    Warriors are for real this season. Both Curry and Thompson are going to take it up a level and they have a solid bench

    And a coach who knows what he's doing and doesn't just preach.

    Sorry, still mad about how Mark Jackson basically told them to tackle Bev so that we don't break the 3 point record

    11 minute quarters? Only if they don't replace the time with more commercials

    Adams is definitely the starter. With KD out, there is zero choice to be made. Even without that injury, it would still be Adams. 24/28 (plus 7/8 in FTs the last 2 games) ends the argument.

    Kobe is going to be comically inefficient this season. Nothing but turnaround jumpers.
