I must admit a KD-less Warriors team is alot more fun to watch. Draymond calling up KD crying will come down as the weakest move in league history.

Curry plays like the best player in the NBA when Durant is gone, When Durant is playing, Curry missed like 15 layups in that Rockets series? Is Durant a **** for Curry or something? Weird but I think it's a sign Durant needs to hit the road.

I'll get flamed for this but I hate how much attention is being paid to Curry's parents this series. Like yeah put the camera on them once during the game to acknowledge them or get a reaction but I don't give a damn about seeing them after every made Curry field goal.

I'm happy for the Curry brothers but all this spotlight on their parents is taking away from the actual series. The coin-flip story, which son is their favourite, stories about their upbringing, all of this DURING the game non-stop.

I'm trying to watch basketball not a documentary about the Curry family.

Just about everyone is sick of it (I think.)

I'm torn - I agree with this in general, but I also love seeing Sonya Curry on my TV. Such a dilemma....

Yes they were probably 3rd best team in the league last year, but they are absolutely trash this season and their regular season record shows it
It took all the ISO chucking from James Harden to get them anywhere this year
They just match up Warriors better than any other teams,that's about it
They would have lost to Cavs last year or any other top 4 East teams this year

If they couldn''t even get the 2nd seed, they are no better than both Denver and Portland
They couldn't even take advantage in G5 and G6 without KD :lol:


Houston was easily the 2nd best team last year.

I agree they were worse this year...probably at best the #4 team in the league (#3 if you are being really, really generous).

What it really shows is that the West is weak outside of GS. Like really weak this year.

It's more like the NBA is weak outside of GS.

remember when the rockets were down 0-2 and everyone said pretty much a warriors in 5 or possible sweep. we're in the same situation here again. don't count the blazers completely out yet.
