Durant should be embarrassed for perpetuity for signing with the Warriors.
Phenomenal baller. Beta.
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Watching Houston vs GSW makes me fully grasp how all those people who are saying that Kyrie doesn't add non-replaceable value to this team (and by implication that he can be replaced by Rozier) are absolutely full of sh**.

They don't actually understand how good this Warriors team is and how good Kyrie is. And why he has GSW's respect.

The Rockets just aren’t that talented after CP3,Harden and Capela.

Dubs in 4 - 5 max. Never for even 1 second did i believe they were legit contenders or a threat to take down GS. They need Bron to beat them.

GS looks tough no doubt. Doubt they'd score against us so easily. They'd have to make their 3's.

CC's not that talented either. Good defender, rebounder playing along side 2 elite passers.

I think we'd have a shot against the Rockets, but unfortunately, they don't have a shot against Golden State.

I never believed in this Rockets team for one second but I really wanted them to do the impossible.

Rockets were never in the same league as this Warriors team. To be fair, no team is.

Until next year ;)

They don't have the defense like the Celtics do.

I think the only team that beats the dubs by just adding Lebron is a healthy celtics team. As offensive as that sounds :P

Otherwise I think there would need to be a Kawhi/Lebron team up in Philly or somewhere

You cannot outgun the Warriors.

Curry only scored 18 points and the other team was clearly outmatched. Let that sink in.

Yeah i was just rethinking what i said lol. Plus their system is no match vs the Dubs system. Celtics system is similar which is why we've been a handful when we've played them and our defense is better.

Homer take. We can make it extremely difficult for the Warriors with our defense. We won't win, but we can make it difficult for them.

Fighting offense with offense is not the way to go. And the Warriors are also and extremely good defensive team.

You know whats going to be hilazing is when Semi puts a lid on Durant and slams it shut while Smart eats Curry's mcnuggets no sauce, Jaylen turns Klay to stone and Horfie holds down Dray in the half nelson pose

then we just need Jaytums to average 45 the series and we're good
