    Which group is more out of touch with reality - flat-Earth truthers or better-without-Durant truthers? Idiots.

    At least the TrailBlazers twitter account has a sense of humor...

    haven't really been in this thread at all and didn't know you were referencing them. but i've personally only heard warrior fans (from the bay area) say they're better without kd. mainly because of that winning streak they had. something about they're more committed to defense and steph becomes the alpha.

    It doesn't matter if Warriors are better with or without KD. All they had to make sure was that he didn't stay at OKC or go to the Cavs, Spurs or the Rockets.

    lol it's such a luxury to play on the warriors. you can chuck up shots like steph or klay (even though they still hit a ridiculous percentage) and get away with it because their team is usually so much more talented than other teams and their defense is good enough to compensate even if they have an off night.

    Impressive job by Mike Brown. Hopefully he gets the 4th (HC) shot he so desperately deserves. Teams looking for a winner should hire Mike. Great job tonight!

    :cool:

    the irony is that the warriors basically have four team USA players out there haha

    makes me wonder what type of numbers chuckers like JR could put up in this warriors system though. you have the green light and can be bailed out by elite defense 90% of the time

    Can you imagine if he wins in the finals against Lebron?

    I noticed the crowd booed every time Meyers Leonard shot a 3. Is that a new thing or has that been going on for a while?

    edit: quick twitter search shows that Blazers fans HATE Meyers Leonard.
