The Warriors with Russell better hope they can get a 6-8 seed. They are gonna be a SIEVE on defense and we're gonna destroy them. Understand this between your incessant whines.
I agree. The Warriors got someone to hold the fort until Klay comes back - and a trade asset after. The Warriors are far from done - they still have Steph, Klay and Draymond. They just need to retool around them. They will be fine.
That draft pick is worthless, i wouldn't want the 30th pick just so i can meet them in the finals (not that i think they have a shot at the finals). Anyway, i don't think Klay's injury was that bad. I've never seen a player running,shooting and jumping right after this kind of injury. They got Looney,Green and their moving screens back...still one of the best teams in the league and i wouldn't put money on the Blazers to beat them in a series.
I think Nurkic was a big problem for the Warriors last year, even when they had KD. I am not familiar enough with Whiteside to tell you if he will give them the same kind of problem Nurkic did.
I just read somewhere that Steve Kerr mentioned it that without a healthy Cousins this was the biggest issue the Warriors had against Portland - as they had no-one to neutralize his presence in the paint. This is about as good of a proof I can give you, I do not maintain a cache of references to everything I read throughout the year.
Who's the last player that the Warriors traded for any significant value? I agree that they've squeezed out good play from some random dudes, but other than KD, I don't think anyone who's left Golden State recently has been very sought after. I don't think Russell, at that contract level, is going to prove to be an exception.
Weird Science. She was hot back in the day and so was Vanessa Angel on the tv series. Both of them were smoking hot!
