    Wrong again. Wiseman didn't do anything noteworthy in the first half. He looked like an inferior version of Capela. That's the reality.

    It wasn't until garbage time in the 2nd half when he began to showcase his skills.

    You know I'm right.

    Here is the thing
    Just about every great player
    Had bad games where their teammate bailed them out.
    Harden has less of those than most.

    Draymond Green got into an argument with Kevin Durant so feisty, it caused a Warriors player to predict Durant will now leave Golden State in free agency next summer.

    Just what did Green say?

    Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports:

    Green called Durant a “b****” multiple times, sources said. In a summarized version, sources said Green shouted, “You’re a b**** and you know you’re a b****.” The rhetoric, sources said, continued even when Kerr attempted to direct the team’s attention to his whiteboard.

    Green blurted to Durant something along the lines of, “We don’t need you. We won without you. Leave,” sources said.

    Wow. That’s pretty darned harsh. And if Durant walked away say saying “That’s why I’m out“… wow.


    This would explain why Green’s teammates supported his suspension. He clearly went too far, as even he expected a fine. But this was quite the way to carry on.

    When Green and Durant bickered last year in a similar, though less heated, incident, it was claimed Green was using “reverse psychology” to motivate Durant. I was never convinced whether that was accurate or cooked up after the fact to cover for Green’s misbehavior. Will we hear a similar explanation this time?


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



    "BUT WE DONT NEED KD DOE" WE WON WITHOUT YOU( with obvious injuries to jrue holiday, mike conley, pat bev, and kyrie irving). Then yall choked a 3-1 lead, if yall was so confident againist LeBron and nem, why not run it BACK.. the series between the cavs vs the warriors was 1-1. Why not run it back with the same roster on BOTH teams, why yall go out and recruit KD

    also anybody else notice their is some kind of social media blackout on negative steph curry coverage. This extends to forums like realgm, and reddit. You can critisize and start threads trashing players like kyrie, and harden all day and those threads stay up. But if you make a thread calling luka overweight or steph curry overrated. The thread gets shut down or locked. Quite sad

    ESPN hasnt mentioned the warriors start to the season once on their network. I wonder what would happen if harden, lebron and durant got blown out by 30 in back 2 back games

    Lol that dude is the greatest Curry apologist ever. All of Curry's teammates are bad thats why GSW sucks never mind Wiseman actually played better than Curry, he just an inferior version of Capela. Meanwhile GOAT shooter shooting 2/10 is fine because his team sucks.

    I recalled curry fans saying if Harden and curry swapped a while back, curry would have replicated harden's success since he's that good.

    I'm so confused.

    Curry plays with a squad of stars and he gets praised for his stats.

    Yet when he plays with scrubs he takes no blame when he cant produce?

    Typical Curry fan perspective

    Steph is arguably the most overrated superstar in the league.
    There are conversations about him being a top 2-3 PG of all time. Ridiculous

    Nash.Magic.Stockton.Kidd.Iverson.
    CP3.Payton.Parker.Isiah.

    Easily debatable he is not top 3.

    The wannabe Michael Jordan has been badly exposed. Harden carries our team way better than Stephen Curry.

    Curry can’t raise a floor of lesser players in nearly the same way Harden can. He isn’t as versatile a force in that regard. But his results speak for themselves when paired with other stars. His gravity is legendary and the driving force behind a dominant Warriors team even before KD. We don’t really know what Harden would do in that situation.

    It’s idiotic to think Curry could replicate what Harden does if they switched places but let’s not downplay how great Curry is just because Harden is undervalued.

    Rockets lose by 20+ last night if we had Steph instead of Harden...all that running around off-ball is cute, but when the talent level is low, it’s time to just put the ball in your best player’s hands and tell him to go to work

    Curry is clearly ahead of Nash, Stockton, Kidd, Iverson, CP3, and Payton since none of them led their teams to a title.

    Curry is clearly ahead of Parker and Isiah because neither of them won an MVP.

    Magic, Stockton, Isaiah

    Really I just don’t see him as a point guard. He’s a combo guard and great shooter.
    He’s not a very good facilitator and just a solid passer.
