Series Thread: Western Conference Finals: OKC Thunder VS Golden State Warriors

Lets just hope tomorow the Cavs take care of business.

I'm sure you'll understand if I choose to hope they don't.

Love when fans of championship or bust teams try to make it seem like their season would be considered a success if they don't win the title.

And I hate when fans of wannabe winning teams try to chime in and make those that've accomplished more somehow seem less accomplished.

Those that can't do- spectate.

 

[occupant]

No, I jumped off the NBA bandwagon like 10 years ago. I jumped back on after all the misery was reversed with the success of the team. But watching this flawed product makes me think only an idiot would support it. Curry was being grabbed the entire fucking game off the ball the entire game and no call. Everybody else was getting that call. Why didn't he?

It's a flawed product. You want to hit the gumball machine for your candy then more power to you. I've seen shady games where my team has won and shady games where my team has lost. And I'm done with it. Communities pump hundreds of millions of dollars into this slanted shit show?

But you can enjoy. I've just signed off forever.

Ok but before you go let us know who wins it all?

 

[LAD]

They responded after winning the title by NOT winning the title. Meanwhile, teams like 3 different Lakers teams, MJ's Bulls, the bad boy Pistons, Hakeem's Rockets and Lebron's Heat all responded to winning the title by winning it again the next season. A couple of those teams even responded by winning it 2 more times.

So we're talking like 4 different teams out of 30? Those are great odds.

Furthermore, people are always anointing the Spurs as a dynasty-such a superb team season after season yet they haven't been able to repeat. LOL

 

[gohusk]

such a cry baby.

Durant was mugged on multiple occasions with nothing being called.

same for Westbrook.

I thought you were leaving?

Was Durant getting grabbed while running through off the ball screens the entire fucking game? Call the fucking foul. Is it not a foul? Make a stand. But now, seriously, I'm done. I've seen too many games on the NCAA and the NBA level with blatantly slanted officiating for whatever reason. I'm done. Big money ruined this sport. It's a joke. Enjoy your bubble gum.

The Warriors 73 win season will not mean much in the long run if they can't finish the season with the title. These are just facts

 

[LAD]

This logic is stupid. If you don't want anyone to talk about your team, I would advise you to only post on the Warriors team board.

Or, you could just say something that is relevant.

 

[Wheat]

So I guess your @gohusk, prediction of KD and RW leaving is as lame as you are, gotcha!

 

[LAD]

IF i remember correctly.. it was 3-2?

In 2001 WC semi's against the Lakers? No. I think you're thinking the first round against Phoenix.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

considering what the Dubs have accomplished to this point..I still call this season a success.....not to mention there's still lots of ball yet to be played in this series, as well as the next, before it's all said and done.

Point is, great teams finish the job. If a team wins a title one year and then doesn't the next year, with virtually the same roster, they responded to winning the title by losing. Your team was championship or bust before the season started. They made their season even more championship or bust by breaking the record they did. To not finish with a title makes those records virtually meaningless.

 

[occupant]

When you win 73 games and are the defending champs. The only way your season can be looked as a success if you win the ship.

All those regular season accomplishments would mean nothing

It would give the fans a reason not to slit wrists.

 

[bksballer89]

And i thought cavs fans were bad about making excuses how their season would be a success if they don't win the title......

Didn't you "quit forever" like an hour and a half ago?

Well I mean we can state a bunch of facts....like Wade couldn't get his 48 win team outta the 2nd round in the east.
Another fact: GS was able to win in TWO rounds when their best player went down.

 

[Pariah]

Spurs would have beaten the Warriors.

Hahaha when did GS become a championship or bust team? I don't recall them guaranteeing not 1, not 2, not 3 & so on. They don't even have the highest salary in the league- Curry makes less than some starters on other teams. LOL

And you keeping up comparing the Warriors to the Heat for what? Doesn't change the fact the Warriors season is a disappointment if they don't win the title. I understand this is hard for you to comprehend

Actually, the Spurs are rarely considered a true dynasty because they were never able to repeat. Those who do refer to them as a dynasty have 5 championships over 20 years with the same coach and same main player as their argument.

Are you seriously trying to put the Warriors in the same category as the Spurs? They have 2 titles since 1975. The Spurs have 5 in 20 years.

You become a championship or bust team when you have a championship level roster and the only thing that would consider your season successful is a title. There were 4 and possibly 5 teams who met that criteria this season
