They lost to wolves and celts in the last 1.5 weeks. At home. And almost lost to Memphis too. Clearly they aren't playing as good as they were earlier in the season.



They also beat the Spurs twice and became the only team to beat them in San Antonio all damn season

Sorry that doesn't impress me as much as the home losses to BOS and MIN show me that they aren't at their best. They are easily better than the Spurs so them beating Spurs doesn't mean a lot to me. They dont need their A game to beat anyone. Even their B game beats the Spurs, for them to lose to those teams tells me that was their C-, D game.

So you're expecting their D- game 3 times in the first round series when the games actually count for them?

I mean he was. Stuck with the starting lineup way too long. Realized Meyers Leonard was a matchup problem way too late. Took too long to bring CJ in to the games.

Saw an earlier post where you said "gun to my head, Warriors in 7". That's what I was going off of.

Team starts season

55-5 undefeated at home

Ends season

18-4 2 losses to subpar teams at home

And you are shocked that someone thinks they were better early in the season than late.

use your brain ya fricking idiot

Doesn't matter. They would have Cleveland in round 2. I was hoping for the 3 seed so they would at least have a chance at conference finals.

Meyers had a very limited role last season. Same with CJ. We traded our 1st plus Barton (and others) for a two month rental to pretty much take CJ out of the game because he was A)Coming off injury and B)Stotts never got him involved after.

You can blame Stotts for riding his starters though. He didn't develop CJ much and he isn't sure if he likes Leonard.

Point remains, that team was in shambles.

id almost rather play the cavs in the 2nd round. frick it. gotta get by them anyways and maybe they wont be prepared or some shite since it's not the conference finals. then if we somehow win, we are playing a winnable series to get to the finals.

probably makes no sense, but they could easily look past the hawks after last year. they won't, but they could damn it.
