Postgame thread: Warriors barely hold on to beat the comeback Bulls
It took a Draymond 3 to win it, yes, a Dray Trey
All wins count the same in the standings.

Are their any real threats in the East outside of Bos & Mil? I like Cleveland, but they need another year or two to grow. Outside of these, I think the East is a big muddled mess of good/okay teams. We benefited last year by having home court and going up against a team that had been bloodied getting to the Finals. Although it's highly likely that Bos & Mil beat each other up again in the ECF, I think both will have an easier run through the playoffs. And it is very likely that the East will hold the home court this year.
Out West we have Pho, Den, Mem, LAC, GSW with the Pelicans looking pretty scary. The path to the finals in the West looks a little tougher this year, though none of these teams seems nearly as threatening as Bos or Mil. It's tough to gauge where we are in the league right now, as it is the Warrior's way to be playoff ready the night before the playoffs begin. What we do know is that a title this year won't come as easy as last year's and that the team 'today' won't get there. This soup is gonna need more salt. But we have several months to find it.
Since he’s played just a handful of games beyond a college season, it’s still appropriate to look Wiseman’s SCW highlights through the “prospect” lens, and there’s still a lot there to like. Loved the aggression/bravado that we haven’t seen much of; maybe the reps are paying off and he’s comfortable playing without worrying about screwing up.
His combination of size, length and athleticism looks especially enticing we think about guys like Wemby and Chet becoming prominent players in the league. I’m not giving up on him.
