Lebron's a bit of prima donna b*tch. He seems to go out of his way to make disliking him easier. Also, I like how that extra motivation disappeared as soon as the finals were over.

Yep.

And Dray Green is really unlikeable.

He started the season with so many supporters, but he just. Keeps. Talking. It's so annoying when you want to like a guy but they can't get out of their own way. If Green was on the Spurs he'd be a fan favorite after Pop beat the talk out of him.

I find the circle fascinating. Everyone loves the team, the team succeeds, everyone hates the team. And on....poor Anthony Davis, its coming.

I just don't understand why Green doesn't shup up for once. He isn't nearly as good as he had to be to be constantly talking about other teams and players. I get a strong Lance Stephenson vibe and just for hatin's sake I hope we get a Stephenson 2.0.

This has officially turned into the 2015-2016 haters thread :lol:

F*ck Patrick Beverley.

Screw everyone not in a Thunder jersey.

(OK, well I kinda like some other guys, Boogie and Jimmy Butler are personal faves, and there's just some teams I can't hate on like the Bucks).

Watch out for the Celtics. Good coach, good young talent and money to spend in the off-season.

I'm iffy on Boston, I like Smart (which is a weird coincidence b/c I'm in no way connected to him via OSU and just happen to be a fan of the NBA team from the same state), but don't really have anyone else I particularly like on the team other than the coach. I'm admittedly a secondary Pacers fan (hence the sig, once was a big Reggie Miller fan), and like the Bucks and Kings too (Bucks fans are awesome on here if you ever check their board out, they even started the Save Our Bucks site).

I love Paul George and the Spurs. I hope Gianni's Antetekempou becomes a superstar. Most of all I root for small market clubs in general.

Post #14 » by **bondom34** » Sun Jun 21, 2015 12:52 am

Yep, same. I don't think there's really a small market team I dislike off the top of my head, good call.

Man, Warriors fans are such an unlikeable bunch sometimes.

Injuries don't matter. You know? :roll:

Don't try to tell them anything is what I've learned. Tried to say that their whole season was a little overbearing in coverage, was told I'm wrong and they deserve it. OK then.....I really hope they become the bad guy, and think it may be starting.

Warriors are going to be around for a while. They are very good and should be able to keep that core together for a while. Yes, there were some injuries that made things easier, but don't pretend that they are not a worthy championship team. They are the team that worries me going forward even with a healthy Thunder team. The Rockets, Grizzles, Clippers and whoever else you want to throw out there in the West doesn't concern me the way the Warriors do in a seven game series.

Post #18 » by **bondom34** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 2:43 pm

Oh, they certainly will be barring losing a free agent or 2, but they weren't above all reproach the way they'd like to make it seem. They're certainly a worry in the future, and along w/ OKC assuming KD stays are the top contender in the west to me.

Pillendreher · Post #19 » by **Pillendreher** » Mon Jun 22, 2015 2:47 pm

They don't really worry me. I've never seen anything like this "good-luck-run" by the Warriors. It is literally unheard of to have this kind of luck throughout a whole season including and especially the playoffs. Yeah, they have a nice core, but it really annoys me that people talk about them like they are historically great. They simply aren't and pointing out stats just shows that the person making that argument doesn't care about the opposing teams. Take this season's thunder team without injuries and give them the same road in the playoffs. They would have dominated those teams, something the Warriors didn't do.

People are comparing Curry to Bird! Are you frigging kidding me?!

I'm in a debate over Dray Green being a top 5-10 player. Better than Westbrook....I accept that I'm biased, but man there's no basis there for me.
