fukk what y'all talking about. I'm talking about us not getting our due respect.


They were a one and done team in a tougher west with major question marks. They're getting the respect they warrant.

Few players have a bigger bulls-eye on their back than Klay Thompson. If he doesn't make that leap to elite status (it can't even be a marginal increase, it has to be substantial) and Love's out there winning a title with LeBron, the whole Bay will turn on Klay.

First off we took that great Clippers team to 7 games without a center. With a center we win that series. If we knocked the Clippers off without Deandre Jordan we still wouldn't be ranked where the Clippers are ranked because when we knocked Denver out in 2013 they still didn't give us any credit at the start of last season.

As far as the people turning on Klay that won't happen, they'll turn on those that refused to trade Klay. It wasn't his fault that he wasn't traded. They haven't turned on Harrison Barnes for not being Andre Drummond.

Here's the reality of the situation. You STILL don't have a center, at least not one you can bank on. Even so, late in games, y'all go super small. Late in games it's gonna be Livingston/Curry/Klay/Iggy/Green with a Bogut sub here and there. It's not like you're gonna ask Bogut to carry you down the stretch, and before you even mention him, Festus Ezeli isn't making prognosticators go :ohhh:


Whether it's fair or not, the criticism will be aimed at Klay if he keeps treading water. The GM ain't out on that court, so if Klay's not making that leap, considering it's his last year before he's an RFA, he can't afford to be the guy GS foolishly kept. The pressure is solely on him.

They're too busy giving up on Harrison Barnes instead of being mad at him.

The fans boo'd the owner when Monta got traded. Dubs fans smart enough to not fault Klay if he doesn't become a superstar and Love wins a ring. As far as not having a center neither does Dallas yet they're ranked ahead of us.

They upgraded their center situation from a year ago. While you're mad the Warriors aren't getting more props for almost beating the Clippers, the Mavs are getting credit for being the closest team to beating the Spurs--- and they upgraded their C and SF. I'm not as high on the Mavs as some are, but I get why they're getting that kind of props.

Tyson Chandler was injured all of last year it seems that's why I say they don't have one because I'm applying your Bogut logic to him. As far as the Mavs coming close to knocking off SA, we came close to knocking them off a little over a year ago and that was without David Lee and we didn't get any credit for it like I said.
