He hopes Golden State losses every time and is the most hilariously bitter ex moderator on here, so I'm not surprised he's caught in his feelings especially tonight. :lol:


How is that bitter lmao? Golden State won that trade in hilarious fashion, both by getting a pick for a young guy with a ton of talent, and by keeping a max spot with a player who has been a positive starter for them. Wiggins being a disappointment as a player and max contract is irrelevant to Golden State.

Learn to read without being butthurt all the time. What about tonight would make me extra bitter? I had no reason to believe Dallas was a real threat to GS at all, nothing changed tonight.

Ps: I hate the Warriors, but I love to hate the Warriors and root against them because they're consistently pretty awesome. I'll surely miss them when they wrap it up. Get out your feels, I love basketball, even the teams I root against.


Wiggins playing great is why the Warriors are a win away from the finals. you are so wrong it's not even funny.....actually It kind of is.

He's not a disappointment to GS at all, because his salary cost is totally irrelevant. He's both a pleasant surprise and a huge boon to them, especially right now. Y'all are so defensive and ready to get your feelings hurt that you can't comprehend what someone is saying. :lol:

I liked Wiggins better than DLo so I wasn't upset, but at the time I felt like they should have gotten another pick from Minny in the trade, that's how devalued he was. But obviously, it worked out rather well. Hopefully Kuminga gets more run next year.

at that time, No1 thought Russel was anything other than terrible, same goes for Wiggins
I think the big issue was, perhaps because of a bad image idk..but most thought he would be reluctant to be a role player
being propped up the way he was as a highly touted #1 pick and being THE man on a bad minny team

The fact that he completely bought in is a testament to the organization and to this specific vet core\dynasty that are all about the team (which is refreshing tbh)

acting like it was a forgone conculsion that he will buy-in and isn't just another guy who got paid and wants to jack his shots and go home - that's disingenious imo

it worked out better than any1 expected but that's easy to say now..

Wright is a moron regardless, since they got a high pick in this trade and Russel was a negative player anyway, on and off the court

There is no way to give Lacob and co. the "light years" treatment, meaning how smart they were when they saw the potential of what they can do with Wiggins, got rid of a terrible player who doesn't fit for a decent player that fits great and got Kuminga in the process for their trouble...light years indeed but..that's the same guys that got Russel to begin with and were stuck with a bad asset

and Russel was universally hated personally and was a confirmed loser and bad defense chucker
i'm guessing they thought it can work out, that their coaching and organization etc will make a difference, right?

you win some, you lose some
at least they don't care about money, that's almost all you can ask for from an owner :P



they got russel from a s&t with the nets. its not like they had the whole league of options to choose from. it was either pick someone from the nets or lose KD for nothing. at the time d'angelo was an interesting prospect. He would either work well with the dubs or he would be a good asset to hold until they offloaded him.. which is exactly what happened.

and their coaching staff did make a difference. they made russel look good (even though it was obvious he would be a bad fit with splash bros) and they are making wiggins look good now.

I would have traded dLo for Wiggins straight up. Getting Wiggs and a FRP robbery....having the FRP not be lottery protected was armed robbery.

Of course I don't want to see the wicked empire win. I will root against them until someone replaces them as the next great evil. :lol:

That's just sports, even if you follow a dynasty, your season ends in disappointment as a fan more often than it ends with a championship, so I'm already prepared to be gritting my teeth while The splash Bros and Draymond prance around with another trophy.

But anyway, you don't get to talk trash as a Warriors fan with a convenient 2016 join date lolol. It only counts for the lifers.

Mean dunk indeed. Good thing refs turned it, while there is a bit of forearm there it's nothing that should be called.

While this is nice dunk it's still nowhere close being to 3 dunk of this year.

Not sure why all the controversy.

Decent SF miscast as a #2 option in Minnesota and is now playing better as a #4 option on an all-star team. He has much less pressure and gets way more wide open shots. Who would've thought he would be perceived as better now that he's joined HoFers!

Really?

Teams just putting out bad propaganda now?

It literally edits out the elbow to the face/throat offensive foul. It’s before and immediately after. It’s like a North Korean news clip.

Sad GS. Fans should not stand for it. Yes, it looks cool. Yes, Wiggins got up. But just editing out the contact?

Pathetic.


The clip is honing in on the dunk, it doesn't say anything about whether it's a foul or not. In that sense I don't think cutting out contact is an issue

You can’t be serious.

Wow really SNPA
People see what they want to see
At least the refs corrected their stupid mistake.

But the believing what you want to see scares me like Trumpers vs Rachel Maddow fans with neither group having any interest in reality.

I do not enjoy flopping at all, but you almost have to do it when you get yammed on that badly lol.

The left arm of Wiggins coming down that way, is a natural motion when you dunk with 1 hand. Nothing unnatural about it. The refs were correct to reverse the initial call.
