Good game, Dame


Going into the break with the best record in the league and a 10 game winning streak to boot...

1 its funny how everybody has banded together to pray for us to lose to the point of even rooting for other teams. and im not even talking about you personally im talking about actual people in the league.

2. congratulations. you guys play hard every night and are hungry and in turn are winning. i wish we played hard in any game this season. any 1.

Yea bro, you knew this shit would eventually....this what winning does...

It's not anger just funny. It could be so much better if they had actually fucking tried to win games early out of the gate and put teams away instead of turn it on and treat all of these games including ones against other good teams as just another game.

My exact answer...When you start winning the way GSW wins you'll get your fair share of haters. Just comes with the territory.

But some of it is how them dudes carry themselves too, and I'm strictly talking on the court. They kinda got this aura of entitlement about them and when things don't go their way they lash out. That line between confidence and cocky, those guys cross it quite a bit and I'm thinking that It's rubbing some people the wrong way.

This is what happens when you win alot.. And its to be EXPECTED when a top 10 player of all time joins a 73 win title team. People should hate them. But even still, the hate isnt nearly as high as some would lead you to believe. Also, KD needs to stfu with his whining... He is becoming unbearable. Oh, and that same ref that ruled the sideline 3 point no good due to stepping out of bounds is the same ref KD talked shit to and gave hard looks at earlier in the game when he bumped into him. Shit like that matters man.

Because the refs whistle whip us. You can concede that point? The dudes are frustrated and tired and visibly so. Only 1 person on earth got whistle whipped and never complained, that's Tim Duncan.
Shit like that shouldn't matter MORE that's my problem. He penalized KD for that but don't penalize Dame for doing that type of shit in his face? I'm not arguing that they don't need to stop some of it. I am arguing that the refs are taking it out on them more which makes the games hard to fucking watch.

Ball goes thru the basket, and off Draymond Green's shoulder he never touches it with his hand, he gets a delay of game warning.

I'm supposed to just be chill about that?

My comment is kind of being taken more than face value. I'm not complaining or saying it in an ironic way of salt or hate or unexpected territory I'm saying that it's just downright funny lol like when i see it I laugh.

I believe that aura of entitlement is just how people perceive and hate them. That's OK. They don't lash out anymore than any other team when things don't go their way. We not gonna sit here and act like they complain about calls more than anyone else, they don't but somehow they get tech's all the damn time. We not gonna sit here and act like they don't get whistle whipped because they do. I don't care about physical play but it has to be allowed on both ends of the court and right now and this entire season it has not been




watch steph. how is that defense and how is that not a foul? This happens every game. If we could do that same shit to someone else I wouldn't care but you know damn well we cannot.

its the physical brand of basketball everyone claims they want back BUT you can only do it to 1 fucking team. that's bullshit if they tried that on any other team that's a foul all day.

For context
when you guys plays Boston I know you watched the game and you know I'm telling the truth about how The Celtics are allowed to hold hack and foul people and also get rewarded with a ton of calls that help shape out the games.
Now imagine that shit happened to you ever night to the point that's the book. The refs are not going to call you for holding them with 2 hand shoves and shit and will call a foul on you if they even think about it.

I was talking more about they hate vs then their play.....

But I do agree with that statement also

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

@largebillsonlyplease , you know your team is phenomenal and the hate is strong when an in season disputable loss and ONLY being 1/2 game out of having the best record in the league AT THE ALL STAR BREAK is a headline story on First Take, ESPN, etc. and has Haters pounding their chest for 2 pages on BGOL

I can only hope my sixers eventually SNIFF getting that level of jealousy and hate!

Respect to you good brother, the way you handle your haters is commendable

The 1st time the warriors won they got no respect. Everyone had every excuse in the book as to why they won. Saying the cavs were down 2 starters, ignoring they swept the ECF without those same starters. Saying we barely won when winning 4 out of 6 is barely winning on what planet? NONE. Going 2-4 is not almost winning anything ever but I digress. Then they had a chip and did their thing again fell short due to tons of things reloaded won I'm not mad I promise everyone when I say laugh It's not on some your girl is really pissed at you and then says "It's just funny"
it's actually funny when you see this type of shit



you just laugh and hope you see the teams that been rooting against you.

Preverbial Goal Post moving Bruh... I pick the Cavs to win it this year, maybe Im buying into the hype. But Im also smart enough not to be crowing about shit at the all star break... Da fuck can you even ATTEMPT to troll a fan of a team that has been as dominant as GS the past 3 years?!??!

Hate is a trip man!

I like it. I like that they want to beat us that's how it should be.
Just wish we wanted to send a message during the regular season too.

I want the traiblazers to put out a rockets hash tag of support after they eliminate them from the playoffs too

Man you know the Blazers normally play y'all tough in the regular season but find ways to slip during the playoffs


Kinda reminds me of them Drose led Bulls teams vs the Heat

The teams don't matter. I'm more mad at the whistle whipping and their lazy nature. It's stupid to just come out at +300 in the 3rd quarter instead of the 1st.

Even last night though it was a trash game. Shit the other weekend they played trash against the spurs too. they haven't been playing good all year.

@Complex , question Bruh...

Does the emergence of Brandon Ingram running point while Lonzo has been hurt impact Lonzo or how he is viewed by the organization at all? Ingram has been balling so, based on what you may be hearing, is this temporary, or might yall platoon them at PG? Dude has been impressive running point man

That's how they envisioned him, because he's still struggling shooting the ball consistently. When he was at dook he was better playing with the ball as opposed to off. He's not strong enough to have his back to the basket yet. He's been playing better as of late, but for the first couple of weeks he was struggling without Lonzo. The past two weeks he's played well though. I think him and Hart coming in to his own allowed them to get rid of Clarkson quicker. I think if they hadn't been playing well they would have kept Clarkson until the summer.

Respect Bro...
He's definitely looked good lately. Even maybe running him and Lonzo together sometimes too, with Lonzo off the ball may be a good look and give Lonzo more of the spot of Js he made so well at UCLA. That would be a big ass back court too

So nobody saw this

He can be frustrating. He's improving, but he still has a long ways to go.

I was just joking with another Laker fan the other day that he has one good game a week.

He isn't strong enough to take guards six seven inches shorter than him. Teams will routinely switch their point guard on him and he can't even use his length. Like tonight against Teague.

Low key I like Morey did....

Not even from a hate perspective because the warriors are still the team to beat...

But I like it because he setting the tone:

We want the number one seed, at all costs.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. That shit is legit to me, and it's needed more than ever in this league now where everybody is all buddy buddy with each other.

Fuck that shit. No new friends. Not until the end of June.

I was at the gym between sets when I wrote this so it has MAD typos... My fault, had to edit this shit
