And Lillard, being Lillard, is saying nothing about it.

Anybody else rubbing it in the faces of those who said GSW sucks without Durant?

Because I am

These conference finals are boring.

It's almost like the Warriors were a good team before KD got there

Which one or two people said that? Because it can't be too many people who thought the core of a 73 win team wasn't good.

They look much scarier without him.

If im KD- I dont look back...
can we get KD, KI, trade for AD and sign Cousins and other ring chasers for the minimum?

If we want a team like GSW or the Bucks- then no...
The way I look at it- yes we need a super star but I think it would be better if you had another all star with a bunch of above average NBA starters who have experience - can hit the three at a high percentage and are high IQ winners...We need more balance
than a big 4 or big three...besides- chemistry is even more important. If we are bringing KD ;which it looks like we are. We are
just going to have to build the team around him and stay committed to it until he cant play at that high level anymore...

Yup - half that roster was on the 73 win and championship teams....

Motherfcker was playing possum all year. Fat as hell too. Where did that go?

honestly- I think deep down Dray resented KD coming and we are seeing a: "I told you mofos
we dont need no help Dray"...It's interesting because to me- the "overkill theory" was validated for me with KD
going to GS. While they still won- I think it hurt their regular season record and playing with KD wasnt as much fun-
just look at them now-the main guys look like they came out the basketball closest :lol:

I'm not...We all do it in different areas...sometimes we put so much focus on one thing (KD's play) that we forget
about others (Curry, Dray, Klay and the original team as a whole and their capabilities). I didnt- probably because
the Warriors are one of my side teams...

The half that counts

Curry, Clay, Dray, Iggy - that's the true core of the Warriors. And not sure if Bogut was on the 73 win team, but he's back in his limited role, and Livingstone has been there basically their entire run.

In effect they swapped out Barnes for Durant and had some shakeup in the role players 8-13

I fell asleep and missed the ending, glad the warriors won, KD is definitely leaving now as with every win he takes more and more criticism

the play they are suggesting it happened on didn't happen until late in game 2. So that doesn't excuse the 1st two games really. But yeah playing with a ribs injury is going to effect your shooting for sure.

Are the guys who say (Klay's) off-the-ball-movement doesn't create shots for others still here? My god the cluelessness...

I dont think it matters either way if you ask me- Dame and CJ are just not enough against that GS animal...I think the new bully on the block is Giannis and his team- with only the GSW's experience and Curry having a chance at holding them off...

I don't know who would say that. There's a reason (well, a few) that he's part of one of the greatest team's core 4.

I mean, I guess maybe people could get into arguments over where he is among SG's in terms of total talent - how HIGH on the list - he'd be high in any event. His style would help any team, but with willing passers like Dray, Curry, Iggy and then a creator/passer like Curry, it's perfect.

GSW are a combination of really great players who also fit great with each other. Or, I guess their passing and unselfishness and team oriented basketball would be really helpful to any team, but then put 4 guys like that one one team and it's exponentially great.

Other than the fact that sometimes the GSW's have that modern athlete issue of being annoyingly cocky at times, anyone who liked the championship Knicks or any classic Celts team or the Bulls or showtime Lakers or any of Don Nelsons creations, should like this team the last 5 years.

Lillard was actually shooting worse as the rounds went on, outside of a good game here and there. Sucks he's injured now of course.

As for GS being better, the players and such wont dare say that, It's naturally for fans to talk with the silliness.

Totally. They said curry wasn't top 10, Klay was a role player who can't create a shot nor dribble the ball, Draymond's overrated and not worth a big contract. They said it. Now they don't remember. I do.

Yo, Steph is top 3 all time, and Klay > Kyrie. Draymond's is a moron, but he's the **** too. While being an idiot, at least he's real.

Lots of turncoats around here lately.

Who makes it to the finals?
