    Y'all despise the Warriors so much simply because they busted the Rockets 8-1 and it clouds your judgement. Wishing or hoping for an ACL tear is not cool.

    Give it up. Warriors were better than us last season and significantly. They had the better coach, the MVP, and the better luck.

    And no Curry is not the worst defending PG in the NBA. That's just wrong.

    Spoken like a true cheesy, one-liner guy.

    I agree about the ACL thing.

    But as for Warriors hate, it goes back a few years. Not just last season.

    Where have you been?

    btw this is definitely the wrong way to go. sitting there rooting for a horrible injury to another person is pathetic.

    Yup. Warriors hate goes back to maybe 3 seasons ago. When both teams were on the rise and what seemed like a new rivalry was brewing. The 3 point shot record for a game, Boguts infamoud C U Next Time tweet, etc.

    Screw the Warriors.

    Here it is the beginning of the Warriors Hate.

    First article I could find about the record tying 3 pts and Boguts Tweet, and for the record I believe we won the season series against them that year 3-1.

    Not really. It's just hard to deny or ignore the talent on this team.

    I meant "I'm banking on the Clippers self destructing or crying in the playoffs falling short" not the spurs...Clips got too many erratic personalities that complain

    I mean, we should be able to hang with the Warriors better this year. But despite the injuries, it wasn't really the offense that killed us in games 1-2, it was the D. And honestly not sure where our shaky D will be this year either. We can probably outscore opponents on the way to another #2 seed. But we can't outscore the Warriors in a seven game series, we have to slow them down a little.

    but we lost games 1 and 2 by only a handfull of points with DMO/Beverly injured and Warriors were healthy. Now we're even stronger with a deeper bench. If Warriors had 2 vital players injured and we were healthy injury free would've beaten the Warriors in my opinion. The shoe on the other foot theory

    Kerr is very underrated along with the Hawks coach. A GM coach and winning it all in the first year. We are trying so hard to their rivalry. Morey needs to stop provoking him. Not even in the same level

    I agree with the Lowe's predictions except that the Bull's defence will remain good.

    But funny that you people called him an idiot and an ******* and now he is suddendly back to a good journalist. :rolleyes: Hypocrisy much?


    Also what he said about the 3point defence is absolutely right. The latest analytical studies that are available to the public have shown that the 3point defence depends on HOW MANY 3 pointers a defence allows more than anything else.

    Did you just say the reigning COTY is very underrated? Maybe it's because you don't know his name, so just call him the "Hawk's Coach" :p

    I just learned the Spurs Gms name in my 12 years of following this sport. R.C Buford.

    cool. I'm actually proud of you for not caring to know the name of the Spurs' GM. Another tidbit, Mike Budenholzer was Pops top assistant before going to the Hawks.
