Who's the biggest loss from last season?

Favors, no brainer, if he could replace Ed it would be a 50% better bench, he would be much better both on defense and offense. I am pretty sure he would accept coming of the bench to be able to stay with this team.
 
I can't say Favors. Bogdanovic has been great and you can only have Fave back as the starting 4.

I would probably go with Neto or Crowder but we actually need wings on bench unit. Kinda makes me wonder if Kidd would get a chance with the Conley injury.

favors getting all the backup 4 and 5 minutes and being injury insurance would solve a bulk of the team’s problems
 
Call me crazy but I think Rubio is biggest loss. Despite his bad 3pt shooting he knew how to run our offense and was way better defender than Conley. And I have yet to see that effort and hustle from Conley what Ricky was giving on every single night.
 
The consensus at this point is that we have not melded into the team we were last season. But what is the biggest loss from 2018 to 2019?

You mean the team that was 13-15 at this point last year, was below .500 until January, lost to Dallas 118-68 and got clobbered in the first round of the playoffs, that team?

The Rockets were the #2 seed last year, right? Or the second best team in the west if not by seed. All last year it was between the rockets and warriors for who’d come out of the west. Likewise, its between the 2 LA teams this year. You don’t think we’d be clobbered by the Kawhi’s Clippers or Lebron’s Lakers in the first round this year? Lol ohhhhkkkaaayyy...

They were the 4 seed and we were the 5 seed.
 
I think judging this season’s progress by comparing this team’s record to last year’s record at this time is dumb. Especially when you consider this team’s habits, strengths and weaknesses, and trends.

this team has no 4 and no one but Gobert rebounds. That’s going to be a huge problem come playoff time.

this team has no bench. Conley appears to be often injured and missing his shot. Jingles is only effective in a starting role.

the trends of starters playing big mins, the ball not moving around, and Rudy having to rebound everything is a scary trend to me. If Rudy goes down we literally are playing 3 on 5. Ed Davis makes Udoh look like Dream.

Remember when our offense was actually enjoyable to watch? Good times


this healthy warriors team would destroy us by 30 if we played now (and if we were healthy). Mitchell and Bogie would Chuck 60 shots each. Conley would shoot 1-10 from the 3 pt line and give up 40 to Steph. Snyder would play 3/5 of the starters the whole way. Ed Davis, Niang, and Mudiay would put triple digit negative numbers out there.

Rockets were arguably the runner up for a title in the last two seasons. Raptors would not have beaten the Warriors had Klay/KD not gotten hurt. likewise they would not be able to outmatch a fully healthy Rockets team. So losing to the Rockets in the playoffs is not indicative of anything. In fact, we'd make a deep run all the way into the Western Conference finals last year have we been placed in the lower half of the playoff bracket along with teams like spurs, blazers, nuggets etc.

and don't underrate Dallas either. they just beat Milwaukee and sixers, the two teams that smoked us, without their best player in Luka. Dallas is simply a better team than us all around. doesn't matter if it's rotation depth or star power.
