I’m not being pessimistic here. I love this roster. But anyone seriously thinking we can be “true” contenders in the West…

I really don’t think so. We will be good. Very good. 2nd round good.

But man the West is going to be fricking STACKED next year and this is pre-Free Agency.

This team is still young as hell, has a lot to learn, and has flaws.

We don’t have enough interior D and rim protection. Not enough consistent outside shooting. Bench PG play is a wildcard. I love Jose but don’t see him as a full time backup PG. I seem him as an energy and defense guy in spot minutes, 10-15 minutes a game.

No team is flawless. But we will be good. I’m excited as hell.

I’m with you mostly Bunch. We are short on shooting and defense when it comes playoff time. That being said, I can see us beating the Suns. Clippers scare me but will Kawhi be playing at the end of the year? I think we are better than Memphis honestly. Dallas doesn’t scare me and they were in western conference finals.

It’s largely dependent on Zion being healthy and Zion being a top ten type of player. If he is, I don’t know. Stranger things have happened.

just kawhi coming back changes the balance and GSW looks to be on another run. But, there’s an opening with Utah, Denver and Phoenix having issues

Bunchie, we had like the most efficient offense once BI/CJ got settled. Now we add the most efficient scorer of 2021 to that team.

Also this is assuming no development from: Herb, Trey, and Jax plus the lack of: Nance, Daniels, and Kira. If we get development and Nance, Daniels, and Kira add to that end stretch, we're fricking scary for anyone except the elite of the elite.

The West is wide open.
If you have been watching the NBA for more than a year or two it was obvious during the playoffs that was the weakest field of playoff teams in well over a decade.
