Not at all I hope he never stops posting, he's a silly clown and brings us all joy

I'm not sure about that joy part, but he isn't the worst one in here by any means. I can think of two that are much worse

Can't speak for everyone but he never stops providing opportunities for me to laugh at him and pwn him as the kids say

And created one of the greatest teams in history for our enjoyment. And specifically to stop LeBron. If Kyrie misses that shot, KD doesn't even come to the Ws.

You sure about that?

I'm not. There is a chance KD would have gone anyway.

Warriors with, imo, the best defensive game they’ve played all year. Collectively as a team they were active, engaged and intelligent in the way they defended.

Need to give a special shout to Looney. He was fantastic defending on the perimeter. CP3 kept switching on to him and tried to attack Looney but rarely got anything. He had probably the best 2 point, 4 rebound game you’ll ever see.

Hopefully they can repeat this type of effort game 2.

Yeah, KD on Harden was genius too. I didn't like it at first, but it almost totally negated Capella on the roll unless they got a preswitch to get Curry on Harden.

From what I have seen and heard, Irving left because he didn't want to play with LeBron any more - the dude doesn't defer enough for his satisfaction. It's actually a common complaint that I used to hear about Kobe Bryant as well

My quote was about KD going to GS. I think there is a pretty good chance he would have made the same call even if the Dubs had won.

Let's be honest. Every objective poster here knows the 73 win Warriors were the best team in the league when 100%. That is why people were upset when KD went there. Had they won that title, it only would have been marginally more upsetting.

Much smaller chance IMO, would the Dubs really have wanted to break up a repeat champion? But sure hypotheticals are always fun

well I mean it's not like KD is an unknown. He was already known for good habits & to be a good team mate so I think it would've been a no brainer even if they had won.

That's a bit high, some of us like being family dudes. And others are straight women.

Shit, I'd probably bang a couple of them if it was 15 years ago and I was in Vegas.

Guess that makes me slightly curved?

I'm a chorizo fan. But, most of his conquests have been 9's and above.

I do to myself about both players. I think Kevin Durant saw that he would never win another championship in Oklahoma and decided to leave. I doubt that he had anything against Westbrook - but he wanted to win. That wasn't going to happen in Oklahoma.

Irving - just flat out matured like Kobe Bryant and wanted to move to be his own man - he was tired of playing second fiddle to LeBron - LeBron tries to do everything and everyone else are left to hope they get some shots. I actually think Cleveland had a really decent point guard with Isaiah Thomas if they had let him do his job and there is the problem. I don't think Jordan Clarkson or Nance Jr are players good enough to help win a championship - It's about LeBron doing it all and if he can do it all. I don't think he can

The matchup everyone has been waiting for.

Everyone?

 

[Montalban]

My thoughts exactly. Not really sure why you still bother to come here.

I run the joint. Someone has to keep the novices like yourself straight.

Rockets were fired up last night - and still got an ass whipping

I think they thought home court advantage would carry the day. They'll be ready tomorrow after the embarrassment they took last night. Add that to the fact that the Warriors will have a let down tomorrow and I think Houston will get the win. I think the Warriors are probably already thinking "mission accomplished" by taking back HC advantage so Kerr will have his work cut out for him getting them mentally prepared.

 

[Montalban]

Do you just work at being stupid? How do you say tonight and then say tomorrow while talking about the same game???

I forgot who I was talking to; you being mentally challenged and all. I'll try and dumb it down for you next time.

To essentially trade Harrison Barnes for the 2nd best player in the NBA?

Yes, they would have.

You're fantasizing now - But the Rockets will get one win - The Warriors have done what they needed to do - they have stolen home court advantage

We'll never know

Agreed. Two maybe. But the most logical choice for their one win would be game two in my opinion. They know if they drop to oh 2 they are finished.

You calling someone a mental midget? Now that's funny.
