Too many teams try to out small ball the Warriors which is so dumb. Our two best players being in the front court gets us away from that stupid shite and forces our hand. Not even Uncle Al can mess that up.

The Grizzlies are a good example. They give the Warriors a hell of a time.

That's what I told my TV this morning!

One of the ESPN guys was all like "well this is a small ball , space and play league. I don't know if this will work".

It's not rocket science.

-Oh, you want to go small and have a 6'7" dude play the 5.

-Here ya go, take two athletic 7 footers in your face.

Need to keep diallo for the future backup 4 and would love to resign Montiejunas to be our backup 5. Need to do everything we can to put together a trade for Paul George and the rest of the roster will be easy to fill out.

Yeah too many teams are dumb as frick.

Oh the Warriors are the most elite fast paced team in the history of the NBA? Let's run with them.

The RealGM thread on the trade notes that the Warriors are probably pissed about this trade given that we are likely getting the 8 seed now.

Would you want to face Boogie and Brow if you were the 1 seed? That is a team which is a horrible matchup for them and legit could bounce them if the 3s aren't landing.

Do we think Dell was being crafty and planning to go big or did the deal just fall into their lap and was too good to pass up?

No doubt GS has to be feeling uneasy now about that 1 vs 8 matchup.

the only problem is the coach who still wants to run a faster paced offense. really need to get a coach.

lol. no. Maybe steal a couple of games but this team aint bouncing the warriors and the warriors shouldn't really even be concerned. The dubs will get fed up and double off of Solomon Hill just like they did to the Thunder and then rip us to shreds with pace and space on offense. This makes us a much better team, but beating the Warriors? Come on man.

yeah the key is that AD/Boogie are both mobile as hell and can defend pnr on defense well (theoretically at least) and on offense they can both dribble, pass, and shoot. i mean these are 2 very, very unique big men who can "play small"
