    Warriors were playing without any energy in the 3rd and had just given up something like a 7-0 run.

    We overcame a 20-point deficit in 1.5 quarters and beat the Clippers (arguably a top 5, maybe top 3 team) when Harden was taken out of the game, literally.

    And people like you never fail to remind us. That game was an anomaly. Fluke game by Brewer & Josh Smith.

    GSW almost made it to the WCF without Curry in their line-up. You think Houston can make it to the playoffs, let alone WCF, without Harden? plz

    GSW doing fine w/o Curry is more than a few fluke games, it is an established pattern now. You can't even argue this is a case of Curry making his teammates better, as he is literally not playing at all when GSW is beating all these teams.

    Curious what the bench plus/minus is vs Curry/Thompson. The Warriors bench shredded the Thunder in the last round.

    No need to be defensive. I've been reminding people that our so-called WCF achievement was a fluke achievement. Yet many people still taut that we were the second best team in the West.

    BTW, last night's game was a fluke game too. It's one thing that Curry had an off game and the team covered for him. It totally different when both Curry and Thompson couldn't find the basket and they still won by a wide margin. Even the worst Curry haters would not say that Livingston and Barbosa was the reason why the Warriors were so good.

    What's wrong with having a super team? This is the NBA, you're supposed to see the best players ever and a team made up of superstars is better than a team with just 1 superstar.

    If you want to watch mediocre basketball then watch your neighborhood pickup game or something. Complaining about superteams in the NBA is like going to Mcdonald's and then complaining why they don't have healthy food, I mean what do you expect?

    NBA has had super teams since the 80's, what do you call Bad Boys, MJ Bulls, Showtime lakers etc? Celtics even coined the Big 3 term because they had 3 superstars instead of just 2.

    [rQUOTEr]Cavaliers reluctant to pay $1,300 for Finals tickets, unhappy with seat location

    Several members of the Cleveland Cavaliers decided to pass on purchasing tickets to Games 1 and 2 in Oakland, California, after they were upset about the price the Golden State Warriors were charging and the location of the seats, sources told ESPN.

    The Warriors offered the Cavaliers lower-level tickets, in the corners of the arena, to buy for their friends and family for $1,300 each. Last year, those tickets were about half that price, sources said.

    Cavaliers spokesman Tad Carper declined to comment on the issue.

    A Warriors spokesperson said prices went up for fans and players on both teams because of supply and demand.

    Golden State officials could not confirm that Warriors players were charged the same price as Cavaliers players were, but they did say that the location of the seats was the same as the team was offered last year for the Finals.

    The $1,300 price still comes at a discount as compared to the face value of those seats for season-ticket holders, who pay $1,600 each.[/rQUOTEr]

    A "super team," in the Warriors' case, that was put together through mostly through the draft and minor-at-the-time trades and free agent signings. That isn't what most people think of when they talk disparagingly of "super teams."

    Oh, man, Shaun Livingston and Andre Iguodala, two of the most sought-after free agents of all-time, both decided to team up to win titles in Golden State! How unfair.

    Don't forget the Super team they formed by drafting Klay with the 11th pick and Draymond in the 2nd round. What a Super team!
