This thread is a Safe space to hate the Warriors

[Am2626]

It's probably been mentioned but I'll post this anyway in case it has not been. This current Warriors team has now lost more games over the year with five playoff losses so far than the '95-'96 Bulls if you include the playoffs. Granted, that Bulls team had a first round matchup that was a best of five series. However, they were never down 3-1 in a playoff series to anyone.

The Bulls were never down in any playoff series that year period. Not even 1-0 or 2-1. We should all be able to put to rest on which team was better. Now let's just enjoy the Warriors destroy Lebron and the Cavs!

you haters need to watch them play. agree that the game is less "physical", but the defensive rotations, the ball movement / passing, and finding the open man, the ball handling and the cutting, are all fun and exciting to see.

you have curry, klay, iggy, green, barbosa, and shaun who can all handle the ball or put the ball on the ground. that is rare.

We know Barbosa, Iggy, Shaun can handle the ball. But, all their cutting, defensive rotations are not some "never been done" thing or something specific to their talent. Many teams can do all that and don't tell me that GS has some special BBIQ to execute those things compared to other teams.

Again, the only thing which separates them from the league is their insane shooting ability especially from Klay and Curry. I know it has looked the opposite in the first 2 games but what Cleveland(with their limited defensive capabilities) has done is take away Klay/Curry which in turn has opened up easy lanes for others.

Substitute Barbosa or Livingston with Etwaun Moore or Delly, things will not change much. If you substitute Klay/Curry with Jimmy/Derrick, then you will see what Barbosa, Shuan, Igoudala cannot do. It is the Curry/Klay shooting effect and Love/Irving/others are not able to recover quickly to cover average NBA players like Barbosa, Livingston etc...

I was rooting hard against the W's in the WCF. I don't consider myself a hate but wanted to see the 96 Bulls CEMENTED as the greatest still. Obviously the W's are right there in the convo now.

That being said the Thunder vs Warriors series was phenomenal to watch!


As for the Finals I think the 2012 Bulls (had Rose not blown his ACL) would be doing a much better job than this Cavs team against these W's.

we're on the same page. i never said GS would be GS even without curry and klay. curry and klay, and how they open up the game and floor allow the above. and it obviously is very unique, as this is a different type of basketball being played given the insane talent pool that they have acquired.

Ah, let 'em have their fun. Although it's not much fun for them, is it? Hasn't been all that fun rooting against LBJ, either, because he hasn't been flopping, charging, and whining. But 2 more games yet to play.

I'm too much of a vindictive asshat to allow for that.

Well Warriors won't have a better percentage record wise than the 96 Bulls now who were 72-10 and 15-3 for 87-13 or .870 winning percentage. Warriors were 73-9 and currently 14-6 for 87-15 and the best they can do is 89-15 which is a .855 percentage

you must've missed the raucous celebration that took place after their last loss to OKC. it was a rager

I finally realized what it is about Curry I don't like-

His wife

She totally lives off his name and thinks she has turned herself into some type of celeb.
NBA players don't do that. You never saw the greats using their wives as mouthpiece for anything. They were taught to shield them from the public and that's still how 99% of sports stars operate.

trying to imagine MJ's wife taking shots at the Knicks in the 90's. He would not allow that to go public.

But not this one. She takes shots at the other team and Sports Illustrated picks this up as a story?
This is really NBA news?

He had a bad enough night as it was but she just makes it worse for him by opening her yap.
I gotta think you lose a some serious respect from other NBA players when your wife acts like this.....possibly even some of your own teammates?

Ayesha makes her own money she's got a cooking show, foods products, etc. so she's not living off Curry's name. Now her and twitter need to take a break tho yeah just post to instagram for a while. It would be funnier for Riley Curry to take shots at the refs.

As far as MJ's wife...she was in it for the money and there was no social media back then.
