There’s something off about this Warriors team.

very impressive performance by the lakers tonight with lebron out

not just getting the W but blowing out the warriors on their home court. the kids are going to have to keep it up because lebron's injury looked like a groin

Lakers w/o LeBron > Warriors!

 

[Melrose Munch]

wow the warriors are disjointed

klay has been very off this season and i think that's a big part of it

Makes me think whether the Draymond and KD issue was just the tip of the iceberg.

 

[Terry Yake]

steph thinks the warriors could beat the 3-peat lakers but they can't even beat the zubac/rondo lakers

lols

Maybe that Toronto blowout wasn't a one-off thing

i think they need another all-star

Great win by the Lakers. Zubac... What can I say? Just 2 weeks ago fans wanted him off the roster. He's sure made the most of his opportunity.

he's been an interesting case during his few seasons

he showed flashes of brilliance his rookie season but it was clear he wasn't NBA ready. then last season he pretty much got no chances. now he's finally proving that what we saw in his rookie year might not be a fluke after all. his defense is still shaky but he had quite the night defensively tonight. new training regimen? added muscle? not sure. but its clear he needs a good facilitator to be productive (lebron and rondo.) lets just say if he had broken into the league 20 years ago he'd be a stud

no way luke can send him back to the bench when mcgee returns. give him consistent minutes and rest chandler for the big time matchups

 

[Reality Check]

Makes me think whether the Draymond and KD issue was just the tip of the iceberg.

They also have no desire to play in the regular season.

Steve Kerr went through this as a player with the Bulls and now as a coach with Golden State. Which is why he has laughed at the thought of the Bulls continuously winning more titles during Jordan's baseball/gambling sabbatical or if the Bulls were brought back for another run after '98.

Nice to see Zubac doing this. Anyone who knows who he is as a player knows he is capable of this. There’s no reason he can’t be a 16/10 player in the league.

Frustrating thing is that Zizic is better than him and is not getting a chance to play, hopefully all of Bender, Zizic and Hezonja leave for Europe to get better and not see their careers be ruined beyond repair.

bender would be smart to leave for europe

he's nowhere near NBA ready

The 2019 Warriors remind me a lot of the 2004 Lakers.

not sure why

the 04 lakers were running over the entire league before malone got hurt. i think they were 18-3 at the time of his injury

warriors are looking shaky because klay and green haven't been themselves. even steph has looked a bit off since returning from injury. not to mention he's being used off the ball a lot for some reason

 

[Voight]

I still expect the Warriors to go 12-0 or close to it in the western playoffs. Who's going to stop them? Houston, who's barely .500?

Side note - seeing LBJ hurt was weird. It just doesn't happen.

In terms of personnel turmoil. I feel like there are underlying issues on that Warriors team that we still don't know about - KD/Draymond issues withstanding.

They also severely lack depth, like that 04 Lakers team.

 

[Jussi]

Oh look, Lavine back and Bulls are losing and Markkanen is hardly touching the ball...

 

[cgf]

GSW is still more likely to sweep the postseason than actually lose to anyone

 

[Del Preston]

Raptors!

yeah i'm sure there's more to the KD/green stuff than we know

04 lakers were a mess with the kobe/shaq stuff as well as kobe's trial but somehow they managed to keep it together on the court. malone's injury is what derailed their season

 

[The Night King]

Grade 3 sprain = ligament completely torn

Dude just came back and now he may be out an extended period again.

Kevin Durant Talks Free Agency Plans, Says He Wants To "Stack Money"

So he won't be a Warrior next season.

 

[Hadoop]

If I had to put a wager right now on whether the Warriors win the title again this season I would put money on them to fail, and fail spectacularly (the key is right now though).
