I think they'll get in the playoffs don't get me wrong. Just not a top 5 seed and the defense won't be good.

I disagree. If you go back and look at teams with a top 5 offense... even if the defense isn't good, they still generally finish 4th, 5th, or 6th.

San Antonio will beat Golden State. Bookmark it and call me dumb. The Warriors were perfectly fine and now they have no bench or inside game at all. Leonard will take the next step to 2 way Superstar, and The Warriors won't have anyone to stop Aldridge and Gasol. They will get out rebounded so badly.

Jaja pachulia is probably better than both bogut and Ezeli tbh. Also curious as to who they lost off the bench... Ezeli and barbosa? those are average NBA backups they can be replaced by nearly anyone. adridge and gasol can't play at the the same time VS the Warriors they are so bad defensively they will get totally abused.

spurs are less of a threat this year than they were last year. And they posed no threat to GSW last season.

They lost Ezeli, Bogut, Barbosa, Barnes. You have iggy who wont even last this season with his back. You'll see how The Warriors will fall apart.

They lost 2 starters. Gained 2 MUCH better starters.

Lost 2 bench guys, who were merely average players and can be replaced by guys on the roster. Ie Ian Clark. Varejao stinks, but he was getting minutes over Ezeli late in the season. I don't see where the bench lost anything really.

He has his moments like barbosa, but overall not much of a loss.

I cannot wait for pissed off Westbrook mode. All these stories coming out that Durant slighted him on his way out is like fuel to the fire. Definitely a League Pass all star team.

99th percentile irl
95th percentie on message boards / twitter / etc

Ezeli was benched for Varejao.

Andy bogut is stil a good player but on his last leg and can't even play half the game.

It's private, or at least it was for a while when I figured out what it was.

Yep. Actually it's my 'work' handle. Don't have a persona Twitter tbh. Just follow a few hoops accounts. There's prob enough there to identify me irl. So I try to keep it locked down.

He's so "big" (literally and figuratively) he prefers to keep it private. Don't want Tbird to come across it

Guys like Bogut, Ezeli, Barbosa were handpicked for that offense. Guys like Pachulia and West are there because that's all they could afford.
