I think the story is spot on. Especially this bit:
The Golden State Warriors are the Golden State Warriors. LeBron is LeBron. Why needlessly accelerate towards a brick wall, then watch as teams with bright futures and a plethora of assets zoom on by?
If I'm the Cs, I sit back, maybe kick tires here and there, but I don't feel a need to trade for the sake of trading.
Sober thought - kinda sucks for some fans. You want to see the C's put up a good fight but you know that the talent is below CLE and TOR. You want to shake it up to go further in the playoffs but you know that it will only harm us in the LONG long run. Looking forward to June already!!!
We're right there with Toronto.
No we are not....that's a false perception. We are at the top of Tier 3 in the EC. You can say that we lost without AB in the lineup but if you watched the game we gave 110% effort and still lost.
Our record vs +.600 teams is really bad AND we are either 0-2 or 0-3 vs Toronto this year.
"you can say we lost without AB in the lineup" and that would be completely accurate. You cant act like missing a starter isnt at the very least a mitigating factor.
We are 0-2 against them. We lost the other game without Isaiah Thomas. We are just 2 games behind them in the standings and our best 5 (starters - Amir + Smart) have missed 28 games to Toronto's 12.
For my money, healthy boston is better than healthy Toronto. Also as much as we
Edited. Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline. about Isaiah not being effective in the playoffs Derozan drops off even more come playoff time.
In a 7 game series Im taking the home team. They are no longer clearly ahead of us.
