Presumably not a single person will rank Tatum above Butler in next year’s player rankings. Right???

Did the Warriors even want him back? I thought he wore out his welcome (but I could be wrong).

He said he essentially choose Kyrie over Steph....that’s not made up...he LEFT GSW and he gonna have to accept Curry is better than him all time...Curry bounced him personally - won a ring 1st, won a ring after - has 4 rights and 2 MVPs Curry reshuffled that all time deck this year -

How many MVPs KD got...how many rings...? Count the ones that count and Curry is objectively better and clearly smarter because he let the pro gm put the team together and pick the coach


I agree that it wasn't a smart move, but maybe Durant thought that he had to prove himself outside of being on the Warriors...?

I still think Durant should've stayed with OKC because he was close to beating the Warriors. OKC runs it back and who knows? But he didn't that so it doesn't matter anymore.

Steph is like a dork middle schooler who's now got way more confidence than he knows what to do with, and Klay is basically full douchebox. Draymond's fun af though, and would be that in any job he had.

And given what he saw at the time, with that team's recent history and front office, not a soul blames him for feeling that way.

Boston has to be hurting after blowing game 4. They win that game they win the series. Congrats to the Warriors.

Yea, the us against the world schtick is patently absurd. A lot of people had the Warriors as a title contender this year. If anything Boston making it to the Finals is more of the underdog story.

The Vegas odds had them rated higher than fans/media, but they were still +1100. That's definitely in the afterthought grouping of teams (just behind them were the Jazz). And much of those odds were simply due to how popular they were (knowing the bets would roll in on them). They were >-150 odds with KD. The Lakers were +450 when they won. The Bucks +550 when they won. +200 to +500 is the standard range that favorites are listed. Brooklyn at +230 was the clear favorite this season.

Nobody here had the Warriors winning the title this year. Even going into the playoffs there were massive question marks surrounding them from fans and media. Most had Phoenix coming out of the West.

Congrats to Boston and theirnfans as well. Team has fought hard, in the end experience mattered, even if indid not believe it to start with. They’ll be back next year, i am sure.

And congrats to Boston fans, they were decent, most of them. And on the ither end, especially FU to that Boston fan calling Tatum a bitch after a heart breaking loss. Classless act.

Yeah but Curry said he was not disappointed when he was drafted by the Warriors and it worked out very well for him :D

Celtics kryptonite is Thompsons, Mychal ad Klay are 2-0 vs Boston in the finals.

The knee-jerk reactionism is bordering near cringeworthy. Steph has played on some of the greatest NBA teams in history. He’s not a one man show, most of his teams were absolutely stacked

I'll believe anything you say ever since you predicted the Clippers blowing a 3-1 lead vs the Nuggets (Even though it hurt seeing Clippers blow it)

It's hard to rate Steph because I think most basketball stars don't build teams. Step quite clearly has helped to build/develop the players around him.

On top of the world right now!
