Golden State Warriors 2017-2018

I suppose that's a Warriors failure you can look forward to.
Other reasons to celebrate from fellow Cavs fans:
- 2018 title will be an asterisk if Warriors win
- 2016 title was fully earned
- KD is a coward
- Curry is soft
- Draymond and Klay aren't that good
- 2015 and 2017 titles are asterisks

Used to save money on Kings games by seeing them play in Oakland. I was a huge Kings fan back when they had their run, then moved to the Bay Area and got blacked out from watching Kings games. It was all Warriors. I loved going to games in Oakland rocking my Kings gear and booing the Dubs.

Is this sarcasm?
I think he's riffin on the dogma in "the Land."
I was just glad nobody tried to shoot Draymond.
Oh no... There's so much wrong with every "point" he tried to make I don't even know where to begin
Talk about a hater
Whoa whoa whoa!
I don't agree with any of those points but that's what certain fans think. My favorite is the one about the Warriors forming a superteam and ruining the league by buying a championship. (Championships?)
The Warriors should strive to draft busts, mismanage their cap and sign mediocre free agents instead!

Moab on my mind
I've watched about forty years of them doing that. Plus, trading good players and letting good players get away in free agency.

Exactly. This is karma for the Warriors. They paid their dues. Not their fault drafted players developed, the salary cap went up, and a player like Durant CHOSE to come there.
They drafted Todd Fuller over Kobe, Nash, Peja. Passed on Vince Carter too among many others.
It’s really frustrating, not sure why but it is, when I read fans say Durant took the easy road and went with a 73-9 team and should have stayed or went to the Celtics. Fans get hung up on the 73-9 like that means something. Warriors didn’t win. Their record didn’t get them anything for the next season. It’s irritating logic. Durant was free to go anywhere. Why were the warriors considered off limits?

Didn’t they actually draft Vince Carter and trade him for Jamison?

Watching LeBron, coach Lue and other players field stupid questions in the aftermath of losing is just painful. Watching them question the winners is merely annoying, but still stupefying. I thought LeBron really handled this last one well and its a tick in his favor in my book.
The common theme seems to be some fanciful world where players emotions are extremely melodramatic: "Was that shot just like a moment where everything changed?" "How did it feel to [not do what you did in last game] make that shot? Did if lift all of your spirits? Did it destroy your spririts? Was it just like last year" ON and frickin' on. They keep looking for some answer this is basically improbable at best. I like questions about actual strategy and observations of the quality of play. But those are vastly outnumbered by "just something to ask" kind of questions.
The one thing I wish LeBron and others would occasionally do is look the dummy in the eye and say the following: "We are professional basketball players. We try our hardest to win and sometimes we come up short.. We are neither destroyed by a loss or do we have orgasms when we win. I repeat, we are professionals. We get paid a lot of money to play this game for your entertainment."
Gawd, I hate those stupid questions yet am compelled to watch the post-games because b-ball season is about to end. But I have no illusions that my emotional investments and adrenaline of watching the game is completely different than the pro athletes that play the game. Yet the questions continue, exactly implying something different.

What about the trade for Chris Webber? Ouch. That one set us back years.

I remember somebody asking Tiger Woods what it was going to take for him to beat some other player. The response was along the lines of "Well.... I'll probably have to have less strokes than they will."

Yeah, to me, it's like "what do you want from me?" They gave everything they had, leave 'em alone. Both coach and LBJ were much more composed last night than Game One loss that's for sure. ASFAIC, getting to the Finals was a great accomplishment for them this year with all the personnel changes. I just don't know what is left to ask.
