    I thought we'd be much improved this year, I think I said 5th in the west, but I never thought we'd have the best record in the west for any period of time. The funny thing is that Dame isn't even playing as well as he could be. I think his shooting will improve, and when it does our team will be extremely difficult to defend.

    Now that Hilton Armstrong has been called up by the W's, Jermaine O'Neal considering season ending wrist surgery.

    The Warriors are so easily my favorite team outside of the Blazers. And Curry is my favorite non Blazer.

    Steve Blake expected to be out a minimum of 6 weeks, has a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow, per Lakers PR

    That sucks for Steve. Maybe the Lakers will make a move for a point guard after all.

    FTFY.

    Get ready for an epically lopsided trade.

    Pau Gasol for CP3?

    Steve Blake led to more success for that team than Kobe will.

    I’m starting to think the Lakers intentionally gave Kobe that contract because they know he can no longer carry a team. They saw the upcoming free agents and realized there is no chance of creating a super team with cap space in the next few years. So they decided to take a sneaky way of tanking. On the surface they will claim to be trying to win, Kobe will be allowed to shoot as much as he wants to beat Kareems scoring record, the team will make a ton of cash from scoring record promotions, and the GM will acquire draft picks to aim for contending 2 or 3 years after Kobe retires.

    He did kill the Chris Paul trade.

    It's a good smoke and mirrors.

    Can't make them all look that suspicious. Doesn't fool me one bit.

    I like their fan base more than anything else. Warriors fans are passionate.

    A fringe playoff team because of the first 20 games of the season?

    Iggy and Curry are two of my favorite players to watch; I just love their skill sets. Along with us they have the best shooters in the NBA. They gave the Spurs a good challenge last year. Not sure why you’re such a hater. Warriors fans are a passionate fan base that’s had terrible management for decades until the last couple of years. Remember the passion those fans had when they won that series against the Mavs? I’ve never seen a crowd more happy with a conference semifinals appearance.
