Your laughing at that? I am laughing now, because I didn't say that!!! Again. Reading what you want, leaving other parts out. I said I think we might be one of a few teams that can give them match up issues. I didn't say we match up to them better than them. OR we are favored in that match up, I simply said that I think we have one of the few rosters that can give them issues. Meaning they wont just walk over us no matter who we put out on the court like they do most other teams. Sometimes I wonder whether you intentionally twist shit around....
@yuyuza1 Really? Thats how you read that? Man... so not even right. Favor us over ANY OTHER TEAM. NOT OVER GSW...
"actually favor us better than any other team can in the league" Where does this say I think we would be favored overGSW? @yuyuza1 Learn to read, then post....
That's all I get for you missunderstanding/missreading yet another post of mine? Your right.... whatever....
I want to see Curry, Thompson, Green and Durant in the same line up and see what they do before committing to a a strategy. I don't think there are enough shots in a game to keep that line up playing top flight ball. A solution might become obvious. or at least worth a try.
One thing there no big 4 in Golden state because with Durant that makes Green another role player. One thing Golden state will be missing is rim proctector so that make there defense not as good. Believe they will miss Bogut alot this year. Yes they got 3 great scorer in there lineup but just one basketball. Thompson already said he not going stop shooting just because Durant coming.
why in the world should he? He's an elite wing who's game is attacking and he'll continue to enjoy a huge size advantage on CJ. The W's are going to attack from the outside in, spreading the court with 4 very potent deep ball threats all with the green light & multiple ball handlers/playmakers. They do a great job of sharing the ball and finding the open man. Commit extra help to slowing the NBA scoring leader/greatest 3 point shooter ever and they'll dump it to point forward Draymond at the foul line to attack the rim with a numbers advantage. Lol at the concept of Turner on him as he'll easily muscle his way to the hoop. They are going to be a juggernaut offensively that will cause everyone fits period. As opposed to most teams, Portland has a prayer as they should have the firepower to keep up some nights if they've hitting on all cylinders, but defensively they'll be hoping the W's are just having an off night as they will get clean looks all night.

Yesterday I started to post something similar to what MarAzul said......that unless the "big three" all got their shots then they would be less effective, because they are all rhythm shooters. Especially KD who oftens starts out slow but got enough shots with OKC (Even with Westbrook) to always find his rhythm in the 4th. So without his normal amount of shots...... he will suffer. But then as I was writing it, I came to the realization that like Trackjack said......players like Green and Iggy will become even more of a role player. Which will help GS because it will allow them to concentrate even more on defensive and rebouding. So I ended up deleting my post. There is enough shots for Curry, Klay, and Durant IF everyone else's limits their shots. I think Durant knows he has slipped since his MVP year. He still is great but he can no longer carry a team. If he tries to be the man, the Warriors will suffer. But if he accepts being the 3rd option, or better yet if they all find a way to alternate being the man.....then they will be champions.
Side note: With Curry and Durant most likely all the shots, Klay's scoring will probably go way down, opening up an All Star spot for CJ. Dame will take Kobe's spot.
The key to beating the Warriors will be to make them defend you for almost a whole shot clock and get out in transition quick when they miss a shot. Tire them out. Make them chase you around and run without the ball more than you do.
