Thompson: Warriors will try to beat Bulls' 72-10

article said:
"I've spent more time thinking about Golden State than I have any other team I've ever thought about in my whole career," Popovich told ESPN Radio on Friday. "Because they are really fun. I'd go buy a ticket and go watch them play. And when I see them move the ball, I get very envious. When I see them shoot uncontested shots more than anybody else in the league, it's inspiring. It's just great basketball.

"So I'm actually enjoying them very much. You try to solve them, but they're in a sense unsolvable because it's a particular mix of talent that they have. It's not just that Steph [Curry] can make shots or that Klay can make shots or that Draymond Green is versatile. Everybody on the court can pass, catch and shoot. And they all get it."

"They're for real," Popovich added. "They're talented. But they're also very, very smart."

:blessed:

All-time team and people don't want to appreciate what they're seeing, I love watching the Warriors play.
Everybody appreciates what they're seeing. People aren't trying to prematurely put them above other certain legendary teams before, you know, they actually accomplish everything. It's not enough to just expect them to do certain things. The Warriors get a whole helluva lot more love than they do hate; hell, they get less hate than other teams/players who have been in similar situations to them.

They've already won a title though, so it's not like they haven't climbed the mountaintop already, what we're seeing now is unprecedented.

They're gonna have to win the title this season to get that all-time level of appreciation though, because of the way the playoffs looked last year (them looking shaky in the Finals against a team without its #2 and #3 player, not having to play the Spurs/Clippers, so many guys being hurt) whether you like it or not. If they break the wins record or even come close (69, 70, 71) or tie it, they're still going to have to win the title to get that solidified claim.

Let me ask you something, say they get to 73 wins and then lose in the Western Conference Finals or lose in the Finals, where would you rank them on a historic scale?

I'm not sure what the point of your first statement is. This isn't the first time we've seen unprecedented shyt in sports. The Lakers damn near swept through the playoffs in 2001 and people were complaining about Derek fukking Anderson being hurt for the Spurs. But now, 15 years later, nobody even cares.

Newsflash... EVERY GREAT TEAM/PLAYER CATCHES HATE. The Warriors catch a lot less hate than others have. You can take solace in the fact that, assuming they win the title, nobody is going to be saying anything negative about them in ten years.

This "hate" y'all talking about for the Warriors doesn't really exist outside of general haters who are gonna hate on any success.

I think an injury is the only thing that will stop this team from winning a title, it would honestly depend on how they lose though. The fact they've won a title kind of insulates and protects them a bit, I think too big of a deal is made out of the playoffs last year since young teams like them with a new head coach typically don't win the title, and they did.

They are 115-19 the last two seasons, this is an all-time team, those West/Wilt/Baylor teams are recognized as all-time great squads and they couldn't win a title with that trio.

Optimistic But I Got Hands Tho

Having the personnel to zip the ball around the floor, but isoing at the top of the key :to:

*Taps right shoulder with left hand calling for the screen from Jag*

*waves off request for screen*

*pouts in corner and waits for a pass*

*watches Malta miss a step back 26 footer double teamed with 16 seconds left on the shot clock*


*watches ensuing fast break while none of us get back on defense*

*subs myself out and spreads locker room turmoil to the media on the low after the game*
