Golden State Warriors thread - All Star 5

[mitchzz]

Trying to compare him to 2016 Steph is unfair. 2016 Steph put together the GOAT offensive season.

This is true

 

[fidstar]

I see we are now Top 5 in Defense.

Not bad after the start to the season.

Way to shut me up today, Steph

I don't know what to make of that game.

And again....

This thread was initially about David Lee, so congrats on the career. He helped turn Golden State back into a relevant team.

 

[fidstar]

...I can't see any reason he wouldn't project to hit at least 17,000 or so career points and over 10,000 rebounds. There aren't many scrubs that finish with those sort of numbers.

May have been off by a bit...

Klay's doing it again...he's having a sneaky good year. Kind of always feels like he's working through a funk, but he just does things with such a minimum of fuss.

He's been great. Shooting 46.3% for 3s, along with a career high from 2s. Should be an All Star again.

I wish he could get himself to the line more. Less than 1 free throw per game for a 20ppg scorer is really low.

I love Klay

sucks it happened when the game was basically over

6 road game win streak, that's a club record. Not many teams in NBA history have done it either.

Thought we actually played pretty average against Pistons yesterday, but ground out a win. KD has lifted in Steph's absence, and the team D has gone up a notch.

 

[fidstar]

Yeah. It's a lot more methodical without Steph. Also KD is always a good bail out. Two good wins without Steph considering it was the end of a road trip. But you could see they were pretty focused to win without him.

 

[fidstar]

Pretty handy having such a light schedule when we are dealing with so many injuries.

 

[fidstar]

To have only lost once without Steph is amazing, but our offense just isn't the same.

We're now the top ranked defensive team though!

 

[Beutbrute]

So nice to have Curry back in the team. Changes the offensive dynamic for the better!

 

[fidstar]

Hopefully we can bounce back like we did last year after losing 3 of 4.

Just biding their time until finals.

This ... all about doing enough to get number 1 seed

I know we've had a stupid amount of success with our starting 5, but I can see Kerr shaking it up if we get off to slow starts after the All Star break. Maybe McGee or Bell (assuming he's healthy). At least one of those two will add some energy.

We have missed Bell a ton. I see him as like a knockoff Draymond Green - can do a bit of everything and is an amazing defender

I should be an NBA coach

Thompson is struggling offensively here, but god damn his defending is brilliant when he locks in.

Been saying it for a while but Javale needs to start on a permanent basis. The most important thing for anyone not named Steph, KD or Klay is energy and he has bucket loads of it.

 

[fidstar]

Good to see Bell back out there.
