Remember yesterday, when I said if GSW acquired Oladipo and PJ Tucker they’d EASILY take out the Lakers? And yall said they needed WAY more than those two? HAHA.
I was kind of wrong, but also very right. They don’t need those 2 to beat them, as they proved last night, but if they did have them they’d absolutely trash them in any playoff series.
That said, they should still use the $9.2 TPE on JaVale or PJ.
Credit to the Warriors for winning last night, but even you must admit the game was a close call. I doubt adding PJ and McGee would allow Golden State to “trash” the Lakers. I mean, Memphis just beat the Sixers by two. Does that mean we would “trash” them in a series once we got JJJ back? No; same logic applies here
@wagner13 the game was close with LAL at full strength and GSW missing Klay Thompson.
Adding a couple high IQ veterans to balance the youth would make this team unstoppable. We saw they were missing one player last night and if they had him, it wouldn’t even have been close.
I loved last night’s come-from-behind win of course, but everyone saw the calls go against the Lakers.. and the Warriors in fact were getting trounced at times in the first half.
If This Were a playoff game they don’t call traveling on LeBron James and the Lakers don’t give up a 20-point lead. Nice regular-season win and important for the Warriors but don’t read too much into it.
Imagine having Lebron and AD and the best defensive unit in the NBA then still having the audacity to cry about calls not going their way (almost all of those were correct, btw also Steph literally never gets any calls ever, so save the sob story for Lebron’s crying face he makes 100x a game every time he plays GSW haha)
I remember when the Lakers beat the 73-9 Warriors. If only they let last place teams in the playoffs, Dubs were in trouble!
5 straight finals says your opinions are straight up garbage lol GSW beats Bron, GSW beats KD, GSW even beats Harden with Draymond only on Christmas Day 2019 hahahaha
What’s this about five straight Finals? GS won one in 2014/15 and two consecutive in 2016/17 and 2017/18. Unless this is a “prediction.” In which case, I predict Trump pays his taxes before the Warriors win five straight Finals
I know it’s old news but why did Durant even go to Nets. Warriors had Curry Klay. Now he got Harden, Kyrie. When he signed for Nets I thought… ok he wants to prove he can do it on his own here. Just doing same as before now.
I keep saying it, small brains think KD going to GSW ruined his legacy, but him leaving GSW hurt it way, way more.
Kevin Durant enjoys change in continuity. He’s single and likes variety and hanging with his boys. He went to the Warriors to play basketball the right way. Ball movement, tough defense, and Championship potential.
He left the Warriors because most of those guys are married and have families. Not too many parties after the games, it’s going home and getting a good night’s rest and chilling. Even single guy Klay Thompson really isn’t a partier.
So if I was Durant I’d move on too. I can relate, I love change. I move every few years and I’ve got a different car every single year. Not that I didn’t like the old but I enjoy change, something different. It’s all good.
The amount of projection you’re throwing onto KD because you feel the need to move around a lot is hilarious. He left the Warriors because he’d done what he went to do and got Dray running his mouth in return. He had an opportunity that most players don’t have. He got to choose where he wanted to play with his friend Kyrie. They settled on Brooklyn because the New York market combined with the fact that the Nets aren’t the Knicks lol. Has nothing to do with Steph being married. Hope your leased Hyundai is keeping you comfy.
Okay I stand corrected. I appreciate your post.
Also I don’t go with new cars.. I can’t really afford the payments !! I buy 03 to 09 Siennas and Econolines. Sometimes an 08 Camry if I want something “fast and sporty.”
