"The Golden State Warriors guard lobbed a massive pile of shade at LeBron James (and/or the Cleveland Cavaliers) when reminded of the Cavaliers' 2016 Halloween party that featured Thompson and Steph Curry on tombstone cookies.

"Oh, yeah. Ha!" Thompson told Anthony Slater of The Athletic. "That was funny. Look how that turned out. Psssh. Bums. That was crazy. I forgot about that. Well, look at what pettiness gets you. Gets you 1-8 in the Finals. Idiots."

Lmao "yeah we signed KD what a bunch of losers"

The cookies were an incredibly mild dig, and as far as I'm concerned, winning our region's one title across all sports in 52 years gives us essentially infinite sore-winner points - and no, the Warriors "40 years of being lovable losers" in one sport, which included many playoff appearances and many other Bay Area championships, and was preceded by three franchise championships, is not the same thing.

GSW best writers are asking those questions about three weeks early. That organization’s rivalry is with LeBron James, not with the Cavs. That’s how history will remember it, at least.

DeAndre Jordan has been awesome this year. Normally considered just an empty stats guy, he's definitely not been that this year.

So Fultz was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome. I find it hard to believe it took 2 years to come to that conclusion so am rather skeptical whether its just a cover up as it has some pretty obvious symptoms.

Oh i cant wait til something bad happens to these bastards. Injuries, someone leaves, anything. This shit has went on way too long. Ok, they are a great, great team, but show some class. Take the high road. God damn. After that article i think i do want the Lakers to build a jugernaut and beat their ass. Unbelievable.

I knew you'd come around bro

Those pompous pricks really unite basically everyone against them. They lost their one equal matchup against the Cavs. They have three of the emptiest rings in NBA history and deep down I think they all know it. They blew the only 3-1 lead in NBA history. It's why they're still bitching and spouting off 2.5 years later. To be completely honest, I think they'd trade their 3 rings for the Cavs' 1 ring. That one actually means something. Theirs don't mean shit.

Idk how there are some that would want warriors to beat the lakers just to spite Lebron. I’d rather it be a Lakers vs Celtics finals than have to see those warrior c*nts ever again

I would 100% root for the Warriors to demolish the Lakers, and it has nothing to do with LeBron. Lakers fans are the absolute worst; they should rot in basketball purgatory for all time.

A misdiagnosed ankle injury is what ruined Grant Hill's career so it's not that far fetched that it could have been missed since it's a nerve issue

Also clips of Fultz having weird spastic reactions exist

Well it is very confusing for me. One of the first things we are taught to consider whenever someone has a shoulder/arm complaint is to rule out cervical spine or nerve involvement. It must just be a super unique case of it or they were one eyed to their original diagnosis.

Am i the only one who really hates the 76ers? I always root for them to lose.

Why riot for them to lose ? Don’t they just lose by default ?

Two things...1) LBJ is still the best and is going to drag the Lakers to the WCF....2) Do the Lakers play all 82 games at home?

He is still the best. I was just thinking about their home schedule last night. Their schedule has been super easy lately. They have some tougher games coming up. Seems like they have played the Spurs 8 times at home already. I still think they are a middle of the pack Western Conference Playoff team but we shall see.

Exactly. PBS Logo Face is still mad over choking 3-1 and not even calling in the cheat code to make sure you can't lose to LeBron and Kyrie again can shut him up.

I don't care what the Golden Piss apologists say: Donkeylips being on the court wasn't going to stop the inevitable. And LeBron didn't lobby for shit; the NBA knew they had been treating him with privilege up until that point. He should have been suspended from the OKC series. He's about a season away from becoming a complete non-factor. Maybe if they didn't have Steph for multiple games in the finals they could say something. After all, that's how they ALMOST lost in the playoffs last season.

Never forget they choked a 3-1 Finals lead and lost at home.
Never forget the Undisputed MVP threw a tantrum for actually having fouls called on him and got ejected.
Never forget that not only did they have to call in KD to beat LeBron and Kyrie, but they almost lost to LeBron and Delly.


I never thought I'd hate a team more than the Cheatriots and the Heat(riots) but here we are

All of you who disagree are clearly forgetting about #FutureLaker and the worst people in the world, Kobe stans.
