Gs is not humble

[tonight...you]

Nor do they need to be until beaten.
It does make beating them that much sweeter though...

[GSH]

"Narcissus died admiring his own reflection, and if the Warriors keep swallowing their own compliments, they just might do the same."


LOL What does that even mean? That the Warriors might lose because they aren't humble? They won 73 games, they don't have to be humble if they don't want to.

Beating a loudmouth always adds a little extra satisfaction. I'm sure the Spurs will taste a little of that satisfaction if they beat GS in the WCF. I'm certain everyone here will remember ever jackass thing they said along the way, if that happens. But I don't think their arrogance will make them any easier to beat.

Not busting your chops for posting it, Ducks. it just sounds like a little sour grapes from the author. Hell, a lot of people like them BECAUSE of their swagger.

[DarrinS]

I know it doesn't come from Kerr.

[Obstructed_View]

They're pretty goddamn good. If you want to humble them, you gotta beat them.

[DarrinS]

They're young and extremely good, so it is what it is.

Not all of their players run around flexing tho. For example, some of their bench players.

[DarrinS]

I think is mostly Steph and Raymond, tbh

[BillMc]

But I don't think their arrogance will make them any easier to beat.

In the short run you're right. (Unless they don't take the opponent seriously and fail to prepare but I know Kerr wouldn't allow that). But, long term, hubris is a weakness and it has derailed many a dynasty. Ask Kobe and Shaq. Ask Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones. We already see little signs of tugs of war over the credit and they've only won one title. Throw in the fact that as Charles Barkley says, a jumping shooting team has to be perfectly tuned to win, and this long term success of the warriors may not having staying power at all. Someone will solve them. It wouldn't surprise me if it is us.

We'll see.

[DarrinS]

And Iggy putting down the Rockets in that video? They deserve it.

[DarrinS]

I kinda like having an arrogant rival. Adds to the pleasure of beating them.

Definitely. I so hope this team steamrolls to the WCF and face those punk Warriors.
And I truly hope Pop has some tricks up his sleeve going in.

Steph didn't become cocky until Draymond sort of pushed him to not only do it but embrace it tbh...

People hated LeBron...Not 1..Not 2...Not 3 etc.

But also I think people respected LeBron back then due to him being dominant on both ends of the court and his dominant performances during his first Cleveland stint.

Warriors have it easy right now..the media is obsessed and they've had luck on their side with injuries until maybe now but eventually things will get tough and if they handle adversity well great but the media can turn on you real fast lol

draymond does give spurs some props to spurs longevity 27 minute mark.

but he also thinks they only had 4 losses they truly lost this season :lol

[SouthernFried]

Arrogance is a character flaw. It is a weakness that can be exploited.

Also, do you play harder against assholes...or really nice guys?

Honestly, I think the Spurs, in game one against the Warriors, were playing too hard. They were overplaying everything.
Curry had Kawhi on skates a couple times because he was over-anticipating.

I can see it happening in a game, or two in a series, if they meet up, but I hope not.
This team plays exponentially better when they're relaxed. Not high and tight like a team like the Warriors can make teams be with their God-like offense (at times) and very good defense.

The big plus is that, even in defeat, they were able to hold their ground against the Warriors and put them into "the grind" for multiple games, slowing that offense and even halting it for periods.
That bodes well.

I'm not in that group, cause I've generally always liked LeBron... but for me, LeBron was never cocky enough. It's always been half-assed, or just boringly smug. Not just blatant, in your face, I'm the best, come and take it, suck my dick brashness. Real shit. LeBron was actually good enough to be that way.

I can't stand the warriors arrogance cause it's still undeserved imo. They still haven't beaten anybody good in the playoffs, ever. They're also all a bunch of fake ass snakes. "Oh, we're just pumped up, we're not taunting in anybody's face. We're good guys." Bullshit.... I think they're a gimmick that's gonna get that ass waxed and humbled real soon. Doubt they even make it to us tbh. Clips lookin good.

Were the Bulls humble? No

Were the Lakers humble?? Hell nah

What a crybaby that writer. Worriers are great and Eliancito is a great human being

And Iggy putting down the Rockets in that video? They deserve it.

I think he went easy on them. That team fucking sucks. They don't even try to rotate on defense and their offense is even worse. They got a gift from god in having the Warriors in Oakland without Curry and they went back to their big lineup, tried to feature their power forward in the post against the Dubs' best defender and then added heavy doses of Jason Terry and Michael Beasley. SMFH

Those losers had that game last night, and they just couldn't get out of their own way long enough to do it. Mental midgets.

They're going to get blown up like the JailBlazers team, and a lot of them are going to have to sign for a discount with the next team.

Yeah, that team is totally disfunctional. Starts with having terrible character guys. Dwight already gave up. Harden can't play if he doesn't get 20 FT per night and his defense is laughable. Even our worst defenders TRY to play defense.

Yeah, they look like they want their season to be over. Lol, firing McHale. And Harden running the offense? It doesn't even look like they're running plays.

They are douchebags but I'm not going to focus my attention on them until the Spurs have to play them.

I've never understood this line of thinking. There is no excuse for their arrogance. What's worse, in the grand scheme of things, they've accomplished a mere fraction of what the Spurs have, yet you'd never see the Spurs acting/boasting like they do. I know the Spurs are an exception to many things in sports, but still. They're a disgrace and if they were an ounce of objectivity left in the media, they'd be called out for it a lot more.

Because only losers whine about someone who's better than they are for being arrogant. If you don't like Floyd Mayweather, then fucking knock his bitch ass out, but if he tells you how good he is and nobody can beat him, you just have to suck on it.

Just curious how do you react in a pickup game where the guy your guarding is kicking your ass and taunting you on every possession and is just hundred notches more talented than you? Do you take it up the ass simply because the guy is better than you. Your logic is retard considering they are people you are going to encounter in life that are just superior talent wise and there is just nothing you can do about it. I just don't believe the typical crap if someones better than you they have the right to rub it in. To me that's just being subservient to bullying.

By your logic Michael Jordan and the bulls were whiners because they complained about the Piston's dirty play and being classless. I guess those bulls teams that won 6 titles were losers.

[lilbthebasedgod]

Sounds like they're just honest with themselves and not lying that they aren't by far the best.

You can always quit and go home. And if it's your ball, you can take it and fuck up the whole game.
You can nut-punch him, like Ratface Jason Terry, and try to take him out of the game.
Or you can work your ass off and try to get good enough to beat him.

But bitching and whining about his attitude won't change a damned thing that happens on the floor. How the Warriors act isn't my cup of tea - I hate those arrogant pricks, and if the Spurs beat them it will be that much sweeter. But the truth is, that attitude is part of the reason they shoot the way they do. Any shooting coach will tell you that confidence is a factor, and those fuckers are seriously confident. Every time they put one up, they expect it to go in. Danny Green could use some of that.

Personally I have never respected arrogant people. I have gotten in fights with people like that in the past in games as a youngster. If I was a player I go right at them and give them hard fouls and play with nastyness like Pop would say. The thing is I don't play for the spurs and this is a message board so don't knock people for hating the warriors douchebag attitude. There is nothing we can do as fans but watch.

[99 Problems]

You'd think they had won 10 championships in a row the way they act.

He's just as bad. He's fake humble, which makes it worse.

That last inbound with 1 second left is one of the stupidest fucking things I've ever seen on a basketball court. He chucked that ball right down toward the Warriors' basket, and it came within an inch of being picked off for a dunk, and losing the game. One second left, fuckwits. You don't care if they catch it on the opposite end of the floor.

And did you see Draymond with the WWF takedown on Beasley on that inbound, and the fucking zebras STILL wouldn't call it? He grabbed him with both arms around the waist and spun him to the floor, right out in the open. They did their best to give GS a chance to win it.

[ElNono]

They're pretty goddamn good. If you want to humble them, you gotta beat them.

We'll if we're talking about longevity of excellence, we have them beat by a country mile. Their success is fairly recent.

That's why I have no problem with them gloating about their current team. But when the owner gloats about how he figured everything out and they're so far ahead structurally from any other team... well, he needs another 13 years of excellence to actually sell that point.

Kerr's face was priceless. Draymond kind of deserved it after all the trash talk before the game; how they can't be beaten and teams should find a way to beat them instead of complaining about moving screens.
Kerr is not used to losing, his entire career he has been winning, this must be a shock to his system. This is only their 10th loss of the year.

About them not being humble, what do you expect, it's starts from the top. Their owner is an arrogant prick who thinks he created the world and planned every single thing by himself. If it wasn't for Steph Curry's unbelievable shooting touch and range which catapulted him into superstardom, that team wouldn't go anywhere. They don't respect other teams. Bogut and Draymond are dirty players too. What Bogut did during the game tonight and Draymond at the end was reckless.

GS wins the next 2 games to finish the series with or without Curry.

[MoSpur]

This team is very arrogant starting with Curry and Green. Thompson is also very arrogant. That guy doesn't like to give credit to any other team when they got beat. His answer basically was that they had an off night. Its all good though. They're young and on a high.

It wasn't a surprise to see Curry get hurt in the playoffs -- he was due, sadly enough, the whole team was due. It's their incredible good fortune it happened against one of the shittiest playoff teams to ever come down the pipe. They'll have no problems winning in five or six.

He chucked that ball right down toward the Warriors' basket, and it came within an inch of being picked off for a dunk, and losing the game. One second left, fuckwits. You don't care if they catch it on the opposite end of the floor.

And did you see Draymond with the WWF takedown on Beasley on that inbound, and the fucking zebras STILL wouldn't call it? He grabbed him with both arms around the waist and spun him to the floor, right out in the open. They did their best to give GS a chance to win it.

Yeah, noticed that too! It was like the entire rockets team was trying to lose! The comment out there was that when Harden made the crucial shot for the lead, only one of the Rocket players were celebrating the game!

In the previous play, Rockets had the ball but passed it in traffic where the Dubs were able to fast break for a layup.

There is something suspicious about the Rockets play. Like they were deliberately playing to lose!

Hey look, NBA reports Harden should have gotten an offensive foul called on the game winning shot.

I agree, but how many times stuff like that happens and it's ok for them?

[TD 21]

Because only losers whine about someone who's better than they are for being arrogant. If you don't like Floyd Mayweather, then fucking knock his bitch ass out, but if he tells you how good he is and nobody can beat him, you just have to suck on it.

I'm not complaining; I'm just saying, their success does not excuse their behavior.

After seeing Draymonds take down last night, my first thought was the NBA was going to come out and say the Harden push off should've been called. :lol

Just curious how do you react in a pickup game where the guy your guarding is kicking your ass and taunting you on every possession and is just hundred notches more talented than you? Do you take it up the ass simply because the guy is better than you. Your logic is retard considering they are people you are going to encounter in life that are just superior talent wise and there is just nothing you can do about it. I just don't believe the typical crap if someones better than you they have the right to rub it in. To me that's just being subservient to bullying.
Well none of those things are actually happening. The Warriors aren't taunting the Spurs while kicking their ass, and they aren't a hundred notches more talented. The Spurs need to play well as a team and if they want to stop the Warriors from feeling like, and saying that they are, the best team in the world, then the Spurs need to beat them. Period. I'm a little bit over a hundred percent sure that what the Warriors say bothers you far more than it bothers the Spurs.

As for me, there was a new kid at my school. He was a year younger than I was. The first day on the football field, he caught the ball and ran away from me. I was pretty fast, and I could not catch him. He slowed down to just stay out of my reach all the way until he scored. He was not taunting me. I fucking creamed him in the end zone. It was shitty of me to do, and we later became friends so I had a chance to apologize. What you might do to someone in a pickup game isn't the same as what you'd do in the NBA, where there have been rules about taunting for about two decades.


By your logic Michael Jordan and the bulls were whiners because they complained about the Piston's dirty play and being classless. I guess those bulls teams that won 6 titles were losers.

Wow, your strawman game is tight today. Jordan and the Bulls never stopped going into the paint. They didn't just complain and whine. They had to go through not only the Pistons, but the Sixers who had Barkley and Mahorn, and were just as likely to give a hard foul as the Pistons were. Barkley always called Jordan soft up until Jordan started kicking his ass. Took them four fucking tries to finally get past Detroit. The Bulls got up, went to the line, went back and drew another foul, and eventually swept the Pistons out of the playoffs. When the Pistons left the court and didn't congratulate the Bulls, they showed the world how classless they were. THAT is how you beat a bully.

[Obstructed_View]

We'll if we're talking about longevity of excellence, we have them beat by a country mile. Their success is fairly recent.

That's why I have no problem with them gloating about their current team. But when the owner gloats about how he figured everything out and they're so far ahead structurally from any other team... well, he needs another 13 years of excellence to actually sell that point.

Their owner is an idiot, and we've already covered that. He actually took credit for Stef Curry and then had to call him before the article came out to explain what he'd done. That's beyond Sarver/Cuban level idiocy. I certainly agree that we'll believe in his long-term plan when they have success that isn't based on one player's impossible shooting.

And it's nice that if the Spurs get booted out of the playoffs for the next several years by the Warriors that we have the past to cling to, but that's not likely to shut up the Warriors fans. Ask Lakers fans how much success they've had going to that well.

[Obstructed_View]

I'm not complaining; I'm just saying, their success does not excuse their behavior.

I don't think their behavior is all that inexcusable. They aren't really fueled by hubris as the article states, they're just brimming with confidence. And why shouldn't they be? Their run has been amazing. The last team that was this dominant was the 2007 Mavericks. But that run ended too. Chances are someone's gotta beat them first, though. Not going to have Curry go Kobe Bryant and destroy the team from within.

Jordan complained a bunch of times about the Pistons being dirty before winning against them. So when he was losing he was whiner by your definition? First off I never said the Warriors are a hundred notches better than the Spurs. That was simply a scenario gave to assess the type of person you are. I simply don't respect people who allow themselves to submit to being bullied by a superior opponent. You struck me as that type of guy with your retard logic earlier. Also the Warriors have shown disrespect towards the Spurs. Draymond and CO talked a lot of shit after the spurs only win against them this year by discrediting it in as many ways as possible. Also what the Warriors say doesn't bother me I'm not thinking about them 24/7 but I will call a spade for a spade. They are bunch of douchebags whose leader is a glorified role player that is a front runner and I will leave it at that. I don't respect arrogant people regardless of how successful they are that's just how I'm wired.

That's also something that losers do. The Spurs need to beat their ass.

[DMC]

GS doesn't need to be humble. They are champs. Beat them and you can be as humble as you want.

[DMC]

You'd think they had won 10 championships in a row the way they act.
Quite the opposite. Did Manning dance after he won the Superbowl? Did he act a fool? No. He's been there. Spurs have been there, didn't need to act a fool. Guys that have been there over and over don't treat it like they just won the lottery. Warriors fought year after year trying to overcome Mark Jackson's shitty system and Kerr comes along and they do. It has to feel cathartic for them so they deserve to feel good about themselves. If they win again this year you'll begin to see cracks in the seams next year as role guys gain a voice and we'll see how they hold up. Either way, they are an historically great team for this era and style of play. They'll mellow out when it's no longer a novelty for them to win.

Manning didn't even dance after he had won his first superbowl so your point is mute. Some people act like douchebags when they win and others don't it really depends on the type of person you are.

I'm pretty much with you, DA. I'll always been an opposer to arrogance.

If anyone here thinks it's OK to take it up the ass if someone is much more talented than you, then I don't know what to say as I don't agree with that approach. Sure, you can keep working hard and try to get to their level and beat them to shut them up, but that might not ever happen. So does that mean you keep taking it? I don't agree with that logic about them being able to say and do what they want until they are beaten.

Draymond after Warriors' Game 3 loss: 'We'll win' Game 4

[houston spurs fan]

How lucky are these fuckers going to get??? Last year it was no Spurs, no OKC, no (healthy) Clippers, and a Kyrie injured Cavs team. This year they are playing fucking Portland in the semis while Curry nurses back to health. Kawhi and the boys are coming for you...

[spurraider21]

seriously! they're so lucky that their best player has been out for 5 playoff games!

[houston spurs fan]

seriously! they're so lucky that their best player has been out for 5 playoff games!
Doesn't matter when you play the Blazers in round 2. If Kawhi was out we'd still sweep them
