As far as making any "major" moves to try to remake the roster, with 30+ games to go, just has desperation written all over it. Maybe acquire a piece to compliment the group but to move a Love or Kyrie (not that his name has been mentioned) is probably going to take too much time to gel. Acquire a piece and roll with what they've got.

Was surprised to see one of these analysts (think it was Greg Anthony) predictions for the second half. He had the Warriors breaking Chicago's single season win total yet losing to the Cavs in the Finals.

But, I'm my shocked by someone making that prediction.

Road games...@POR, @LAC, @ATL, @MIA, @ORL, @OKC, @LAL, @DAL, @SAS, @MIN, @UTA, @MEM, @SAS

At 48-4, they need to do 24-6 to tie the record and 25-5 to break it. Normally I'd agree, but I think they can literally sleep walk through half the schedule and still be on the verge. That might mean maybe 3-5 games they really have to take it to playoff gear to win. You also have the games with the Spurs late too, which could easily mean the Spurs are resting guys knowing they won't catch the GSW and should have the 2 seed already locked. Their road schedule really isn't that tough at all minus the LAC, OKC and San Antonio games.

There's no way that Spurs team they play to end the year will be playing anyone unless there is a direct seeding or playoff impact to the game.
