    Oubre is good in the right system. Love his energy and athleticism, but the warriors are asking him to do too much (just like wiseman). Kerr trying to make oubre wiseman play like iggy and bogut.

    Can't believe warriors winning tho.

    this would be a big win for the warriors and a big game for the confidence of oubre and the young guys.

    Curry is so damn good. Warriors will make the playoffs this year for sure.

    Hes probably one of the best defensive player ever.

    But I think his offense is overrated... He's basically passing out of 4 on 3 situations and in to curry/klay (and Durant) both coming off screens. He's good at it but terrible or below average everywhere else on offense.

    That said his passion and ability to defend all 5 position at elite level is something else. Still not a fan of his personality tho.

    Jerry West! Or maybe not... But warriors had some great picks those years. Curry, klay, barnes and green all out of the top 5.

    I have no clue why people think the Lakers are miles ahead of every other team. They're simply not. Yeah, they're probably the best team in the league, but they're no Warriors from 3 years ago.

    Lebron is 36 and simply can't repeat what he did last year. AD is probably their most consistent player, and even he relies on a good supporting cast.

    This win proves that Curry has a decent supporting cast that can probably make the playoffs. Can Curry carry a franchise on his back as Harden can? No. Not even close. But he's still a very good player who can turn it on when he's in form.

    Good point.

    One advantage draymond has over Westbrook is, he's just looking to pass pass or pass... Westbrook is looking to score 1st 2nd and 3rd.

    Shaq: I'm not going to sit here and let yall act like James is much better than Kyrie...

    LOL, Shaq...they don't even need Kyrie to win the ring. If anything Kyrie is going to gum things up.

    it's not rocket science.

    harden is simply a better passer than kyrie.

    harden/jordan PNR spaced with kyrie, joe harris, and kd is a nightmare.

    kyrie just has to play like how he did with lebron.

    If that’s the Kyrie that shows up it’s over for the NBA. Lakers included.

    They could trade Kyrie and get a good defensive big in. They can also bring in another defensive spot-up shooter. If they did that, the Nets would be unstoppable.

    I mean, Kyrie, Harden and KD sounds nice on paper, but it could be a nightmare on the defensive end.... especially with Jordan as their main big.
