    yes they used curry as an attention grabber, but that involves him getting touches on almost every possession. Youre right Curry doesnt dominate the ball quite like Lebron. However, They are a much better team when Curry is running the half court offense, instead of Klay. I really dont see Klay thompson improving alot as a passer, and i dont see green taking a jump in ppg. ESPECIALLY for the reasons you mentioned, they share the offensive load very well. teams that have a big 3 with real high ppg are not teams that the scoring is going to be as spread out for. You have to realize Klay thompsons hot like 44 pct last season. Do you really see him shooting 50 percent and scoring 20ppg? Seems illogical to me. GSW must be your home town or somthing lol. Theyre a great team, but Klay thompsons not going to become the next best sg in the NBA, I mean he might, but i really doubt it . Sure theyre going to improve, so is everyone else, but you have to notice theirs a ceiling to improvement. If he scores more it takes away from someone else. They scored 110 ppg (the highest in the league), at i think 45 percent? Which is also number one in the NBA. Would be nice for gsw fans to see them turn into the best team in the last 15 years, but i just don't see it. Theres to much talent in the league for them to just simply run through the league and become an unbeatable dynasty. Thats what would happen if Green and Klay saw marked improvements, and became the best trio of players in the NBA. Just because someone is really good, and young, doesnt always mean theyre going to get better. This isnt nba2k15 where your stats just improve every season since you buy them with VC. its very hard to improve in the NBA, and saying that both of them will get that much better is a longshot.

      Yes, I live and grew up in the bay area haha. It was a big deal for them to win. Btw, Barnes is their third option, not Green. But you are right, I do not know if these players will put in the work to get better. They do have Curry as their leader, who naturally is one of the hardest working players in the leauge, so we shall see.

However, there is not much room for improvement in either of those guys, unless you're saying Klay thompson will shoot a higher pct than curry, and score 20+ ppg a game, and draymond green, already avg a double double. I don't see them improving much more. Merely because there's not much room for improvement. Curry is their number 1 option, so its hard to see their ppg going up. and if it did that might not be good for the team. They're definatly contenders, but you have to remember the Cavs they played in the finals were worse than the old cavs before lebron went to miami. They're the favorite though. Not taking much of a leap there, defending nba champs are the favorite. who woulda thunk.

        I'm going to take a leap and say the Hawks are going to win, because i'm biased and stupid. In reality they're going to be the 4-5 seed in the East, but whatever. Dream big! Hawks Dynasty starts October 27th. The Pistons will be our first victim

        Oh yeah you're crazy if you think the hawks is gonna win the east.... They got murdered by the cavs... Listen they were good last year but, I dont see them doing shit.. Didn't they just lose Demare Carroll Or something? Jeff Teague is good but, he's not elite... Millsap is inconsistent, Horford is damn near garbage...

        Im only gonna see Korver do his thing from the 3 point line and Shroder Coming off the bench doing work.

        The hawks had the best record in the east last season, I honestly don't see them doing that again.

          Nah I mean i read it but i was shooting down your ambition.... Like felix shoots down mine when I tell him Heat are gonna win the east lmfao..

          But nah I like your confidence, Hawks suprised many last year wouldn't be shocked if they could do it again..

          haha im just riding it as long as i can kev. Ive been a hawks fan for so long, and theyve been so bad for so long. Last season is the high point in my NBA watching life. I was to young for Wilkins, and Steve Smith.

                If you watched ur GSW last playoffs, you should know that all the starting PG on opposing teams were either injured or got injured in the series. You should remember, GSW were a complete team while Cavs were depleted and all other players xcept Lebron and Delly (Games 2 and 3) stepped up. The stars aligned for GSW last season, SA and Clips got eliminated and Houston was a cat walk for GSW cause they're shooters. If Kyrie didnt get injured the series woulda went to 7 games going to either side.

                  Atlanta Hawks.. sigh why cant yall make it to the finals, but at the moment I have a San Antonio vs Cavs in the finals and I have SA winning it, nothing on Lebron, hes the best player in the universe but SA has a deep depth, Kwanai Lenord is one of the only men on the world that can slow Lebron Down, Tony Parker vs Kyrie will be exciting, but I think what will determine it is, down low, and Duncan is really old but.. man had one of his best seasons last year, so he still got a little motor and then they got Aldraige.. vs Love?? Im sorry, Love is a good player, top 5 PF in the game atm but... Hes not stopping that man Lamarcus and yes Kevin Love streches the floor but who cares because Duncan is still in the paint so its gonna be great to see if other teams emerges like the Miami Heat or the deep west but yeah.

                      They had Love in the Regular Season and it was bumpy, he wants the ball more in his hands, and my boy Tristian Thompson wants his money and wants minutes since he plays big time. Just going to be turmoil

                          There is no easy road in the NBA. How many times are you going to repeat saying this?

                            Did you watch the playoffs? No SA, they didnt meet Clippers, should have played OKC instead of Pelicans and the starting PG's getting injured. Idk how you can still not see that this was their destined year.
