When I told my fellow GSW fans that we ain't winning the championship, you guys doubted my fandom claims, hope y'all can see it now

Getting blown out by 35 at Memphis is not championship calibre. The truth is, GSW needs someone like KD as much as KD also needs a team like GSW. GSW fans don't like to admit it but it's true. Having some mediocres on the bench like Bjelica and Porter doesn't cut it at all

I doubt we're even beating Memphis at home

This is the bitter truth. Even if we get to the WCF, ain't no way I'm hell we going past Phoenix

This is cap bro. GSW aren't missing KD. GSW are buying their own hype and getting careless. Draymond is more interested in vlogging and podcasting rather than playing the game. Steph Curry is much more invested in his commercials, interviews and shows outside of basketball. Klay is trying hard to prove that he should have made the NBA top 75 list. The evidence is in how characterless and careless they have been. That game got to 28 -29 and soon after the collapse happened. How many of the TOs were forced? Barely any. As soon as Ja Morant got hurt GSW felt like the series was a forgone conclusion and they have played that way. Don't forget we lost to Indiana after their back to back, at Chase center and with Rick resting all his starters. That should tell you alot.

We thank KD for his time here but we don't need him. We won without him. Let him prove he can win without us. He was both a great and a cancerous player while here. He made us play iso heavy basketball and whenever we did that we struggled in games that we should have easily won. So he was a gift and a curse at the same time and with all his toxicity post leaving us, he is a forgotten memory. A useless, tainted and faded one.

I don't believe any GSW fan saw this roster beginning of the season and felt championship. But when we started with 20-2 or so and beat all the biggies convincingly our expectations were rightly adjusted. Now we have recalibrated it. I won't lose sleep over entitled and woke multimillionaires who are mostly dummies without their talent or money. Eff all of them for that show of shame yesterday.

If there was ever a time to spam 3s it's now Brick Ross

Playoff Jimmy

James Harden looks like someone who would retire in the next one or two years. That man is no more interested in basketball. It looks like he gets fatter every time I see him. How do you take 9 shots in a closeout game? This entire season has been abysmal. And to think this was a contract year, man didn't play like he needed a good contract. E go shock am say na peanuts wey teams go offer am. He's definitely not getting a supermax.

All the Teams are playing like ass.
Just look at the suns. I don't even know what the warriors matchup is gonna look like, I expected them to finish off Dallas in 6 games at least. The Grizzlies are a much better Team than Dallas.
The warriors or suns are gonna get exposed by the Celtics or Bucks if they do not improve.

Joel Embiid threw Ben Simmons under the bus last year and James Harden this year. Maybe he’s just a really bad teammate

Brick Ross and Ben Simmons no difference. Certain guys just don't have it either as a batman or a Robin

Embiid is also going to somehow escape slander even though he shot less than 30%

Chris Paul aging before our very eyes

GSW has been shit this season..and this is coming from a concerned fan

GSW should just loose and do the whole league a favor

They will go and get swept by Dallas in the WCF

GSW front office needs to take the bold step and trade either Steph or Draymond and leave Klay Thompson.

Steph is a defensive liability who is no longer a 3pt threat. These days, he's just an inefficient volume shooter

Draymond is an offensive liability who is punching way above his weight by playing centre.

Either of one of them should be traded asap

Didn't think Suns vs Dallas was gonna stretch till game 7

I'm starting to rethink my championship favorites. Dem Boyz in the east look like they ain't playing.

Kudos to Luka tho. But Suns in 7

We'll revisit this. That performance was terrible alright, but there's one factor that makes this tricky. Coaching. As opposed to others, unless you are just overwhelmingly talented, i believe coaching is very important to a winning culture. We've beaten the Phoenix suns fully loaded, and they are not that different now. In fact i won't be surprised if we dispatch them in 6 games. You can't really tell until we actually meet them. One series at a time. Besides, are you alright? What is it with 'mediocres like Bjelica and Porter don't cut it'. You dey talk like the entire bench has always been solid even through the championship years. You don't have to go 12-player deep in the playoffs. 3/4 additional solid players is fine. Besides Porter is playing his bench role well. He was one of those that kept GSW in the game in game 4. Abi na back of TV you dey watch ni?

You are not a fan young man.
Because as bad as the warriors have been, the maverics aren't going to beat, neither would the suns. My concern is whoever they meet in the Finals, if they get there. If the warriors escape the Grizzlies, take it from me, they are heading for the finals. Because an eye test suggests that these grizzlies are better than the suns and the Mavericks.
BTW, no true fan wants their team to lose.
You a hater. Admit it with your full chest.

Get your despicable lying ass outta here.
You aren't a fan of the warriors because bwhat stoopidity is this
The warriors don't need to trade anybody, they just need a traditional centre. And if anyone has to get traded, it's Klay. Poole can fill his boots, and as bad as Steph has been, he is still the best player on that roster and the only reason they have a series.

I am a warrior fan but much of the Fandom are blinded by loyalty.

The warriors were mediocre for the last 20 games of the season.
This is their identity this season.

I don't understand why y'all need to assure that you are a fan...
I am a Fan, I don't expect much from the warriors, but their Western conference opponents aren't any better than they are.
It's a mediocre conference.
The warriors were mediocre for the last 20 games, true, Steph and Draymond also missed most of the last 20 games, also true.

You know it's a good thing you don't occupy any management role at GSW.

So your idea is to trade the best player, and the best facilitator and defender from the team and leave the 30+ year old wing player, who not only just missed nearly 3 years of basketball, but we are also not sure he can get back to his pre-injury form. Your GM skills need a lot of work

Assin, I just keep seeing blasphemy all over this thread. So they lost by 39 pts, so what is just 1 game. Stan van gundy always said that every playoff loss counts as 1, it does not matter whether you lose by 50 or by 1, both counts as one loss.

You wicked o

I suppose the kings are hoping they can just do it by hiring a coach from the GSW system. They are hoping they get lucky one of these days. He may very well succeed, but it doesn't look good. Some people are just great assistants, and that's how far they can get with their greatness, but there's no harm in trying abi.

A40:
Was going to say. Like Mike Brown was a good coach 10 years ago. The Kings really cursed bro

Thank you for pointing this out

Exactly what I have been trying to imply

How the Bleep did we think we could get through without a traditional centre

Draymond is 6'6 at best. He isn't a traditional centre. I don't even though what that dude brings to the team apart from unnecessary shouts and triple singles.

Draymond needs to leave. And we trade him for a traditional big man abeg

Yes I would do so

Because e have a Payton and Jordan Poole who arguably has been our best player in the playoffs

That's the bold step I would take. You saw me say - take the bold step right unless you have comprehension issues

Besides Curry has been playing very badly since before the all star break. Right now curry is only a threat from three and even that is slowly fading. Many players shot better than him from beyond the arc this season. This is the beginning of the end for Steph curry.

As for Draymond, man doesn't bring anything to the table - either offense or defense. How can you expect a 6'6 dude to guard Adams...no matter how stubborn Draymond is, he can't do anything against a human freight train like Adams.

I would focus on my young talents like Wiseman, kuminga et al. even if it means missing the playoffs next season. I like to think long term

benji93:

You can't argue with what I said

Steph is a defensive liability yes or no?

Draymond is an offensive liability yes or no?

Klay plays both sides of the floor well yes or no?

Steph is just stat padding these days and doesn't really care if the team wins or losses yes or no?

The last 20 games of the season you keep hammering is a perfect snap shot of what Draymond does for GSW.
Dude is a top 3 defender in the league and practically runs the offense. Asking what Draymond does is like asking what did Rodman, Ben Wallace, Bruce Bowen all do in their playing days.

Rodman was a offensive liability too, Dirk was a defensive liability. I will be tactful and just assume you don't watch the games you only just look at boxscores. Klay who has been missing defensive assignments like Harden and bricking shots like Westbrook is the person who is playing both side of the ball, baba abeg watch games not boxscores.

There's nothing Draymond does offensively that no other person in the league does. There's nothing special in what he does. You're acting like he's averaging ten assists per game. Is he?

The dude doesn't even average double figures in points. So what is he doing?

Abeg make we hear word. At least stats don't lie

Dude just came back from an injury. I trust in a Klay Thompson and trust he'll be back strong next season

A logical argument would have been to attach a contract to Wiseman and get back bodies that can actually help right now. Not trade a top 5 player and a top 3 defender. You saying Payton and Poole are the best players shows either how little basketball you watch or if you do watch them how much you don't understand.
Payton plays well on defense and in transition because he does not have to carry the offensive load, Poole is balling because defenses are not schemed to stop him and so he always has maybe the 2nd or 3rd best wing defender on him without any help at all.
Make Poole the focus of the defense and watch him crumble immediately, dude has never faced a trap defense and you are already anointing him as the not just the heir to Steph but also the reason for trading him. Baba you too funny

You really do have comprehension issues. I knew it. You may even be typing with the help of a translator..who knows?

I said, make Poole focus of offense and get a legit big man defender. If possible trade looney and green for a big like the 7ft guy in Utah....if the jazz would agree that is

Poole is a more efficient scorer and plays his heart out every game because he has a lot to prove. Steph and green has won it all and play like they are being forced to..especially Steph. Which serious player runs a podcast during a playoffs series ? Not a serious player for sure
