  1. So… The problem with GSW last year was chemistry bench and size. They addressed all of them. They removed jp3, which dealt with the green Poole incident, they acquired CP3 and Šarić who are bought very good offensively with Šarić being a shooting big, which would really help out against big teams like La and CP3 being an insane creator. They also got more size in the draft and Kuminga supposedly got a growth spurt and is now 7 foot, maybe even taller improving at crazy rates. Last year they had the best starting 5 in the league last year, which isn't gonna change, their non Curry minutes are now be filled up and most importantly they are HUNGRY

  2. Warriors next season have to improve defense. In 2022. they played lockdown defense, in 2023. Warriors defense collapsed.

  3. Hopefully we can win against teams that have bigs, I still think we couldve won 2022 finals if Lakers wasnt there.

  4. Man that lakers series was purely officiating driven. Nobody can win against double the calls. Especially phantom ones.

  5. Shaq is mental the GSW won’t even win the West! They’re too small, age is a key and gave away another future star (Poole) and kept a headache Green! I think the core is really tired of hearing Kerr’s voice….

  6. You left out that the Lakers won two because the refs we're on the Lakers. Also the warriors did attack the rim as much as the lakers, i think it was more by a small margin. They just couldn't get any calls

  7. Charles Charles Charles, you gave a great analogy, but your attention to detail was somewhat off. Starting with the Lakers. In the NBA, 1 year makes a huge difference when a player gets up in age, so in other words 1 year is like dog years in the NBA, and LeBron James has gotten incredibly slow as he will be a year older, which eliminates the Lakers from the conversation. At best they will be hovering around the play in game. The Phoenix Suns without Chris Paul totally eliminates them from any conversation, plus they lost Mikal Bridges, but you failed to mention that as he played a huge part in their success, they have zero depth at this point. The Milwaukee Bucks are still a good team, but the window for them has closed with this core group of players they have. In the NBA you only get 3 years to win a championship with a good group of core players, they won 1, but Kris Middleton has declined rapidly and JRue Holiday is nothing more than a complimentary role player that doesn't look to score anymore. The Miami Heat TBD. Boston Celtics TBD. The Philadelphia 76ers have poor complimentary players for Joel Embiid so they are nothing more than a 50 win team that will fizzle in the second round. As for the Denver Nuggets, your assessment on their matchup with Golden State was nothing more than an assumption(can't be proven at this point) that they would have beaten the Warriors. Simply because the Nuggets play a totally different style that's not predicated on inside play, which plays into the hands of the Warriors. Yes theyhave Jamal Murray, but as you know, he and Stephen Curry will cancel each other out, which leaves us with Klay Thompson whom the Nuggets have nobody to match up with him. And as for Nikola Jokic, how quickly we forget? Jokic was a huge liability on pick and roles going to the basket as he refused to challenge the Warriors 3 point prowess on the perimeter, leaving him in no mans land for most of the game as it did in the 2022 playoffs. Regular season games mean absolutely nothing and you know it. Plus you have to know, Shaquill Oneal played in the NBA, so you have to know he's seeing this from a former basketball players perspective, which is the same way I see it, only I didn't play in the NBA, only college.

  8. The question is what's the Narrative the Nba is going to control!! I'm sure the Nba wants Lecrybaby to win a 5th ring before Steph. So that's why Lakers have 2 months at playing at home. Steph will find a way to beat the Referees again!! I already quit watching Football and Baseball, sports are not like they use to be.

  9. But TJD will be the difference this season. He's way better than Domantas I could tell.

  10. They still gonna lose if they match the lakers in playoffa they gonna have a better roster this upcoming year too
