Tuesday begins the Warriors' revenge tour. It's completely unfair with Kevin, Steph, Draymond, and Klay (and the role players). If the major components can remain healthy, then it's a wrap. I thought they'd struggle defensively, but from what I've seen of them in the preseason, I was way off-base.

Nevertheless, inb4 Russ bodies KD on November 3.

Never mind. Looks like I was right originally.

The Spurs are looking good. So weird though to see them without Timmy.

The Cavs are some bad mamma jammas. The East should be theirs without much effort unless Toronto and Boston can channel the '95-96 Bulls.

All of that from just one game huh? Seems like you have it all figured out. ;)

meh one game....warriors will play over 100 games this season. they are a new team and it will take few games before all 3 stars know their role. They were always gonna become weaker defensively. But with much stronger offence it shouldnt be a problem

Popovich is the greatest coach ever imo. His consistency an ability to build 'teams' in every sense of the word is unparalleled.

Nothing I'd bet my life savings on lol

Didn't see the entire CLE-NYK and GS-SA games since I was flipping back and forth between them and the World Series, but from what I saw, the Cavs haven't missed a beat and the Spurs didn't have too much trouble with the Warriors. Although, Golden State isn't gonna face offenses on the level of San Antonio nightly, so that may have been an overreaction from me, but if that game was any indication, KD, Curry, and co. are going to have huge problems come playoff time. They still have 81 games to figure it out and form chemistry, mind.

Love how Pop has stopped giving a f**k and is rocking the full beard now.

Got my popcorn ready for when Westbrook bodies KD, then does reenactment of Iverson's step-over on Lue.

All the reports of GSW's collapsing is a bit premature it seems.

Yes there defense has been suspect without Bogart but as soon as they sort that out and get into rhythm I expect them to be up there till the play offs.

watched them lose to the lakers by 20 points.....got absolutely murdered on the rim. They have no defense and I just dont see how they can get past Spurs or even Memphis. Any team who is great on the inside will be nightmare for them. They also lost the ball movement with Durant there. Will outscore most teams. But against the best team they will struggle imo

After seeing them spank OKC I have no worries about them at all, just think they had defensive issues early as they needed time to gel, GSW are a smart team, they seemed to already have sorted this out.
