[QUOTE=coin24]:lol :lol standard Bogut[/QUOTE]
we have learned that the hard way. And we was supposed to save us this season. How can he save us when he can only play 12 games all year? Well, we have learned that Bogut isn't going to save us. We cannot count on him.

Bogut's a former #1 pick as a big man who is not Tim Duncan.
So he's either a scrub (Kwame), mediocre (bargnani), or injured (Yao Ming and Oden).
He's probably the last two.
Re: Tangible Proof that the Lakers will finish ahead of Warriors
Brandon Rush's goal this year was to start at small forward. He probably would have eventually because he is the more experienced and competent player than Harrison Barnes. He is a lights out 3 point shooter, he can drive the basketball in the paint, and can play really good defense.
I felt Rush was the backbone to the team. Going down really costed them. The Warriors could have been 36-23 instead of 33-26 this year, just by having Rush.
The Warriors will go 43 wins if they all stay healthy. They simply cannot hang
with the Kings, Lakers, or Rockets. They have not beat them all year and won't beat them because they get beat up on transition and size.
Sadly, even with the Lakers losing their 2 biggest guys Jordan Hill and Pau Gasol, they are going to catch us and pass us up because they have the more favorable schedule. It really is disheartening because The warriors were the feel good story of the year and the Lakers were the biggest disappointment of the year. And then when they actually finish better than us, it will be really heartbreaking and embarrassing.
Harrison Barnes is a weakness for the Warriors. He does good sometimes
and shows flashes of being good, but more often that not he is very passive
and doesn't have much of an impact on the floor.
He doesn't seem to have a great shot either. More often that not, his jumper
is not going in.
The Warriors need someone at the small forward who can create their own
shot, especially when the shot clock is winding down. Rudy Gay, Andre
Iguadola, Nick Batum, or even a Stephen Jackson would have been a
better fit. Someone who can dominate the ball once in a while and put
in a basket.
I didn't expect them to get streaky like this. Elite teams do
not do this. If Curry was really an elite player, the Warriors would
be an elite team. A good example is Chris Paul. Without Paul, the
Clippers are not that good, but with Paul the Clippers are elite. The
Warriors are not elite even with Curry.
They need help. Bogut wasn't much help this year. Missed all of last year,
had all of this year to heal and hasn't played.
They need Biedrins's contract to expire. Sad to see him go, but Biedrins
salary makes it hard to sign anyone else because he takes up the
cap space.
Good teams take care of good teams. Sure, the Warriors beat some elite
teams, but more often than not, they seem to be playing from behind
against good teams and cannot stop turning the ball over.

Re: Tangible Proof that the Lakers will finish ahead of Warriors
Ok I was unfazed by the losses before but now its becoming a bit of a problem, I heard one of the GSW's radio guys same something like teams have stopped getting into shooting contests with them and are now attacking the Warriors off the dribble to the rim more often which I have noticed is true.
He also outlined that the Warriors have in there starting line up three below average defenders in Curry, Klay & Lee which means if you attack them in the paint or of the bounce and not take jumpshots you can have great success. At the start of the year teams would more often get into shootouts with the Warriors and loss badly but they have slowly began to figure them out.

[QUOTE=SacJB Shady]Every single one of my game explanations is true[/QUOTE]
They're not explanations. They're predictions.
And the proof you offer isn't tangible because these events haven't happened yet.
You made a bunch of wild guesses. These are neither tangible nor proof.
I hold this thread up as tangible proof that you are batshit crazy.
Re: Tangible Proof that the Lakers will finish ahead of Warriors
I stopped reading at them losing in Philly. Not going to happen.
Warriors will make the playoffs. If any team is questionable it's the Jazz. Look at their schedule. Look at their next 10 games. Lakers will take their spot.

I love how the #6 team in the west "has to respect" the worst team in the west (the Kings), the Sixers, and the Raptors. I'm sorry, did I miss something where the Warriors were suddenly in a position where they were fighting for a playoff spot?
Re: Tangible Proof that the Lakers will finish ahead of Warriors
[QUOTE=SacJB Shady]The Warriors will probably only end up winning 43 games this year, let's look at their upcoming schedule.
@ Philadelphia L
They will lose this game because the Warriors are on a losing streak and are desperate to get home. In their minds, they think that they have it easy from here so they will coast it[/QUOTE]

11-17 in 2013, 3-10 in their last 13 games. They are officially invited to the Utah/Houston/Lakers party.
