    God - I could only imagine what type of ridiculous **** Worrell or Clyde would say in that position.

    To the winner goes the spoils... even if they are butt wipes.

    That being said, we'll see if the Warriors are as healthy next year. I doubt it two years in a row.

    "We owe our rings to all the teams we played that each had multiple key injuries. Thank God for that. Thank god."


    That is what he should have said

    It's been sad and pathetic watching all the bandwagon Warriors here in SF.

    Most folks here are transplants and couldn't name more than 1 or 2 players yet celebrated like they've been following the team through all the rough times in the 80s and 90s, as well as the Todd Fuller, Patrick O Bryant and Ike Diogu drafts.

    James Harden doesn't travel on his Eurostep - he just doesn't pick up his dribble until after his first step but people don't see it and count that as 3 steps when it's really only 2.

    Not his fault people don't see it.

    Lebron travels a lot but not as much as people make out.

    Say what you will about Bill and Clyde, but they aren't disrespectful little ****s like the homer that went up on that stage.

    I know what your saying and agree, but you explained it wrong. You said he doesn't pick up his dribble until after "his first step". That's the key. But it isn't his first step until he gathers. The way to explain it is to use terminology that refs use

    It is a delayed gather. People think he has already planted a foot. But he hasn't. He must gather the ball first. So these great drivers in the nba learned to make their lead foot the pivot. They gather on drives with the back foot already off the ground. The gather as front foot of a long stride is pivot. Then they have two more steps After that

    People scream that the nba doesn't call travels consistantly like HS and NCAA as if they are purer. That's no it. It's just that only the pros have learned the delayed gather and usually only the superstars get to utilize it

    Typical GSW rhetoric... I have been enduring these dumbash fans all season. Would not expect less than this. It actually disempowers them, which is kind of ironic... like a nuveau rich dynamic. They haven't been relevant for a while so now they don't know how to handle it... just like poor people winning the lottery.

    Who is "they"? The commentators can talk trash at the parade and we can laugh at their terrible sense of humor. The commentators themselves will have no signature calls from the playoffs and that guy was trying to seize the moment. The Warriors were never really challenged.

    The "joke" is not funny. Why would throwing your opponents under the bus as cheaters/weak make the team look better? I guess I need to watch the rest of his speech to understand his statement, but how far have the Warriors really traveled? They were expected to win the championship by many people. If the conferences weren't skewed, the championship odds would have been all Warriors.

    Only Harden gets hit or tripped the whole time prior and even off his layup. I guess the "Euro" step is traveling to the non-keen observer but only it's not. :grin:

    Well - I don't think Bill or Clyde would talk about other players at a celebration like that. Truth is all you should talk about is YOUR team, but if they like to relish in perpetual disdain to others at their championship celebration then it's actually very telling - they're chumps and, it'll be a long time before they hoist another title.

    This should be a jab at the officiating and should be fined accordingly.

    He's pretty much saying Harden and LeBron get away with travelling all the time right? Cause I don't think they get called very much as all for travelling.
