KAT + Wiggins year two. Throw in Thibs and a better supporting cast. They'll win 50 on just defense and giving KAT the ball


Has to be a joke. Wiggins is still a terrible jump shooter, and an even worse 3 point shooter.

I don't see how some people in this thread are rating Minny THAT high.

Do these people really think that minny is going to win as many games this coming season than they did the last two combined?

I think Minny makes a solid jump from last year (35-38 wins), but I just don't see them going from 29 wins last year to 44+ this year. They were one of the slower teams last year and they just got a LOT slower with the Thibodeau hire


All of this. Wiggins isn't going to be much better, KAT maybe a little better,but I just don't see the big jump from a young team.

KAT is the best big in the league. Wiggins is good enough to be a quality sidekick.

Lakers are gonna finish ahead of pels so I was a lil off about that. Maybe even PHX and sac too although I can't go that far quite yet. Looking like a team who can break that 30 win barrier. Congrats.

The Warriors were perfectly fine and now they have no bench or inside game at all. 


Even the Grizzlies beating that arse now.

2-0 they cant and will not be a team with a strong inside game. Just wait until the playoffs when they get worm down because of all the minutes Curry, Durant, Thompson and Green play.

I dont see anyone beating the Spurs in the west. They are on another level this year and seemed more determined.


I think they are better than GS

PUtting so much stock in regular season games.

GS is 31-6, the SKY IS FALLING!!!!

And FYI, all elite players play tons of minutes in the playoffs.

Here to admit I was wrong and Houston looks really good


Was expecting great offense, but was also expecting some sort of Gordon injury

I know Ryno hasn't shot the 3 quite as well as before. He's still capable of having a season where he shoots 40%... and it's still way better than Jones and Beasley shooting 30% from 3.



Ryno currently at 41.5% from 3.

And he hasn't even shite that well at home. He said at home he'd been rushing his shots more and he's focused on being a little more controlled and he's shooting a little better at home now.

So his percentage could go up.

Agreed. He's been jekyll and Hyde. If Gordon, harden and ryno shoot decent, we can beat anyone easily.
