Golden State Warriors Thread


Montsta

Recommended Posts

Sorry, there is no general NBA forum so I guess this will have to work. Me and *freefua* were talking about it and we both agree that we are so glad the Dubs didn't throw in Klay Thompson to get Kevin Love. He masks so many of Curry's defensive inefficiencies and went off for 41 last night after signing a max contract extension.

I liked Mark Jackson a lot but it's looking like moving on was the right idea and going with Kerr looks brilliant so far.

Looking forward to seeing how this team (and this thread) moves along over the course of the season.

I really do see both sides of the Thompson for K-love argument. 

 

 

At the end of the day, Thompson is much better suited to play alongside Curry than he would be solo in Minnesota, whereas Wiggins fits on any team- so I think Minny actually got a better deal

 

 

Would the Warriors be better with Love? Offensively yes, defensively god no. 

 

 

They went with continuity and the chance Thompson develops into something special over score more points right now. Can't fault them for that

Considering this forum is dead I don't think it's going to kill anyone if me and Montsta have a W's thread.

@Rusty_SFChron: Steve Kerr said he will limit minutes of Ezeli, Livingston and Rush tonight. He'd like to limit more guys in the team's first back-to-back.

Yes! A possible Rush sighting tonight

Even in these couple of games so far you can see how much Klay's improved. He's taking the ball to the hoop more and he's gotten stronger.

Just need to trade for Greg Monroe and we're set!

I wonder if Detroit would go for a Lee/Monroe swap. Lee has one year remaining on his huge deal. Throw in Harrison if you have too. The Warriors have to dump either Lee or Iggy if they want to resign Draymond. Like the Panthers, we're already close to the cap for next season

41 points. Yea he sure is living up to it.

Charlotte fans are hyping their players but nitpicking others. Klay is a STUD. Worth every dime of that contract.

klay overrated. He's a shooter and a pretty good defender. He gets open from the defensive attention to curry/iggy/lee & also he flourishes due to have 4 good/great passers on the floor with him all at once in Curry Igoudala Bogut & Lee

No defense is worried about Iggy.

I'm guessing you don't watch alot of Warriors games? Klay's slowly becoming a beast in all areas of the game. I'm sure his 41 from last night is posted on youtube somewhere, go watch it.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
