    LeBron doesn't care about another championship. Joining Lakers was a business and family decision. Bronny Jr. has a lot of potential to be in the NBA one day, he needs to play against better competition than one in Ohio to get better. LeBron doesn't have to prove anything to anyone anymore. If you understand basketball, you know what's his place in history. That being said, Warriors still need a superstar or two to be a serious contender tbh, nobody has ever won a title with just 5 All-stars in their prime

    What do you want the Warriors to do?
    Sit around and not plug holes they have and let other teams get better so they have a chance to experience adversity. They get enough hate for KD and losing a 73-9 season, i'm sure they give no s--- about letting other teams get better. They almost lost to the Rockets also. Two-peating / three-peating isn't easy

    Yeah, poor Warriors. . .

    Rockets are better coached than the Warriors. Does Steve Kerr actually game plan and have a strategy? No reason that series should’ve gone 7 with all the talent the Warriors have. Now they’ll sweep every single series unless one of em gets hurt

    Plug holes?? They’re not the Trailblazers or Wizards level team where they need to plug holes and desperately need more star power. Pretty sure they were A-okay with the core they had...even in the pre-Durant days. Adam Silver is a douche for allowing this to happen. It’s not even going to be fun to watch anymore.

    Kerr took a Warriors team that was poised for a breakout and made them the GOAT team (Before Durant even got there). From 51 wins (under Jackson) to 67 wins and 73 the year after. Helped Curry turn into a superstar, Draymond/Klay into stars by putting in that fluid ball moving offence into place. A system that teams will be trying to model for years.

    Not to mention how Warriors are one of the top defensive teams in the league.
    Somehow he also has kept everyone's Egos in check too. You can't be a championship team without all of that. He's underrated. Rockets were lucky to take it to 7 games and they played amazing in the games they did win.

    Also not sure how Adam Silver is supposed to stop free agent's from signing to Warriors.

    Just saying, they didn’t need to add KD AND Boogie to be a championship team. It’s not fair and it won’t be impressive when they win it all again.

    A lot of development at that high of a level comes from just plain old experience playing against other professional players, how much work you’re willing to put in and lifting with personal trainers. That’s what it mostly boils down to. Most good players progress and get better as they keep playing. Not much coaching goes into the NBA. They do more coaching in high school and college. Steph was averaging over 24 before Kerr got there. They were all progressing as a team because they had a solid core and Kerr happened to step in at the right time. Add second best player in the world Durant and an elite center in Boogie and it’s just flat out ridiculous

    Yea, what you're saying is nice and all, but lets be real, magic and them in lakers front office trying to win a championship and be a top seed in the west. Doubt they care about lebron personal life lol. And soon as the lakers are a 6 or 7 seed in the west come the middle of next season (which they are gon be) ppl gon have a lot to say. And thats also the fans and media expectations. You're right tho, lebron aint gotta prove nothing else, thats why i thought he would just stay in cleveland and end his career there. But, at least we know a team other than lebrons is finally coming out the east next seaon.

    You would think n----s would be trying to come east to get a better chance of going to the finals . One of them GMs in the east need to make something shake. s--- is wide open imo, even with the celtics

    When does anthony davis contract expire?

    True, But before Kerr, Mark Jackson Warriors were an Iso Ball team. Kerr changed that completely and deserves credit for that.

    Warriors GM and front office are geniuses, they figured out how to win and they aren’t collluding or cheating. It’s a beautiful thing to watch IMO.

    3 of the warriors starting 5 are homegrown and they added a couple free agents, which is what you’re supposed to do.

    People neee to stop getting butthurt for real.

    Nobody is really pissed at the Warriors. Durant is the worst type of p---- this sport has ever seen, this is all his doing. How do you join 73-9 team that you just choke against after leading 3-1? What is that? Who does that? A guy that is second best player in the league that's supposed to be competitive. That s--- broke the league the moment it happened. There is no excuses for that.

    Cole killed the show. My first time seeing Cole live and it was great. Didn't care for the opening act. He said at the end of his act, " if you didnt f--- with me before, don't f--- with me now." Or something like that. Don't worry, I won't be.
