All of this with arguably the best scorer in the league that made them a super team. Yes the Warriors may have won with other all stars, but they don't win jack without adding an all star to that 73-9 team.OaktownBear said:
I don't think you can know whether they would have won. They have more firepower than they need. They adjusted around the addition of KD. If he never came, the other stars would have done more as they did previously. You are also assuming KD gets replaced with nobody. Maybe they get another star. Maybe they have a deeper team. KD gave them the best chance to win. Not the only chance.
Did mark Jackson feed you that information?

It's not an excuse. The reality of that series, wherever you come out on the impact of CP3 and Iggy, demonstrates the 'super team' narrative is not grounded in reality.ducky23 said:
I think iggy has once and for all proved his injury was not a minor inconvenience for the dubs last year. That series could easily have gone 5.
If you count this year and last year's playoffs, when both iggy and cp3 play, dubs are 4-1. I'm sick and tired listening to the cp3 excuse

Kinda like what happens if you say the kind of crap (lies, threats, insults, racist, egotistical) that trump says? I'd love to play ball with him and kick his face in.GBear4Life said:

Good point.
But my understanding is that the luxury penalties go up like a hockey stick the further you go over the limit. Thus, 1 dollar to PlayerX mean 4 dollars to league in form of penalty tax.
At some point, even warriors in Chase can't afford that, no?

But that's not why GS has been given the 'super team' and 'the nba is now unfair' label. They (media, fans) gave it to them the moment they signed Durant.

I really don't know what you think makes a super team. They signed Durant. Everyone thought they'd win. They went 16-1 in the playoffs. The next year everyone thought they'd win. They went 4-1,4-1, 4-3, 4-0. Or 16-5. So in the 2 years after signing Durant, they went 32-6 and totally dominated 7 series out of 8 including 2 finals. So one close series against an extremely good team makes them less than expected? This is the NBA. Guys compete. You cannot expect no one would put up a challenge.

...I think it is more accurately described as an uncontested dunk rejected by the front of the rim.
It means that if trump said the things he says on stage, behind the protection of police and security and secret service, if he said those things on the blacktop he'd get his fu-king ass kicked.GBear4Life said:I have no idea what you're saying here, but I lol'd anywaysconcordtom said:Kinda like what happens if you say the kind of crap (lies, threats, insults, racist, egotistical) that trump says?

Right. And he referenced the "unfair" commentary. The dumbest thing I read after the Warriors won last year was how the playoffs were boring and predictable, because the Warriors won. It was as if that incredible 7 game series with the Rockets never occurred.
I agree, because the original 3-some will not be going 73-9, or winning a title without him.bearister said:

They are individually and collectiv past their prime. Durant is an all-timer.
Curry has been one of the most important players in the history of the league because he has shown a new way to play the game, and everyone has mimicked it out to well beyond the 3-line. But, he's not a physical beast,a md so is limited in certain ways, and that has shown up, ately.

Isn't Iggy 35? Guy looks great out there.
Agreed!!!ClayK said:
We'll see how Iguodala responds now that there's only a one-day break between games. This is where losing Cousins really hurts because it means Iguodala has to play more than he really should ...
Huge game tonight. A loss means it's a three-game series, and as close as these games have been, all you need is a banked-in shot or two (ask the Blazers) and suddenly you lose.
And I still am not convinced.concordtom said:Agreed!!!ClayK said:

I have maintained after games 1,2,3 that it ain't over vs the Rockets until it's over.
I'm not convinced yet.
