Aside from a very few, most GS fans are not using that excuse, so let's quick baiting and say something more meaningful.


I disagree with that , and Curry fans in general use this excuse quite often. Numerous broadcasters including JVG have mentioned this over the past few weeks.


To be clear....I was not using his actions as an excuse for anything. I get why some don't like it. I also get why many don't care for Draymond Green's antics. If they were not on my team, i would probably not care for Draymond.

I don't understand how any can actually hate on Curry. By every account he is a great guy, friend, father, husband, etc.

I guess everyone hates Mark Jackson, Reggie Miller, Kobe Bryant, Sam Casell, Shaq, or anyone who has hung on a rim, yelled to the heavens, made a gesture, etc.

Reminds me how old folk used to get mad at guys for spiking the football. I like emotions, and don't care for robots....but to each his own, so I'm not expecting, nor do I care if otheres feel the same as me.

After watching the warriors be in the bottom of the league for decades and having everyone dance all over us I cant help but laugh at these comments. The irony.. And then to suffer so long, to get a new owner that gave a damn has been worth the wait. Drafted the core and had a good free agent signing within the CBA is good business sense. Brought in winners from the business. Former agent as GM, and the logo. Look at all the bad management around the league by some recycled failed agendas and you mock success? That is a loser mentality. Celebrate success and try to copy it. Dont copy the losers and complain.

Copy what? getting 4 all stars(2 of em former MVPs) on one team? I doubt that happens again

Drafting 3 all stars, getting 1. First superstar FA signing by GS in forever. After sticking through season after season of suck, I'm loving this time and welcome the salt. These good times don't last forever for us fans, there will be a time I will wish I could go back to the days of hearing about our cupcake and how the shimmy gets under peoples skin.

Copy good management / ownership . And there was a team just a few years ago that had 4 all starts as well. Its not the only time this has happened. Nor is the celebrating. Seems you been wound up. Hope you find some kind of enjoyment in life with all the confusion swirling in your head you cant read the simple post.

series gonna be tied up tonight...worriers fans prepare for the defeat
Fact is that momentum in games is a real thing, while not tangible itself, you can tangibly see the effect it has when teams are on runs and how it can dramatically effect the outcome of games when you can generate any momentum.

Reminds me of how pissed everyone was when we brought in Danny Fortson to complete the big 3 of Fortson, Jamison, and Murphy... Dubs are always ruining the league.

I just don't know what would make Curry think that was a good idea, as nobody will ever view him as an adult after that.
He already has the face of a toddler, no reason to act like one too :lol:


Curry is arguably the most arrogant player in NBA history but he plays it off in interviews which throws people off. Cant stand the dude and it will be a great day when this warriors run is done.


Jeesh, you might want to consider Warriors fan's feelings before posting something like this. I’m not even sure if I will be able to enjoy the multiple Warriors' titles knowing this is how you feel about Steph.

Iggy is pretty important not so much in talent but because GSW pretty thin on the wing and it helps them play small. They have to play Nick Young more and lol I am ready for swaggy P. I don't think Looney can play close to 30mins.

There are a lot of bad owner/gm combinations in the league but there are also lots of good ones. The Warriors front office isn't significantly ahead of all other front offices. They are a really good front office coupled with a lot of luck. Many other franchises have taken good approaches and things just didn't turn out their way or nearly as good as the Warriors has. You can't copy luck. Draymond turning out to be this good is flat out luck. The Warriors passed on him twice which is more than most teams did. Curry and Klay were drafted right about where most people expected them to be drafted. Both turned out to be much better players than everybody expected as well. The Warriors deserve tons of credit for developing the players and drafting them but none of their moves to get 4 all stars on the team have been amazing or even moves that required a lot of creativity.

Was Iggy ever that close to going to Houston or was that just a ploy to get paid?

Likely to get paid more lol. GSW didn't want to give a 3rd year.
