It really is hilarious to read.

My God now they've really lost it. You look at the Warriors team and hate it more and more after every game, but then you log on to RealGM and realize their fans might be worse.

Was this on the GB? Bet that got the hammer brought down mighty quick.

Dubs fans most places are split between "excellent" and "not very good at all". With not much middle ground. Generally splits on pre-2015 and post-2015 lines, though not always.

The bandwagon gets really bad.

Yes that was. They are out of control.

Agree on the old fans vs new fans thing. The new ones are very hungry : they want to win, they want to be the victims, they complain about the refs all the time (lol) and think it's great to celebrate a win when your opponent lose a top 5 player.

I never thought I would root so much for Lebron and the cavs than this year...

Yeah, Coxy on the GB. floopymoose or whatever his name is also told everybody who tinks Zaza's play was dirty to go suck a dick.

The Warriors team loves to play the victims. And now the fans have adopted that tenfold.

So much love for Popovich. Thought he wasn't going to speak out.

Who are we hoping wins the lottery?

I'd be happy if any of the Knicks, Magic, Suns win. For comedic purposes it'd be fitting for the Kings to finally get into the top 3, and then have to swap that pick thanks to Vivek and Vlade.

Oh and here's to hoping the Lakers fall out of the top 3 and thus lose their 2019 pick too, but we know there's no way the league lets that happen.

I'd like to see NOLA get Ball or Fultz to play with Davis and Cousins and it would mean the Kings don't get their pick until next year which would likely not be a lottery pick. The Kings "winning" would be entertaining. The Lakers pick ending up 4th would be great.

I don't know if the Pelicans terrible FO should be rewarded for the Kings' FO being even worse.

Looks like taking out Leonard was worth it.

I hope this upcoming finals is legendary, because these playoffs have been so underwhelming.

I'm not even bothering. I've watched two games since we got eliminated. Just don't care.

I have to write about it from the GSW perspective and it's driving me up the wall.

I literally wrote "rest Curry, Durant and Green for the next round" in the last recap.

Has Mayweather ever made anyone look like a fool? He'll win easily of course, but it's unlikely he knocks him out. If they did an mma event it would be More hilariously one sided.

Kind of what I meant. He's not a knockout artist, he'll just make McGregor chase him around.

Has he always been such a condescending **** or is he just playing yet another persona?

He's been fake tough since his mvp season. I said last year I missed the guy he was before he blew up. A lot more entitled now for sure.

I can't quite figure out if everything is just an act with him or if we have indeed seen the 'real Kevin Durant' once upon a time...

GSW will have to have to think long & hard about keeping Klay in 2-3 years. He might leave one way or another. They'll want to keep Draymond more but he might consider going elsewhere. The prime GSW overlaps with the still strong enough LeBron window. Next 3 titles probably split between them and one team will be disappointed in getting only one or none.
