I still cant bet against LeBron as of now It's still early yet and a long ways to go. Crushing blow to Boston in the first quarter of their season no doubt. But this gives them a shot to develop all the younger guys. And they will still be a playoff team. Too soon in the east, a few other teams will be in the mix too. Cavs will be favored due to Lebron but they need to pick it up soon.......and they WILL miss Kyrie's scoring more then they think they will, they already are. And even if IT does play later it remains to be seen how his hip will be and his defense is bad, very very bad. But the Cavs defense since Lue took over has been dreadful at times.

Then if the Warriors are back too we can get Draymond vs. Beal for a full series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Coltsbestever Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Until Washington makes a Final 4 I don't trust them. That is usually the first step. The ClipperSterns never made that step Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Coltsbestever Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Regarding the Clippers, they will always be the ClipperSterns to me. David Stern blocked the Lakers from getting CP3 and basically hand gifted the Clippers CP3. They still never made a Final 4 with CP3/Griffin/Jordan/Redick, what a bunch of chokes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just....... They would be a great team.. in 2009. Lebron was already telling people he was slowing down last year. There is not a "switch" this year. Rose is done. Wade is done. Korver is done. And literally no reason for the Warriors to panic.. they will find the cruise. Nothing has really changed for them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he still continues to get consistent heavy play time when Turner comes back. Considering he can play both the 4-5 I'm sure he will. I would still like to see them both start though.

Yep and Sabonis definitely has the potential to be the future along with Turner and Oladipo. They're all three exceptionally young. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the defense isn't earth shattering, the team doesn't look disorganized and dysfunctional like last year with extremely obvious miscues. In other words it doesn't look like a team playing their first year together, not yet knock on wood! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at his Playoffs in 2016 vs Toronto and even vs Cavs he was Great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Coltsbestever Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 PG actually was the best player in the Toronto series, we just blew Game 5. Every game against the Cavs was close too. I am hoping this years team has better chemistry as a team, so far they are on their way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malakai432 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Wow only 55 points for Sac with 9:40 left in the 4th lol. They must just be flat out bad.

IndyScribe Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 This team is a lot more fun to watch than last year's. Sabonis and Oladipo will be our core for the future. Leaf looks good and Myles is going to return soon. Looks like the core is already here, just need to add a few more pieces over the next few years.
