Meh, they are people too and can comment just like other people, nothing pathetic about it. Their spouse or son don't control them.



Yes, everybody is free to make full of themselves. It's not pathetic, it's actually funny sometimes.


Anyway, the overreactions from here to them are even funnier.

But they're not "just other people." They're related to prominent sports figures who are/were in the spotlight right now. The last thing that is needed is unwanted negative publicity. What we say about players doesn't get published. Nobody cares. What players wives and mothers say does.

Hoo man, how many Dubs' fans would eat crow? And how bad would this be for KD's psyche? Hoo man!
I didn't watch the last game but looking at the box score, KD had a good, efficient game. Why is his play being criticized? Is it because other players aren't able to get into rhythm because KD has the ball in his hands for so long? How is this affecting the Dub's defense which was in shambles in game 2? If Curry is once again not at 100%, what's the game plan other than letting KD go to work?

Sure, but that doesn't make it pathetic, nor does it mean they can't comment, yes, even publicly. It might be embarrassing, and their spouse, son, whatever might tell them to refrain from it for the sanity of all involved, but if they want to comment, they can do so and whatever comes from it happens.

Why is it implicit that she has no basketball IQ?

Would love to see Mom Wars here.


It could be more exciting than the rest of the series. If KD's tenure in GS goes awry and he's the cause of a potential dynasty collapsing it'd make an epic 30 for 30 episode.
That being said, I still see GS wrapping this up in 5, maybe 6 and winning the 'chip easily.

KD is carrying this team. If they don't appreciate him I'm sure 29 other teams would.

You’re doing the most . If KD decides to pull a Kobe and refuse to shoot tomorrow you and people like you would be mad he didn’t shoot. He got 38 points off of 22 shots. The Warriors could never get to that 2016 level ever again. Curry is injury prone , clearly injured(even though I’m tired of that excuse ) and has a history of not showing up in big games. I think Kerr is overrated but he would be foolish to run plays for a clearly injured Curry.

Im not saying the loss is because of KD. The loss is because GS played horrible defense. Im also not taking anything away from KD's individual talent, I think he is the most talented player in the NBA right now. Like I said in my post "Ya we wouldnt be as good", because yes if KD leaves the talent level of GS drops significantly.

Im talking strictly just as the enjoyment as a GS fan, this team is not nearly as fun and enjoyable to watch as the first couple seasons with Kerr as the coach. Again KD is a tremendous talent, GS just went from the ultimate team first and ball movement team to now when things get a little tough its the KD ISO show. Can it be very effective? Hell ya. Did KD ISOing lead to the loss last game? No the bad defense did. Do I enjoy this team nearly as much as I did the prior teams? No. Thats all I was saying.

Lol at some GS fans agreeing with this nonsense. Curry can’t move laterally at the moment and has been a liability in both games. That has been the biggest issue.

Trying to spin this into a narrative about Durant having tunnel vision is pathetic.
