    Blazers will should win at least 50 games but the Warriors will finish well below 47 wins. I'd take the Warriors side of the bet.

    The Warriors are currently down 25 at the winless Thunder, in the first half. I hope the winning teams will do some shimmy shakes or whatever it is that Curry does.

    Warriors are ass. They are relying on waaaay too many fringe NBA talents to play serious minutes.

    Curry is no question a better shooter than Dame but I'm not thoroughly convinced he's a better player overall than Dame. Curry is finally seeing what's it like to have everyone zero in on him like they do to Dame and it's not going well. We saw this near the end of the last NBA Finals too.

    Wouldn't be surprised if they sit Curry and tank post-All Star break. There's no use trying for them this year.

    They probably should tank this year. No reason to risk injury to Steph. I don't see them even sniffing the playoffs. They have a serious lack of overall talent, AND, every team in the league is going to want to get revenge against them after years of dominance. Blood bath.

    It's funny how many people were predicting Curry as the favorite for MVP. I just don't see it--you can't be an MVP on a non-playoff team.

    If he goes out for 8 or 10 games this year with his normal injuries, those are automatic losses. That takes them from around a 48 win team (best case scenario) to around 40 wins.

    Look at this roster:
    *D'Angelo Russell
    Eric Paschall
    *Draymond Green
    Glenn Robinson
    Jordan Poole
    Jacob Evans
    Marquese Chriss
    Omari Spellman
    Damion Lee
    *Kevon Looney

    * Guys I knew for sure weren't on the Shanghai Sharks.

    We are gonna see exactly how good Kerr is?
    It's injuries like last night that could derail this Blazer season. Gut check time. Three bigs on the injured list is tough to deal with.
    I'm sticking with my Blazer prediction 47-48 hoping for 50. Now as far as the Warriors go? They still have Curry and Green. That alone gets them some wins.

    Both are good bets. GSW is the better one. They are not winning that many games.

    Right. Without all those good players he doesn't look very good. Just like Walton looked good when Kerr was injured, but he was a terrible coach with the Lakers and continues to be bad in Sacramento
