Warriors, once again, gave no respect to the Lakers. Warriors deserved to lose. Only Durant and Green showed up. The rest of the guys played like trash. Go ahead and bash the Warriors because they deserve it when they lose to a bunch of kids.
But Rockets had the lead for most of the game, then went back to ISO in 4th and got outplayed. Whereas Warriors got beat from start to finish. Rockets were playing with hard and still lost is what most people were pissed about(not lack of effort or urgency). Sorry nice try.
The Lakers are an interesting team since I have no idea where to rank them. So I will need to see more to actually know how good they are since they have defeated three playoff teams.
Warriors could survive poor shooting last season due to their defense . Granted , curry hasn't shot that bad in two seasons , but still their defense has been poor this year so far . The Warriors should be great again . Most analysts projected an adjustment period for integrating durant . Regardless of how you feel about green and Thompson , the Warriors have two top 5 offensive players in the NBA . Overall green and Thompson are likely still top 30-40 NBA players . Having 4 of those guys on the floor at one time is unfair once the chemistry gets solved (if it does) furthermore the real boon is gonna be having durant or curry on the floor at all times plus one of the other top guys.
