Golden State Warriors Talk | Page 46

I don't really follow basketball at all, I mean I've watched the playoffs every now and then when the Warriors or Kings are in, but that's about it. So, I'm curious about this stuff I'm reading that says the Warriors are intentionally tanking this year.

Is this true? And if so, why?

It's not true. If it were - it would be to draft the center Wiseman.

Let's try to break this down for you.

How good do you think the Lakers would be if Lebron played 4 games, Anthony Davis played none, their 3rd best player played half the games, their 4th best player played about 1/3 of the games, Dwight Howard played 6 total games, and the Lakers were forced to play with 8-9 total players for an extended stretch?

This is a non-basketball fan. So this may not make sense. Picture this - how would the Niners be without Garrapolo, Kittle, Bosa, all of our offensive line, no footballs to play with, and to fill the voids you hired the local community college kids to play instead.
