Warriors: When you don't win a championship but hang a RS banner!

[Clipper Nation]

Is that at the actual stadium? If so, huge difference.

Now, if they unfurl some 73-win banner from the arena rafters first homegame to applause from fans while taking bows, mock the out of them.

But that "banner" is stapled to a goddamn Sheetrock wall. It's been given no ceremony. Before some asshat reporter snuck a pic, nobody even knew it was there.

That's loser talk. You sound like da_suns_fan right now. I know you're better than that.

If it's not a championship or your own team's superstars' retired numbers, it's not worth a banner. There's a reason people make fun of the Clippers' selfies, the Spurs retiring Bowen and Avery's numbers, the Heat retiring Jordan and Marino's numbers, the WNBA "Attendance Champions" banners, etc.

The only difference here is that the Warriors' banner is in the practice facility. But now that the picture has spread like wildfire and everyone knows it's there, they might as well have hung it from the rafters at Oracle and had a big damn ceremony. The effect is the same.

Do you ever use words?

No i Dont

[JamStone]

It reads: "Blew a 3-1 Finals Lead"

Appears to be self-mocking and/or motivation.

Edit: I didn't notice the Photoshop. Doh I'm dumb. I thought that was cool if it were real...

That's loser talk.

"loser talk" coming from the poster who constantly cheers for his teams to lose

Do you know what a false equivalency is?

You all are re s. It's like a silver medal. It's a once in a lifetime accomplishment.

It's not like the Suns when they threw a goddamn losing in the Finals parade.

They honored the individuals that contributed to a once in a lifetime accomplishment at their goddamn practice facility. Hey didn't celebrate anything. They tributed the collective effort and dedication of a team... made possible by practice.... ya know, in that gym.

I sympathize with your meltiness pertaining to your team and how that has induced hatred in your heart of hearts about the game, but a RS record isn't like a silver medal. The WCF trophy would be the silver medal. RS record would be like destroying the existing tryout record but then taking huge Dan vs Dave level in the Olympics.

why spermfans lol when they were the ones who handing them win 70 and 73 ...fck porker pos

Fair enough. But the world record can come from any official race.

No team can win 73 postseason games. It's gotta be done in the regular season. If they set the record for most regular season wins, that's not just any old season. It's a record. And unlike track or swimming, it's one that won't be broken for a long time, because I doubt they even get to 70 wins this year, and after this year, who knows what that roster holds.

That's all this banner is; a denotation of an record-breaking accomplishment, because it is one. It's just not the big one. Hence the second class citizen/red-head stepchild treatment.

It's a noteworthy accomplishment, but that's all. It was gained by abandoning contemporary coaching sense just to chase that record, and I believe it cost them the ring.

There might have been instances where teams in the past could have done it, but chose not to so they could rest players for the playoffs. When it's a side discussion, typically teams that aren't eyeballing the le will go for it. Like in the TdF where a sprinter might try for a jersey knowing he cannot win the yellow, but he might get the green, or a climber might get the polka dot. It's a milestone on the way to the top, but it's not the summit and shouldn't be treated as such.

I wouldn't hang it anywhere except in the coach's office next to the empty trophy case for that year to remind him that RS wins mean jack if you don't win the ring, that running your star into the ground cost you a ring, that letting Draymonkey Green act a damn fool cost you a ring, that you should have squelched that chimp when he bowed up on the lockerroom against his own team.

It's 100x more important that they won the 1st round of the playoffs than the 73 win record. When people talk about the most dominant team of all time, they'll still point to the Bulls.

And that pg led teams don't win les.

Exactly, since they didn't.

[ECOV]

Good to know.

Always

[spursreport]

Yep. Iggy led the way against a depleted Cavs team. Fluky bull like that pretty much never happens. Warriors are ed in trying to ring. Lack of an alpha. One is a point guard and the other is the NBA's version of Peyton Manning.

lol great post OP (now please stop PMing me for more pics)

[Thread]

It was nice to see MJ have to take it like a trouper.

[Spurtacular]

Wow, Warriors accentuating their choke job with that banner!

They didn't burn out in the playoffs they just sustained random injuries. Literally could've happened to any team (see; 2015 playoffs). Random injuries happen, resting players in the regular season doesn't stop Curry from slipping on a wet spot or Bogut falling awkwardly.
