    I saw both Belinelli and Redick improve through film first, then improve with the confidence and playing time. This is why I loved Thibs so much, he develops his guys that way. You avoid a Tim Hardaway Jr./Tyreke Evans situation.

    I give the Warriors a 15% chance to repeat and that is probably to generous.

    It's tough to repeat, regardless of who you are. Since 2000 only the Lakers and Heat managed it. The Spurs, as good as they've been, never managed to repeat. If you are a contender, you just have to get in the playoffs and then hope for a bit of luck in terms of health and breaks. But once you win one, the stigma is broken, and you are likely to win more. The Spurs may not have repeated, but they won several nonetheless. This century the only team that won it just once with the same core group is Dallas. (Correction, Detroit as well).

    I don't think the Warriors will be another Dallas. They may not repeat, but as long as they keep their core, they will contend for the next several years, and will probably win another one at some point. When you think about their players, they've had so many significant injuries in previous years (Curry, Bogut, Iguodala, Livingstone, Ezeli, Barbosa, Lee etc) that they were all pretty much due a healthy season, and they got one. Two healthy seasons in a row might just be too much to ask, but they have the mix of players and ownership to stay in contention for a while, so don't be surprised if they "get lucky" again in the near future.

    I'm going to take the time to enjoy this awesome season, and will worry about the next one later on.

    I am off idea if you dont repeat your not that good, and rely on other big teams having off year to win.Same lik Spurs, they only win when others have off years. They could never beat Kobe/Shaq at their best.

    Phil Jackson "Tim Duncan making the salary he's making after being part of a dynasty—not a dynasty, I wouldn't call San Antonio a dynasty—a force, a great force. They haven't been able to win consecutive championships but they've always been there. San Antonio has had a wonderful run through Tim's tenure there as a player. He's agreed to take a salary cut so other players can play with him so they can be this good. And that's the beginning of team play."

    When you are the only team to not get eliminated, you are that good. Championships are so difficult to win and it's no crime if the Warriors don't repeat.

    Why? Teams make up positions with 0 responsibility all the time to keep their former stars on their feet. Sure he might be dumb, but he did what he did best for Philadelphia and played his ass off. He doesn't deserve to die, just because he has no brain.

    Ai will be a meet n greet guy I doubt he gets in the front office

    He also has lots of money saved. His financial advisor opened an account with 30 million dollars worth of savings and he has access to like 500k to a milly a year or something

    Either way he's not exactly poor

    I am huge fan of potato chips, I eat lot of them.For health reasons my mother banned from it for 2 months now.You reminded me of what I WANT.

    Lin is top 15 point guard in this league IMO. He is decent player.

    Potato chips are great, Lin, however, is not. He's a backup living off a decent stretch with D'Antoni's system. He was poor to mediocre in Houston, and got beat out by a second-round rookie in Los Angeles.

    Ketchup chips are good, as are Salt and Vinegar.

    Sour cream and onion is not bad either, but then they make your breath stink so you have to be careful there

    I am young guy , I lied about my age as in my profile because I didnt want to lose credibility.

    Wade is going to the Lakers, yet another proof how fake of a team the Miami Heat were. No pride playing for that team.

    My reaction to the idea of Wade to Lakers:
    [​IMG]
    Wade has zero upside, his body is breaking down to the point where he is basically fine china in bubblewrap, and he's going to want to get PAID. It's another Kobe situation. Also, if you want to point to an example of plasticity, you might not want to use the one involving a club legend that spent all his years of being a productive player in Miami and loves the community.
