Steph is much, much better than kyrie. 1on1 kyrie is obvs better but in a 5on5 team game it's not even close. If he's not scoring he's not really doing anything for the cavs.

Bro same lmao. I never thought I'd hate an NBA team more than the 07-08 Celtics but I'd watch that team beat this Warriors team and be the happiest guy alive lol

At least that Celtics' team was assembled via trades, and there was a ton of uncertainty. We also gave up our entire "future" for that team. Not that it was the same situation as today's, but we had some good prospects, at that time, that we thought could eventually gel with Pierce.

I liked this Warriors' team before, because they were assembled through the draft. KD coming was just BS though

 

Jun 5, 2017

f--- I'm only drunk cuz of KD lmao. I wish I didn't have work in the Am

thats whay sucks about the nba.. every year there are only like 3 teams who have a realistic shot at winning the title(spurs,cavs,warriors). League is so unbalanced

 

Jun 5, 2017

Makes me wonder what the Warriors would look like also with LBJ on the team.

 

Jun 5, 2017

Let's not even entertain that idea. It wouldn't happen in a million years but still...

 

Jun 5, 2017

Never say never, my friend.

Warriors beat Bron 1 or 2 more times+maybe Bron declines a bit and that'll be enough for Bron to consider taking his talents to the bay.

 

Jun 5, 2017

He's too smart for that. After all the criticism he got for going to the Heat? And after seeing all the s--- KD has got since joining them? There's just no way. Especially not after losing to them likely to be twice now in the finals. It would taint his legacy.

 

Jun 5, 2017

The Warriors get one player through free agency and ya'll act like the team suddenly wasn't built through drafts/trades. Lol.

 

Jun 5, 2017

Not just any player, a top 3 player in the league rn. He's taken them from historically great to unbeatable. It's stupid.

 

Jun 5, 2017

Did you even read my post or....?

I said I liked the Warriors before the Durant signing. I actually don't mind most of the team (although I hate Zaza, Draymond and McGee because of various events from this PAST season).

Durant is a b---- though, I've been pretty consistent in that assessment. I don't blame the Warriors' organization for signing him, it was just a b-----made thing for him to do, and it made me dislike the Warriors because of it. I felt the same way about LeBron signing with the Heat.

 

Jun 5, 2017

Still one player. Doesn't matter if he's top three in the league. They still built the majority of their core through drafts and trades. This isn't arguable.

It also isn't stupid. It's fair. Here's what people don't understand. When Lebron went back to the Cavs and made the trade for Kevin Love, this is what Lebron expected their team to be. They were a super team. I'm not talking about now, I'm talking about at that time. What he didn't expect was the Warriors to come along like they did. So now people are acting like the Cavs weren't built to be dominant. Lebron tried to stack the deck in his favor. He just didn't expect Steph Curry to be transcendent, Klay Thompson to be one of the greatest shooters ever, and Draymond Green to possibly be the greatest defender the game has ever seen. Then the Warriors signed Durant to stack the deck even more in their favor. This is something Lebron tried to do, but failed because he underestimated everyone else. He brought this s--- upon himself. And it annoys me how people are acting like this dude didn't try to do the same d--- thing. Twice. Not just with the Heat, but with the Cavs.

Lebron created what you see now. Deal with it. Because now he's dealing with it.

 

Jun 5, 2017

LeBron was a b---- for going to the Heat, and I think he's semi-b---- for going back to the Cavs, because he knew they had Kyrie and the first overall pick, while he was on an aging Heat team. It just seemed a little more genuine that he went back to Cleveland, so it's a little easier to swallow.

I respected how the Warriors built their team, it was amazing how they did it. I enjoyed watching them the last two years because it was based off drafting/player development.

However, my hatred for them STARTED with Durant signing there. I hated the move on HIS part. I didn't hate it on the Warriors' part lol. They're just trying to make their team better, good for them.

What's irritating about Durant is OKC wasn't far away. It's not like they lacked talent or anything. They were up 3-1 vs this same Golden State team. It's not like Russ and Durant are too old or the window was closing. It could've been a legit 3 team race in the West, and an even more competitive NBA FInals vs Cleveland.

In all honesty though, I really started hating the Warriors after the McGee/Shaq thing, then Draymond talking s--- to Pierce, then Zaza's cheap play on Leonard (who's my favorite player in the NBA that's not a Celtic). I still love Klay, Curry, Iguodala though.

Durant didn't want to play with a point guard who didn't know how to play point guard. Lol. Russell doesn't make things easier for his teammates. That's the goal of a point guard. h---, that's the goal of all teammates. To make things easier on each other. It's a team game. Russell wasn't about that life. He was about getting his. He was about grabbing glory and to h--- with anyone in his way. Durant didn't f--- with that. He spent too many years playing with Russell and he looked at other teams around the league only to realize that this wasn't how a team is supposed to play basketball.

He wanted to play with someone who knew what they were doing and was selfless. People are acting like he went to the Warriors purely based on chasing rings. Nah. If he did, he wouldn't have given any other teams the time of day when he was up for a new contract. But he did. He considered every single team that went to him. He spent hours in meetings with plenty of teams. But none of those teams had Curry. Think about this man. Curry could have said no. The Warriors are essentially HIS team. But Curry didn't say no. He told Durant the truth. It's not about the spotlight bruh. It's not about doing it by yourself. It's about playing as a team and for your teammates. That's what Durant has wanted his entire career. That's not a b---- move. That's a dude who worked hard his entire life and it finally paid off, getting what he wanted. To play basketball with players who gave a s---.

Sure, he could have gone to other teams. But maybe the other teams just didn't have the culture he was looking for. So no, I don't hold that s--- against him. He wasn't just looking for a chance at a championship. He was looking at other things. Durant seems like a well adjusted dude. Plenty of things were important to him when he decided to go to the Warriors.

Lebron? Nah. That dude is purely chasing rings because he's chasing a legacy that isn't his. He so bad wants to be Michael Jordan, all that fake camaraderie s--- he does with his teammates ends up being disingenuous. I can't tell you how many times he's thrown his teammates under the bus. Call Durant a b---- all you want. Lebron is more of a b---- than Durant will ever be.

You spent 3 paragraphs defending Durant's decision, yet one paragraph explaining LeBron is ring chasing lmfao. How are you not seeing the similarities? I mean, if you love Durant and hate LeBron, that's fine, but at least admit it or show some consistency instead of finding excuses for one and demonizing the other lol.

Durant was one win away from an NBA Finals with OKC. He went to a team that won 73 wins in a regular season... Obviously the "culture" appealed to him, what kind of weird argument is that? lmao. They just set a record and lost by 4 points in a game 7 after almost REPEATING.

Really "earning" a ring would've been figuring it out with Russ in the off-season and realizing you were ONE WIN AWAY FROM A FINALS! You're acting like they were so far behind the Warriors that they could've never figured it out. That's complete bs.

What's even funnier is that Durant criticized everyone for ring chasing in 2010 lol.

And LeBron visited teams too. He visited the Nets, Knicks, Clippers, Heat and Bulls. The Bulls/Cavs were actually the favorites to land him. There was also talk about the Knicks having a legit chance. It was really only the day before The Decision that Miami Heat were the front runners. But to say LeBron didn't sit down with every team is absurd, he did the exact same thing, and was probably going to re-sign with the Cavs until Bosh/Wade signed with Miami the day before.

The equivalent of what Durant did would be LeBron going to the Boston Celtics after they defeated him in 2010, and joined KG, Ray, Rondo and Pierce. Literally the same exact thing, except the Celtics were a 4 seed going into the playoffs, not a record setting team lol. Miami wasn't a championship team, nor controlled the East prior to James signing. There was still a lot of uncertainty with them, and Boston/Bulls were still a force. However, if James signed with Boston? It would've been unfair, kind of like how KD signed with GSW.

 

Jun 5, 2017

Bruh, Lebron literally admitted to the press he was ring chasing. I don't have to spend paragraphs explaining that s---.

And you're still not comprehending my point about Russell. Yea, they were one win away from the finals. Doesn't change the fact that Russell probably isn't fun to play with. This isn't rocket science. Watch how Russell plays and then watch how Steph plays. I'd pick Steph every time too.

And I wouldn't call myself a KD fan. I think he's an impressive player, but I wouldn't buy his s--- or ask for his autograph. But it's pretty clear, the difference between his decision and Lebron's. One is more of a b---- than the other. We just disagree on who.
