1. The old core just cannot play enough minutes and only Steph even has a fastball

2. Young core has no juice. Gui Podz Yax are all impotent at creating advantages.

3. No size, no length provided by the FO: stop blaming Kerr when he plays 4 guards when the wing depth is MALEVY Leon's

4. We have a bottom 5 big rotation in the league: KP cannot play, Al is too old, Dray is horrendous on offense. Bassey is incredibly injury prone but a great 15th man. Ike is utterly unplayable.

5. we have no creation and no shooting either. Expect tons of games where we shoot 20% from three on high volume.

after watching the entire summer and this game, I think it’s fair to lower our expectations further.

I expect a 30-win season. What about you guys?

Obligatory : Joe Lacob is the GOAT. Magic Mike is EOY and we must kiss his toes each night for the flexibility and optionality he has brought to our franchise.

Got excited the warriors are playing… just to see the game is only streaming on league pass. Am I mistaken or is the first pre season game really not locally available?

I was also excited but that’s my fault for thinking this team could be competitive with this roster. It’s also my fault when every single interview with Kerr and curry has basically been telling us to lower our expectations. Now after seeing our players today I see why I was kinda getting ahead of myself

Surprised theres so little buzz, but happy to have something to look forward too

Watching today’s game I think Bassey should start at the center position when porzingis out. Hes actually much better than I thought he would be. That yaxel and bassey buckets looked really good.

What do you guys think the Warriors’ young players will do this season. Here are my projections:

Podz: He’s gonna breakout this season. Every year he’s gotten better, with both higher usage and higher efficiency. He’s on the cusp of being a real game changer. Last season he averaged 14-5-4 on league-average efficiency (58% TS) and 20% usage. If he ups that to 16-6-5 with slightly better usage and efficiency — which he’s done every year — then he’s one of the league’s better 3rd options. And I project 18 points per game for Podz.

Gui: Another player who has gotten better every year. Last year he averaged 9-4-2 on 61% true shooting (league average was 58%), and he did that in only 20mpg. The real obstacle he’s facing this season is the addition of Yaxel in his same position. I’m personally hoping that Dray and plays a lot less and some of those minutes go to Gui. But I project he’ll play similar minutes to last season (20mpg) but will increase his usage slightly without a decline is his efficiency. Let’s call it 11-5-2 in the same 20mpg.

Yaxel: It’s hard to predict how he’ll do without seeing any NBA action, but all the reports out of camp have been positive and his summer league was great. I don’t think he’ll be a big scorer right out of the gate, but I think he’ll fill up the box score everywhere else. I see him this season at 10-8-5 with 2.5 stocks per game. I worry a bit about his defense, but if he can be an off-ball disrupter, then I think he can stay on the court.

Will: I’m lowest on Will. I don’t see a lot of room for him in the rotation. He played 20mpg last season, but I expect that will be down to around 15mpg this year. Hopefully the three will fall (he was at 33.5% last year) and his POA defense will improve. If we can get a good season out of him, then it’s a pure bonus. He was the 56th pick, and most guys that late in the draft don’t make it in the league. More than anything, I’m hoping he can establish himself and a clear rotation player, even if he’s deep in the rotation. I’m a little skeptical, but I’m hoping to be surprised.

What do you guys think we’ll see from the young guys this season?

Jimmy Butler is itching to return, but for now, he's finding ways to impact the Warriors from the sidelines as he works through his ACL rehab.

He's arriving early, getting shots up, working out and keeping practices light while staying vocal with his teammates.
