Booker out for the next 2 games, so hope Pelicans take advantage and go up 3-1. Chris Paul can obviously beat the Pelicans anyway, but you never know for sure.
They are saying now 2-3 weeks. Golden opportunity for the pelicans.
If he's not coming back till December then I think you might as well write off this season for GSW. No one comes back and is on fire straight away after two years off. It's probably going to take him the rest of the season to get the rust off, and that's assuming he makes a full recovery. If he ends up being say 75% of what he was, then GSW is done as a contender IMO. So much of what they do revolves around the fact that they have TWO HOF shooters that you have to account for. Steph alone cannot carry this team to a chip.
Yeah that didnt age well...or did it? No, I was dead wrong, the Warriors could win without a fully healthy Klay, but I think I was right in saying that he wouldnt be back to the Klay of old. He wasnt even close. What I couldnt predict was that the Warriors would have Poole and Wiggins step up to replace his production on both sides of the ball. Those two are why the Warriors were able to win even with Klay not being 100 per cent. And this is why I'm hearing rumblings that the Warriors are worried about their salaries being too far over the cap and they have to resign a lot of people, including Poole and Wiggins. They better hurry up and resign both if they want to repeat as champs.

IMO, GSW has 2-4 years of prime years from the vets, i.e Steph, Klay, Draymond, for this squad before they may have to retool. However, they have the kids ready to step up and some vets that can lead the way, i.e. Wiggins, Looney, that can continue the "Warriors way" of doing things. This squad has been very good in drafting and picking up players that fit their mode. They are a well oiled machine. They could repeat or at least win it all one more time. I can't find my earlier posting but I said at the beginning of the season that they were loaded. Wasn't sure they could pull it off but they did. They could really dominate if Wiseman comes back healthy. He's the athletic, big man they never had during their run.

I got this one very wrong as well...bet against them every step of the way. In my case, I didn't realize how well the complimentary parts, especially Wiggins, would contribute in the playoffs or how good their team defense was going to be.
