I doubt it. (lol)
Durant signs with Warriors
- Thread starter Spectrum
- Start date
I doubt it. (lol)
Why wouldn't it? It's the same team only stronger. People are expecting great things. I'm not disagreeing but what you nor Jay-Vill seem to want to come to terms with is it's ring chasing, probably the best example of it in sports history
Isn't that the definition of chasing a ring or did I miss something? It's like you're saying it without wanting to flat out say it
They will see for sure
Let them loose a couple of games and the outside noise come in.
Different ball game then
Wait till Ayesha tweets about Durant not passing when she thinks he should
Wait till they make up false stories to start drama
Wait till they go back to OKC and Durant gets booed every touch and tries to do too much
I don't envy them at all.
Lived through it down here
wtf lol
nah shit takes a year just to gel. i just know curry won't win another mvp now. No way him or Klay puts up those same numbers.If everybody stay healthy they are your 2017 World Champs
Mostly every great team I know has no more than two great superstars, usually one great specialist and great roll players..
Superstars usually make roll players play better and roll payers make super stars play like the stars they are, even with the show time Lakers there was only two great superstars Kareem and Magic, the rest of the players including the great Worthy were forced to give up their greatness in order for that team to be great...
The Bulls had two superstars Jordan, Pippen, with Roodman the specialist super roll player.. You can go on and on year to year and see the same format repeating itself...
But in this day and age of video game basketball and fantasy sports, folks like to project numbers not based off the shots available but based off the shots available when they played on a team that allowed them to shoot at will..
The big fact that scares me most about Durant is that when he is not scoring big he isn't doing shit on the court, if that weren't the case there is no way they would have lost three strait the way they did..
With a coach of the year
Fresh off a championship and a Finals appearance
People that say it's the same are the same ones tortured that LeBron won this year
Those records are damn near impossible to touch. You need the perfect storm to even come close. As far as ring chasing? No one is discounting the move. What we're saying though is that folks are NOT looking at the obvious. Based on the playoffs it's clear OKC was close as hell to dethroning the GSW. If anything it showed that those two teams would be battling for the Western Conference and GSW winning was no longer a given. However, you can't trade a KEY piece to that team and still think you're actually going to COMPETE with GSW. That ain't going to happen. They have the personnel and the synergy to get in that ass. Yes, I agree with you. He's going for a ring. No, I don't think it was the only reason. Up until the Ibaka trade I would say he believed they were close enough to roll the dice again. After the trade? Not so much.
that contract that curry signed when he was worried about his ankles were the best thing ever for the warriors franchise. gonna be interesting to see how these egos mesh. especially klay and draymond. i mean you were the man, had your own team. now you just going to be a piece. just glad i didnt buy me a kd jersey about a month ago. i'm a big okc fan and liked watching the warriors play but i cant ride with this shit

We all know why Curry signed that contract, but the Warriors would have been much better off taking care of their own, before looking for another savior to right the ship...
What is the mod like with Thunder Nation?
How do they feel about Durant?
How will this affect the Warriros style of play now? Does Durant expect to get a certain amount of touches? Or does he prefer being a role player they can dish to when he gets good looks at the basket?
I'm hoping it's the latter.

I don't consider them "super" stars. Stars yes, "super" stars not so much. Why? Lebron is a SUPER star. No one on GSW is officiated and given the kind of consideration he gets. He gets Jordan consideration. Kobe consideration. That's the difference between SUPER stars and stars. My opinion of course. I think the logic behind there is one ball is a valid one. However, Jordan's philosophy on scoring was 8,8,8,8. The points come (depending on your skills) without the need for twenty plus shots a game. Personally I see Curry and Thompson having a field day. Imagine what would have happened if Cleveland opted to guard Curry one on one versus doubling and triple teaming him the whole series? With that addition of Durant you can't do that....It's still an experiment though....
idk about keeping him but def no trade for wade
KD with curry klay and draymond is allot of fire power on one squad,seeing that if healthy cleveland will most likely end up in the finals again seeing that GS is now even a more super power and they will most likely be there again we have to get better somehow and Love is the only thing we can use to acquire players to get better if not wade being that he feels unloved by miami right now then someone else
Everybody comparing Lebron to KD. First off Lebron asked Cleveland to get him some help. They didn't do that that's why he left. OKC was stacked to take on any team in the league. Its their fault they lost to Golden State. They were up 3 to 1 and they blew it. OKC even went out to get more scoring. KD left Westbrook ... Lebron left nobody hanging. Can't compare the two.
His game will most likely soar. Far better, easier shots. Ain't no way you're going to key on him with shooters like Thompson and Curry on the court.
He was <this close> to the finals and should have been there but Westbrook has one year remaining...Sign for one year and try it one last time
and there is more money next year when the salary caps increase ..
Fam had a tough choice. Stay and fight it out, maybe miss out on a ring and if they got one he'd be a fucking OKC Legend... Or go to GSW and have that lil asterisk and people debating him forever. I'm not mad at the brother, I'm a simply calling it as I see it
Where is the "world" coming from? I'm not attacking you, I'm just amazed we still use this title when we're the only ones playing it. I see soccer champs as World champions, not a game played in the US.
Durant will be fine
Simply because that offense will be built around him and steph
Klay, Draymond and everyone else will get in where they fit in....its simple

I get what you're saying. Not disagreeing. Just saying every championship either has an asterisk or has the potential to have one. Nine years is enough. It's a career for most players.
That's what I'm thinking they'll be threats on all corners of the court.
Hope this works out for the Warriors.
Look, OKC let Harding go, he wanted Horford, they didn't get him. They fired Scott brooks. He don't want more of that shit. He also said he wants to get into Computers. What better place than here. Not to mention we about to get a new billion dollar arena across the bridge in San Francisco. OKC is a wack ass place to live also. Even for a a few months. Durant is friends with Iggy and Draymond. They go to church and shit together. This is a win. Also fuck Stephen A Bitch with his tantrums talking shit. Hate that nigga.
