NBA 2017-2018

Lillard 1st team all NBA?

Of course cp3 hurts his hamstring. Warriors in 7 is a lock. 

The dynasty is over. Rockets in 7

No Iggy again for Golden State. 

Yes, I know he's good but it's cracking me up with some of the bitching coming from Warriors fans about this. Your team has 4 (probable) future HOFer's in the starting lineup and the excuse you can't win is because Iggy's injured? I know he's a lockdown defender, etc but really?

While I do agree with you, a very underrated part of the warriors success is how good their 5-8 options are. Hasn’t nothing to do with the lame GS fans excuses about this game, but iggy and Livingston KILL the Cavs when we play them. And some random guy will hit 3 three pointers almost every game. Annoys the shit out of me that they have 4 future HOFers and somehow their bench guys still kill us.

Fuck that shit.  KD/Lebron trade spots and the media would be ripping Lebron a new one if he doesn't get out of the West.  There is no excuse for the Warriors to not win a title.  If the media is going to use 34 year old iggy as a crutch, that is bullshit.

As I just said above, it is 100% bullshit.  Draymond won DPOY last year and was in the running the last three years.  The warriors will still win this series, because once again they luck out with the opposing team having a key player get hurt, but any excuse they can go fuck themselves. 

This is the same group that says the 2015 Cavs missing Kyrie and Love is not a legitimate excuse.  Or the same group that cries about Draymond in the 2016 finals, but brushes aside the fact that Love also missed a game in the 2016 finals.   They are the fucking worst.

Perhaps, but it's predictable nonetheless.

Regarding your comment above, replying to S&L, it's not the media (or at least I haven't seen the media making excuses for the Warriors), it's their fans. So easy to bitch about other teams making excuses but when it's their own team or the "Durant's a bitch for joining a team he couldn't beat" comment comes up, opposing team's fans are "jealous" or "butthurt." Bunch of frigging hypocrites.

Um, it definitely IS the media who goes to bat for the Warriors.  (hypothetical)

G1 - "Steph's injury must be bad.  He didn't score much."

G2 - "Steph is not injured at all.  HE'S BACK, BABY! He scored 42!"

G3 - "Check that, he's injured."

G4 - "What injury!!!1!!!"

I meant regarding Iggy. I know they ride Steph's nuts. 

Who gives a shit what their fans say. Of course they’re homers.

CP out for game 6. Lol of course. The warriors are the luckiest fucking team in the world.

Didn’t think Houston would win game six anyways. Hopefully he’s back for game 7.

I didn't either, but in a super star driven league having your future HOFer PG playing gives you a fighters chance.  Now we don't even know if he will be healthy enough for game 7.

I’ve never seen such an undeserving group of players have such fortunate karma

Nice tease Houston lol. Gordon can’t keep that up and Harden always shrinks...plus mouthpiece won’t stay that cold from 3

Not buying...will still lose big

Refs are doing their best to hand this game to the GSW, it's fucking BS and obnoxious.

OH MY FUCKING GOSH I HATE FUCKING STEPH FUCKING STUPID FUCKING CURRY PIECE OF SHIT.  

That's all.

These refs are straight trash
