GSW rotation for 1st half of season:
Curry
Poole
Wiggins
Green
Looney
Mulder
Lee
Toscano-Anderson
Porter
Bjelica
They're living off brand reputation at the moment, if we're healthy we should be comfortably ahead of them.

I think that they are gonna fight to be in the playoffs, but with Klay Thompson's injuries you never know anymore.
Without Klay their team is one of the weakest teams in the West, they have added Porter (but they lost Paschall) and that is it.
Bjelica was not a rotation player for the Heat last year, not sure why he is gonna help them being a year older this season.
And Wiseman did not look good, he will need time to impact the game.
All in all I think they will not be a problem for us. I am more concerned about the Lakers.

Yeah, they very well coud be the team that just gets in the playoffs as a lower seed (play-in?) due to them missing players in the first part of the season, and then gelling together, but then noone wants to meet them in the first round if they have a healthy and on-the-roll team by then. Klay 80%, Wiseman progressing, hungry rookies who had some burn in the regular season, with Curry and Draymond looking for revenge...could get ugly for someone as a higher seed in the first round if Curry drops 45 and wins one of the first 2 games...

People who think the warriors are contenders are still mentally in 2016.
Warriors are finished. Klay Thompson is finished. I would send him packing for the first available star that’s offered to me if I’m the warriors.
Healthy Klay warriors are 6-8. Unhealthy Klay, warriors are 8-10.
I’m not sure what people see in them.

Chris Paul's passion and commitment to the game is truly inspirational! I have to wonder though how many minutes he's going to actually be willing to sit with that much competitive fire??

It's really quite amazing how many Suns podcasts there are. Does anyone listen to all of them or even a fraction of them? Seems like they are almost all about the same things.

Weakest teams in the west? They were the 8th seed who almost beat the Lakers with LeBron and AD in the first play in...it took a crazy shot by LeBron to win it. And they made a ton of additions. That is not nearly what their lineup will look like above.

I only listen to the Timeline. When we were in the playoffs, I was listening to a couple others too for breakdowns etc but since then it's just been the Timeline. IMO it's the highest quality Suns podcast out there just in terms of content, research, podcast voices and release schedule. I also find their twitter content pretty good too.

MVP Curry was carrying that team solo to an 8th seed to almost beat the Lakers. Throw in some depth and an 80% Klay and they could certainly be a home court team in the West

Re: 2021-22 Season/Offseason Speculation
Agreed 100%. Those guys do an amazing job. They are super bright, very informative, really know their stuff, and make the podcast super interesting without it digressing into nonsense like the Solar panel and they don't bore you to tears with ads every 5 seconds like locked on. I also enjoy Max and David's 7 seconds of less pod when they put that out.lilfishi22 wrote:bwgood77 wrote:lilfishi22 wrote:I only listen to the Timeline.

I do not expect Klay to play enough to make a huge difference. Out for two years and yet injured.
They just added basically Otto Porter and lost Paschall. Iguodala is not playing more than 15 mpg and Kuminga is just 18 years old.

Do they still release new episodes on the SSOL podcast? Everywhere I've looked, it doesn't seem like they've released anything in a long time.
Solar Panel is a tough listen. Just can't stand Espo. Suns Jam session podcast is a better.
