Seeing Lakers fans complain about the Warriors dominance is hilarious as well.

Y'all witnessed your team go 16-1....and 3PEAT with 2 top 5-10 players of all time and Phil Jackson at the helm. I know y'all ain't think it was boring then

.

I'm enjoying the hell out of this Warriors dominance. This was one of the least winning franchises in sports for 40years....and they made an unexpected leap to greatness.

Just sit back and watch history play out.

Realistically though other than the year they went 16-1, there was some pretty solid competition out west during those years.  This year their has been no competition at all from either conferences.  The Warriors are extremely fun to watch and I have no problems with them winning, I would just like to see a couple closer games.  When is the last time KD, Steph, Klay, Lebron, Love, and Kyrie were on the floor for the last 2 minutes of the fourth?

It will be tied up 2-2 come. Friday night

edit nevermind they changed the schedule

[thread="662917"]Let me get this straight...[/thread]
[thread="662917"] [/thread]
[thread="662917"]It's ok if a team is dominating the league and there's no "parity"...just as long as it isn't Golden State...because you all are salty about KD?  [/thread]
[thread="662917"] [/thread]
[thread="662917"]Was it "boring" when MJ and the Bulls had the league in a chokehold?  [/thread]

Not the same bro.... Jordan didn't team up with the Pistons in the late 80s. (Did I do that right?)

 

[P C H]

 
we do if the guy we hate is winning 

It's just not a big deal to me personally, honestly. At least not anymore.

At the end of the day, it is what it is. I haven't read all the post in here about parity and competitiveness, but i'm assuming someone mentioned it. There's just been so many periods in the NBA where one or a couple of teams have dominated that, this is what the NBA is. It's silly to think the NBA needs parity. No such thing.

Warriors didn't need KD to win. They already won without KD.

This is also funny to hear how multiple narratives are built on this.

2015 - "They only won because Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving were injured"

2016 - "73-9 and no ring....choked 3-1...biggest frauds of all time

KD comes to town = "They were already a championship team and didn't need KD"

Realest post in here.

Im a huge MJ fan... I always used this when it comes to Jordan. How impressive is that 6-0 Finals record?

 

[LebronHasMoreFinalsMVPs]

Repeat history cavs in 7. They have no choice but to fall on KDs leg literally no choice.

 

[kdslittlebro]

If kd just followed LeBron, doesn't that make him even more of a sucker in a Bron haters eyes?

 

[squatchnt]

GS was smart. They didn't want to risk the western conference to OKC or losing to the Cavs again. 1 move solved their problems.

 

[antidope]

Damn Bovada has the Warriors as just 3pt favorites for game 3. I know they're on the road but sheesh. It's worth some bread to throw down at those odds.

That's ridiculous. Cavs are gonna get dragged.

He's GOAT! He didn't need to recruit anybody and he didn't need to join anybody.

 

[noblekane]

oh they needed kd

without kd's 30 + points so far it would be alot different

you think harrison barnes was gonna get 38 and 33 points and average 11 boards and be a defensive presence in the paint when need be?

barnes wasnt gonna bail steph out when steph gets cold and start passing like hes blind

barnes wasnt gonna bail klay out when klay starts thinking missing a shot equals 4 points

When the guy talked about in the same breath as the GOAT has done it already....the precedent is set.

Why does KD have to live with not playing with as much talent as possible if LeBron doesn't.

You need talent to win in the NBA. Get it how you live. That's what the lesson is. And it's always been.

Bron is a trendsetter and trailblazer for the league. I mean, let's not forget the post 2010 free agency of all the star players around the league. They all wanted to go to big markets and form "their own" big 3. Word to that toast at Melos wedding that summer after the decision.

Yeah I'm sure the line will move a bit by wednesday, but it's definitely a shocker

Indeed.

This year both teams cake walked to finals. Both teams were well rested. Both teams healthy. Both teams stacked. Warriors won it in 2015, Cavs won it in 2016. Now we're in 2017.

No excuses. No excuses. 2 more to go. Go Warriors!!!

Realest post in here.

don't forget the" they are the luckiest team in nba history "
" if only Jrue holiday, Mike conley and Beverly weren't injured "

So both moves are slander-proof then? They did what they had to do

 

[Based Jesus]

KD aint have an hour long special just to announce where he was going. KD wasn't celebrating multiple championships before winning one.

KD aint act like a ***** *** ***** after stacking the deck in his favor and still not managing to get it done in the finals.

 

[noblekane]
