I expect Golden State to be factor again this season. Chris Paul's act seems to wear thin after awhile, but he always seems to give his new team an initial jolt in the first season. I realize we're talking about a 38 year old CP3 at this point, so maybe not quite the impact he's had historically. Poole being gone I think is addition by subtraction. His ego, and the contract that was fueling it, was ruffling feathers. I think it will be a combination of teamwide health and whether Wiggins can displace Klay as the 2nd best scorer on the team that will determine how far they go. I'll add another caveat....Klay needs to settle in as a third option and play within himself.
