which sucks. However, if Toronto can't beat LeBron this year they'll never beat him.

LeBron is **** embarassing. Dude's 250-260 pounds, 6'8 made of steel and every time someone touches his he's on the ground holding his head or arm or whatever and then in 10 seconds he's right back up like it never happened. This guy will never ever be the GOAT for me. Wish he played in the late 80's eary 90's. He's been way too spoiled and protected by the league.
Good assessment:

I blame the league/refs more than I blame LeBron. If I knew I could get calls by faking s*** I would do it too. You'd be a fool not to.

Yup. At some point if you're asking guys to not be dramatic, you're asking them to consciously do less than possible to help their team win.

This needs to be fixed at a level above the players.

Someone tell the Pacers missing open shots isn't a recipe for winning a game 7 on the road. Man, their shots to start the 4th are all flat. Bring in Dipo. He was at least attacking the rim.
