Or he could go to Sixers, they trade for Kawhi and that would be a MUCH better teamSoupman wrote:Think about it. Lebron could go to the lakers. Team up with PG. Lakers then package some players with deng's contract and trades them to the hawks,kings,suns,hornets,heat,knicks or grizzlies.They may have enough to sign another difference making FA.

There's the obligatory game recap and congratulating GS for their championship, then moving on to the stuff people actually care about. And this isn't about LeBron being the sexier topic. In fact, I fully believe even if he wasn't a FA next season and there wasn't anything to talk about on his front, GS still wouldn't get any more air time than they have. And that's because there simply isn't anything to talk about when it comes to them. There's no storyline.
Like I said yesterday, everybody lost with KD's move and that includes GS themselves. No champion has mattered less in NBA history. Nobody cares to celebrate them as a team because of the massive gap between them and everybody else. No adversity they overcame. No boost in legacy for anyone on the roster. They remain the definition of hollow/bland/boring whose only significance, frankly, comes from the fact that there's a team out there that can beat LeBron. If LeBron didnt exist, then good lord, I can't even imagine how much more insignificant GS would be.

You're not seeing the nuance of propaganda itself, and yes, this is relevant in this discussion of KD because his "legacy" is constantly debated and an objective footing needs to be established.

The fact that they lost wasn't a part of my claim, only that they were a contender. Again I ask, did a contender ever get an MVP in their prime with only losing their worst starter.

That's exactly my point. "Get over it/who cares if this is unprecedented" as a "fact" is in fact using no facts. It's the illusion of using logic.
And you're actually wrong, the Nazis cited tons of philosophers and bogus history/racist science to build up their claims and their platform.
1) What the Nazis used was definitely not facts. It was pseudo-science and propaganda.
2) What the poster you replied to was saying (in his own reply to 76shots) was that this 73-win team didn't win the title. And yes, that was a fact. They didn't win the title that year they won 73 games.
You are free to dislike Durant or any other player as much as you like but let's not go around ignoring facts or comparing basketball fans to Nazis because they mention those facts. Both distorting facts and comparing basketball fans to Nazis for mentioning those facts is dangerous.

I wish more teams took the Morey approach and raced to load up their teams to try and take them down. Almost all other teams are waiting for the Warriors to fade which to me is a loser's mentality.
