Hey man I love Nate Rob. Holdin' it down for the average people's heights in the world.

Warriors actually look like they have a decent roster for the first time... since I don't know 94?

It's a good thing that the creator was Asian or that might have been offensive.

Seriously, you americans are crazy about that "racism" thing. who cares if he is asian, black or white. People don't get insulted because of their race.

Hardly fair to make a blanket statement against all Americans, particularly when you're talking about racism and your profile indicates you're from Germany.

The Germans cared about Racism... if you know what i mean. Bam! Looks like the Warriors have resigned Brandon Rush as well (per Mark Jackson's Twitter)

We have a massive amount of asian/black footballers in our league and no one would ever get offended (because racism) if a asian/black footballer would get insulted etc...

And Carl Landry! They actually have a pretty deep roster next year.

Curry/Jack
Thompson/Rush
Barnes/R Jeff
Lee/Landry
Bogut/Beans/Ezeli

Top 4 is overly ambitious, but you could make a case for the Warriors being 5-8 seeds.

ill be surprised if the warriors make the 8 seed.

okc, spurs, lal, lac, denver, utah, memphis, minnesota all have superior lineups.

if I was a warriors fan, I'd be looking forward to a year of not tanking, but you probably will start tanking near the all star break anyways, since your coaching sucks.

If Curry and Bogut can stay on the court and play at 100%, that team can do better than 8th. Big if obviously.

It is racism, but it's mocking the racist assumption that Asians are super smart and that this somehow applies to basketball. We call it satire.

sure, they CAN make 8th, but I don't have much confidence in mark jackson to take them there.

they seem like they are on the pheonix, houstan, dallas level, have some pieces that can push them into the playoffs, but will have a hard time against teams with better coaching (wolves, nuggets) or better personal (utah, memphis).

should be a nice to watch in the late night, barring they don't throw in the towel and start tanking again.

the west is pretty deep altogether right now, the worst teams, portland, sac town, new orleans all have one player whom could make an all star game, lma, cousins, gordon respectively.

I think it will surprise me more that other teams shit the bed, rather than the warriors playing well.

Just for fun, maybe we can post our tiers for the two conferences.

West:
1st tier: Thunder, Spurs, Lakers (I know it seems homer-ish, but their frontcourt is unmatched)
2nd tier: Grizzlies, Clippers, Nuggets
3rd tier: Mavs, Jazz, TWolves, Warriors
4th tier: Rockets, Kings, Suns, TBlazers, Hornets

East:
1st tier: Heat
2nd tier: Celtics, Bulls
3rd tier: Pacers, Nets, Knicks (assuming their defense wasn't a fluke)
4th tier: Hawks, Sixers, Bucks
5th tier: Pistons, Cavs, Raptors, Wizards,
6th tier: Bobcats, Magic (assuming no D12)

Most likely to end up tanking:
Bobcats, Pistons, Cavs, Magic, Hornets, TBlazers, Suns

P.S. I don't think the Warriors will tank because their fanbase will not tolerate it for another season. Last year was supposed to be a playoff run, and their decision to trade for an injured Bogut and sit Lee to tank ended up getting their owners booed by their own fans. You can't imagine they'd do it again under those circumstances.

West:
1st tier: Thunder, Spurs, Lakers, Clippers, Grizzlies, - all these teams will make the playoffs, barring injury, and all should have "contender" status by time the playoffs roll around
2nd tier: Nuggets, TWolves, Jazz - These teams should have a good shot making the playoffs
3rd tier: Mavs, Warriors, Suns, Rockets - Outside shot to make the playoffs, could get in depending on SoS, or if another 2nd tier team has a bad injury
4th tier: Kings, TBlazers, Hornets - Tanking/player development, unless Damian Lillard is the second coming of Brandon Roy, then move the Blazers up a tier.

East:
1st tier: Heat
2nd tier: Celtics, Pacers
3rd tier: Nets, Knicks, Bulls - Sorry Bulls fans, but I need to see Rose play again before I put you up on the 2nd tier again.
4th tier: Sixers, Bucks, Raptors, Cavs,Hawks - These teams should be fighting for the last two playoff spots, with an edge to the Sixers and Bucks. Although Uncle Drew might put the cavs on his back, and the Raptors have been slowly upgrading their team, while improving their defense (tremendously). I'll have to see this new hawks team play before I make a judgment on them. Post J.J. their offense is going to look entirely different, and will probably be Smith/Teague centric.
5th tier: Pistons, Wizards, Magic, Bobcats - These teams should* be tanking.

*The Wizards might take a leap forward this year with their vastly improved roster, but they need another good lottery pick before they can really construct a suitable playoff team.


East is hard to predict though, so many subtle player movements that may or may not have a huge impact (Lou Williams to the Hawks for an example)
