Whenever the Warriors have a bad game.

Every team on that list can't beat the warriors twice in a row. But I'M sure one of them will squeak a victory out over the dubs.

and they may very well go further

>>63784881
only realistic loss would be first bucks game, the end of the east coast road trip during a back to back. bucks can play and will probably start winning again by mid december

Jazz or raptors or second jazz

>>63784907
That's a warrior home game bro. Not happening.

None of those dumpster fires.

Cavs or Spurs.

@suns or @jazz could be a loss. after that, @boston or @milwaukee

@ Nets on 12/6

They got refballed out of beating them last time around.
>>
>>63784881
Kings Raptors or Pacers.
>>
>>63784930
You realize if they win all the way to Christmas...they'll be pretty close to the record for longest win streak ever.

Blowing the faggots Lakers at back when the league was garbage.
>>
>>63784936
celtics are an interesting matchup. teams usually fuck themselves over by having to double curry and screwing up their rotations so that the warriors can find open guys, but the c's got guys like bradley and smart that can guard him straight up.
idk if the celtics or jazz can score on the warriors' defense tho
>>
>>63784881
Charlotte is elite at home, struggled early but have come around.
Raptors played the warriors close at the Oracle and frustrated the hell out of the Clippers.

If warriors get past those two teams I dont see them losing till Christmas when they play the Cavs.

Literally suns. Every team has elite players. From a statistical standpoint warriors are due soon.
>>
>>63784913
>m-muh realistic loss
they almost lost to the nets, the 72-10 bulls loss to the expansion team raptors, they can lose any game and will likely lose a couple this year against shitty teams.

just because of your shitposting im predicting they lose to the suns, nets, or raptors.
>>
>>63784966
If the Cavs or Spurs don't stand in their way. They'll do it.

None of these shit teams stand a chance.

Hell they might even steamroll the Cavs if LeBron doesn't take over.

jesus christ, have the Warriors played any competition yet? the best team they'll play by January is the fucking Bulls
>>
>>63784881

at suns, they gave them their first loss last season and always play them tough and can maybe even out-chuck them

or

at miluakee, back end of a back to back at the end of a long east coast trip

>>63784978
they're better than the 72-10 bulls right now

The warriors do have a tendency to play down to their opponents.

A good team stepping into the building males the warriors perk up...if they're going to lose...its going to be to a quality team on the road. Most likely somewhere during their long road trip.

Warriors will beat the cavs on Xmas.

>>63785137
because they would have lost him for nothing plus muh buddies with blake. i would've let him go tho and just signed robin lopez. has 80% of the rim protection, smarter defender (dj's a retard against smart post players), blake can pick up for lost rebounds, more flexible cap room, really the only thing they'd lose would be blake-to-DJ lobs, but whatever

>comparing pre and post zone teams
it's practically a different sport. without the ability to off-ball double and flash in driving lanes the warrior's defense wouldn't be nearly as different. do you think people would people call curry a decent defender if he had to guard one-on-one all the time?
same way, the bulls' jordan isos and postups would be crippled by zones
>muh handchecking

>>63785181
AI isn't a GOAT

>>
>>63785148
>the defense is better
>jordan averaged 30/8/8 when handchecking was still legal

Meanwhile Curry doesn't even have to tire himself out and still puts up legendary stats. He's just better. More refined. Evolved. The GOAT.

>>63785150
i don't think DJ's mechanics are that bad at all. They said Dwight shoots 80% in practice, so DJ probably shoots like 60-70%. It's just his mental toughness. I think in practice, most players shoot mid 80s to mid 90s, but in games that lowers. Some people have better mechanics so they can compensate for small mistakes from pressure, such as stephen curry, or some probably hit about as well or slightly below in practice because they are mentally tough at the FT line (Derozan).

DJ though, he probably hits just around 70-80%, but he's so mentally weak that he just can't convert in the games.

What happened is probably DJ used to genuinely shoot at a 40-50% clip in practice, but he was so used to shooting badly that when he improved his mechanics he shot about the same because of the pressure (I would say a similar thing happened to LeBron, but to a lesser degree, since his FT% never went up the last few years despite improving his mechanics, although they did improve from the first few years after practice).

You see all these sweaty big men like Shaq, DJ, Dwight, etc, who were shooting shitty all their life because of their size, and then when they are taught to shoot despite their size, they just crumble under the pressure. Never seen a sweatier looking man at the FT line than Shaq...until now. DJ looks worse and worse every game.

"Good game guys", Erik Spoelstra shouted to his Heat after their big win. "Get ready for Game 3, San Antonio will be more prepared." As the coach exited the room, LeBron James spoke softly "Oh, we'll get ready, like we always do, ain't that right D-Wade?" Wade can't help but smile. "Damn right." Nothing gets him harder than postgame prep following a big win. Positioning himself next to LeBron's locker and presenting his asshole, opened wide with his strong hands, Wade seductively whispers, "Here you go, King, you can have THIS ring.

The way I see it the NBA has four distinct eras and to compare between them is silly. There's the pre-shot clock era, the shot clock era, the three point era, and the zone defense/no handcheck era.

Milan is the GOAT of the pre-clock era. Wilt and Russell are the GOATs of the post-clock/pre-3 era. Jordan, Magic, and Bird are the GOATs of the 3 era. LeBron, Shaq, Duncan, and (if he keeps it up) Curry are the GOATs of this era. More rule changes will lead to a new era. 4 point line? Outlawing hack-a-Shaq leads to a big man revolution? Who knows.
>>
>>63785572
Also you're a faggot for twisting up the comment
>>
>>63785758
Hack-a-Shaq isn't changing ever and it shouldn't. 4 points from behind halfcourt could be a possible thing.
>>
>>63785758
Once 3 point spamming reaches its logical conclusion and teams take mores 3s than 2s, they'll change up the point system and make 3s worth 4 points and 2s worth 3 points.

>>63785758
DeAndre and Duhwite will still be trash even if they don't have to hit 10 free throws at the end of games.
>>
>>63785795
no, this is so stupid. 5-10 years tops the good college players are going to be shooting almost as well from long range as they do from 18 feet now. Add a 4 point line and people are going to learn that. Imagine meme curry jacking up 4 pointers all fucking game. 3 pointer has now ruined the game, i have no idea why they added it to begin with but its gotten really bad now. its basically pointless to do anything but dunk the ball, get a wide open layup or shoot a 3. midrange is dying so fast
>>
NBA needs to get rid of the corner three/side three at this point. It shouldn't be worth 3 points considering how short and easy a shot it is. you have guys who's entire career revolves around hitting that stupid corner three, and it sucks because they never get to develop a full game because of it.

If the NBA was willing to implement so many rules in order to balance low post play (they actually over did it) then I think it wont be long before we see rule changes regarding the three point line. It's so cheap and allows for lazy defense. "no worries guys we'll just chuck three pointers and get back in the game!"
>>
>>63785905
agreed. the arc is 23'9" and the corners are 22'? Difference is huge. I don't think there should be a 3 point line there, the arc should keep going until it hits the sidelines/theres no space for someone to shoot if it goes any further. The spacing the corner 3 gives players is ridiculous and lots of teams like the cloppers and to an extent the memeiors just drive, pass to the corner, 3 pointer.
>>
>>63785878
As it fucking should. It's a jumper. A poor man's layup because you couldn't actually get to the basket. Should the 3 be moved back? Maybe. Curry would start hitting those too. But then the spacing on the floor changes and now they have to defend even further out...making bigs even more vulnerable.
>>
>>63785905
All rule changes have been to boost the 3 point line. 3 pointers are about score inflation which is perceived by casuals to be more exciting.

And 3 pointers makes it incredibly difficult to actually play defense. Shooters are so protected, you really can't do anything to stop them except to be Greek Freak tier in length and quickness- and that can be nullified with screens. Thibs was the only coach to almost kind of figure out perimeter defense and it still relied on having extremely athletic wing defenders like jimmy buckets and deng.
>>
>>63785927
so all of basketball should just be 3 pointers and layups?

mid range is a pretty historically important thing in basketball. it's gonna look pretty shitty if all anyone does is shoot 3s and dunk the ball, what a boring fucking game.
>>
>w-w-w-we have to change the rules because Stephen Curry is OP!!!

You people are fucking retarded. There are only 2 people in the league that are extremely well at shooting 3s. Curry and Korver. Everyone else shoots normal percentages as it always has been.
>>
>>63785947
all of the kids growing up nowadays want to play like curry. the next generation are going to be much better at shooting 3s.

NBA needs to get rid of dunks at this point. It shouldn't be worth 2 points considering how short and easy a shot it is. you have guys who's entire career revolves around hitting a stupid dunk, and it sucks because they never get to develop a full game because of it.
>>
>>63785956
Sure bro. I doubt anyone in history will shoot 60% from the 3 point line consistently
>>
>>63785947

they changed post play because of Wilt and Shaq.

Curry is just the extreme example. The point is the entire meta of the NBA is shifting to the point where you NEED to have 3 point shooters in order to succeed. Coaches are essentially abusing the 3 point now, even popovich has gone on record and talked about how "cheap" he feels for using threes.

Honestly I hate when the game devolves to team going back and forth chucking up threes.

Imagine how much better a player like Josh Smith would be if the three point line was removed?
>>
>>63785966
if everyone consistently hits 40-50% contested then that will destroy mid ranged jumpers.

the three game stretch between the raptors, nets, or pacers

raptor loss only happens if- team just decides to let off the gas

nets loss only happens if- .....for some reason the nets are always tough against the dubs. jarret jack becomes a try hard whenever he faces his former squad, i actually kinda miss that dude....he was a good warrior

pacer loss only happens if- the warriors manage to beat both raptors and nets, and like i stated above, if they just let off the gas for an extended period of time

if they remain undefeated through this stretch of games though...i might spontaneously bust a nut right in my pants

Did you just wake up from 2011 or is that all they show in Korea, reruns of old games?

He has a pretty complete offensive game these days. He takes less shots from 0-3 ft of the basket than he does from 16-20.

I mean at least with Lin he was putting up numbers that literally hadn't been done since Jordan. Porzingis is barely shooting over 40% FG and 34% from three.

He's averaging 18/10 with 2.5 blocks on 59% true shooting (46/56/86), along with excellent defense (not just by rookie standards), while barely playing 30 minutes, in his last 5 games. Porzingis has improved in some meaningful way every single game since the season started.
