Hopefully Kanter goes East, Jokic wants no part of that boy in the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kawhi took that mans soul. He actually didn't. They defended Kawhi well everything considered. He's great so he did his damage but they held him better than Philly/Milwaukee did. You could have used Siakam as an better example since he scored a big bucket over him in game 6. But overall, Green was a better defender in the postseason than Gobert, and that has been the case for the last three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully we won’t have to see BackPack shooter in the postseason next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in the postseason this year Gobert led the NBA in defensive box plus-minus, offensive rebounding percentage, and block percentage. But yeah, Curry, Cook, Iggy, Draymond, and Looney isn't making the postseason buddy. Hopefully the tickets willl be cheap so I can catch a few games in that new arena but the Techies will probably still pay to see that weak squad.

If Curry and Dray stay healthy, then good bet they do make the playoffs. And they may re-sign Boogie as well. Shoot, wouldn't be surprised if this squad still beats the Jazz in the playoffs. Them boys have heart and were battling hard against the Raptors despite all the injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them boys have heart and were battling hard against the Raptors despite all the injuries. How are they going to resign Boogie? Assuming they max out Klay and KD opts in you guys will have no money? NBAPA isn't going to be happy with him taking no money for the 2nd straight season and he'll likely get quadruple what the Warriors can offer on the open market. So in that scenario it'll be Curry, Draymond and a bunch of veteran players on minimum contracts. There's going to be more pressure on Curry than he has ever had in his career to generate offense and he'll really have no help offensively. Sike, FVV out played Curry, Conley is going to put the clampers on that man. Edited June 20, 2019 by NYRaider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to do when you only play 5 games and get bounced real quick. Especially when those 5 games are against a team that plays small and shoots more threes than twos and all you are is a rim protector.

And it's very questionable that Durant will re-sign. Not that it is relevant here anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas, NYK, or LAC will probably end up offering him close to a max contract, he'd be taking a significant pay cut to play with a fringe playoff team. It made sense last year because the Warriors were seen as a guaranteed ring but to take a significant paycut again, it's not going to happen. He's going to resign and then be traded later or sign a short term deal to rehab because the Warriors training / medical staff screwed his career for 14 minutes.
