    "They're unsolvable"
    "They're beautiful"
    "They're in a different league than the rest of us"

    Man, if that doesn't prepare the guys in the locker room... I don't know what will. Btw did you guys know NASA just discovered 100 planets?

    Some of you need to look up what hypocrisy means. Pau was traded for a bag of chips. Durant was a free agent, just like LMA. If pop criticized Durant/gsw that would have been hypocritical considering we did the same with Lma a year before.

    Re: gsw praise, I think (hope!) that pop is trying to irritate his guys / lull theirs. If he goes out and says they ain't , our guys might believe it, and the dubs seem to be a very emotional team that feeds on slights. We need to play our absolute best so I'm OK with pop talking them up.

    Don't forget that Pop is going to be coaching a lot of those guys during the summers. Of course he's not going to insult them.

    That's not the point. OK, maybe the word hypocrisy wasn't the right description, but the point still stands. The trade was fair and square. It might have been lopsided, but still, the trade was done legitimately so he shouldn't have been going on about it being unfair and demanding committees being formed to stop trades like that happening.

    About your second point, you might be right about him not wanting to say anything bad about them so they don't use it as bulletin board material. The Warriors seem to use any slight against them. That's the right strategy for sure, but I just hope he's telling his players differently. I hope he's telling them we can beat them if we keep working hard and keep improving. We're not at that level yet, but we have the potential to get there.

    The same guy that was busy in' about the Pau trade while signing TOSB Kurt Thomas instead of scouting Marc.
    Yes, I think the difference is he's friends with Steve Kerr, but not Phil Jackson.
