Sure, but I also want there to be more than one team that plays like that.

The difference being that GS drafted the majority of their star players (Curry, Green, Thompson). Miami just broke out the checkbook while some jackass had an entire show created to inform the public of his “decision”.

Is there a reason why the Warriors’ current destruction of the Cavs is somehow more boring and more detrimental to the health of the league than LeBron’s 7-year dominance of the East has been? Because I don’t remember seeing similar articles when he was chewing up the Raptors and Celtics.

God damn all of you are salty as hell. Ever since the Deadspin collective sans Draper decided to shit on the Warriors every opportunity you got about a year and a half ago you’ve been spinning everything to let the hatred flow. Now 2015 was on the back of Cleveland’s injuries. 2016 was because the Cavaliers were just…

the attitude of performative boredom

But the thing is, if you’re not a Golden State Warriors fan—or, hell, even if you are one—and you claim that the blowout part of last night’s game held your attention as closely as the first half did, you’re lying.

Things changed well after game 2 last year though. Through 4 games it was over, then the Cavs started to get all the breaks. Green got suspended, Bogut got hurt, Curry was 25 playoff games into being beaten up on a bum knee, and Harrison Barnes and the rest of the Warriors shooters went colder than cold. Meanwhile…

Considering TT was integral in winning the title last year, that’s a resounding NO.

Are you kidding? Great excuse to sell a business that can’t be sold otherwise. Genius....

“Rondo, Rubio...” broke me. +1

In this case it might be less of Bosh actually having a history of PE and more to do with the fact he has to be on anticoagulants for his treatment that makes him an unacceptable risk. If you’re on a drug that puts you at a higher risk for bleeding, and makes clotting difficult once major bleeding starts, playing a…

A small group of people know what Fran meant. Who can figure out the true meaning of “I will see you at hotel”? Enjoy!

I was about to bring that up.

This is all really smart and accurate and, for the record, I have a really big soft spot for Rondo and Rubio–basically any creative passed (you too Joe Ingles!).

Serious question here, but how much do you think it hurt Kareem’s GOAT standing in the eyes of the fans that he didn’t really have a true rival to his talent when he was at his peak in the ‘70s?

Because Kareem’s best years were in the early 70s and most people who talk about shit like who was the GOAT weren’t watching ball or even alive back then.

I think Kareem is most definitely in the GOAT conversation. I hate to invoke Bill Simmons, but he wrote half an article (then probably devolved into incoherent rambling) basically saying if you were drafting someone’s career, you would take Abdul Jabbar first no brainer.

Going to a junior college only serves to hamper the athlete’s career even more- going directly to another school allows him to use the redshirt year he says he was willing to take at KSU to practice and learn his playbook and scheme as well as get immersed into the new school.

Why can’t the ‘kid’ (read over 18 adult) go wherever the hell he chooses without a 70+ year old white guy he’s not related to telling him what he’s allowed to do with his life?

Why get mad envisioning the “Bay Area technoliberal swine” celebrating the Warriors when you could happily imagine Klay Thompson getting his offseason weed from Erlich Bachmann?
