If Barnes goes, I can see GS making a hard push for Durant.
No way the Rockets get him given their issues.
Other than OKC, Washington, and GS, are there any other likely places for Durant? Would San Antonio have any shot?

Klay quietly had a good game. 25 points off 50% shooting and solid D on CP3
San Antonio have Kawhi and Aldridge, they're not getting Durant.
edit:
So am I. He balled his ass off at the start of the 4th, as well as the 2nd quarter. Turning down 16 mill/year extension man.
This would lessen the blow of losing Barnes. With that said though, I bet you if he signed with GS, he'd be injured off and on and they'd rarely play as a full unit. It'd be like the Lakers Payton/Malone season.
Ha, fair. I could see reports coming from 2k about struggling to balance the game because the AI Warriors would sweep everyone.
edit:
Klay was really good, looked like his old self.

but yeah, something more mindblowing than the fact that 21 teams are currently above .500: 4 teams have already combined for 42 losses, with a total winning percentage of 0.102
(and somehow the Lakers are pushing that up on account of not yet having played and lost their 12th game)

Hopefully in 2 months the Warriors will have cooled down enough when the Spurs finally play them. God damn.

So...why did Doc only play 8 players? Is that a norm for the Clips?

Dirk should have at least 30% ownership of the Mavs after what he has done for the organization
WesternHeretic

LOL no owner is that nuts even for Cuban that's insanity. Give him like .05% that's generous enough.

Friend how was Dallas before he got there and since he joined. He deserves alot..
It is in the playoffs. It's insane for the regular season.
WesternHeretic
Member
Still I don't care ain't giving him anything above half a percent LOL. Unless the team was literally bankrupt and he pulled money out of his own accounts to keep it going then he ain't getting equity.
He can get a lifetime supply of Mavs gear, tickets, and a statue.

Didn't Magic get more than that with the Lakers?
50% share of the franchise, GM + coaching job, and LA sports media covering everything he says and do

Did he actually say that? I mean, after your team have a meltdown and give away a 3-1 lead to the Rockets, I don't think you can really claim that.
Starphoenix
Member
Yes, he did. To which one of the players responded, I think it was Curry, that you don't hear the Spurs saying this, or OKC. Only the Clippers.
Last thing the Spurs need is a pissed off GS for something Doc said. It'll be hard enough as it is, especially if Draymond still feels slighted because Kawhi got DPOY last season.
PadWarrior

Yeah Doc said that. I believe Klay Thompson responded by saying they wanted the Clippers but they couldn't get the job done against the Rockets and that they beat the Clippers 3-1.

Wait, they won?
Of course.
I went to bed early and figured Clips would close it out. Negative.

calling 75 wins

The Warriors are clearly on a completely different level than anyone else in the league right now, but I think Kerr reins them in a bit rather than chasing a record (one that he already was a part of, appropriately enough). Winningest season means nothing if you run your players ragged and fall apart in the playoffs. They'll probably have some nights where they rest starters against teams they could easily beat, but since those teams aren't making the playoffs they treat beating the eventual champs like a feather in their cap and play out of their minds. No big deal, but that happens a few times a season and the odds of winning 72+ evaporates pretty quick. So, while I agree that they absolutely could hit 75 if they chased it, I see them losing a few and focusing on being completely healthy and 100% for the playoffs.

75 wins in an 82 game season is insane. I'd take the under.

Report: Kings owner plans to make big offer to John Calipari
That will surely fix all of their problems. But realistically I can't imagine them offering him enough money to leave his cushy job for the black hole that is the Sacramento Kings.

Warriors need to watch everyone's min. After all this is not about the first 82 games, but the 15 wins needed post regular season.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Most of the wins they have had so far he's sat out a whole bunch of minutes though.
Plus I believe Steph's ankle issues haven't been a problem ever since he started wearing that protective gear stuff.
I'd be surprised if the coaching staff don't give them rest when needed, given their whole push on tracking biometric data.

The Warriors can easily beat half of the teams in the NBA without Curry. Just rest Curry in games against the 6ers, Nets, Knicks, Kings, etc.

He sits out the 4th quarter almost every game .lol

Outside of Curry and Green, no one is averaging more than 32 mpg. Curry and Green are playing 35 and 33 mpg respectively so that's not exactly a crazy amount either.

Excited for the Billy King bowl tonight
35 year old Jamal Crawford played more minutes than anyone on the Warriors last night...Curry sat for 8 1/2 minutes with foul trouble in the first.

I wonder in the off-season how many teams are going to be looking at Luke Walton for HC? Kind of seems like he's going to get that Bruce Arians-type boost from stepping in for Kerr.
Gully State
Member
My thought on this is that his ankle issues stemmed from the previous ownership group rushing him back shortly after surgery to play. He's been fine ever since Lacob and Co. took over and shut him down for the rest of the season (the year prior to the Barnes,Ezeli, Green draft) after Monta was traded for Bogut.
Seems like Lakers fans are all in on him.
Xplatformer

They already watch their minutes.
They give playing time to
Steph
Klay
Harrison
Draymond
Bogut
Ezeli
Livingston
Barbosa
Speights
Andre
Those are their regular rotation guys and they still find ways to give MacAdoo, Ian and Thompson minutes. Heck even Rush, who I think is bad, gets play time.
Calling it...my team loses it's first game tonight. Close loss.

16 wins. Only getting 15 wins is a gut punch.

He seems to be doing a fine job but he's also working with an all-time great lineup. I wonder how he'd do on another team.
Starphoenix

Believe it or not I thought about the Lakers being a team that would probably do that.

I'd love to see Mark Jackson coach the Lakers. From a development standpoint, I think he'd get a lot out of the young guys.

I wonder if the Lakers are 4-25, if They don't pull the plug on Byron, or if the plan really is to finish 10-72.
These are the things I wonder about.
Its fucked. National TV Kirk boutta roast Curry
