No, just no. You hate Curry, and I have no idea why
2010: Curry was a rookie
2011: GSW was still bad as Don Nelson left - Sportsman of the year
2012: GSW was still awful - third coach in three years
2013: Klay and Green were rookies, still went to the WCSF - losing to SA in a close six games.
2014: Lost to Clips in seven, which is what got Mark Jackson fired
2015 : Curry wins MVP and championship. Curry carries Warriors to key Game four win in NBA Finals. GSW had injury lucked, but they have more than paid for it.
2016: Curry battles through injuries and Draymond was a moron in Game Four. Suspension doesn't happen = over in five
2020: Curry broke his hand and was out three months - GSW decided to tank
2021: Curry tried to carry a bunch of bums - Klay was still injured
2022: GSW is finally healthy for the first time since 2018 - Curry carries team to championship. Against Memphis, GSW took two out of three with Ja, and two out of three without Ja. Murray was injured, sure, but that series ended in five. Doubt Murray was worth three wins. Curry was coming off injury and still COOKED Joker
2023: Bad loss to Fakers, but Curry still dropped 50 in a game seven ON THE ROAD.
2024: GSW would have lost 69 games without Steph
2025: Steph Curry was injured in Game One against Minny - they win that series EASILY with a healthy Steph. Furthermore, GSW had success against OKC historically.
2026: Jimmy was injured, Moody was injured, Steph was injured
Lmfao that you actually typed this nonsense.
People trash curry mostly because of how much you fawn over him. You created an entire thread for him on the Paddock while everyone just laughed at how wrong you were constantly. Dont pretend its just me who thinks Curry is overrated.
Maxey talking all kinds of junk to the Boston fans and told them to get lost. Love it.
It is, and im not afraid to admit it lol.
But it is frustrating. Houston was the worst team over a 3 year span, and we never once got the #1 pick which could have been Cade, Chet, and Wemby.. and instead we get Jalen Green (gone), Jabari Smith (a 3rd option type of player) and Amen (jury out, struggles offensively).
Success really comes down to lottery odds.. er, who stern/silver want to deliver the #1 pick to.
It felt like the Spurs were shadow tanking the whole time and the NBA was slobbering over scum Popovich.
Maxey going berzerker. He brought A.I. out of his seat. Man I hope they take down the trash Celtics again.
Lebron is still amazing and Reed Sheppard has been terrible
Reed was so bad tonight that Arkansas fans are going to quit claiming him as one of their own.
Yeah this was always the downside to Reed. Just not an NBA body or athleticism. Gets torched on defense, can get bullied by bigger guards and if his shot isnt falling than he really cant be on the floor.
Honestly he probably returns to college if not for that being one of the worst draft classes ever. But he knew he couldn't turn down top5 pick money.

It's a fair point. But KD isn't considered the GOAT by a select few goobers, or a top5, top10 or top15 player, or the best player at his position. Curry has had all those things said about him.
He's definitely over-hyped. I rarely watched them play because I loathe Green and Kerr.
Nuggets my favorite team. Ugly injury for Ant Man and also DeVincinzo wheeled out of the arena. Wow.

OP is burning it all down now since his Houston Rockets turned out to be such a joke.
Houston needs a win tonight, with their backs against the wall. It would be nice to see Reed step up, have a good one and help them get it. You gotta give the Lakers credit, they've been pretty fabulous, playing with 56 ppg on the sideline. Amazing, actually ...
Id rather Houston just lose. They gotta make a lot of changes. KD seems to have full on quit the team.
Not a good board for NBA. When you had a pretty heavy portion of this board saying Oweh wasn’t going to return due to staying in the draft, I knew this was not the place to discuss the league. You also had a good decent chunk of people saying that Moreno was going to be a first rounder. Don’t care what some random mock says — if you follow the NBA and the draft close enough you know better. Particularly in the current era.
Also, almost anyone who says college players in the portal are not good because them being there means they “weren’t good enough to make the NBA” —- if I hear that, I immediately know that person both doesn’t know NBA or CBB.
I will fully admit I don't know anything about the NBA. Not a CBB expert either by any means but watch enough games to deserve to be loud and obnoxious about it
I agree. Real changes are only made after true pain is felt.
Unfortunately, a similar mindset on this board (wanting the ultimate wellbeing for UK bball) gets you labeled as a fake fan.
Houston should be better than this. I don’t know what the problem is but they are under achieving.
Looks like Denver is too. But with Antman and Vinny going out they have a sliver of a chance. But 3-1 is tough.
Neither team can beat the Spurs though. So it doesn’t really matter.
OKC/Spurs west finals.
East is hard to say. Boston vs who?
Maybe the most bewildering thing about Houston, is Udoka. He was sort of the mastermind behind making the Celtics into contenders, and I was amped when Houston got him. I also thought Joe Mazzula was just taking Udokas formula and coasting on his success..
Not only is Udoka proving to be maybe not as good as we thought, but Mazzula is really cooking now. I know Boston has a great roster for him to work with, but Tatum missed the first like 5 months of the season.
Ill be rooting for Denver and Jokic.
