    We don't have LeBron, he is All NBA caliber, that's more of an issue, than the preseason focus. We have a good squad IMO, but we're aren't going to beat many good teams, at full strength, while we are missing our 2nd best player. It's a tough League, especially in the West.

    I don't think it's a coincidence. It obviously has an impact, these things don't turn on just in a click, it's a building up and by not having preseason we are a bit late. It happens in every sport

    On the other hand, you don't win the title in October or November. And our best bet is actually to peak later, so maybe it's their plan.

    I don't agree with it and if you recall the last title season we started firing and even had a rule of not losing 2 in a row. Especially when you are still building a culture, it's not like Denver that have a lot of continuity, for example. It's a pity but we are where we are and let's try to make the best of it

    Lakers started 3-0 last season and still didn't have preseason losing to GSW by like hundred points
    Exact score was 124-72

    So it's not that ,it's combination of things Butler isn't 16 FT regular season guy unlike Shai and GSW always starting season hot .
    For example last season they started 7-1 and were 6-0 in preseason

    Agreed, the Warriors are a good team and shot lights out. I don't like slow starts and hope to avoid them and the need to be fighting late just to stay out of the play in. Either way it will be a fun ride.
