Season starts tonight with Knicks and Celtics followed by Lakers and TWolves.

Will history be made early in the 2nd game?

Their entire focus needs to be winning a NBA championship.

They won't and haven't been. For the last month they've been doing staggered rest. They almost always rest 2 of 5 of SGA, J-Dub, Chet, IHart, and Wiggins.

Seems like normal form for them. Talking shit to a new rookie who isn't even in the same stratosphere as them. Just embarrassing.

But the Lakers bench played about as poorly as I've ever seen a bench play and really Luka's shot was off all night.

Doesn't seem replicable.

The Warriors defense forced him to struggle.

Luka was going through the motions from the first minute last night. Virtually no intensity at all on his part. Won't be the case if the teams play in the playoffs.

He started it.

[Sassy Squatch]

Draymond Green is by far the most embarrassing in that clip.

Post wasn't wrong.

Post is a 2nd round pick who is contributing to his team. He's developing his skill so far this year.

And the Warriors are making a statement by beating the Lakers and Nuggets in consecutive nights.

All of the Warriors championships were won when they played good defense and right now they are playing top notch defense.

Warriors making the playoffs interesting. Jimmy, Curry, and Green have that playoff experience and they think they have something cooking.

(now back to your OKC,LA,& DENVER thread).

Hey, I’m the guy who said the Warriors should be taken seriously as soon as they traded for Butler (amidst many doubters including their own fans).

I’m not the one who has to be convinced Jimmy Butler is a really good impactful player, nothing about what they are doing is surprising to me.

Still would take OKC or LA over them in the West but that’s it right now.

Of course you think that

At least Jimmy and the Warriors have a small chance. The Warriors seem to think they have it.

[RealSNR]

This shit happens every time Jimmy ****its goes to a new team.

There's the honeymoon, and then he randomly decides the team isn't good enough for him.

He might get a ring this time before he goes off half-cocked, but he's still a whacko who shouldn't be trusted with any kind of team leadership whatsoever.

Yeah, too bad Luka just didn’t throw down on some scrub immediately

Bring me back to the 80s
