    Theres a difference in playing team ball with quality players and whatever Silas is playing with barely NBA players. Denver is beautiful to watch and effective on the court

    Last time i checked it iritates hof level players and coaches too. Kerr isnt a fan and its no coincidence he shat on everything rockets threw against his gsw time and time again. With and without KD

    Not between our best and worst record. It was a bit slower of a bleed than that. The Rockets were pretty much done by the time Tilman made us get Westbrook's broke ass, we just didn't know it yet.

    Plus, the circumstances under which they left was, of course, very different.

    Doesn't change the fact that pretty much our entire team including coach and GM left all at once. There's almost nobody left from last season.

    Well ... This is actually the second year in a row for that to happen. Warriors had worst record last year, 3rd season after 67 wins.

    5-43

    That's honestly one of the most impressive stretches I do believe I've ever seen. Requires pure dedication, and a team all pulling the same direction.

    I've been watching NBA basketball for 50 years and I couldn't disagree more.

    Some of you saw a selfish ballhog "dribble dribble dribble stepback three." The rest of us saw a surgeon, methodically breaking down on a nightly basis the best defenses in the world's best league. We saw someone whose sheer gravity left teammates wide open on offense. There have been only a handful of players capable of dissecting a defensive scheme like Harden and finding a way to exploit it nearly every single time.

    If you can't see that, it's not on Harden; it's on you.

    someone already mentioned the bulls, but the warriors just went from best (2017) to worst (2020) in 3 seasons as well. wonder what kind of odds you could have gotten at the end of the rockets/warriors series in 2019 that the next 2 worst records would come from those teams.

    But we also saw, time and time again, the downside of relying so heavily on that on nights where it wasn't working, with no real plan B. Not Harden's fault per se, I love the guy. But I do think that is the reason we never got past GSW. Well, that and some incredibly suspect one-sided officiating and some of the very worst calls i've ever seen in my 30 years of watching NBA basketball

    I am well aware of his talent but he certainly has flaws that caused him to struggle in the playoffs. Your rhetoric is not going to change my opinion, sorry.

    Didn't Lebron's Cavs go from 60 wins to first pick when he left?

    Yes and we have a bit better than a coin flip to keep one of the top 4 picks... It’s gonna be super stressful to watch the NBA lottery results, OKC is lurching around hopping to snatch that #5 pick.
