You still need to make the ball go into the basket.

Besides, something still tells me you can knock out this Warriors team if you play them physically. Very interesting to see what the Clippers do tonight. Everyone knows this is a regular season game, but each team wants to have a "mental edge" over the other.

And who are the most physical teams in the West

My stance doesn't chance -- you will need an elite defense to beat the Warriors in a playoff series and at least 2 guys capable of playing at a high level.

Cavs showed that

OKC showed it

Grizz showed it to an extent, but they were hurt

All of these teams were elite defensively when they played the Warriors in the playoffs. Two of Three came up short -- one team had their 2nd best player hurt and other blew a 3-1 lead surprisingly.

IF Utah gets the shot, they'll probably end up giving GSW a lot of trouble as well, along with the Clippers. Just not sure if I put "physical" and Clippers in the same category.

The clippers played the warriors tough at least two times last year from what i recall

Both teams are pretty different this year obviously

Your fandom is a serious hindrance man :lol

Please tell me you really don't think the Memphis Grizzless have a shot at taking down the Warriors. Please don't.
 
Wizards better start and jump on an overpay for Wall by the Nuggets or Celtics.

Can't remember the exact proposal on the ringer, but it was something like Wall for Mudiay/Jokic (or Nurkic...can't remember which one)/multiple first round picks.

I'd jump on that in a heartbeat and start the rebuild.

New GM has to oversee it...last thing I want is EG making desperation moves to try to save his job. He's done enough.

Stance, the NBA’s official on-court sock provider, expanded into the underwear market in 2015. And now, with holiday season approaching, the brand is launching “casual NBA underwear.”

Stance’s line of NBA boxer brief underwear is now available at Stance.com, the NBA Store, Lids and select retailers worldwide.
If I'm gonna pay $30+ to have my balls cradled it better be in a massage parlor.

With that being said yeah this is still pretty cool

maybe if you take off your stock market goggles and watch them enough, you'll form an opinion outside of the norm casual fan :lol going off your opinion of the team, we would be in the bottom 3rd of the west right now.

i'm not saying the grizz are going to knock off the warriors in the playoffs. i'm sure most will say no one in the west will knock them out in a series. that's common knowledge for someone who watches basketball enough.

i do think they have a better shot than over half of the other playoff teams, though. they are one of the teams along with clippers, spurs and utah with elite defenses and physical enough squads to do so.

They should absolutely move him this year. They suck now don't have any resources to get better before he becomes a UFA 2 years after this season so he's probably not re-signing. This is perfect time to move him. Wait until middle of next season or 2 years from now & GMs are gonna think they're only getting a rental & their offers will reflect that.

I'd rather have Jamal Murray as a PG piece than Mudiay.....but Denver does have the pieces to make this trade 
Man.....OKC is in great shape, after reading that article.

A look inside the Verizon Center during the visiting team introductions:

David Aldridge was saying they always announce 12,500 for the attendance at games, if it is less than that. Since that is the amount of season ticket holders they have, by NBA guidelines it is perfectly fine to announce that # even if it is less. He said it is more around 7,000 to 9,000 most nights. Traffic, bad weather, game on a school night and a bad team is why people don't come out.

Didn't think it looked like that a tip though.

I think he has it in him already. He's pretty demonstrative on the floor.
