Kings/Suns. :pimp:


First trip to Boogie Wonderland.


The young king Booker going for 30 minimum against that defense.


Nuggets/Pelicans will be dope because we got Jo/Nurkic vs AD, AD going to torch them. :lol:


Also you got Jamal Murray and Buddy two lottery picks playing against each other in their first game.

how bad was the reaction to that warriors loss last night?

would read through this post but knowing niketalk...
 
This is NT. Everything will be blown out of proportion :lol:

However, it did show that the Warriors will struggle with defense/rim protection and rebounding this year. Things people have said all summer. That doesn't mean they can't beat up teams all year long, though. I just think no rim protection/defense and lack of rebounding isn't a receipe for a championship. May the talent out weigh it tho

It'll make teams with a great defense and good bigs a problem for the Warriors. A lot of those teams are in the West.

its the first game of the season.
 
Hopped on S&T section and something smelled right away. Clicked on this thread to see what I missed and yup...trash confirmed.

It's the ol' "let's make concrete proclamations off small sample size" time of the year.

NBA thread officially byke.

I'm just glad hoops are on my TV again...**** all the other ****.

We got dudes creeping from the cesspools of General with flaming hot takes
 
its the first game of the season.

What does that have to do with anything? Is Pachulia going to magically become the rim protector Bogut was? That doesn't take away from the Warriors. They will still win a ton of games and more than likely AT LEAST make the Conference Finals barring injury.

My post had nothing to do with a hot take :lol: . People saying the Warriors will be unbeatable was more a hot take to me.

GSW will still win most of their games this year, but any notion of them being an unstoppable force is gone now.
 
what flaming hot takes are people complaining about?

most of the **** is just funny. and the rest of it is actually true. zaza is a junkyard dawg, not a defensive anchor. david west was trash last year, the reason he barely got any burn with the spurs. yeah kd > hb but ppl forget the amount of touches and iso jumpers he needs to take to get into his flow.

i just dont see the warriors making the finals.
 
I've seen this way too often. Super team gets together YEAR 1 and everyone expects them to have a painless trip to the Finals and win it all. It just doesn't always work like that. It will be a lot of early season growing pains for GSW, but they'll eventually get it together. I still don't believe in their rim protection and rebounding, though.

Not to mention their bench.

Their offense will be a thing of beauty once they get it together. Its just going to be a diferent dynamic for every other part of the game. I'm rooting against them, so I hope it doesn't work out.

hated the pau signing from the jump. watching him on the bulls the last couple years, hes a 20 minute guy off the bench. doesn't score out of the low post and barely has any foot speed.

iso joe gonna look like the steal of free agency

This. Your post will get thrown into hot take ville because its a criticism after they got blown out. This isn't a one game thing this is a great defensive teams with big front lines thing.
