Our Warriors

He looks really good though. He’s a keeper in my opinion.

This was 3 or so years ago when Nola was developing but your making it seem like Curry is will be as good as CP3 which he won’t. He will be good just not nearly that good, and West by then was much much mature as a player than AR or Wright. And they built there team through free agency while were building with young talent. A core of Curry, AR, Ellis, Turner/Whiteside/Cousins is great. If you give that core at least a year to develop and we have a very good squad. You didn’t see OKC panic last year after sucking and start yelling for Westbrook or KD’s head. You didn’t see them start saying we must trade KD cause his scoring does not translate into wins. Now look at them, you give them one extra piece (Harden) and time to gel and they are now a great team. Were in a more similar situation to OKC than Nola

Seriously overrating Curry here. When CP3 1st joined the Hornets, he helped a team that won 18 games the season before, win 38 in his rookie season. even as rookies, most advanced statistics have CP3 dwarfing Curry.

David West didn’t improve as much as people think. He was injured in yr 2 (played in only 30 games), but his rookie output (where he put up 2.8 WS in 930 minutes & had an oRtg of 110 vs a 100 dRtg) shows the general TS% improvement that most players show in their 1st 3 seasons along with the increase in usage that generally results from a young player who takes a back seat to a vet.

Rarely in the history of the NBA does anyone develop the way Nash has. Counting on that from 3 players just b/c they happen to be Warriors is only going to lead to disappointment.

You need to look at past years, if anything he’s tried to adjust to a new one he is not fit for. You sound like this is the first time you have ever seen him play. He knew his role when the coach didn’t use him as a point guard, he doesn’t think he’s a PG and you can tell cause of his style of play. And him and Curry together have been great this year and our line bright spot, yet people forge this after he misses a few games I guess

Your telling me guys miss shots cause there out partying all the time and fatigue? If anything were the ones suffering from the most fatigue from a team standpoint. 112.7 vs 110 is actually not a huge difference, thats just one 2 point shot. Curry has played 3/4 a season as a pro so that rebounding number is irrelevant until we see him for at least 2 more seasons. And any guards rebounding numbers here are inflated since we play so small they just run down rebounds rather than actually being good rebounder, put either Monta or Curry on a good rebounding team and NEITHER are good rebounders. And are you seriously making the argument he’s not a good off ball player? Kmart is basically another Maggette, he’s just not as big but shoots better from the perimeter. When he was off the ball he was 53% from the field and had a great TS .580. Brabosa and Gordon are not nearly as dangerous as Monta as one is just a catch and shoot guy and the other benefits from playing with Nash

I think he can play second fiddle, I don’t know where people are getting his ego will get in the way. The guy doesn’t have an ego at all, he’s one of the more quiet guys in the NBA. The Monta/ Curry back court looks bad when you play a quarter of the season with out a center, basically the whole year with out a power forward, and without your starting small forward (Buike).

It don’t look good for the Monta/Curry back court right now, but it can’t be called a complete bust just yet…It really depends on Monta, can he play second fiddle to Curry?

Of course he can. Problem is that’s a defensive liability with 2 guards who aren’t helping much on the glass, have trouble holding up until help comes if they have to rotate to 4’s & 5’s in the paint, regularly need help defending the post against bigger guards, regularly get caught by picks, are questionable perimeter defenders.

What coach turns young players into good individual defenders? They’re usually good from the get go (recent examples Rajon Rondo, Jrue Holiday, Luc Mbah a Moute, etc). Has there ever been a coach who turned a bad defender into a good one?

Ray Allen for instance is just as not good as he always was, he’s just surrounded by 3 great ones in Rondo, KG, Perkins and a very versatile defender in Pierce.

To start with the Team is too lightweight to play in the nba,=not enough size to control the boards

Still not as important as having a star player. Even one of Baron’s ‘06-’08 caliber could carry an offensively efficient team to 40+ wins. The Suns were never great at this either, but they were winning 50+ year in & year out.

He started off conservative when dumping JC, than hesitated on the Amare trade which could have happened but then hesitated (although it was a good move), than says he wants to sign beef and after Gooden said he wants to come here he signs Mikki Moore, George for Marco was strange with no real purpose, seemingly shops AR for a while than retracts that, during the Jack fiasco we were reportedly offered Dalembert but we said no only to get Bell and Vlad (WTH) , says Monta is untouchable than all of a sudden is in the middle of trade talks, and any good GM would have fired Nellie by now.

He flip flops a lot

What star player was available?

No, I mean this upcoming offseason. When asked about his plans for the coming summer, he said he’d like to pick up a veteran rotation player along with their #1 pick.

If that’s true, that’s not really smart. He should forego all veterans until he finds a superstar. Then he can pick up support players like a veteran rotation player who complements his superstar’s game.

Riley hasn’t been great but he has purged us of two of our terrible contracts.
He has also said incredibly incompetent things about Nelson and Monta’s performance…things that are obviously not true. To then turn down the Mayo and Thabeet deal for Ellis, was terribly done. To waive Speedy’s contract a week before the trade deadline was a joke in itself.
Riley has been an average at best GM, and based off the recent history, i think he will foolishly build around Monta while adding another player who will take away PT from Wright and Randolph. I also get the feeling he will not take advantage of Vlad’s expiring next season, based on how he handled Speedy. Now that we know he is Nelson’s right hand man, should we expect Biedrins to be traded at an all time low value? Yes. Nelson is destroying this team.

I don’t get why you like to watch gimmick ball madness that only works with a special group of players. This gimmick ball wouldn’t work with many rosters.
Imagine if Phil Jackson played Ron Artest at power forward and Odom at Center for the majority of the minutes because Gasol and Bynum couldnt shoot the 3?
Defending Nellie because you like to watch high scoring games over winning is exactly what the Warriors FO wants. If they can pack the arena with people like you, they won’t have to sell, or change their agenda.
Nellie has been a terrible coach the past 3 years, and to not acknowledge that having Baron Davis running the show is the only reason his madness worked, is in effect ignorance.

  Me neither but I need to check their game schedules so I can see what our future will look like.
 I missed the sat morning UK game cause I never think of watching basketball in the morning :>)

and think of him as an important piece to resign, which is very very unlikely.

I don’t think Monta is worth building around. The last time Monta was a nice player was when he was used to build around Baron Davis.

I hate when I make a wise-ass comment but I word it so poorly that there’s only a 30% chance it get’s understood. There goes my True Posting % .

during their respective primes.
You don’t think KG could have won a more rings if he played on a team with David Robinson, Manu Ginobili, and/or Tony Parker at various times? KG in Minnesota never had a very good team mate, which Duncan always has had. I’d still probably take Tim Duncan, but surrounding talent is really important for winning championships. Would you also take Pau Gasol over Charles Barkley?

Now if they offered there 1st rounder that’d be different
