Montalban's Official Bitch About tHe Warriors Superthread

[Montalban]

Green fouls him on a three! What a tool!

 

[Montalban]

The moment was too big for the Sixers. They panicked.

 

[Montalban]

I'm just astonished how lackadaisical and careless with the ball the Warriors are. They let a 28-point lead get cut to 4 points by a shit bag team like the Nets. Kerr needs to get this team to take the game seriously for 48 minutes.

It's like you haven't watched the Warriors at all in the last 3 years.

I get your sentiment overall though @Montalban

The Warriors are just going through the motions right now. They can play at 70% during the course of the game and win. They're just not motivated enough right now at this point. Some of its still working out kinks with personnel and defensive rotations, but a lot of it is a coasting mentality.

The 2015 Warriors were motivated because it was their first real shot at a title in decades.
The 2016 Warriors were motivated because they wanted to show that their first win wasn't a fluke.
The 2017 Warriors were motivated after blowing a 3-1 lead and signing Durant.

What do the 2018 Warriors have to motivate themselves right now?

 

[LogicMan]

Warriors had a great run........

Its more like the Warriors haven't changed at all.

Professional pride? A legacy? Has there ever been a team other than the Celtics that has won 3 titles in 4 years?

Um, well the Bulls won 3 titles in 3 years, twice

I thought there was someone. I thought perhaps the lakers might have done it. But as your post shows above, there is still plenty of motivation to win. The Bulls still outclass the Warriors.

Winning a championship will depend on how they are playing in May/June -- not November.

The Bulls comparison is a good one.

Please go look up their record from '97 and '98. The regular season becomes less and less meaningful the more success the team has over time.

Nah. A win in November counts the same as one in May.

Not in the regular season...

You've posted a lot of dumb stuff, but legitimately this is the dumbest thing you've ever posted. Congrats. I don't know how you top on out on this one.

According to you...a win in November, the first month of the regular season, counts the same as one in May, aka the PLAYOFFS. Regular season ends in April genius.

Don't be a fool. You know I meant beginning wins count the same as season ending ones

 

[larryjohn]

Not for the Warriors. The regular season ends in April -- May/June are just the playoffs.

City Sushi knew what I meant. He's butt hurt because I was right about the Dubs and he was wrong.

I don't think so.

You replied to @larryjohn saying that a win in May is the same as a win in November. LJ was clearly talking about the playoffs. You made the mistake and he called you on it.
