    Default Who will hand the Warriors their first L?

    I would've said the Grizzlies a year ago, but now they stink. I do believe they face the Clippers on the 19th which the Clippers could take, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it will be the Jazz who take them down on 11/30.

    Legit though, of all the teams I see in November, these two (and possibly the Raps) pose the biggest threats.

    A bad warriors shooting night on a back to back against an opponent with great interior defense.
    I predict someone unimagined, like Utah.

    Bulls on November 20th (after spending lots of energy beating the clippers the night before)
    then the Jazz on November 30th.

    First two losses.

    I think theyll drop a game to an unexpected team.

    cavs got a lot of size tbh. If there is a team constructed to beat the warriors it's them. Everybody says to beat the warriors you need to play fast, but the warriors are very beatable in a proper halfcourt set. They get out of rythm, can't run, get posted up a lot, get tired, imo they lack a personel to handle a proper big lineup (especially for an entire series).

    The only big western lineups can't (memphis-poor backcourtl) or won't (clippers-dumb) set a slow pace for the game. Jury is still out on the new spurs, they seem a bit soft.
    Another team that might give the warriors consistent trouble is chicago, but they swing wildly between nice offense and an iso brickfest.

    Who says that? That's far from true. You can't beat the Warriors playing at their pace, they are too good at that. As LeBron showed in the finals last year, if you slow down the pace of the game to a crawl the Warriors look very human

    Agree the Clips/Bulls back-to-back should be tough, although not much travel.

    Utah is tough against PGs and will be at home so Nov 30 looks like a tough game.

    A 6-game road trip in early December - you'd think they'd have 1 off-shooting night someday, right?

    If I only had one pick for the lottery, I'd go Clips Nov 19.
