    You underestimate the hate he gets.

    This is no different than what lebrin did before in Cleveland with mo Williams. And he still got hate for not winning.

    Maybe people will respect it after he retires been not currently.

    *waits for the lebron memes once they lose*

    Iguodala is the guy here.... but I am not feeling that Draymond and Livingston can keep that up for several seasons

    They would be borderline allstars like Korver :p

    I am hoping Klay Thompson will have one or two bad seasons in his career ;)

    iggy has been trash shooting free throws this year but for his career, he isn't TOO bad. i don't think it'll work for long, but we'll see if iggy is on that "nick the brick" status.

    Watch out bro you might fall off that high horse you're on. Some more life advice.

    Anyways.
    Goes to show how perceptions change. Curry used to the lowkey underdog favorite.

    The reporters in the presser are criticizing Blatt for not playing Mozgov more. It was the right move. Warriors went small, so the Cavs had to match. Do these reporters know anything about basketball?

    Before the kyrie injury I was looking forward to steph vs. Kyrie.

    Stephen finally playing a somewhat healthy starting point guard who can make him work on both ends.

    Stephen is getting away with conserving energy by guarding non offensive threats line dellevedova and shumpert.

    Too bad kyrie is made of glass

    Lebron is way to inefficient in terms of scoring.

    Worst thing about this is Warriors lucked out when we were supposed to luck out (and we didn't even luck out).

    Gonna be a lot harder to get back to the WCF next season with:

    Warriors same team
    Thunder healthy
    Clippers healthy (invest in bench)
    Spurs retooled or otherwise
    Mavericks with a major acquisition
    Pelicans bad matchup for us

    All trying to contend.
    Assuming Memphis loses Gasol and if they don't they are right back up there in the contention window as well.

    I agree with this. I hate that guy. Dude needs to close his mouth. Good teammate though.

    Only because the NBA punishes big men. It's sad what's happening to the game that a team can go small and not get punished in the half court game for it. Unless the NBA starts calling the post game correctly and not let smaller guys get away with using both hands, constant falling, and flopping.

    It's insane to me that a coach has to take out a bigger player...to match another team playing small. May as well just get rid of the center position at this rate.

    Gotta play Marion, Miller & Jones! Come on Blatt! Gotta expand your rotation, give these other guys a rest!

    Well uhh...so much for those clamoring for that. And rest? Nope.

    LeBron: [stilled played] 45 minutes
    Dellavedleaguer: 42 minutes
    Thompson: 40 minutes
    Shumpert: 37 minutes
    Smith: 36 minutes
    Jones: 18 minutes
    Miller: 14 minutes
    Mozgov: 9 minutes

    The good thing for us is that no team has seen us healthy either. Unlike the Warriors who are fully healthy.

    Who said those two were going to swing the game though? Just that they could spot some guys some rest.

    I specifically said if they can play a few minutes and hit a single shot or two then they've done their job.

    That's why I really wanted to win this year.

    I hate how its always "next year" with rockets instead of capitalizing off current oppotunites.

    Sometimes you just need luck to win a title and capitalize off the moment.

    One made shot and did they really give the other guys a rest? Really, did they? Fine, Mozgov got his rest.

    The way the game is called now Shaw would be a 16/8 center and get fouled out every other game.

    Ridiculous what they let smaller players get away with just because they're snall.

    what is he point in even having strength if you can't even use it? Smh
