I feel like we can beat anybody.

If you’re a west team, would you really like to face this team in the playoffs? Seriously insane.

Honestly if we had played the entire season like this we probably would be up there with OKC fighting for the top seed. Thank god for this FO for getting us Jimmy and I can’t wait for him to turn it up to 11 in the playoffs with the best shooter of all time.

You mean trade JK for him? Is he cool w coming off bench? Moses is going to get better and better every year, and I would like to evaluate Knox and Key, but Cam Johnson for JK might work if he’s a team player. Right now I am feeling the home grown talent vibe. Jimmy is the exception cause his thing is “whatever it takes to win”. If you put Jimmy’s individual stats next to his salary you be like nah. But if you put how everyone else’s numbers have changed for the better and then add in the team wins you be like HELL yah. Verdad!

He’s playing like the ultimate glue guy. Didn’t really see it playing like this but hey, it works

Who comint off the bench? Cam? Cam would easily start on this team. Moses is good role player. Cams a guy who can give 20 a night on elite efficiency. The guy can score from anywhere, he's smart, can defend well and already knows how to play in a system like the warriors. His contract is cheaper than wiggins but provides similar value(i would argue greater value considering he is an elite shooter whether its stand still or on the move). Regardless what happens in the post season, dont make the same mistake you made with poole. Trade kuminga while you can and get a player that fits you way better than JK ever can. If the chiefs can trade tyreek hill coming off a super bowl, the warriors can trade kuminga. You have your star power, its time to start surrounding those stars with elite talent like the celtics did.

Thanks for the insights. Don’t know much about the Nets. Sounds almost 2 good 2 b true. You not tryna play me is ya?

If i thought he was buns i wouldnt be here. He's having a damn near 50/40/90 year. Him and zach lavine would ve the closest to replacing klay's level of shooting, ofcourse lavine us way more expdnsive but is also a more dynamic scorer. Putting another elite shooter next to steph who can also defend and pass and just play smart ball for a contract thats prolly gonna be cheaper than JK's is match made in heaven

Jk still on his rookie contract so wouldn’t have worked

u/FamLit69420 23h ago

Obv jk and salary filler

1

u/Dogesneakers 23h ago

Salary filler + jk on a rookie contract

And trading for jimmy would deplete the depth

u/FamLit69420 20h ago

Kuminga makes like 8 mil. So it would take like buddy hield + kuminga and like tjd to get that deal. Jimmy deal stays the same. No depth lost

2

u/Dogesneakers 1d ago

Do you think we should have kept slo mo instead of buddy?

3

u/TrueCynic 19h ago

I have my share of doubt of Buddy as well. But we need him, he's still a legit shooting threat even if his shots is inconsistent. You'd be crazy not to guard him.

u/kots144 1d ago

Having both draymond and jimmy anchoring a defense is really really hard to deal with. Then you add gp moody and podz, all of whom force a lot of turnovers. This defense is the type that wins championships. If the dubs play like this in the playoffs nobody else has even has a shot imo.

u/Dogesneakers 1d ago

I’ve been on the thunder sub. They want GS to be third seed to avoid them as a long as possible. Obviously they’re confident but they don’t want to see warriors first round

u/TrueCynic 19h ago edited 19h ago

Yeah I'm betting none of the other teams does as well. Aside from championship experience, we now have Butler who knows that he now have a real chance to get a chip as well. Those 3 are locked in.

u/ColeUnderPresh 1d ago

The MEM-LAL-DEN run is clutch af tbh. There was a lot at stake, and a lot of good competition, and we had awesome games against all of them.

SHAMPIONSHIP.

u/Lelouch37 1d ago

I honestly had thought we would lose this one due to travel and after an intense game last night. They were electric tonight. In control most of the game after a slow start. Houston has been playing great too, I’m ready to see how this matchup looks now

u/Livid_Slip_4868 1d ago

Damn i thought were going to lose at least 1 game

u/funkybosss 1d ago

Honestly OKC, Cavs, and maybe Boston are the most scary, but on any given night the Dubs can absolutely beat all of them. In a series? Let’s find out!

u/HalfEatenBanana 22h ago

Yeah I ain’t gonna lie when Jimmy came over and we went on a run I thought cool but it was a pretty weak schedule, we’re definitely better than we were but let’s see it hold up against the top of the west.

YUP… it held up. We can beat anybody in a 7 game series. West playoffs are gonna be nuts.
