    Many of us here have talked about his defense- you just won’t hear it from the blowhards in TV or on Podcasts who pretend that Steph is in any GOAT conversations.

    Like it except for CP3. I get it, I just can’t stand him. I like him less than PatBev.

    I hear you, but let's face it. It's going to happen. I feel like he is going to mentor Bronny as a favor to LeBron.

    This leaves our bench scoring a bit weak, so maybe Lebron could take a pay cut and we could sign some better bench scorers. Or, maybe Lebron is already taking a paycut for Capela, in which this case, we utilize Rui/Gabe to try and and get an upgrade at bench scorer and point-of-attack defender.

    or reverse causation: warriors built a team to cover for their star's defensive deficiencies (which are VERY REAL).

    That was a hilariously terrible few minutes from Russ there to end the half. Almost single-handedly cut their 10 point lead down to 3.

    OKC is going to win it all, nobody in the East is as good as they are. I don’t even really see the WCF being super competitive with as bad a shooting team as Minny is, I think they’d be facing GS if Curry had been healthy. I don’t like OKC, I don’t think they’ve earned it yet, but I guess it is a success story for building through the draft, and I’ll be happy for Caruso.

    Well, if they win it all, they've earned it. Good team, deep, very productive superstar, nice bigs, great defense, Bald Eagle plays for them... can't find much wrong with that squad.
