GSW blew out the Clippers at the very start of the game.
Actually the Warriors should just have 1 loss for far for the season with that against the Spurs on opening day.
Loss to the Lakers why unnecessary and that loss to the Rockets in 2 OT could have gone either way.
So far so good for them despite critics commenting about how shallow their bench is and their lack of size.
I do recall Miami with the Big 3 in Lbj, Wade and Bosh also didnt have a good bench, a big man and a point guard. They only had Miller, Allen, Battier, Haslem as role player but produced them 4 finals appearances and 2 rings.
With 60 games left for the season, if Kerr can give Mcgee some confidence with more playin time, then they probably have the most athletic big man in the NBA.
Javale Mcgee has the talent, size and length, he can run and sprint the floor better than other big man in the NBA, he can block shots, get rebounds and score in spectalucar dunks as well.

Brader, there's a reason why Javale McGee has played for 4 teams the past 4 years (waived by 2 of those teams) ........ no denying his physical gifts, but he's an absolute nutcase,

Most athletic big man in the NBA ........ Towns, Whiteside, Gobert, D. Jordan, Drummond, Thompson, Turner, Davis (if pegged at center) and a few others would say otherwise.

Tama k but his talent and athleticism is exceptional for a big man.
The teams he played for in the last 4 years arent contenders so absolutely when u're playin for losing teams u're confidence level will be down unlike now he's playin with a winning team and superstar players like Durant, Curry, Thompson and Green.
Now kung pagtyatyagaan lng yn to toughen him up both physically and mentally ok na ok yn.
Hopefully Draymon Green can help Mcgee improve his game.
Against the Clippers i think Mcgee played a nice game.

Yes since everybody's impression is he's just a joke on the basketball court, for sure we'll be cheering and applauding whenever he does something exceptionally right.

McGee will be 30 soon, bigs his age rarely develop anymore, physically ...... Sa case ni McGee, the mental part of his game is his biggest weakness. Sadyang may sinto-sinto itong si McGee.

His recent coaches have been George Karl, Rick Carlisle & Brett Brown ....... Karl & Carlisle are reat coaches, likely HOF when the time comes. When these type of coaches give up on you, it's likely you're a lost cause.

Brett Brown is a Popovich disciple, easily the greatest coach when it comes to player development - when someone from Popovich's coaching tree gives up on you after 6 games, it's likely that you're a lost cause.

Now, he still can be a decent 8th-10th man off the bench, but spot minutes is all he'll probably get (if he even gets it) ....... sa tingin ko, matagal nang lumipas ang pagkakataon para ma-realize ang potential ni McGee.

will it be possible that what mcgee was not able to achieve in 4 different teams can be achieved in just 60 games?

Unlikely to happen brader ........ the need to win and compete in the NBA is absolute - there's little room for nostalgia, good will, name recall when it comes to playing time. NBA players earn their playing time.

Like I said, there's a reason why McGee was waived by his last 2 teams and was just picked-up the last minute by GSW.

He's not a star & he wont be a star ....... pero, baka swertihin at masama sa rotation bilang 8th-10th player off the bench. Play spot minutes, get some rebounds and protect the rim.

The WARRIORS are oozing with superstars, it doesn't need anymore stars, just decent role players who'll play spot minutes.

20 - 3 na GSW.
Still on track for a 70 wins season.
Good contribution by McGee with 6 points 3 rebs against the Jazz.

Okc vs Hou ( Westbrook vs Harden)will be fun to watch on saturday.
Come to think of it OKC had a Super Big 3 in Westbrook, Harden, Durant but wasnt able to hold them together to mature and win a championship.

napanuod ko tambakan ng clips. they were really out of sync defensively. ganda ng ball movement ng gsw. they can't compete for the western conference title kung ganyan ang magiging laro nila.

That's why I really don't think that doc is a great coach. Overrrated for me. Bigay mo yang line up na yan kay pop, philjax or even larry brown sigurado may rings na mga yan. Plus clippers curse eka nga.

Like I said, I am not sold on the Clips. But I didn't expect for them to be losing this early in the regular season.  Every year they always fall apart.

True puros reklamo ang Clippers from coach to players.
Probably Griffin should be traded for a Al Horford.

Lookin back at OKC with Westbrook, Harden, & Durant if D'Antonio was the coach most likely the team will score 150 pts regularly.
Comparatively to all Big 3s in the NBA before till now none is as explosive as them.

Un ang problema ha ha.
They need time to learn how to share the ball, who to lead and who to take the back seats.
Almost all Big 3 combos do average about 70 - 75 points per game nmn.

7th consecutive triple double na si Westbrook but too bad OKC loss to Harden's Rockets.
On Monday he'll be tightly guarded by Avery Bradley when OKC play Boston.

Triple double streak ended for Westbrook against Boston but a win by OKC is all that matters.
Short by 4 assists for another triple double was understandable with Olandipo out on injury limiting Westbrook's passing options to less efficient scorers on the team.

The East is very exciting as teams from 3rd to 8th seed has almost identical win loss records in their 1st 25 games. Knicks suddenly rose to 3rd spot with Altanta slipping to 9th place.

3rd straight game by Westbrook out of triple double games since Olandipo was sidelined bcoz of injury.
Absolutely no other outside or corner shooters for OKC kya wla syang mapasahan unlike Harden at Houston where he has Ariza, Gordon and Anderson as long range bombers.

After they lost Durant and traded Ibaka for Olandipo, i though they will chase Al Horford to play the stretch 4 for them.
Kulang sa outside shooters un OKC.
