Seeds 3-6 are still a complete toss up. I expect the Warriors to fall to 5th or 6th.
i think warriors fall to 5th, but right now i think i worry more about Clippers even with just PG than warriors. they brought in George seemlessly and whi knows when the warriors will truly be 100%.

Yeah that's fair, especially with Draymond not looking right since his return.

Kerr will be back to top 10 coach in history status... just as soon as Curry returns.

Kerr's problem is that he never adjusts his system without Curry.

And he still just absolutely bizarre stuff with his rotations - when you have Curry, Durant, pre-injury Klay, and younger Draymond, you can do that, but with this current team with the amount of young players they have, I just don't get it.

Just Bill Simmons shooting the ****?


He does have some legit sources in the league. He also lives in LA and was a season ticket holder for the Clippers for a long time. He probably has even more sources within that particular team. He basically said he heard from people within the team that they think Kawhi’s gonna be back for Round 1. Obviously it’s far from a certainty and anything could happen, but it makes sense. Of course I have $250 on the Clippers to win the West at 40:1 so I want to believe. :D


Gotcha - can't blame you for the hope then.

But Kawhi is notoriously tight with injury updates, I doubt anyone knows anything real. And Simmons is notorious for putting out rumors that rarely materialize.

You're not alone. I trust him as a great leader with a system that they can best excel with under Curry, but he has yet to show much beyond that.

Meanwhile, Lue has had FOUR 25 point comebacks win this year without either of his stars. They have a guy named J. Scrubb.

Give Lue WS with healthy Curry,Draymond they would win the west over Suns. Clippers are winning without their best scorers,defenders with players much less talented than Poole,Kuminga, Moody, Wiggins,Porter. Poole or Coffey? there is no comparison. Lue has come far from Cav teams that relied mostly on Lebron,he showed last playoffs too.

Maybe time to move on from those two as well


Absolutely not.

Let’s not forget the Warriors were the NBA 1 seed (projected NBA 11 seed) and can obviously win the ship with a healthy Curry/Draymond. The Suns are the much healthier and deeper team this season though.
