Warrior fans are very devoted to this team, win or lose. Bay area fans have a high basketball IQ, but where's the arrogance? Arrogance is reserved for those who are wannabe's but do't feel comfortable in their own skin.

You guys seem ok on realgm but in general not so much. To call Bay Area fans idiots would be very generous. You guys completely ruined Mullins jersey retirement over a good trade. Complete lack of class and knowledge shown that day. It's not all your fans but it was a large portion of them.

Don't let be decisons of a few fans determine the "IQ" of a fan base. I was there there the night of Mullin's jersey retirement and can assure you it wasn't the entire building booing Lacob.

Although it was a good trade in the Warriors favor, but at that point In time, most causal fans didn't think so. Monta was the reason why the W's were relevant in most games. Curry was oft-injured with his ankle issues and here comes Lacob trading for ANOTHER oft-injured player in bogut. Bogut didn't play for us until the following year after the trade. The franchise was reliant on curry's ankles and bogut's, well everything.

You never trade bigs for smalls, but only the junkies would realize that.

I know it's stupid to stereotype a whole fan base but that night was really bad and it did appear to be a large number of people booing.
Besides that I like the Warriors and their fans. Very pattionate.

No need to come here with this nonsense. You may not see it, but it's quite evident to most.

Most GSW fans see the big picture. Many didn't like the Monta for Bogut trade, but most of us understood it was orchestrated by the maestro, Jerry West. And who has a better track record than he does? I think in the off season the Warriors will get a stud free agent for power forward and put Green in as small forward.

You made a statement that warrior fans are arrogant. Where's the evidence? Stating it's quite evident does not make it a fact. You're responding to a few fans who got under your skin. You paint people with a broad brush

Most of you understood the trade? Hmm...seems to me the entire stadium boo'd the GM after the Monta trade went down.

Friend, most Warrior fans didn't appreciate the trade until the following season. Once Curry showed his skills and Thompson thrived in Monta's off guard position and Bogut showed his defensive skills near the rim, the rest was history. The move had Jerry West's signature all over it.

It was the owner and not the GM, but I would assume a Cleveland fan could understand the frustration of dealing with incompetent front office management.

After ushering out an owner who nobody liked, the new owner (who wasn't the hoped for win-at-all-costs mega-billionaire that would spend his way to a title) traded the player viewed as one of the cornerstones of the franchise for someone who was out for the rest of the season. Then he walked out to center stage in front of an arena full of season ticket holders. Lacob may not have deserved it, but he certainly set himself up for it.

Whatever. The Cavs gave it their best shot..and GSW was better. Period. Next Year...if guys ENDURRE I Expect LeBron has them playing a TEAM game (like GSW did) and they are RIPE to go the distance. I also expect GSW will again be good (better..actually) and it will be a great Finals.

Huh? Of course you guys were better. We were missing our franchise PG and Stretch four due to some b.s.
it's hard to win the finals when all the other team had to was takeaway our only option. Next year should be different. Congrats

I would've booed Lacob had I been at Oracle that night. Not because of trading Monta - I was saying the Warriors should trade Monta for Bogut six month before it happened. But because of Lacob's unjustified hubris, his firing of Don Nelson when Keith Smart was his backup plan, his stepping all over Chris Mullin's night, etc. etc.

If anything, the Monta trade was Lacob's first step in the direction of getting things right. Now he has earned the applause - then, not so much.

Only a simpleton equates booing Lacob solely with trading Monta Ellis. We Warriors fans have long memories.

I expect a Warriors-Cavs rematch in the Finals next year. Either that or and OKC-Cavs matchup. Both would be highly entertaining.

That being said, I don't think it's a guarantee the Cavs make the Finals again. Bulls have a shot if Hoiberg is able to pull a Kerr and players like Butler and Mirotic take significant strides.

I expect next season to be another thriller. I don't expect the Warrior's record to be as good as it was this past season, but I think they'll be contenders. So much of a team's success depends on having a healthy team. The Dubs got lucky this year.
