Eddy Syet Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) Well, transitioning, for one. Offense wouldn't really flow as much as it did before for them. LMA's also a defensive liability. Okay. I thought it was something big because you just dismissed the Spurs like that. Transitioning is a given but it's not an insurmountable task. Remember that Kawhi Leonard was a rookie once, thus needed to acclimate himself too but he's now an MVP Finals awardee and a Defensive Player of the Year recipient. I would like to believe that NBA vets such as Aldridge will have an easier time transitioning because of their experience and maturity. Also, let's not forget that there is another key addition to the silver-and-black, David West. I respect your opinion but in my mind, the Spurs are serious contenders for the championship this year.

Guiness Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 they had training camp and preseason so they should be fine. normally you get to work on your team chemistry during training camp so i don't think it will be an issue for them. its a good thing they signed david west too. they can play Big or small now. and give more time for Duncan to have off days.

Contenders yes but I don't see them going all the way this year I'm feeling they'd be there with the Thunder in the WCF. Only a Western Semis run for the defending champs along with the Clips then have the Grizz, Pels, Rockets, and Jazz as the remaining eight. The East would have Cleveland, Chicago, Miami, Toronto, Washington, Atlanta, Indiana, and Milwaukee in that order. Hope the Magic and the Hornets surprise though Quote Link to comment

Cap™ Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 So that means you think the Thunder is going to win the West this year. yessir. They don't have any reason not to, really. Feel ko kasi KD and Russ would put it on themselves to carry OKC back to the Promised Land and that the Spurs are going to make it interesting. OKC in 7. Quote Link to comment

OKC in 7. bold forecast but dont forget any of this team need to pass Golden State before they can go to the Promise Land Quote Link to comment
Cap™ Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 bold forecast but dont forget any of this team need to pass Golden State before they can go to the Promise Land yeah too bold nga. I've seen B/R analyses saying na 4-5 ang OKC sa West. But if Billy Donovan could create something that'd make Enes Kanter and Dion Waiters steals during last year's trade deadline, OKC's gonna be there at the top of the West. Feel ko lang kasi naging overrated yung GSW especially with how Klay and Draymond have been acting out. They're good but they played their roles. I prolly am wrong but that's how I see them.

Guiness Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 well at least there's one other member here who thinks Golden State will get back to the FInals, oddsmakers have the Cavs winning it all this year. Quote Link to comment

I'm not a Cavs fan but I believe that this season is theirs to lose. After all, they have the great LeBron James with them. *sarcasm intentional* Quote Link to comment
darksoulriver Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 imo irregardless of what other West Team acquisitions, they need to break and beat Golden State. as for the CAVS they need to get healthy Quote Link to comment

Lest KD calls it quits and fly back "home." I have no problems winning all the marbles. I'd love KD to finally win one. I just don't see it happening this season. Quote Link to comment
Eddy Syet Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 imo irregardless of what other West Team acquisitions, they need to break and beat Golden State. as for the CAVS they need to get healthy Sound observation, my friend. I, for one, am not counting out the Warriors. Their 60+ win season was not a fluke. They'be been tearing at teams all year and yes, not just because of offense - but because they're the leagues best defensive team! Anyone who can defend deserves the title in my book.

Feel ko lang kasi naging overrated yung GSW especially with how Klay and Draymond have been acting out. They're good but they played their roles. I prolly am wrong but that's how I see them. Enes Kanter and Waiters?! That's a pretty big "IF." As for Klay and Draymond, I do not know what you mean by acting out. Are you talking about "outside the court?" I'm asking because they ARE great inside the court. I would love to have Dray and Klay play for my teams if it's only possible. You missed out the facts that Dray should have won the DPOY last season (I'm not taking anything away from Kawhi - just pointing out facts). He only missed getting the award because Leonard had more second-place votes. Dray had more FIRST PLACE votes. As for Klay, you're underestimating his defense, I assume, because his offense is definitely NOT lacking. He's an above average defender. Never a patsy on defense. Quote Link to comment
Cap™ Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I would love to have Dray and Klay play for my teams if it's only possible. Which teams are you rooting for ba bro? haha. I'm not too sold on their defense because their pace dictates it. I mean, yeah, they're great defenders but pace also plays a huge role. That, and Ron Adams is one heck of an assistant coach (I don't even know why he never got a shot of being Head Coach). Basta I'm not really sold on a repeat. And you're right, it's for LeBron to lose it all this year. Quote Link to comment
