Warriors 2.0: from Showtime Lakers to the Spurs

[msgkings322]

Urban Sashimi deflecting by attacking Lebron. That's a low class move even for you. Curry's injury was a weak excuse. Lebron had 2 of his best teammates get injured in the finals, it's a legit reason to put an asterisk on that finals.

We puttin' an asterisk on the 2019 Finals too then or nah?

Yes. TBH, the W's win it even without Durant but Klay's injuries really hurt.

Or maybe we should not use an asterix for any of them? Every championship involves some luck, and usually one team is more healthy than the other. They all count, the banners get hung and the books say who won. Anyone remember all the injuries that affected the Finals in the 1980s? Me neither.

Why do GS fans claim that Curry was hurt during the Finals then?

Because he was playing well less than 100%

Just as any respectable athlete would do in the playoffs.

You acting like the Warriors are pushing their guys to return before they should. There is little no evidence of that and plenty to the contrary where they made guys sit out longer than they wanted to.

Nah, an asterisk is just there to denote significant factors involved with the championship that provides context.

They are pushing, you just refuse to look at the evidence. Did you read the article Lebron23James posted? You just admitted Curry wasn't 100%. Do you read your own posts?

There is a big difference between a player coming back because he wants to play

And being pushed to come back, which is what you are saying.

And I try not to read any of the drivel that clown posts.

OK, so this decade alone I think we can put asterisks on 2019, 2016, 2015, and I'm not going back further.

Asterisks are stupid.

Teams in general always push players to comeback early. Look at Kawhi in San Antonio. GS is no different. GS is high profile right now because they were in the finals and they were scared of losing the Championship.

2016 doesn't have an asterisk. It has to be something significant.

No understanding context is stupid?

Needing an asterix to understand context is stupid.

That just isn’t true.

Why would Durant come out and say the Warriors did not push him to come back if they did?

He does not even play for them anymore. No reason for him to cover.

It's just there to alert fans of significant circumstance that could have impact on the outcome, so when you are rating players and teams, you have important information that you can factor in. Seems valuable to me.

They are retiring his jersey and it's just good for his image to not look like a pussy who can't make his own decisions.

Meh, but I see your point

You have your narrative, we have the truth. You aren't convincing anyone that doesn't already agree with you.

Not a baseball fan I guess. That's Buster Posey.
