Warriors owner Joe Lacob:

We've crushed [the league] on the basketball court, and we're going to for years because of the way we've built this team. We're light-years ahead of probably every other team in structure, in planning, in how we're going to go about things. It's not just Steph Curry. It's architecting a team, a style of play, the way they all play together. It's all extremely thought through.

I believe you are correct on that one.

Any more hot takes on the Warriors not being able to win without Curry in this series?

Warriors owner Joe Lacob:

Joe's a bit pompous, that's for sure.

But he's a great owner and from day 1 was dedicated to putting a great team together and a quality product on the court for the fans. I'll never doubt his willingness to do what it takes to produce a winner.

I'm guessing he'll have more ready to go if the Warriors decide to sit Curry game 3.

 

[Mecca]

Yep. Just ask the Clippers.

Didn't you already use this one yesterday?

Houston plays no defense especially "fear the beard". Like he is absolutely awful at defense, it's pitiful

That Draymond Green spin move defined Harden's defense in a nutshell.

Or his spectacular effort in trying to get back in transition to prevent a layup by Klay.

Yeah, it was probably mostly me and my slowly building distaste/fear of the warriors.

Curry doing that dance pointing Howard to the bench when he fouled out came off bad to me, but mostly they were just hyped up about good plays which is understandable.

I thought it was wonderful and funny all wrapped up in one.

 

[LAD]

They can do whatever they want. There's just something about the warriors on-court conduct that seem extra obnoxious... but that's probably mostly, if not all, on me. The result of my own fatigue for their success.

It's only irritating because they win so much & your team gets a lot of criticism and is constantly compared to them. I understand the distaste.

Gotta disagree. The Dubs are all about the team as opposed to say Lebron James and James Hardin.

My only guarantees were that Curry would not play in game two and that if he was out for the entire series, they would not win the series.

Sometimes you have to drill youir point into people's heads in order for them to understand what you are saying.

Ummmmm.....

LOL! With Curry missing at least Monday's game, the Rockets will win that one and if Curry is out longer they'll win those games as well.

Guaranteed he sits on Monday. They lose for sure without him but with 5 days rest he could be back for game 3 and they'll then win the series. My guess though is he is done for at least this series. That ankle has always been trouble.

We'll see come Monday. Without Curry the Warriors lose a close one.

Someone needs to slap Harden upside the head. Does he not realize how pathetic he looks on the basketball court?

After having to endure the Cohan years, I, for one, am very glad we have Lacob as an owner.

 

[OutlawImmortal]

The Warriors are good enough to beat Houston even without Curry, which is saying a lot.

 

[Montalban]

Ummmmm.....

Tough to argue those quotes. Surprised you didn't include the "Guarantee Curry won't play" quote. But then again, this is you we are talking about.

Harden is tough. How players are stupid enough to continue to stick their hands out so he can jump into them and get three foul shots is beyond me.

Oh he's a great offensive player but his demeanor and defensive effort is terrible. At least act like you care about something. Dude looks like he'd rather be anywhere but the basketball court sometimes.
