lmao, OKC is so not a contender.

They're a talented core who'll definitely be a contender very soon.

But as of this season they can challenge any team but they're woefully outmatched by the real contenders like Nuggets, Bucks, Celtics. And even the tier 2 contenders (like Lakers Heat maybe Warriors) will kill them in a 7 game series.

Garbage fans who shit talk the coach who took them from the depths to the literal NBA finals. I hope Suns never win a ring.

In the Warriors, all is well.

Delusional fans abuse and downvote anyone suggesting that our players are not good enough.

Just watch the video, Tim literally agrees with Harden

No point discussing nuance about these topics mate.

If you disagree with the crowd they'll just call you a p3do or ragist

Great BBIQ and positioning. He's gonna struggle on defense due to his size and lack of athleticism.

On offense he's gonna be a good bench piece for a long while thanks to his insane feel for the game. His passing is very good and has good decision making on the ball.

His rim finishing and floater game might be his x factor: If he can grow that he'll be legit, else he'll keep getting stuffed at the rim.

His 3pt shot still isn't lethal, so we need to wait for more games to evaluate.

Celtics have a great team defensively and offensively that allows all players to shine there.

Put Pritchard on a team like Warriors and he'll struggle on defense due to his size. Celtics just put large wings around him and that makes him look good.

Tldr; every player looks extra Amazing on the Celtics since they're a legit scary team.

100% on this.

If Warriors had Rudy instead of Dray, we'd be a contender this season.

Ime and the vets really helping the young blood shine.

Is a Playin push very possible now?

Josh Giddy. Tall playmaker but can't shoot and can't defend at a high level.

[–] draymond-@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland.

Talented guys but not even sniffing the real stars. Regular season merchants who become one way players in the playoffs

It's really not that simple tbh.

Keegan's drive game from the post still looks a little raw. If he's taking contested midrange jumpers from the post, Warriors will be very happy.

And if Warriors throw a double at him his playmaking isn't good enough for the play to still be a good one.

Same reason why Kerr doesn't post up Kuminga all that frequently

lmao it's hilarious how Kobe's performances (rightfully) get afforded all the context in the world. Other stars (like Lebron, Steph, KD) don't seem to get this.

Fans still claim KD choked against Boston two years ago when in reality he took on a much heavier playmaking load in response to all the double teams.
