2025 NBA Season

They were great because Draymond was there, but you have to remember that Draymond is injured and without him, the defensive side of the warriors are a little weak. Wait until Draymond Green will come back and you'll see an old Warriors that are very dominant.

A big plus whenever he is around with a high percentage of winning the game.
Chemistry had been a big factor for the Warriors team to win games with almost a perfect defensive and offensive line and in the middle of it all is Draymond Green.
He handles the ball and no one defends him like how they defend Steph, he is literally always open that's why his field of vision in making plays is wide. Same with his defensive stance, even big men are having a hard time with him and he talks a lot to keep everyone in line. If I am right, he will be back after the All-Star and we will see a different Warriors again.

I think the Warriors have adjusted their defense in the absence of Green. Everyone has really helping each other in the middle. Of course it's different when you have Draymond in the game because of his intensity and presence. But they were able to do some work around, and just buying some time before he can fully recovered and back in the line up again.

They have to and they really made an adjustment, however, they are still better defensively with Draymond Green. I expect some inconsistency from them until Draymond is back, their defense will be their make key problem, but that would be overshadowed by their good offense as they got Klay Thompson already who sometimes lead the team to win.

This shows how the Warriors are malleable and can adapt to certain difficulties, which in this case was the absence of Green.

Of course, with Draymond Green in the team it is a differential, but without him GSW managed to act and obtain some important victories.

In attack I have no doubt that GSW has improved, because with Thompson's return he gave the team a new spirit and strength, because although he returned for a short time, he is making a big difference in the team, especially in attack!!

I actually don't like Harden too much, his game style is not for me but I am super excited about his trade. Embid is an amazing player and Sixers were doing all right this year. 34-22 is not bad for them which is their standing before the trade. With a motivated Harden they might be the biggest threat on the east. Let's see his adjustment period. I guess he will play tomorrow against the Celtics. I will watch and see his performance.

It is, of course, very early but I am super excited about the playoffs this year. Especially in the east, competition will be fierce.

Warriors are near unstoppable in this season. Maybe they are not better than their season which they broke a huge record in by 72 wins and 9 losses in the regular season if I'm not mistaken. But they are still near it actually. Because they have Klay Thompson back finally after a protracted injury. And he has started showing an impressive performance lately. We saw one of its examples against Lakers as he scored more than 30 points. And tonight, he might perform near this again and this would be a big help for the team to beat Clippers.

I hope that injury would not make the strong team suffer, Nets and 76ers should be all healthy in the playoffs so we will see the best playoffs, better than last year of the course. Nets now are in trouble as they are in a long losing streak already, however, I am confident that they will qualify in the playoffs as eventually Durant will come back and they'll be a strong team once again.

I'm also waiting for Simmons debut with the Nets, the team badly need someone who could help Irving at the moment.

Near unstopable doesn't suit them right now. When you say something like that then it means they don't struggle against most of their opponents and that's not the case. Klay may be back to his scoring best but that doesn't surprise other teams anymore.

Well, I confess... the Golden State Warriors this season is surprising me!

I would never have imagined a team without Thompson, Durant and Curry (playing below the performance that was champion/mvp of the season) managed to be in 2nd place, behind only the Suns (with a little difference).

Although the Suns is another team that is catching my attention for the strong performance they are having!

Let's see how these teams will behave in the playoffs, especially Warriors and Suns.
Because with the return of Klay Thompson to the Warriors, it will make the team more dangerous!

There might be teams that are unstoppable this season but it's different when playoffs come. I still don't see the Golden State Warriors will able to take home the chip as the situation is different from before. There are lots of competitive teams in both Eastern and Western Conference now. Their current standing is good but when a game series started where they will only against one team at each round, things might be different.

It's good that Klay Thompson is now regaining his original form. We aren't just sure if that will be consistent as he is still in the adjustment period.

The Sixers are doing great before that trade knowing how Joel Embiid is performing this season. However, those players they shipped out are part of that improvement why they have a good standing currently and can keep up with the competition.

If James Harden will able to cover that hole, they will be dangerous. It's not the first time that the Sixers had several choices as their main scorer. Back in Jimmy Butler's tenure in Sixers, he's the one who always touches the ball and nailing a shot. Not comparable but at least we can have a reference on what thing we can expect from now on.

Let's see if Harden and Embiid duo will be a threat to the competitive Eastern Conference now.

The presence of Draymond Green is really worthy to take note of. Warriors are not the usual Warriors if Draymond is out. He is the best advisor on their team and in fact, he's the one inspiring and gives a boost to their young players.

Once Draymond is back, not just the Warriors' offense but their defense will be more improved too. Good thing that there are Warriors players who are stepping up. Their team is regaining back again to their usual form.

Yes, that performance against the Lakers is something out of expected. He is now getting confident again. I'm sure after that game, he is now more pump and his mindset will be out of any doubts that an injury might happen again. He just has to make sure not to be that much aggressive to avoid injury. The Warriors need him in the Playoffs.

Not just Klay Thompson but we also have to give credit to their teammates who give good contributions too. Without them, Klay's big production is useless.

I'm currently watching Brooklyn Nets vs Sacramento Kings where the Nets have been dominating throughout the games thanks to the effort of the newly acquired players. Andre Drumond and Seth Curry. now the Nets have a big chance to stay in the Playoff tree and just like that they got their first win after a long drought. Still, we need to see the other star players on the court too.

Can't wait to see Kyrie and Ben Simmons playing together, I hope it goes well.

They are only waiting for Durant, Kyrie and Simmons to play and this Nets team might redeem themselves again and reclaim the top spot.
Their main problem really is their inside defense and their frontlines before the trade happen is really weak. Now they got Drummond that can be a good defender and a good rebounder and you got Curry who scored 23 points in his debut game with his new team. Of course his points will be lesser as Durant and Kyrie plays but still he is a perfect pick by the Nets team as he is a good shooter like his brother.

Hoping still that Kyrie will get vaccinated before the playoffs so that he can help his team to win. Now the 11 game losing streak of the Nets has ended.

Kyrie though will be a big issue if he is not going to play, as I read he can only play 8/26 games? (correct me guys if I'm wrong, I can't remember the source). But it's good that they have someone inside dominating like Drummond and then Curry having a good debut and hopefully he will be consistent throughout so that when Durant comes back it will be a different Nets team. But I doubt that they can regain the top spot though, the goal should remain for a play off spot until Durant is back.

[Bttzed03]

Impressive start by Seth Curry on his new team. Good job on Steve for choosing him as starter and giving him a lot of playing time.

I honestly don't want to see this because I don't think the pairing could work long term but I guess it's inevitable. Durant is still out and they have to do something to improve their place in the table. I still prefer Curry on Guard while Simmons on Guard or Forward position.

Impressive performance indeed. Now, this will somehow change my mind that the Nets didn't really win the trade because the sixers got James Harden.
If these both players will become consistently productive for the Brooklyn Nets, then I could definitely say the Nets absolutely win the trade, because 2 is better than 1 or shall I say 3 If Ben Simons fits the Nets system.
All we need to see now is how much Harden fits the Sixer's system and how he looks like in a new uniform. If he's a perfect compliment for Embid and Harris, there will be a huge probability that the Nets and Sixers will battle in the ECF, I'm not underestimating the Champ here, but those 2 teams with a healthy roster could be a great threat to them.

It's been a very good signing for the Nets. They hadn't been able to beat anyone in 11 games and this was very sad for a team like this. Actually, they had very good players, but they couldn't play as they wanted Seth Curry and Drummond will be very influential players for this team. I think this team has a great chance in the playoffs, I wonder how they will finish the season

By numbers it seems that the Nets are the real winner here in the trade. Harden is still not playing yet while the traded players like Seth Curry already prove how they are going to contribute to the Nets. Sure, Harden could be a perfect compliment to Joel and Harris but he also needs to be consistent as we have seen in the last 2 years he is also injury prone so that is a big factor.
