Curry is better this year. So is Thompson. So is Green. The Cavs are not better this year. Also, the Cavs only got a couple games in that series because Steph Curry ran remarkably and uncharacteristically cold for 7 quarter and an OT. The narrative of the series was "Lebron is the most best ever" and "Delladova is white grit personified" but as went Curry so went the series.
Curry is unbelievable right now. Best player in the league. However, can he maintain THIS level of play deep into the playoffs, when legs begin to get weary?
I don't know how you can just dismiss Love and Irving missing the finals last year.
Again, I'm not saying you're wrong, when it's all said and done. I think it's premature to put GS in that category just yet, though.
Have I mentioned how much I absolutely despise Pao Gasol? I can't even root for the Bulls tonight. It's like watching a bunch of anti-Pao Gasol's against the Bulls. They have to get rid of him, he is absolutely ruining my Bulls enjoyment. Can't root for them. Just can't. Can only root against them. Because of that 7' [expletive].
The San Antonio Spurs are the St. Louis Cardinals of the NBA.
As much as I loved the Bulls of the 90s I have a very hard time pulling for anyone outside Jimmy Buckets on that team right now. They're not fun to watch, they're not worth much emotional investment. Rose sucks now, Noah aged overnight, Pau is bland, they just kind of suck from an entertainment/fan perspective.
I agree 3's, although I like McDermot and Gibson and I still pull for Noah. I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned it before, but I just do not like Gasol.
Start road trip in Utah, win tough 3-point game.
Fly cross-coutnry to Charlotte. With jetlag, rout a good Hornets team on their floor 116-99.
Fly up to Toronto, play a very tough Raptors team to a 3-point win on their floor.
Fly to Brooklyn, take the Nets apart, winning by 16.
Fly to Indiana, play a very good Pacers team, beat them by 8 on their floor after entering the 4thQ with a 28-point lead and playing just your scrubs in the last quarter.
These are the games the Warriors are supposed to be dropping a few of even if we think they are an historically great team that loses only a dozen games this year. That they're not losing these games is pretty remarkable and speaks to how elite they are as a starting five and how deep they are as a full twelve. There are games Curry isn't even on the floor in the 4th quarter, he's staying incredibly fresh.
