Dream Team 4: Golden State Warriors

[bleedwineandgold03]

I don't see why any of those things make a difference.

It's a team going through a tough time trying to figure out how to deal with it. Either they will or they won't, but we've seen this team get just as snippy with each other (LeBron going at Kevin Love via twitter) during tough times too.

Yea but love wasnt a champion you have to account once you accomplish certain things pride,ego will all arise and mold certain individuals. Is not yhe same as trying to figure it out while you havent accomplished shit. When the warriors were on the rise they werent coky they were fun to watch but guess what cockiness entitlement came and now i hate them. Its not how you get the sucess but maintain it. Thats why i admire bron he has maintained it for so long but makes other successfull. Idk when i watch this warriors team they are just a cocky son of a bitches and you can see is not as fun like before.

Exactly. Remember that time the lakers couldn't win titles, because shaq and Kobe didn't get along? Me neither:

If the Warriors continue to implode and waste a season in inner turmoil, it will be interesting to read the reports and learn how it all unraveled. But come June, if they make the Finals this kind of shit will be meaningless. We learned that last year when we were losing games to Brooklyn and Chicago as well as our guys bickering at one another just before reaching the playoffs.

I'm not saying don't enjoy their drama, because it is satisfying considering how high they've always been on themselves - just don't put much stock in it mattering.

At the end of the day, the only thing that truly matters is Durant's health. This stuff is a byproduct of him being out right now and will go away fast if he comes back 100%. But, if he doesn't...it could get ugly.

Tis a shame we don't give a shit about the regular season. If we cared, at this rate, we could easily have caught them for the #1 seed.

Currently there is a 7 game difference, and last I checked, we have had 14 loses since 1/1 and atleast half of those were either winnable, we gave up, or we never showed up.

I know everyone is laughing at the Warriors and we're on this "we've got such a great locker room" kick, but let's remember in the middle of last season the team decided to sabotage their head coach, so..you know. Shit happens.

Hey



















Shut up

You sometimes wonder what is wrong with people.

Yeah. Klay looks super HYPED there.

But really, the only problem I see is that the fan has it wrong. It's not 2-2. It's 3-1.

I think Durant is going to come back and offensively be 80-90%.

What people are failing to realize is that KD's injury is going to directly impact his lateral movement. That means he very well could not be the rim protector that he's been throughout the season.

Truly they don't miss Bogut as much because Durant has been quick enough to recover, and use his 7ft Gumby ass frame to protect the rim. If all the sudden Durant cannot provide that, Draymond Green might berate and alienate Durant & that's never a good chemistry builder.

I have seen Durant in the past go into the shell and disengage similarly to Klay Thompson. If things are not going their way they drift and become very pedestrian. Durant is a finesse player, he's admitted that himself on Bill Simmons podcast, he's blatantly said he's not a force player.



What is going to happen to them when all of our shooters are raining down 3's, and there's a wide open defense for LBJ to come storming through?

See at this precise moment, people underestimate the basketball talents of LeBron James, because he's the greatest passer in the game right now.

Bron's passing has been on another planet, once we get our spacing down there's going to be so many threats on the floor that it's going to be open season for him taking the ball to the hoop, finishing and kicking it out to shooters.

Call me crazy but I'm taking our all around-team vs theirs. We have the single best player in the series, there's no more weight of expectations on LBJ, plus I just prefer our 5 shooter lineups with LBJ to their KD, Steph, Klay lineups.

The Warriors are the favorite again, they added Durant and now they are expected to win. That's a corrosive recipe for a first year team. Them having to re-acclimate to life without Kevin will be a process, then he's suddenly going to get thrusted back in as the best player and upset the balance of the team again.

And also don't forget that LeBron has been knocking the three ball down consistently, something he was terrible at last year.

And please don't forget, the Warriors did not blow a 3-1 lead.
That takes credit away from the Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers ran off three straight, two straight in Oracle, never been done before to cement the greatest championship in the history of the NBA.

I cannot wait for this lineup:

Kyrie
Korver
Swish
Lebron
Love

GSW, or anyone we face will be screwed.

I am calling it our prom night lineup. We are going to be sharp, fun to watch, and at the end of the night everyone we play...is getting F****D!

I know Steph may be the most annoying player in the league, but anyone notice how he celebrates after a run, either by him or one of his teammates? It comes off like he is embarrassed or something....throws his arms up in the air like they won everything then slowly brings them down and kind of cowers. I notice it all the time...happened against Philly - when someone made a layup to take the lead late, he goes a bit too far then realizes there is still a couple m inutes left and they only have a 1 point lead. I can actually see the phoniness through the television.

Then he starts chewing on his mouthpiece and I want to punch his face.

I've noticed this for some time now. I think the actual truest representation of Stephanie's character occurred during game 6 of last years Finals. After his sixth foul he threw his mouthpiece during a tantrum because things finally weren't going his way. He was a grown man acting like a petulant toddler throwing his binky in defiant protest. The new "face of the league" hurling his paci into the crowd and fussing. The first ever unanimous MVP again coming up very small on the biggest stage and hurling a projectile into the stands, striking a fan. Most fraudulent "superstar" in NBA history.
