Hey, how about a fresh round of disrespect for the Warriors? Never mind that there wasn’t one thing to legimately criticize about last season; people around the league continue to voice their skepticism.
NBA.com released its annual general managers’ survey today, and 54 percent of the voters picked Cleveland to win the title, undoubtedly reasoning that Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving will be around for the finish. San Antonio finished second at 25 percent and, get this, only 18 percent picked the Warriors.
That’s the lowest ranking for a defending champion in the survey’s 13-year history.
