    Ditto, I don't fault him for it. I'm just jealous they have a good owner and we are stuck with cheap Tillman.

    I don't care how their core was created. I don't fault players for leaving crap organizations like most do. Everyone who wanted Lebron to stay in Cleveland and never win is just foolish. If you get dealt bad cards you fold and get new cards. You shouldn't get punished for how your super teams are made since everyone needs a super team to win. Except Hakeem Olajuwon.

    Yep. Should thank LaVar for talking the Lakers into drafting Lonzo.

    But then, the Cavs should have taken Tatum. Maybe the Lakers would take Fultz then. LOL.

    Golden St. Was always better. Get out of the middle of the street. It had nothing to do with one guy. The Warriors own the West and have been kicking the Western Conference’s ass for years. 6th Finals in 8 years. 18-0 vs the West in that span. They were just better.

    Boston has a great defense, but don't forget that the Warriors were #1 by a pretty wide margin this season until Draymond Green went down with an injury. Their defense fell off without him and they finished #2 behind Boston. At best for Boston, the defenses are a wash--at worst, Golden State is actually better on that end.

    And I think Golden State's offense is quite a bit stronger, with more potential answers. For Boston, if Tatum can't have huge and efficient scoring games, their chances to find consistent offense are close to 0. Golden State can feature a number of players any given night and is willing to shoot from three, the mid-range or drive to the hoop--whatever's most efficient at a given time.

    Sucked at getting cheapman to sign 3 all stars to play alongside him

    Curry was probably only the 3rd most important player on the warriors after cupcake and draymond

    Reading comprehension is important. Get Hardens jock out of your throat. When the Warriors were healthy over the last 8 years, they are 18-0 (in playoff series) vs the Western Conference. They are 72-21 over that span and have been to the Finals 6 times. They have owned the West. It’s been a dominant run for their organization and that core group of players.
