Damn. You stood a 95% chance of owning us tonight. Instead, you rolled snake eyes. Here's a little tune to cry yourself to sleep tonight

95%?? We were at home, had won 12 of last 15 games, and were 9-1 when given 2 or more days of rest. We were practically the favorite.

Is this season still an unmitigated disaster?

Only if they lose their draft pick. I'm not into winning the battle only to lose the war.

We will lose the draft pick because we will make the playoffs because we are that good. Getting the pick would've meant all these players, esp Dame and CJ, weren't as good as we hoped and THAT would've been an unmitigated disaster. Growing as a unit is better than the 14th pick in the draft.

You killed it on this one. A high draft pick is great. I would love to have one. But, would I want our players to suck this year and not make huge improvements? Never. This team is getting better and better and I love it.

Playoffs>mid lottery always

However, I will say I like guys like Sabonis, Valentine and Brice Johnson. I wouldn't be opposed to Neil working his magic to land one of them lol
 
This team still lacks a second all-nba caliber player. So while getting into the playoffs would provide some nice "feels," losing a draft pick and at least a couple of our own pending free agents isn't going to help this team take the necessary leap forward it's going to need to eventually reach "contender" status. So again, not good.

Whatever. With Houston faltering, it seems like it's a fifty-fifty proposition at this point. If they make it in I'll root for them to win of course, but unless Vonleh morphs into a bonafide star in a year or two, I wonder if we won't look back on this season and find it just a little bitter-sweet?
 
Doubt it. Unless the unlikely event that a future all-nba player ends up getting drafted late in the lottery next year.

Damian Lillard is trash. Lillard is a inefficient chucking scrub. CJ McCollum might be one of the worst defenders at the SG position in the NBA. CJ McCollum is a fraud. The Blazers are mediocre. Blazer fans may not want to admit it, but you know it is the truth. You are now officially the western conference's new treadmill team. Congrats. Tonight will be light work for the Warriors. Steph Curry is the best guard since Michael Jordan. Curry is averaging 29.8 points per game on 68.2 percent true shooting on fewer shot attempts than Jordan while playing 33.8 minutes per game. Michael Jordan's highest true shooting mark was 61.4 percent, back in 1989 when he averaged 32.5 points per game in 40.2 MPG. Curry is scoring at Jordan's rate but far more efficiently. Keep in mind, the league average in true shooting was identical then to what it is now. You can't argue with the fact that Curry is scoring more efficiently than MJ ever did. With 30 games left in the season, Steph's PER is 32.19 . The highest PER in a single season in NBA history is 31.82 by Wilt. Steph is also on pace to break the record for highest WS/48 for a single season. The Warriors dynasty is just getting started with a young core that includes Steph (age 27 making $11M a year through the 2016-2017 season), Klay (Age 25 who signed a long term contract for less than his true max), Draymond (age 25 who signed a long term contract for $11.1M below his max), Barnes (Age 23- at a premium season ticket holder event 3 days ago Joe Lacob, Kirk Lacob, and Bob Myers told attendees[myself included] that Barnes would be brought back next season and signed to a long term contract no matter what), Ezeli (Age 26- at a premium season ticket holder event 3 days ago Joe Lacob, Kirk Lacob, and Bob Myers told attendees[myself included] that Ezeli would be brought back next season and signed to a long term contract no matter what). The Warriors organization is so great because they hold these premium season ticket holder events after the renewal date, and allow premium season ticket holders to ask team executives direct questions. We also have super vets in Iguodala, Livingston (making only $5M this season, and $5M next season as well), and Bogut locked up until the end of the 2016-2017 season. Along with deep bench depth with Barbosa, Rush, Speights, Clark, JMM, and Looney. We even have Jason Thompson's non-guaranteed $7M 2016-2017 contract we will waive before August, and have removed completely from our books. Kiss the ring. Enjoy the Warriors championship dynasty. The Warriors are the NBA's 4th great dynasty. The Russell Celtics, the Showtime Lakers, the MJ Bulls, and now the Warriors. You can make the 9 hour drive to the Bay every June to see our parades. It will be something nice to keep your mind off the pathetic Portland Trailblazers.
