    Is that why you didn't counter anything I said?

    We were also favorites against the Spurs after their injuries.

    Not necessarily. The next five highest spending teams last year were the Nets, Clippers, Timberwolves, Bucks and Lakers. Only one of those teams had good chemistry.

    There is no doubt of that. Even if he inherited Curry and the others, he'd manage to screw it up.

    it's 1 game anything can happen. Not like Kawhi was injured at out the whole series. Who cares even if we win that. We weren't beating the Warriors with that roster.
    cuz they aren't even close to the warriors in payroll. The warriors have repeater tax for keeping the team together for soo long. They are about to spend close to 500 million dollars next year....

    You consider a repeater tax to be part of payroll? Weird.

    of course it is. It's meant for competitive balance and he's the only owner willing to spend into it.

    Your memory is off. Kawhi played every game that series and got hurt at the end of game 5. He then got hurt again in game 1 of WCF against warriors and never played again

    Sorry, but it's ridiculous to consider "repeater tax" to be part of payroll.

    Let's say you file your income tax return and owe the government $500. Let's also say that you refuse to pay and are assessed fines and penalties totalling $1,000. You now owe the government $1,500.

    Is your income tax $500 or $1,500?

    Harden is widely ridiculed for playing like trash in game 6 against a Spurs team without Kawhi or Tony Parker.

    I didn't say he played well did I. You just said Kawhi didn't play thst series when in fact he played almost every game and got them to a 3-2 lead. Some say Harden had a concussion in game 6.

    My point wasn't about Harden. It was that he was ridiculed for playing poorly against the Spurs in game 6 when they were missing Kawhi/Parker.

    You had previously stated that Kawhi played every game that series. And you also told me my memory was off....

    And at no point did I say that Kawhi didn't play that series.

    Please work on your reading comprehension.

    I don't know how else to interpret this. You clearly thought Kawhi was out the whole series...

    Kawhi missed game 6. Who knows how he would've fared in a game 7 on a gimpy ankle?
