Funny the Warriors probably win 65+ games and people act like they are dysfunctional.

Not saying it's everyone, but in the last few weeks, there has been a narrative by some that the Warriors are struggling and taken down a notch.

All while they probably will end up having a top 10 season of all-time. I guess with a lack of playoff races or big story lines down the stretch, they need to talk about something.

This is a shocker to you? The media does this to good teams all the time in all sports. A few examples:

-The past 7 Lebron teams
-Warriors this season
-Patriots a couple years ago when they started 2-2 (OMG .500 after 4 games) and the media declared their dynasty dead. They went on to win 10 of their next 12 games to secure home field and eventually won the SB.

Nobody actually legitimately believed the Warriors were falling apart.

Thunder blew a big early lead and didn't get a stop the last 6 possessions I watched and lost it late. Spurs got a couple good calls late that led to 4 crucial free throws

Wonder if we have enough interest to do an NBA mock draft in a couple months.

Not necessary by Stephenson but the butt hurt is over the top by a lot IMO. Big deal.

Considering DeRozen did a windmill at the buzzer versus the Sixers, Toronto can fuck off. GSW of the east.

House to myself on a Friday night, watching some games.

Cavs couldn't hit a shot, Hawks couldn't miss.

Jazz - Wolves: Too much Ref interference. Let em play and GTFO

Suns - Thunder: Thunder down 20, I expect Russ to go off 2nd half (I hope).


Fun flipping back and fourth.

Jazz are a tough team, prob bounced in the first round depending on matchup but tough. Exum isn't what advertised, but he's playing a solid defensive game tonight.

Where's Ironman tonight, I assume he's watching ball.

Just an embarrassing lack of Def in Lakers Kings game. I feel like even the NCAA is watching this and lolling.
