2nd Round
Spurs in that second round though breh.
Exactly. They're the anti-Cavs.
Yeah, I don't give a fukk about your life story, either back up your shyt with some credible evidence or STFU.
My bad breh, like I said, I'm at work and was doing presentations.
It ain't got shyt to do with respect. They're pacing themselves, while dealing with opposing teams giving them their best shot night in, night out.
Stop it, nikka.
Explain to me how the hell they won 73-games with the "most overrated player in the league" according to you, being their second-most impactful player?
Thunder are making tough shot after tough shot, and the Warriors aren't locked in defensively.
Nikka, which is it, are they playing for real or no? If not, what does them playing D matter?Does regular season mean nothing or no? If it doesn't, why bring up the 73 game regular season which they lost in the finals?
Like I said breh, I'm busy and do this site for fun. I just had time to pull these quotes solely from this thread. It's far worse in others, which I don't fukking have time or desire to go through, cuz everyone knows of your BS.
Then you talked about people's comprehension in this thread, while posting about Kerr not having any say in their Defense while other Warriors fans was telling you to
. Do you really need me to find and quote those also?

I know this ain't directed at me, but i'm going to come with my perspective. This is completely different from the 73 win year. That team was still out to prove something and every game meant something. But in a year where they are going for their 4th straight NBA finals, they aren't putting in the consistent effort on a nightly basis.
Are they playing hard? I would say on many occasions yes. Last night they played hard, but they didn't work hard. They gave effort, but in reaction to what OKC was doing. OKC pressured them on D, and they folded. They want things to come easy. They are digging themselves holes that they have to work to get out of, but then they are trying to shoot their way back into games. Only problem is they aren't getting good shots.
I respect that. You offer reasoning as well as criticism. Can't hate on it.

Well, first of all, I do find it hilarious how you stated - "when actually the context of what they are saying either does apply and YOU don't understand the context.", when you commit this very thing by referencing posts of mine which you do NOT understand the context of.Nikka, which is it, are they playing for real or no? If not, what does them playing D matter?Does regular season mean nothing or no? If it doesn't, why bring up the 73 game regular season which they lost in the finals?
You took two-to-three different conversations centered around different points of argument and drew some bullshyt conclusion as weight for this supposed "pseudo-intellectual" character breakdown of mine.
As it was said above, this team is on track (well, they're attempted to anyway) to go to their 4th Finals in a row, there isn't going to be that same energy/desire to win regular season games, as there was in 2014/15 and 2015/16. Not only because they're aware that pacing themselves gives them a better chance at operating on a full tank in the postseason, but because teams who've experienced similar success to this Warriors squad (more regular season wins over a 3-4 year stretch in NBA history) simply can't keep winning/playing with high effort to the same degree that they did in the past.
The 00s Lakers went through the same thing, the 90s Bulls went through the same thing, the 80s Lakers went through the same thing, the 80s/90s Pistons went through the same thing. All of these teams who had 2-3+ years of success weren't as hungry and merciless as they were when they were proving themselves.
You can NOT compare this Warriors team to any of team in the league, because of that very fact.
Furthermore, I brought up that 73-win season as a contention point to Houston911's about Kerr not really coaching, and only pretending to, when he calls Draymond nothing but a role player and the most overrated player in the league, despite him being in a system which allowed him to be the second-most impactful player on a 73-win team. Now if he's a role player, and the most overrated player as Houston911 said he is, then how the hell did the Warriors have the success they did with him being one of the main pieces for all these years? Houston911's already admitted that Draymond wouldn't be shyt on another team, so he's already indirectly admitted multiple times that Kerr is indeed actually not pretending to coach, because his coaching and the system he instilled put this "role player" in a position where he could have this impact; impact that he wouldn't have on any other team - in his eyes.
By all means, you can criticize the way they're playing (they certainly deserved it after last night), because no team is above criticism, but don't read too much into it their regular season performance, which is the mistake A LOT of folks are doing in here. This team is thinking about the bigger picture here, for better or for worse.
Steph and Draymond have already said multiple times over the past month that they're preparing well, and they're talking about building good habits on defense, but they need to do a better job of actually putting it into action, on the floor. This team has a defensive structure/system, they've been arguably the best defensive team over the last three years, as a coach when the players have this proven structure and have proven themselves in that manner, there's only so much a coach can do to get them to be consistent on that end. Is Kerr blameless in all this? Of course not. But everything is there in place for these players to play consistent defense, they've proven so time and time again.Then you talked about people's comprehension in this thread, while posting about Kerr not having any say in their Defense while other Warriors fans was telling you to
It would be different if they've never had a great defensive scheme or any notable defensive success, then of course, Kerr (and Adams) should be crucified for it. But everything is in place for this Warriors squad to play consistently great defense (we've seen it for THREE seasons straight now), they've got all the measures and tools to do so, it's only up to them to execute it.
Blame Draymond. Blame Steph. Blame Durant. Blame ZaZa. Blame Iggy. Blame McCaw. Blame every single player, before you start blaming the coach.
That can still come to bite them when it comes to seeding. The Grizz were the same way last year, they beat everybody at the top of the West at least twice but lost over a dozen games to sub .500 teams. That put us in the 7th seed against our kryptonite in the Spurs, when we could've been as high as 4th if we'd won at least half of those games
I'd like for OKC to at least get homecourt advantage in the first round. Going three straight rounds without it would be tough no matter who they face
