    Warriors are the front runner-est team in recent memory.

    Doc Rivers was right when he said that GSW got lucky in the playoffs. Lawson was right to say that he wants to make it so that Curry has to defend this year.

    Yet, if someone speaks on them and it's not capitulation or tribute to their greatness, they react with snark because they are being disrespected.

    The national media goats them, and then eats it up. It's pretty lame.

    So they should've said, "yeah, you're all correct. We got lucky and don't deserve the championship". Would that make your feel better?

    Lol Curry is humble though. GS offensive attack is schemed perfect for the players that they have. That's a big reason why Curry looks so good. Is not really a one on one beast he just attacks through the team offense really well.

    Maybe you people should worry more about the Rockets playing like **** and less about what jokes Curry makes.

    Don't understand the logic that, because it shouldn't be one extreme, the ONLY option is for it to be the complete opposite extreme.

    Plus, It's not about anyone feeling bad, or making anyone "feel better". It's just a reflection of who they are as a team and the environment around them.

    You act like we're members of the Rockets basketball operations team.

    It doesn't make a difference if we worry about how the Rockets play, and as fans, we have the capacity to care about how the AND think Curry's jokes are lame at the same time.

    If you have a shooter like Curry, would you rather have him defend more or shoot more (navigate through those screens, multiple defenders, etc..)? He's not a freak of nature athlete like Harden or LBJ or MJ or Hakeem or Kobe (at least in the NBA level). Did you really watch the finals footage on how the Cavs chase Curry all over the court with several players? Did you see the multiple screens, 2-3 most of the time set by the Warriors just to give him a ray of sunlight for him to launch his 3 pts?

    It just feels wrong talking about something reported by Ethan Sherwood Strauss.

    lol

    Let him talk crap. Only gives us extra motivation, as if losing in 5 games wasn't enough.

    I can't believe GS isn't more humble though. It took how long to win a championship? We played without 2 starters the entire playoffs, and a center with a torn meniscus.

    We might not crush them tonight, but by the end of the season, we better be ready to put a foot right up Curry's rear end.

    So when MJ said if he could have any big man that he would take Hakeem... Just prom kingin?

    The players know what's up.

    Last year Curry and Harden were neck and neck. Neither is easily better than the other.

    Curry doesn't need to play much defense.

    Defensive strategy against the Rockets: just let them shoot and prepare for the rebound.
