    well Curry came back after a bad shooting performance with an insane outing. Hoping Lillard can do the same

    He might have grown a large callous from carrying The Larry O'Brien trophy around Boston over the summer. But, nah. That lineup was weird. And they obviously got beat up.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Unfortunately, there's nothing particularly impressive about either team aside from Dončić and Dame.

    I think either team could finish ahead of or behind the other and it wouldn't be particularly surprising.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The Warriors are definitely off to a good start. I did think that they'd be a factor this year, I really liked their additions of Otto Porter and Nemanja Bjelica...perfect fits to how they play. If they could have lured Nic Batum away from the Clippers, it would have been a clean sweep of ideal role-players. Add Jordan Poole looking like a baby Bradley Beal and the Warriors look tough.

    If Klay is even 75-80% of what he was before the injuries, the Warriors could be contenders.

    Warriors are a legitimate threat this year

    Hmm. They JUST won at home over the Clippers, who were without Batum (and, of course, Kawhi).

    If you watched the game, Giannis played center. It was weird they listed him as a Center. They did on TV as well.

    Many teams deal with players out...we're no exception...we played two seasons without our starting 4 an 5 ..Zach and Nurk....still found a way to beat top teams along the way...you are the team that can suit up in the league...injuries are part of why you have 15 roster spots

    except another team thought Carlisle was worth employing as a head coach and not Stotts for some odd reason

    no echoes here
