OKC vs Spurs is living up to expectations. I knew Spurs would bring it. I never thought they would bring it this soon.

Throw in Lakers, Rockets, Wolves and Nuggets into the mix, we have a very good competition underway.

73-9?

Do am if e easy.

GSW were 29-1 after 30 games in 15-16.

I'm sick of this damn app. Go still abandon am laslas

Cooper Flagg 33-9-9

I keep hearing Wemby as the next big thing. Wemby was not this good at 18/19.

Interesting fact. Flagg is actually a twin

Na bipolar Draymond, blind Harrison barnes and prime Lebron/Kyrie I blame for the disrespect to that warriors team. Everyone was lining up to stop them with their best efforts.

People underestimate the greatness of that 73-9 warriors. They did it in a League with prime Lebron/Kyrie Cavs, prime KD/Westbrook/Ibaka OKC, Prime Harden Houston rockets, Prime Kawhi Spurs.
The league was stacked that year

You're shying from the truth.

There was an asterisk on Steph curry's career until he won the last title in 2022.

At that point he had won 2 MVPs (one of which was unanimous), two scoring titles, several all stars yet he had to show his first title without durant wasn't a fluke.

The Greatest fact that supports the argument that another title will change Durant's legacy is that it will immediately move him up from being Top 15 to top 7 or top 5 all time.
That's a massive Jump.

Another ring wont make Durant crack top 10. Curry in many circles hasn't cracked top 10. I don't see anyone placing a Durant above Curry. Curry and Durant in top 10 is displacing which legends among these 9;
MJ, Bron, Kareem, Shaq, Kobe, Wilt, Duncan, Magic, Russell? I deliberately left Bird and Olajuwon out of the top 10.

You would have to choose one between Curry and Durant to fill in the 10th position and that is the very best shot, no more.

Sadly, I think Wilt shouldn't be top 10 , he didn't win enough and his competition was suspect.

Fair point. Durant still ain't cracking top 7

Did anyone see the argument between Green and Kerr during a time out against the Magic, with Green walking into the locker and not returning?

While these things are not unusual, I have a weird feeling something is going to give at the end of this season. I feel these locker room/ team issues are now spilling to the public. The body language of his team mates present like people who are burned out from his antics. Curry looked indifferent and passive on the bench while all of this was going on.

I don’t know but this one feels different

It was different. I don't expect Green to be at GSW this time next year.

If this is true, the Warriors need to jump on it. However, I don’t think they’d get much but they need to move on from Green and Kerr, if I may add.

The rebuild they have been avoiding needs to start after this season. I doubt Kerr can coach a team undergoing a rebuild.

Been done with that guy for a long time. He needs to go. He holds this team back so much than many are willing to accept and I blame the front office for all these.

He can go be with Bron his bestie. I bet he would give it his all there. Wtf!!!

While we are at it, Kerr has done enough. There's no need for him if the organisation is fine with wasting Curry's final days. We can just rebuild; We had a good run.

There comes a time when one just has to be held accountable. I wonder who holds Draymond Green accountable. If his person on the court is so toxic, I wonder who he is off-court. Who and what holds him accountable? Who and what makes him calm? Hard to say.

He's not an animal. This has to stop. In fact, it's time to let him go. Let him touch grass and play on another team.

You are one Warriors fan that has been very consistent and loud about Green, his excesses and moving from him. It had to happen for you guys this roster will not achieve anything for you guys.

The Spurs seem to have OKC's number

Seems like Spurs are OKC's kryptonite

The Spurs guards attacking the paint is a big problem for the OKC and then they have the athleticism and grit to make things difficult on the defensive end. The OKC can't use athleticism to bully them like other teams.

The only advantage OkC have over them is three point shooting and it's not like OKC is a great three point shooting team.

This Spurs team go too cook this league.

Wemby, Fox, Castle, Vassell, even washed Barnes dey play and there rookies are no slack either.

Beating OKC 3 times in a roll is no joke.

Even with 3 points shooting, Spurs have Vassell, Barnes, Champagne who cam get hot very quickly.

Even Fox and Wemby chip in their own numbers of 3s

I remember last season when Popovich was using Sochan as his ball handler and creator

Dude was stinking up everywhere

Draymond is the monster they made. Who them wan leave am for? Why will any GM that's not mad accept Draymond?

Curry, Kerr all of them are complicit in this kpenkelemes

Seems like Spurs have OKC's number. Credit to the coach. Strict on not overplaying Wemby.

I am noticing that bar SGA, there's not a guy on OKC that's better than the guards on the Spurs. Jalen should be on paper but on the pitch is a different story

Plus Wemby absolutely has been owning Chet

This Cooper Flagg kid is really a beast in the making, Dallas should phase the injury prone veterans in the coming years to build around him. The future is looking great for the NBA

Even the rockets with Van vleet back would even be more deadly, I don't think OKC will make the NBA finals with the level of oppositions in the west this time around

Even doncic is missing both free throws, ime has mentally outworked the Lakers

Thompson has really been a thorn in the flesh of the Lakers. Ime has built this team to not be over reliant on KD which is great

No joke my brother! OKC wey dey form invincible! See plucking of wings na.

This definitely is going to affect their confidence going forward. The warriors 73-9 record therefore stands.

A member of that record breaking team is right there in Spurs! He has been looking for redemption since 16. He just found it. Watch him explode henceforth.

Na Jamal Murray go kill Nuggets

Can't defend and stupid turnover

What a crazy game. Antman with the dagger to force overtime. Nuggets look defeated. Missing 3 starters it's a miracle they are even able to compete

No way Nuggets came back this same overtime. Jokic is ridiculous and unreal. I stopped watching when they were down 9. With 3 mins left. How the hell did they come back inside the same overtime

Insane carrying of a team. 52 pts and counting
