Posted: Sat Mar 11, 2017 1:54 pm Post subject: Imo the Warriors are a pretty classless bunch
In light of all the slave talk, and crying about technicals, I pretty much lose more respect for them on a daily basis. Dealing with a little adversity showing their true colors?
Am I wrong? Maybe reading in too much. But now they don't win every night or play well and they have something new to cry about.

They totally are. Draymond is one of the biggest douchebags in the league and I really can't stand Curry's whole humblebragging act. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
But we already know you hate the Warriors for whatever reason so this isn't a new development.
I guess I do love watching them implode, and act like little whiny girls.
I think when the Warriors go on the road, teams should do the no music playing thing just to get under Draymond's skin. It is always fun watching him make his self look like an idiot.

My dislike for them has grown pretty strong. It's not like I'd root for the Celtics over them or anything, but I would be pulling for the Cavs again in the NBA Finals without question, should they face off. That was unthinkable for me 2 years ago.
Draymond is by far the worst. The others don't bother me that much, even though Curry does a huge amount of showboating which can make him look really arrogant and annoying to some. But it is entertainment so I'm not sure how I feel about that. Green makes them a lot easier to dislike though.

I'm most definitely in the Cav bandwagon this year. I'd hate to see Boston get #17, or see the Warriors chicken their way to a title (with 4 all stars... 3.5 Hall of Famers at the moment).

When they played the Celtics the other night, there were actually moments when I caught myself pulling for the Celtics. The moments passed, but still.

I am not a fan of GSW. Draymond is my least favorite player in the league and in my opinion one of the most overrated in recent history. My dislike grew with the addition of Durant. Although I recognize his all world basketball skill....just not my kind of player.
In regards to the slave statements made recently by Draymond and Iggy...I am not offended by them, but have found that almost all of us, of all races are fairly ignorant on the complex subject matter in depth.....and unless you are really confident your knowledge is at the expert level, you should probably not make public statements about the subject, especially insinuating or comparing someone today to the sins of humanity that took place during that period. 99.9999% of the time, it is truly unfair to the person of today.
The problem is I was able to pull for Cleveland last year.....but I dislike them almost equally at this point. So I am hoping for upsets in the playoffs.

Born in Springfield, Illinois Iggy should know his remarks would be taken out of context. This is not the day and age to use words that speak with slavery connotations. I don't think he meant to be insulting to Steve. IMO, it was a slip of the lip.
The Warriors have reveled a chink. KD's loss is having more of a effect than expected.
Curry's body language is puzzling. He seems to be distracted. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Just remember guys, everyone said that about Kobe too. He had a ton of cocky mocking looks that really pissed the oppostions fans off. But who cares about them?? And they don't care about you.
I could care less about this stuff. I'm more interested in Curry not being great on defense and that he is a very streaky shooter. He could easily end out being one of those guys who has around 3 good years and then ends out mediocre for the rest of his career. Knock him around a bit and he will end out injury plagued and constantly trying to figure out how to regain his shooting form. _________________ Never argue with stupid people!

Funny how people seem to conveniently forget that Kobe did more than his fair share of showboating and taunting over the years.
You guys are making an issue where there isn't one.
As for Iggy's comments about "master", both he and Kerr have addressed it and there's clearly a non-issue. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Yep, not any different kind of cockiness that we were from 1999-2002

The public edginess of Iggy and Green - plus the skip down court of choirboy gunner Steph - remind me on the whole of the old Laimbeer-Thomas Detroit Pistons clubs. Just dirty enough and cocky enough and pretension-laden enough to rankle a lot of fans. They don't bother me much, probably because the Lakers aren't competing with them for anything.
I like to watch the GSW play ball. I'm hyper curious to see how well the front office's near bet-the-farm acquisition of Durant actually plays out for them. There's some in-fighting related to the guy, for sure. _________________ “These GOAT discussions are fun distractions while sitting around waiting for the pizza to be served.”
