These huge runs in the playoffs are crazy! First the Grizzlies twice on their win against the Wolves, and now Heat and the Bucks doing the same thing on their opponents.

Phx really struggling against this pels team playing 3 rookies in their rotation. Lmao I can’t believe so many have them as a clear favorite.

We are without our best player, so yeah... we will struggle.

And Golden State is clearly better than Phoenix. Everyone who watches basketball knows that at peak level, Golden State would beat Phoenix in 5.

Yall are a pretty annoying fanbase for one that has had so much success in the last decade.

I'm just being realistic. If Klay wasn't playing like this, and if Booker wasn't hurt, maybe its a closer series.

But its not lol. Golden State has more shooters and firepower than Phoenix does - but frankly no one in the NBA has what Golden State has.

Phoenix would lose in 5, if everything goes right, perhaps Phoenix could push it to 6 if Booker gets healthy. But no one is beating Golden State.

Having said that - yalls fanbase is frankly irritating, especially on social media.

Maybe you should complain on social media then, instead of a Warrior forum.

Before the playoffs started everyone in the media had you as the clear on favorites to come out the west like it was no contest. Hell even warriors fans here were thinking phx would come out the west.

Like y’all had a good season but it wasn’t some dominant season where y’all were blowing teams out left and right. Y’all had a lot of close games and came out on top in a lot of clutch situations which typically are usually 50/50 affairs. That combined with us playing y’all close each and every time and coming out with tied season series didn’t make any sense to me that everyone and their mamas would pick y’all and it not being a contest.

We had the best +/- against the league so yeah we did pretty good. Including splitting the series with you guys.

This version of NOP would've been top 4, above Dallas btw.

You know what's really irritating? Phoenix Suns fans coming to the GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS FORUM and complaining about Warriors fans. This forum is here for us to discuss the Warriors with other Warriors fans. If you want to have some honest discourse, then engage in an honest conversation, don't come here to make personal attacks on the fan base in their own territory. That's just trolling. You want to whine about Warriors fans? Do it on the Sun's board. Do it on the general board. This is our space.

Tribalism rears its pointy little head.

"You can't come in our fort!" Who cares? Treat 'em like you treat other Warriors fans -- which isn't overly polite anyway, right? Most fandom is just a fluke of geography anyway.

I could say the same thing about you guys flooding the Suns-Pelicans thread with sarcastic comments.

Honestly, Warriors fans in person are great - I've never had a bad experience with them in person.

Well, that is the GB, so that's different. And, is that really a thing? Are us guys flooding that game thread with sarcastic comments? That would surprise me.

I have no hard feelings towards Mark Jackson. He served his purpose, which was essentially that of a bridge coach. I've read some posters going on and on about prostitutes and some such alleged transgressions. Meh. Typically, it's the guy ranting about some other guy's sex life who is himself the biggest pervert of all. :lol:

That's what the playoff threads on the general board is for. Fans of all teams congregate to talk about the games as they're happening. You might also check your buddy Slimm Charles who's also whining in this thread. He's been in the Warriors Nugget thread being annoying. But it's on the general board so we don't care. We will gladly have conversations with you here if you want to talk basketball.
