The Media slobbering over Warriors/Curry is starting to get annoying..

[spursistan]

Not even Lebron and Heatles have reached this pathetic level of " Media darling-ness", and I'm including the analytics types..

This ESPN stat nerd has been providing the most useless metrics/statistics on quotidian basis with regard to Curry...CROFL..Beacuse 30+ft shots are supposed to be standard playbook shots...

I agree on the 30+ ft shots being a dumbass stat to keep....

But, the "Media slobbering" is totally justified. Dude is absolutely killing it out there right now.

Steph & the Warriors are literally making NBA history... it would be silly for the media not to cover it. It doesn't bother me at all. If the Warriors break all kinds of records and the Spurs beat them in the playoffs, it'll only be sweeter...

The fuck are you talking about? The Warriors are 20 and 0 and aside from the Jazz game have been absolutely eviscerating teams. Curry is the most unstoppable player I have ever seen in my life outside of a certain Chicago Bull.

We're seeing a transcendent team doing unprecedented things right now. This is literally what sports movies and documentaries are made about down the road. To make it even more dramatic/unexpected, it's happening to a team with historically one of the worst records in basketball history.

[TD 21]

It was starting to last season; now it's full blown.

No one is suggesting it shouldn't be covered obviously, but no story should be relentlessly jammed down people's throats. I already have Warriors fatigue and they've only been at this level for a season plus.

Though increasingly common/seemingly acceptable in recent years, the national media should never come across as cheerleaders for a particular team/players.

How would you suggest the media covers a defending champion that is on an unprecedented, historic run with the greatest shooter in the history of basketball as their centerpiece?

The Warriors are playing some timeless, beautiful basketball just after winning a title. This stuff quite simply writes itself. The media will promote anything that people will read or tune into. Right now they're promoting the team that everyone is watching.

Not sure if you guys are old enough to remember the 2000 St Louis Rams. The Greatest Show on Turf got much of the same coverage. That's how it is. You can rail against it all you want but it seems a bit petulant, considering it's nothing new and also completely unavoidable. It's also happening to a team that -- hello -- completely deserves the level of praise they're getting. They're ending games by midway through the 3rd quarter right now, on a nightly basis.

Do you know why Starbucks serves 80 bazillion cups of coffee per day?

Because they appeal to people who don't care about coffee.

The NBA makes this shit for people who don't care about basketball, but they're tuning in for the show anyway.

Ridiculous? Of course. That's not the debate here. But they are marketing the product that's appealing to people who would never tune in otherwise. Lots of people would never watch MMA but got on the Ronda Rousey bandwagon, and many are on the Conor McGregor hype train as well.

It's great that Curry is getting media attention. Golden State is long overdue for some. They've had one of the greatest fan bases in the NBA for quite some time, and haven't gotten much to show for it until recently. Anything that keeps the spotlight off that faggot in Staples so he just goes away unnoticed is good for the NBA. Steph is a generational talent where shooting is concerned, so as long as the Warriors are looking like a juggernaut, Curry deserves every bit of praise he's getting, just don't forget AI and the others. He doesn't.

People won't realize what this was until it's over, but the Warriors are 20-0 the year AFTER winning a ring, WITHOUT their head coach. Chew on that.

I'm happy for their success, I like that there's a really on fire team out there the spurs can wind up against and possibly take down a notch

They're the champs and they're 20-0. They deserve the knob slobbing from the media.

They're the defending champs, they're 20-0 and Curry is dropping three-pointers like they're layups. They're on an incredible run. Do they deserve the attention they're getting? Absolutely and without question. Might as well grin and bear it.

EDIT: Come to think of it, I'd rather the Warriors got the attention at this point in the season than certain other teams like, say, the Cavaliers.

I personally think Draymond Green needs to be traded or just benched. He doesn't fit.

The attention doesn't bother me tbh... What I don't like is that they are allowed to do a lot of things like illegal screens almost every possession and nobody seems to notice. When we had the big three Sperms and everybody else were always reminding us of our special treatment by the league, specially for KG on defense.

When you learn the game of basketball we can discuss my deeper knowledge and you'll be able to contribute so it won't be a one way conversation. Until then you have some cherries to pick, get in line.

lol.. while 3 win Kobe is getting the royal treatment in the press, that's not annoying I suppose. Any time there's a story in the league, Kobe has to make some new announcement. He's either quitting, raping, coming back, leaving, throwing someone under a bus, getting a divorce, not getting a divorce, always something to pull the light back over to him. For 20 fucking years he's done this but 20 games into the season the Warriors are annoying. lol

just like how the media was all over the okc team like they were some rivalry in the making against the cheat3 team....

how quickly did these guys didnt live upto the expectations of the media shoving them down viewers throats...

now they are doing it with the warriors/curry

lets just hope the calls wont be lopsided where u know the media/league will do anything to make sure the preferred bias team advances...
remember 06 mavs, spurs couldnt win shit or when they got close to the mavs, the refs never allowed them to take the lead, same shit against that okc team the year they went to the finals, and against the heat in the finals 12/13 ...

He'll get better as the season progresses and he's no longer looking for his early exit. He knows all eyes are on him and he's going to be in the gym 24-7. Hell, he could be that thing that keeps you out of the meaningful portion of the lottery this year.

By not reminding us of this every five seconds and not plastering their faces all over their websites, all day, everyday. It's understood; it doesn't need constant repeating.

The media is stupid and never learns their lesson. The public loves this team now, but everything has a tipping point where it becomes over saturated and fatigue sets in and when this inevitably happens to them, the page views and ratings will decline with it. The fact that they're not viewed as villains also doesn't help on this front. The media is only accelerating this process.

How quickly people forget: the Spurs repeatedly ran off long streaks from '12-'14 (to a lesser extent, '11 too) where they shredded teams and had games consistently over in short order, yet it took the greatest Finals performance of all time for them to receive something close to this level of respect and it only lasted for a few months. The fact that they did it without the in their prime superstar and unprecedented luck only made it all the more impressive.

[daslicer]

Its not surprising the Warriors are getting this attention considering they have started the season with a historic run, and they have the best player in the league right now. A lot of insecurity by Spur fans considering the media has given the spurs a lot of respect since winning 5. Even when the spurs went out in round 1 the media believed the spurs would be right back in contention next season and this was before the Aldridge signing. The media right now has been hyping the spurs the last few weeks as a potential foil for the Warriors. Even with all the Kobe hype this week the media has pretty much stated unanimously that Duncan is the best player of his generation. Like I have said before since winning 5 the spurs are now playing with house money. Spurs have respect its ok just to admit that you just hate the Warriors

You're the one calling the Warriors' coverage "annoying". Duncan and Dirk will just walk away. If you think that Tim is going to announce his retirement then play an entire season, you haven't been watching Tim Duncan. Same goes for Dirk.

The Spurs never won 67 games in a season with a 10+ point average margin of victory (something that hasn't even been done 10 times in the history of the NBA) before ultimately winning the title. The Spurs never followed up said title run with a 20 game win streak where their average margin of victory was 15+ ppg.

The Spurs have never played at the level we've seen GS play at for the past 120+ games or so. It's really not up for debate. Sure they've had some dominant winning streaks (one near the end of 2014 season comes to mind, plus the end of the 2012 + sweeping Utah/LAC), but given the context of GS's current streak, none have been as impressive. If you think ESPN is oversaturating people with GS coverage that's a fair assessment, but the whole "Spurs have done this several times over the past few years and we never got our credit :cry " stuff is bullshit.

If the Spurs won 20 games in a row (again, by a ridiculous margin of victory) following a title and had a player on pace to have one of the most dominant individual seasons in NBA history, you can bet your ass they'd be getting a shit ton of coverage.

I never said the Spurs have done this specifically (too bad they never had unprecedented late game/injury luck, for and against and never pushed to win as many regular season games as possible), WarriorsFan86. I was speaking more to the way in which they play. Curry is obviously the primary difference, but there are a lot of similarities.

Bullshit. The Spurs would be getting a ton of coverage, but not this much and the media damn sure wouldn't be cheer leading for them, nor would fans of other teams like yourself (supposedly). You're a disgrace.

[SpursFan86]

I can see things for how they are. If the Spurs won 67 games with an all-time great point differential, and then won a title while playing injured opponents in the playoffs, you and other Spurs fans here wouldn't be saying shit about how they're frauds. You'd be hailing them as the greatest Spurs team ever, and talking about how dominant they were. You'd be saying "Sure, we played injured opponents in the playoffs, but look at how dominant we were in the regular season. You can only play who's in front of you."

If the Spurs followed that up with a 20 game win streak where the average margin of victory was 15 points, there'd be even more praising. People would be talking about how they have a real shot at breaking the '96 Bulls' record, and how they're one of the best teams of all-time.

But because it's a different team, you're blinded by bias and throw a bitch fit when others give them their due credit.

"You call out people's bullshit 'Warriors are frauds' arguments. You're no real Spurs fan :cry "

And for the record, I'm not cheering for GS at all :lol I was rooting hard for Toronto to beat them today. I was pissed when the Clippers choked in typical Clippers fashion the other week. I don't like hearing the media obsess over them. That doesn't mean I can't recognize their accomplishments and realize they're playing at an all-time great level.

Funny thing about all this "media" shit: Tim turns down big names for nationally televised ads. Kobe whores to everyone. Dirk also turns those down. If Chris Paul can get a spot, you know the big Fundamental could get one, in a heartbeat, because he's been the most consistent force in the league for 20 years. What company wouldn't want that as a face?

You're just another clown that lacks basic reading comprehension. Like I said: Everyone knows what they're doing and no one's saying it shouldn't be covered or praised, but it doesn't matter what the story is, there comes a point with everything where it's too much.

:lol I'm the same guy who constantly brings up the fact that Ibaka missing the first 2 games of the '14 WCF could have swung the series. Do your homework next time before you attempt to call someone out, WarriorsFan86.

:lmao At you not being a Warriors fan. I've seen you and one other poster in every single thread I've clicked on about them in the past year, repeating things the vast majority already know and defending them to no end.

Warriors play the Nets in Brooklyn tomorrow night. Nets almost beat the Dubs in Oracle. Let's see if they can get the job done at home.

That was a fluke, they're never getting close to them this time

I put some of the blame on Pop for the spurs never becoming regular season juggernauts. Yes yes they won alot of games, I know, but he micro manages the shit out of the team early and willingly takes losses tinkering. Hell he didn't even lets the arena announcer introduce the team as defending champions. Take the good with the bad I guess, we got rings, but just saying.

[DMC]

Who cares about RS juggernaut? Spurs have as many rings as the team that got the lion's share of talent in the past 20 years and were the juggernauts for 3 or more years.

Spurs-Hawks gets bumped from NBA tv in favor of Warriors-Bucks :lol

You guys should be embracing this instead of railing against it. These are the dog days of the NBA season, and the NBA in general. You have all time greats retiring and not much to fill their shoes. If you can get fan excitement for the game in December for someone like Curry then you should be all over that. Coming from me, you know that's not Curry slurping.

[DMC]

It's not good for the league when a small market team remains viable contenders for so many years in a row. It's a cool story line, but the Spurs take a slot that could otherwise be occupied by the likes of Durant/Westbrook or Harden/Howard because let's face it; NBA today is about player names, not about team names. It's "Curry and the Warriors" vs "Harden and the Rockets" or "Blake Griffin and the Clippers" against "Lebron James and the Cavs". When you look at SA, what do you say, "Kawhi and the Spurs"? "Aldridge and the Spurs"? "10ppg Tim Duncan and the Spurs"? None of that makes any sense, plus it's a small market that's jumped the shark in terms of novelty already, on a national level.

For those reasons you cannot blame a media outlet for picking a more popular matchup to show especially when casual "I've heard of Kobe" fans will tune in to see the phenom player and team try to go undefeated again.

Because the media wasn't slobbering over the Spurms when they won the title ?????


" omg slurp beautiful passing slurp Pop slurp Spurs's philosophy slurp small market team with 5th title slurp so fucking nice slurp "


:lmao Spurms fans are such hypocrites

[cjw]

Again this dude, do i really need him to match a clearly sucking Harden performances with Curry career start to play it up..the whole is thing cringe-worthy..

Kawhi would need to miss his next 49 to match Harden.

Kawhi would need to miss his next 5 to match Curry.

It only took 17 years, a historical playoff performance and the greatest Finals performance ever for them to get that praise and it lasted all of about five minutes into the following season.

Meanwhile, those arrogant punks have managed to receive equal or greater acclaim on the strength of one gift wrapped championship and one fluke start (their expected w-l record is a whopping 3 games worse than their actual record).

not even trying to hide it anymore.:lmao..they are invested in the narrative and that's, for example, how a mass media put a subtle pressure, among other things, on referee to give them nudge....they simply want the the team succeed..

They should just all get together in one spot and commit mass suicide a la Jonestown Massacre tbh.

This is an important bump because it takes away all of the fake Laker fan outrage over Spurs fans being salty about GS. The OP started the thread and Spurs fans pretty much jumped him for the take and gave all credit to GS.
