    Logic isn't taking suggested trades from 3 years ago and looking at them in a vacuum like nothing else would have transpired after that.

    His dribbling was impressive tonight. He improves a tad after every plane ride.

    holic on the Warriors fan forum:
    "Draymond needs to be cut. He cannot be trusted against the Rockets' death lineup. He doesn't have the skills. Capela will sag off on him every play and grab 30 rebounds a game. Sorry guys, Draymond is a detriment to this team, and that's why Warriors are not contenders"

    Warriors have 5 allstars, 6 with Iggy who was a multiple all star in the East. Using them as the basis for everything is dumb nobody expects him to beat a team with 6 allstars.

    Dude just admit you were wrong about Clint he is averaging 17 and 12 on 64% FG. You STILL think Thong Maker is better? C'mon bro.

    Lineup of death has 5 all stars, not how an 18M shooter/switch defender is supposed to beat KD lol.

    Your examples don't really make sense Anthony Randoplh? Really? Dude's been out of the league since 2014 you think he can come in and match up with some of the best NBA players like Steph, KD and Klay? Lol!

    Of course. He can't dominate the Warriors by scoring 29 points and grabbing 21 rebounds. How can we beat them with that kind of performance, right? We need some guy who can score 40 points and take 30 rebounds a game to have a chance. And of course that guy is NOT in the NBA. He is in some league out there if only Morey is smart enough to pick him up.

    Everyone could pitch in $20 to donate to Morey on the condition that he debate Holic on the merits of Capela on the team. It would be a fun chat.

    Capela had the best Defensive rating on our team in the series against GS, and also shot like .700 from the field, take into consideration that he is a better player than last year, and also the Warriors will run less of a small lineup with Cousins in the mix. Clint will serve us fine and a series against GS. I am really not understanding where you get your logic from...

    There is probably only 3 starting centers in the league that can defend guards on the perimeter as well as or better than Clint....

    Whatever.

    Seeing as how only 8 teams have won titles in the post-Jordan era, that's the kind of simple no-basketball-knowledge-needed prediction that plays in your favor. You love those because you can keep telling yourself that you're some kind of basketball savant.

    TRUE Rockets fans know that we would have won last year if not for a CP3 hamstring. If you're slimy enough to use that to weasel into an "I'm always right!" statement, more power to you.

    Everyone on ClutchFans knows you're a poser, though.*

    *Except for your multiple burner accounts, who will keep singing your praises.

    I don't think there are even 3. I think it's Draymond then Capela.

    Injuries are a given, but they shouldn’t be an excuse. Our full strength squad, with Clint Capela playing substantially, would have taken down one of the historically great teams of all time (according to the mba experts). Your thesis has constantly been that Clint was not a good enough center to contribute meaningfully to a championship season. Just bc the injury happened doesn’t change that our squad could have won with Clint against a historic team but for fate, which means that Clint is good enough to be a meaningful center on a championship team. You just can’t ever admit you’re wrong. If you’d occasionally admit to being wrong, you might find more people appreciating you when you are right.

    r****ded? I’m relatively comfortable with my level of intelligence. Also, people are still using that term?

    We’ve beaten GSW twice. The lineup of death has gotten older this year. While they’re still the favorite, GSW has regressed significantly.

    Agreed. We need guys who can dominate the best team of all time like...

    *checks notes*

    ....Thon Maker, Ricky Rubio, and Anthony Randolph?
