Millenials due to outside shooting, 3s > 2s. Other generations won't be able to keep up with that rate of scoring, only Gen Z and they are simply not good enough yet.
Gen X size skills and power will be a big problem for the others

but yeah 3s is a nightmare for the other teams
Bird can manage but others I don’t know how well they will adapt
 
These next games are crucial, if GSW proves that they can handle Lakers and Nuggets then I will like their odds. Games are starting to feel like it’s the playoffs.
This team has a mental roadblock against Denver for some reason lol I'm willing to bet we lose simply because of it

About the Lakers, I think we can beat them in a playoff series but that's the last thing I want because I'm too mentally exhausted for another 2 weeks of pure toxicity between LeBron fans and Curry fans. 2015-2018 me handled it due to being younger but 2023 me was wayyy too exhausted lol

For the roadtrip, I think we go 1-1, beat the Lakers but lose to Denver

However, Denver are not a good team. Once we get over the mental hump of beating them then I'm sure we beat them in a playoff setting, so this RS game is key

Adam Silver rigging a big superstar trade to inject juice into a dead NBA season? Color me surprised


This brother saw a Cavs vs OKC final and made the call

OKC still probably making it out of the west barring some shock injuries in the final phase of the season. They may genuinely end the season on 70 wins

And they're definitely getting atleast 68

At that point there's only one team that didn't go on to win the championship(:perocry:) and every team made the final

Cavs are definitely not making the finals. Celtics have had bad injury luck to start the season off and have a far better coaching team and have infinitely more playoff experience and are just coming off a ring. They were also coasting. Cavs lose to them in a playoff series easily

OKC vs Celtics final is my pick

Yeah, Denver feels like a bad matchup so far. Warriors have to avoid getting the 6th seed for the first round, maybe even going down to 7th is the ideal scenario. Rockets is not a scary team to face at all but the extra games from the play-in is a disadvantage and there’s a chance that they could lose in the play-ins which will be very disappointing.

I’m still not fully convinced that OKC can get out of the west, veteran teams like Warriors, Lakers and Nuggets in a 7-game series can pull off an upset. The west is a stacked conference. Celtics is a lock for the east.

It’s total war in the west

Only Memphis and Clippers feel a tone below
Post automatically merged:

The play in was a good idea

teams have to fight till last moments to be directly qualified for the playoff
It’s good
And 9/10 seeds can still fight for something too and are not tempted to tank

Maybe all true, but it's much less certain now after the Luka trade. Adam Silver made sure the playoffs have interesting storylines for the retards on the talk shows to yell at each other over.

And of course we'll be evaluating how this affects Lebron's legacy vs Michael Jordan every 5 minutes in the playoffs wooooo
 
Tomorrow is genuinely D-Day lol we play a rivalry game against the Lakers while Grizzlies and Clippers also play against fodder opponents while half a game behind us. There's so many things that can happen and most of the situations point towards an LA-GSW series which I absolutely dread.

Well, we'll see what happens but I'm praying for the best

Idk

AD had been the bane of the warriors in the last few years against LA. Without him, I think we got a fair shot.
