    Same problem under Silas as under MDA.

    That's what drove people crazy, even though MDA had better players to go hot.

    2 Qs of good play.
    2 Qs of worse play and little Defense.

    the first piece they had was Steph Curry in 2009 and added Dray, Klay, and Barnes over the next 5 years.

    right now on our roster do you see a cornerstone type player? or are we yet to draft or aquire him?

    silas needs to get Nwaba out of the starting lineup asap.

    our cornerstone right now is 25 yo Christian, a homeless man’s AD, and that’s only on offense...on defense he doesn’t even come close

    we saw how AD did in New Orleans

    it’s time to rev up the tank

    the link to anyone predicting warriors winning the title or becoming a dynasty would have saved us a lot of empty back and forth talk

    why no one is able to produce such a link?
    this is a thing to ponder upon....its fascinating!

    imho its because we don't know how the system works... its because there is no system... its an everchanging river you cant even step in twice... its so flowing and everchanging you cant ever step once in the same river.... ;)


    but just for the fun heres some food for thought

    people are trying to put the logic and how things usually work on everything and look at it tru classical lenses
    however it doesnt work that way...there is a uniqueness to everything...

    potential of almost any talented player(half of nba) is infinite and is developed and unlocked based on circumstances teammates, coaching, fans support, fans hate, momentum and plain luck.

    nobody thought curry is a cornerstone to dynasty...NOBODY and draymond isnt appreciated even today

    whos to say that you even need a cornerstone? LOL why not just 12 mutually interchangeable good players?

    however what we have today in some way is close to what warriors had back then

    I am taking wood now over curry in 2013-14
    in the right system and surrounded with allstars wood is a positive on both sides of the floor

    Rockets look rough out there lol, it's going to be a long several seasons folks... at least watching Oladipo and Wood should be enjoyable in the short term.

    forgive me if i missed it but i didnt see the link to you predicting warriors becoming a champions and dynasty in 2014?

    btw there are several allstar type players on the rockets now

    Now if this org cant be a contender for the title with several allstars then what are the chances they will be able to even draft the right guys, let alone develop them into champions even if the minuscule chance of getting the high pick happens? LOL

    NO, this is a typical 'future nostalgia', grass is greener overthere case, perfectionism syndrome and there is better than here mentality...
    There was never better time to win the title, the field is as leveled as it has ever been and the roster is as good as it will ever be in a longtime and with all the assets to even improve upon it and polish it!
    THE TIME IS NOW

    it was even rougher start to 2018-19 season, yet we were a bit of luck and refs screwups removed from beating the dynasty

    u can keep holding on for dear life to the Warriors becoming a dynasty overnight...it’s not a convincing point

    Several All-star types on the roster now? Where? The time is now to make the 8th seed and get embarrassed in the 1st round.
