NBA 2K16 simulation sees Warriors over Cavs again to repeat
The issue is, was he the most valuable?
“I think most of the time, the team that wins the championship is the healthiest team”.
Gentry was the Warriors associate head coach last season and is now the head coach in New Orleans. “We talk about it a lot”.
At this time past year, nearly no one outside the organization considered the Warriors to be playoff material let alone a championship contender. It also gives worldwide fans a way to feel more involved in the game – fans that likely won’t find themselves attending a National Basketball Association game any time soon.
Asked how much the Warriors will miss Kerr, Smith said, “Oh, it’s going to hurt”. “So I like it that way”. It seems like every year, any team in the West is more than capable of winning it all. Curry even broke character and offered a mock apology for the Warriors’ good fortunes. OKC will enter the season as the deepest team in the Western Conference, laced with both superstars and adequate depth. Had they all been fit, the finals would have definitely been a different story. Rockets guard James Harden continues to believe he deserved the MVP award that Curry won. We’re going to have fun. “They don’t have the luxury of being a sixth seed”, he said. They’re confident that can happen after Green, Leandro Barbosa and Marreese Speights were brought back to keep the continuity.
If you recall, Cleveland eliminated Chicago in six games in last year’s Eastern Conference Semifinals.
“We know what it takes”.
Representatives of the three other Warriors championship teams will be in attendance – Rick Barry for 1975, Walt Davis of the ’56 Philadelphia Warriors and Howie Dallmar Jr., son of the late 1947 titlist Howie Dallmar. “We didn’t have a good experience game two of the Memphis series after my MVP thing so hopefully we learned how to quickly get our engines back going”. “You’ve got a big bull’s-eye on your back, and everybody’s coming for you”.
Interim coach Luke Walton will lead the way for the opener, with Kerr’s timetable for returning still unclear.
“Players always tell us how they get better by repeating certain situations”, Silver said. “I thought, ‘This is new, this is nice.’ He’s maturing, he’s arrived, he gets it and I don’t know what else you can ask from him”. The Warriors will look to defend what was their first title in 40 years and will once again be counting on the likes of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson to fire them to the finals. Players have said they like the fact that he has simplified the scheme in an effort to improve communication, minimize confusion and allow players to emphasize using their athleticism and technique to execute close-outs and rotations.
