Injuries.
Yeah neither is probably the most expected answer, but if you had to pick I'd actually go for GS even though I despise.
But I REALLY despise the Rockets and that bull chucking 50 threes a night crap.
Injuries.
The Cavs.
Case against the Golden State Warriors:
Can't stand the iness of the entire GSW organization. They stacked their roster with All-NBA talent and pretend like they have to "work hard" for their accolades. Plus somehow every player on the roster acts like an en led crybaby believing that they are fouled on every play.
Curry and Klay get the benefit of getting more open looks from illegal screens which are rarely called. Curry gets away with carrying the ball every game. This year especially the GSW are collectively playing like the league is somehow against them and so they are embracing a villainous mantra - that off-putting dynamic in and of itself is annoying.
Kerr is an arrogant jerk. He pretends to be smarter than he is - downplaying the fact that he has the most talented roster ever assembled.
Draymond Green is a instigative, bush-league thug. He plays like a ruffian and knows he can get away with it because the officials let him.
Zaza is a dirty goon.
Durant is an insecure, coward who no longer wanted to work for a championship the hard way but took the easiest path possible. Pathetic no matter how you slice it!
It's difficult to dislike former Spur David West, especially when he gave up so much to play in San Antonio. That said, he came off as a traitor when he downplayed his own ZaZa confrontation (during the period when ZaZa played for the Mavs and West for the Spurs), in order that ZaZa could save face and not be labeled as a dirty player. At that point, he fell from my grace - essentially calling Pop a liar.
Their owner (Joseph Lacob) is an arrogant, out-of-touch, delusional "everything GSW touches is gold / we deserve to win" punk.
Their only "semi-likable" players are probably Igoudala and Livingston.
Case against the Houston Rockets:
The Rockets (while still a difficult team to "like" from a Spurs fan's perspective) have a comically gimmicky coach in D'Antoni and so lately despite how well they play they will always seem less threatening because of "let's go, let's go D'Antoni".
Their incessant whining for calls gets annoying quick... especially when Harden gets treated with kid gloves...
Harden's beard is absurdly nasty at this point - can't stand seeing it on the tele. His flopping is an affront to the game.
Houston's announcers are especially annoying (Drexler is likely the most biased homer in the league... to the point of insulting the other team's players).
Chris Paul is still a super-compe ive, get-in-your-face, get-under-your-skin, type of player... while annoying to play against, it's somewhat difficult to hate him for it.
Ryan Anderson is a dirty player - especially that nut-crunching shot at Manu. He's been playing the "woe is me" card for far too long now... on account of his ex-fiancée's suicide. It irks me the wrong way.
Hard to dislike work-horse men like Ariza or Capella. Hard to dislike Eric Gordon as well.
In summary Houston's current roster has less pieces that are difficult to hate when compared against GSW... but it is still a really tough choice...
Therefore, if I had to choose between the two, I would prefer Houston humiliate the GSW. Houston has less players that are dislikable.
EDIT: had time to gather my thoughts with a bit more structure.

All seriousness. The warriors to lose.
I agree. Best scenario would be Houston takes them out and then loses to the Celtics. I say say Celtics instead of Cavs because I'm also sick of seeing Lebron in the finals.
Rockets. Hate the GSW swagger. Admired them until that Durant move. They only got him because Harrison Barnes is a fool.
They became bags during the '15-'16 season TBH which was before Durant. I remember during that season Draymond's arrogance trickled down to the rest of the team.
They drafted well and built that team, that is admirable. As annoying I find Draymond, I’d love to have him on my team.
I wouldn't. He would be garbage on the Spurs. His shooting is garbage and his defense is reliant on the refs allowing him to foul guys on every possession. No way he's allowed to do that on the Spurs. Pretty weird you hate GSW's swagger but like Draymond considering Draymond is the reason why they have that swagger.
whoever comes out the East
Guys here wouldn't take Green over Kyle Anderson who is basically a homeless man with AIDS version of Draymond.
I would take Dejuan Blair over Green.Guys here wouldn't take Green over Kyle Anderson who is basically a homeless man with AIDS version of Draymond.
So you're against yelling and cussing but not running off with 30 grand worth of jewelry.
Alright then.
I think Draymond would be as good as Dejuan was in SA. His defense would be just as bad as Dejuan's was since the refs would not allow him to get way with fouling on defense like he's allowed to in Golden State.
Meanwhile, DeJaun is getting traded for fourth round picks in the G-League.
Pretty much he's trash much like Draymond would be if he was on regular team like the Hornets.Meanwhile, DeJaun is getting traded for fourth round picks in the G-League.
Goes to show how long a guy with no ACLs lasts in the NBA.Meanwhile, DeJaun is getting traded for fourth round picks in the G-League.
Arguing DeJaun over Draymond.
He lasted longer than I thought he would, tbh. 4 productive seasons was as much as you could hope for.
But would you take him over Draymond?
I hope you make game threads in both of their forums
I think both are garbage but you could't tell that. If you check an old thread "Raymond is overrated AF" you would see my reasoning for why I think Draymond is trash. But I'm not going to waste my time beating a dead horse that I have debated a bunch of times with other posters in here.Arguing DeJaun over Draymond.
I'd root for Kim Jong Un to get a bunch of his missiles over here tbh
I never actually said the Thunder "surpassed the Spurs", but go ahead and equate that to saying you would rather have a guy with no ACLs who isn't even in the league anymore over a clearly superior player just because heI think both are garbage but you could't tell that.
