trade klay thompson, draymond green and steph curry to the Nets for 10 unprotected first-rounders, 8 swaps, Cameron johnson, nic claxton and mikal bridges and start the full rebuilding.

Lmao, nobody is trading Steph. Draymond likely opts out to be with his BFF LeBron and Klay or Poole might get traded. Retool, not rebuild.

Last run for the core trio being together but you can still build a team with Steph.

No, it’s over. You don’t build around a 35 year old.

When will we learn? Nothing is truly over with the Warriors until it is really over. They are an explosive team and are borderline unbeatable at home. I won't count on anything until it actually says eliminated next to their name.

The most lucky, flukiest team in nba history.

Injuries to opponents, a player that swears at refs and nut kicks players often without consequence and the most disgraceful run of moving screens ever.

The league wanted a golden boy and simply created it out of nothing.

Curry wouldn’t get a shot off in the late 80s and early 90s and would barely be a bench spark for most teams.

30 years following this league and never seen anything so laughable as the Warriors.

I'd wait and see before sounding the alarm. The Kings almost choked Game 1. The true test of a team is how they show on the road/through adversity. Let's see the Kings in a hostile environment

They're only down 0-2. The same thing happened to the Cavs against a young celtics team in the 2018 ECF. I wouldn't be surprised if Steph goes god mode like lbj did in that series and pushes this series to 7 games. Anything could happen in a game 7, but yea they definitely need Steph to be better than 9 for 21 with 6 assists and 5 TOs. He's capable of dropping multiple 40 pieces. We'll see what happens.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Pretty impressed by following the league for 30 years and still seemingly having the knowledge of the game of a toddler.

You're obviously entitled to your opinion but sometimes it's better to keep it to yourself. As Abraham Lincoln said: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

Agreed - I mean it was over last year. Bob Myers is leaving for a reason.

teams are running their schemes on both ends. Kings run a very similar offense while most teams are a lot more advanced in switching unlike before.

Cavs were shocked when they faced the small ball unit, it was new back then. Right now, almost all teams have small ball units.

Players also are shooting a lot better where the gap between steph and the best shooters have been alot closer unlike before

Don't forget the warriors went up 2-0 in 2016. As did the Mavs in the 07 finals. And the bucks in the 2021 finals.

The series isn't over yet, but the dubs have their work cut out for them.

When they're eliminated I'll say they're done. They are 4 time champions.

The series isn't close to being over but if they play like this against better teams like the bucks, celtics, denver, and philly I don't see them winning.
