    Thanks, Mr. Buzzkill.

    Everyone knows we aren't a contender.

    Thus why we take great pleasure in shoving it right in the faces of the smug contenders.

    The funny thing is that Gordon always b****es about legit calls but he did not protest that no call whatsoever

    Replying to a previous poster about Harden's handles:

    I think he's a very good ball handler, but what it seems like to me is he's too nonchalant with the ball when a double team is coming.

    It seems like he doesn't anticipate how much effort the defenders are going to exert until it's too late. You watch those times when he's trapped and he has enough time to get the pass away before the second defender closes it up - but he doesn't on occasions.

    Not so sure about that. He has solid handles but I'm not sure I would call them elite. It depends what you judge handles on. He has some really nice moves but he is ridiculously loose with the ball, which both works in his favour and against him.

    Chris Paul is someone who I would regard as having an 'elite' handle. The ball is stuck to his body and he is very very tight with the rock. He may not be flashy but for me: substance > flash

    I don't know if any of you guys follow Nate Duncan on Twitter but he is becoming completely unhinged from this Draymond kicking incident using the weakest examples to defend Draymond smh. He lives in SF or something like that, and dude seriously claims he's not a Warriors fan, but his bias has been apparent for over two years now. Had to unfollow him. I liked seeing his insight on other teams from time to time, but these so-called "neutral," but insightful analysts have such a huge hard-on for the Warriors that it's off-putting. It's crazy how much the the majority of the media rides the Warriors... who the heck defends Draymond Green when he's kicking dudes in the nuts and in the face...

    I'm only just watching the replay now and oh my freaking god can the warriors be any bigger b****es, from top to bottom? Kerr complains, the players complain, their commentators talk **** all game and when they arent claiming golden state are the greatest they complain... It is unbelievable how entitled they act. And they wonder why nobody likes them! f golden state!
