Is it Over?

The Warriors

It has become very evident even if it wasn't before that this is Curry's team.  Without him even with their outstanding talent they are a playoff team but not a championship team. Curry is already hurt and it is expected he will out for a couple more weeks which was unexpected.  When the coach tried to explain the reason for the extended time, he forgot to mention that he is over 30 years of age.  He missed many games last year and this will not be his last injury this season.  He has to stay healthy when the season really begins with the playoffs for the Warriors to have any chance.

The big news of the week was the Green-Durant blow-up before the overtime of the Clippers game. From watching the Houston game it looks like they are talking and communicating on the floor.  At least for the moment the distraction has been neutralized.  The problem will linger and its anybody guess with such a long season, what effect it will have on the teams play.

The question remains--- Is it over for the Warriors?


The Giants

The Giants new head of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi certainly has the resume to be very successful in his new job.  As we have detailed in the past it will not be easy with so many overpaid players and no trade contracts.

All the players will be evaluated using Zaidi's system so many might be saying to themselves, Is it over for me?  The answer is most likely yes in good number of cases, but it will take a season or two to complete the weeding.  I look for the Giants to make a big trade soon with some surprising and  unexpected names gone before Santa Claus arrives.


The 49ers

It's been over for the 49ers since #10 went down with season ending injury.  The season has turned out to be very disappointing with so many of us having high expectations.   What is disheartening is the fact that many players have not lived up to expectations.  It easy to use the injury to #10 as an excuse, but realistically they were not a playoff talented team.
