Warriors: 38/8/8

[HarlemHeat37]

It's crazy how he's the 2nd or 3rd best in the league, yet Curry still draws more attention from the opposing defense, tbh..historically stacked team..

[LkrFan]

Spurs had them down 23, then let them off the hook 4 straight times, just like that!

And you let them off the hook 5 years in a row. Check that, I don't think you even had a fishing pole, I think you were using a beer can and some old monofilament you found in the trash can, with no license.

Kawhi MVP tbh

[TheCultOfPersonality]

And people thought they gave up way too much to get Durant.

[Clipper Nation]

Those stats came off wide-open shots created by the sheer amount of defensive attention that Curry is drawing. Durbeta is literally thumping his chest and bragging about the equivalent of shooting in an empty gym.

"Alpha"... a real "alpha" would have finished off the Warriors with a 3-1 lead last year, not choked, quit, and joined them in the offseason.

If he was playing checkers, sure. He's playing chess. He joined and cucked the b2b MVP who beat him. He's going to take the Finals MVP from him. He couldn't have done that in OKC. This time next year it will be "Steph who?".

There are several of those threads upstairs from earlier in the season, tbh

Harrison Barnes and Bogut some people even mentioned Barbosa

Don't forget Festus!

He's playing pick-up ball against grade schoolers and bragging when he doesn't let them get a shot off.

[DAF86]

It would be a travesty if he gets finals MVP, tbh.

Championship is a given, but if he also wins individual silverware it would be too much prize for such a chicken move. Smart for sure, but chicken , tbh.

[Bynumite]

The San Antonio Cavs bandwagon wanted a generational superstar like Durant to waste his prime getting chucked out of the playoffs season after season by Westbrick.

Dumbasses

[hitmanyr2k]

Like I said before, if Durant stays aggressive and does this all series it's going to squash some of that criticism, especially if Klay's shot remains MIA and Draymond Green plays like the typical 4th option. Durant's play set the tone tonight and he out-shined everyone else on the floor.

you've been thinking that for years

he's playing the defending champs who have three franchise players in the starting lineup. Meanwhile KD and Curry are the only franchise players for the Warriors. Why is Irving and Lebron with Kevin Love somehow at a disadvantage talent-wise? Lebron is the best player since Mike. Irving has the best handles in the league, 1st overall draft pick, Uncle Drew and all.. while Kevin Love won a gold medal, was the face of the franchise in Minnesota and stat padded for years. Then you have another 1st overall draft pick in Tristan Thompson in the center, getting destroyed. Once you a fat Kardashian you never recover. Look what it did to Lamar and Harden. Look what it did to Reggie Bush and Kanye West and Kris Humphries who was bound for glory.

Who is on the Warriors that is so dominant? The beta Durant? Curry the chucker? Can't be Klay, did he make a shot tonight? David West? Zaza?

OH I know, they moved the ball while Lebron et al played iso-hero ball, a regression to the 4th year Heat days.

Chicken breast , and salad ... my

Are you actually implying that Kyrie and Love are franchise players? They couldn't even make the playoffs once as The Guy on their teams. Even playing together, they're 4-12 when LeBron's not there to carry them. They don't even deserve to be all-stars, let alone considered franchise players.

Meanwhile KD and Curry are the only franchise players for the Warriors.

So that's two franchise players to the Cavs' one. They also have a better overall starting lineup and more depth.

Why is Irving and Lebron with Kevin Love somehow at a disadvantage talent-wise?

Irving and Love are fake stars and the rest of the roster blows chunks. That's why. One player isn't beating this Warriors team all by themselves, I don't care who they are.

Irving has the best handles in the league

No wonder you were vouching for Jamal Crawford over Manu in that other thread. I guess flashy AND1 dribble moves really are more important to you than fundamentals, shot selection or defense.

1st overall draft pick

So was Anthony Bennett.

Kevin Love won a gold medal, was the face of the franchise in Minnesota and stat padded for years.

How many playoff appearances? How many actual NBA accomplishments did he have in Minnesota, not Olympic medals that he was carried to by stacked teams against third-world countries?

Then you have another 1st overall draft pick in Tristan Thompson in the center, getting destroyed.

Oh really? Which year was Thompson drafted first overall? I'll wait.

[DAF86]

I told you I don't dance for you.

There are only a handful of real franchise players in the NBA. These are people you can build your franchise around for the foreseeable future and have good success. I don't think an organization as savvy as the Spurs took a guy who would fit that bill and put him as a 6th man for years. I trust Pop's IQ and decision making more than that. It doesn't mean Manu wasn't a great player, but some of you are narrowing down to a fine point and altering the meaning of the term "franchise player".

If you consider that Tim was the cog on the Spurs, then Manu was the cog off the bench. So in that sense Manu was a franchise player since the bench was consistently built with up-tempo offense that suits Manu's playing style. It's not the same (philo) to say he was part of the franchise big 3 and to say he could have been THE franchise guy on another team.

Could Manu have been the best player on a good team? Sure.

Thank Christ. Otherwise, I'm sittin' here, in my hand.
