It makes you wonder what would have been if Hayward stayed. 

I know we don't sympathize with Detroit because Classy but every time Mitchell goes off I think of how they drafted Kennard and his 7ppg right before Mitchell was selected.

Also, Curry out at least three weeks with an MCL sprain. He could miss the first round. I don't think the Warriors would lose more than game or two without him but a first round series vs Utah or Minnesota without him would be interesting.

They may not have a choice. Like I said, I don’t think GSW would have an issue without Curry. But what a time to be alive if they decided to try and hold him out for the first round then they lose the first game to Minnesota or Utah.

Curry last time with the sprain was not nearly the same when he came back.

GSW this year without Curry are onyl out scoring teams by like 4 points. This is a very beatable team if he is out. Spurs cause of Pop (and hey, maybe Kawhi comes back), New Orleans, Minny would be very tough outs. Utah I don’t think has enough offense.

I don't think Kawhi wants any part of the rest of this season lol

Oh I agree. lol. He is checked the fuck out.

That said, I also wouldn’t be shocked if he decided to play all of a sudden versus GSW. He came back, then backed out of lineup. It’s a weird, fluid situation.

Steve Kerr just said in his pregame presser that Steph won’t play in the first round.

Well that's interesting, albeit makes zero difference. Bet their defense increases quite a bit too.

Saw that everyone's favorite short-time Cav, Isaiah Thomas, is shut down again due to hip surgery, so his 2017-18 season has been about as from the previous year as humanly possible.

How in the fuck Cavs saw him and his injury and got an additional 2nd rounder and not Brown/Tatum is fucking crazy.

I'm banned from the Cavs thread for whatever reason but I think they still come out of the east.    The west will be a tough path and they just may beat each other up too much.   

No one in the east shoild scare Cleveland

He's such a bitch. I don't understand where this side of him came from. He was always the calm, even-keeled assasin. Now he acts like an entitled twat.

I wonder if some of it has to do with that he doesn't get the amount of attention as LeBron. So now he wants to come off as the "tough", badboy.

Could be wrong but I think a lot of it stems from the backlash he took when he went to join the team he couldn't beat in the West. I think people got under his skin and the whole thing still gets to him. He had an interview with (I believe) Colin Cowherd the other day and he was already warning internet "trolls" and "fan boys" to not even bother responding to him.

Anyone who has to create fake Twitter names to defend themselves is a tad thin skinned.

And those shoes, lol. Where the soles were nothing but all the stuff people were saying about him combined with, in yellow, a bunch of stuff like "16-1" and "Finals MVP". Over the years, he's become thin-skinned to a degree that even the worst of the typical NBA diva-type tries to avoid.
