And even on the coli very few hate them:heh: Sure everyone hates @Blackthoughts but not because the warriors won. Its because he makes up fake hate and cries like a bytch whenever a cavs,spurs,or thunder fan believes in their team. Yet he did the same when gs was trying to reach that point.
This is a good point. If that fakkit wasn't always bytching about the Warriors they'd hardly get any hate at all.

I really don't understand. If these people are really in the "basketball community" then they would know that few teams have had as detrimental a combination of mismanagement and bad luck as the warriors from 2000 (really 1993) to this year. I'd say only Portland comes close. I watched this team suffer injury after injury, watched them constantly get high draft picks and waste them on goofy white dudes, constantly watched inept execution of inept coaching plans. I watched this team let Gilbert Arenas, one of the best draft picks they had before Curry, just go away. I watched this team trade away players just as the team started building chemistry. I watched this team suffer terrible losses, many due to biased officiating (shytty team discount).

So if you're really a basketball fan (and not a stan of a team or player), then you should be able to appreciate watching a team turn around, get a decent break of luck, get decent management, get decent coaching, and succeed. You should be able to appreciate a team not named the Spurs, Lakers, Heat, Celtics winning.

I don't even care about the incipient hatred towards my team. I'm just confused at how anybody can claim the warriors are "lucky". We've had amazingly shytty luck for two decades. Opposing players were injured? How's that new? Lakers might not have won in 2000 if Timmy wasn't injured. What player of Duncan's caliber was missing from Opposing teams? Mike Conley :JJ: ? Patrick Beverley :JJ: ?

As a real basketball fan, I've noticed a pattern. Any time a team breaks into the championship club for the first time, there's always a movement to belittle the accomplishment. We remember the infamous Spurs * that Phil mentioned. We remember the "refs" bullshyt that Heat fans still hear about from 2006. Now it's the Warriors turn I suppose. How dare a non-cannon team win a championship.


Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving:sas1:



Just thought you'd conveniently leave those two out huh?

How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?
Why not, they have a chance to be a generational team. How could you not appreciate that?
Not mine, at the end of the day, if I had to pick a squad, other than mine, to appreciate, it would be the Spurs, and they have earned all of their praise. What the Warriors are doing is not sustainable, imo. This season or next, teams will figure out how to stop them, and that will be that. I dont think we are seeing the Spurs or the NBA Patriots here.

GS would've won even if Cleveland had Love & Kyrie. Kyrie played in game 1. Cleveland should've won the series. Cleveland lost the series when GS went small. LeBron had a considerable size advantage against everyone GS had on the fllor and elected to shoot terrible jump shots when he should've been killing them in the low post.

Honestly, Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving together... still not close to prime Duncan.

Also, the Cavs were not beating the warriors last year with Iso-Bron. Besides, TT's defensive impact and offensive rebounding was more harmful to the warriors than Love would have been. TT type players are kryptonite for the Warriors.

Only Cavs fans and fans of Western conference teams hate the Warriors. Anyone with a decent basketball mind are giving them credit for their championship run and start to this season. Regardless if they got lucky with injuries or what not. The entire world outside of Heat Nation wanted the Heat to lose. Lebron James was the most hated athlete in the world and no matter what he did he was blamed for everything that went wrong. The celebrations people had when they lost (regular season games, finals series) was similar to when Bin Laden got killed. You had fans rooting for their rivals just to see the Heat fail. People hyped up the Pacers because they were the only ones in the East of dethroning them. People have accused the NBA of rigging every Heat game, thus the nickname "Heatrefs" despite many games where the Heat had less FTA than their opponents. People still say "If Ray Allen misses that shot!" Or "If Duncan made that damn tip in" or "If Pop had Duncan on the floor during that possession in G6!" to discredit the Heat for their amazing comeback in that series and Lebron James' dominance. Heat fans are still called bandwagon fans even though they've been top 10 in attendance in more years without Lebron than Cleveland has been without Lebron. People still shyt on the Heat fanbase because of the 45 fans who left the game even though we see that shyt at almost every sport event :dead:

So nah, the Warriors have been respected because of the way they've built their franchise from the ground up and Curry is the most popular player in the league rn. The Heat were hated because 3 players decided to team up to win titles and were perceived as arrogant, selfish, cocky, jerks and losers who couldn't do it on their own (even tho Wade already won)

The entire premise of this thread makes no sense. MIA initially caught hate from all sides. The general public hated them and booed them at every away game while analyst constantly poked holes in their championship prospects. When they weren't doing that they were criticizing every fukking they did or said or didn't do or didn't say.

I mean, Bron and Wade refused to do solo press conferences that 1st year due to the divide n conquer tactics the media tried to run on them.

2012 chip nikkas tried to throw a * on due to the lockout
2013 chip nikkas swore up and down was luck. That a GOAT level shooter making a 3 to tie game 6 was luck and that the shot won the series. That shot didn't even "win" game 6 :martin: it tied the game. SA had overtime and all of game 7...but somehow MIA was lucky.

The heat had 3 players take paycuts so they could stack their squad for an easy path to rings

How can a heat supporter complain about golden state?

Cavs fans don't hate the warriors:what: Nobody in real life discusses them here and on the coli they only get brought up if asianthoughts bring them up. Name one #swagalier fan that hates the warriors. I'll wait.

Well I barely post on the coli/this subforum so I wouldn't know any. I live in Columbus so I've been plenty of Cavs fans hate on the Warriors. Also other forums I'm on.

I'm holding out my thoughts on GSW to they play the Spurs, Thunder, Cavs and Mavs. Their best win been Toronto at home.
