Everybody in that organization is getting exposed...from the GM to the manager, to the players...and then their fans.

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 10:16am On Dec 12, 2019
But man, they really lost to the knicks. At home. How is that even possible?

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 10:18am On Dec 12, 2019
The knicks! WTF? cheesy
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 10:53am On Dec 12, 2019

Yup!....They Do indeed miss the Chef and to a lesser extent Klay. Once they get those two players back and firing on all Cylinders coupled with one or two new additions, they'll be back. Top 3 in the West no single doubt in my mind.
Let's be honest, Steph and Klay on this team will struggle to make the playoffs. This team is awful

It's tanking seasons. Nothing new. Even the ones who couldn't stay one month with the Cavs, the so called "I'm a LeBron fan, I go anywhere he goes" just want to troll the Warriors fanbase who don't jump from team to team.
In other news, Draymond needs to learn some offense. We keep Alec Burks, Glen Robinson, Marquese, Bowman, Looney, Paschal. Those guys have proved themselves. Cauley Stein and DLO will eventually get traded. The rest can leave. Omari Spellman and Jordan Poole still needs to go to the G League. Alan Smailigic or whatever he is called isn't doing so bad. This season is a blessing in disguise. It's funny the the same trolls shouting now will be the ones calling the next championship plastic when the Warriors sign another KD type of free agent.
A good season to see the NBA from another point of view. It's refreshing.

Like they struggled in 2015 and 2016 playoffs when they were healthy with Draymond and no KD. Hating everything the Warriors stand for has become your safe place you don't even think twice before saying the most ridiculous things. Wetin the Warriors do una? Haba!! grin grin
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 1:24pm On Dec 12, 2019
Na you get time dey argue. But honestly this is really bad. We lost to the knicks. Kerr is making this tanking too obvious. It looks like the agenda is to be dead last by every means necessary. grin

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:27pm On Dec 12, 2019
So let me get this, Kerr and the Warriors are tanking the season for LaMelo, Cole Anthony or James Wiesman? From what I have watched so far, there is nothing exceptional about the projected top picks, maybe LaMelo, but he needs a lot of work but the rest are just bang bang average. This is why I have a higher level of respect for E. Spoelstra, B. Stevens and R. Carlisle..

LOOOL....Struggle gini? Steph and Klay completely changes the dynamics of this team. All of a sudden players like Draymond would start to look like an All Star. Not only do they comfortably make the Playoffs, they'll win at the very atleast one round.

Yup definitely tanking however do you see a Franchise Cornerstone in the Next draft worth tanking for? As for Draymond, I think it's too late for Him to learn any sort of offence. Let Him continue being the Defensive linchpin and emotional leader for you lot. That suits Him down to a tee.

When last season blew up in LeBrons face did we run? Nope! Say what you want about us but we are loyal to the king.

As for the warriors "fans", everyone knows they are either new basketball fans (which is forgivable i guess) or fans of other teams, particularly lakers fans who hopped on their bandwagon. You should also know that LeBron fans dont like lakers fans, especially the kobtards, we just found ourselves in the same car because of lebron, once hes done with the lakers i'm back to hating them again.

That being said, i reiterate you lot losing is the best thing that can happen to you this season. DLo is proving to be a good trade asset, a high draft pick, if you can get a really good Center and a SF with those assets forget signing a marquee free agent (which will be really difficult) you lot are going to be hard to beat, until you run into LeBron that is and he gets his revenge. I mean you'll never sniff the finals again but you'll be good. Until then, you deserve every bit of banter coming your way.

There's really no point trying to be competitive this season with long-term injuries to the Splash brothers. I'm not holding Kerr to any standard for it. Popovich isn't having a good time with the Spurs either. It happens. I agree with you on the draft prospects. It's just flat across the board. There's nothing separating the guys from each other but I'm sure the Warriors won't go for Lamelo. They'll most definitely end up trading the pick. It's a good season for everyone but the NBA. The stocks have been down like 16% I heard. grin

I don't buy that emotional leader shít. He got paid big time and should play his worth. I can't remember how many games we lost last season especially the playoffs because he couldn't score even wide open. He later picked up late in the playoffs however, he has to make scoring his business when Steph and Klay are getting all the attention. There's never enough offense. Did I mention he got paid? cheesy

LeBron journey in the nba has been rough, with a few rewarding highlights. anyone who has stuck with LeKing this long is a true blood cool

Answer my question first. Teaming up with the top players in your draft class... Is that consider weak, yes or no? Keep in mind, one of them already won a championship and a finals mvp.

Teaming up with your rival, who just swept you out of the playoffs is weak. Very weak, and very shady. Snake like actually. But yes, weak too.

which fans tongue mostly just anti lebrons looking for a savior team to deny LeKing some rings grin

The original fans in oakland also got shafted with the arena move. Most of the bay area doesnt really strike me as NBA types.

LeBron is the reason the Warriors sold out 230 regular season games consecutively before 2017? 18,000 per game for 12 straight seasons between 2005-2017 because they are anti-lebron. Una logic ehn. grin

Lool are you people still on this KD vs LeNomad argument. Both took shortcuts to rings. Adding as many Free Agents to form Avengers squads from team to team is also selling out.

We can only question the morality of KD's but to suggest that either of them took the harder road is laughable. There is nothing hard about joining a team with Chris Bosh, D. Wade and adding Ray Allen, Mike Miller and a motley crew of free agents.

LeNomad had AD and still wanted to add Kawhi to the squad to eliminate all competition. Let's not act like both parties are not trying to take the easiest road possible at all times

I mean it has to be intentional at this point right? This feels like an organized troll job.
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 7:19pm On Dec 12, 2019
Now we are arguing which team it was more difficult to win with? seriously? the warriors team that was favorite in the finals by a record margin? that warriors team? seriously? cheesy

And this dude brings up ray allen like they didnt win without him or he wasnt a spot up shooter in miami. And mike miller? what?


Naah, certainly a troll job.

Your arguments are purely from a morality and emotional standpoint not a competitive one. Nothing competitive about joining the two other lottery picks you were drafted with.

That's like MJ joining Hakeem and Barkley. There is nothing competitive about it
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 7:29pm On Dec 12, 2019
You people are so funny. Imagine a squad with LeNomad, Bosh and Wade. Surrounded by these many shooters! Then still added Ray Allen the next year

And someone is trying to tell me LeNomad did not take the easy road. Lool
