You know how bad I wanted a Warriors v Heat finals
Barkley said st the start of the season they getting older. And as you get older you don't get better. You just get old. Shit sounds like it's true for this team.
He said the same thing before the last title run!
And he has barely conceded that a jump shooting team can win a championship…
“Klank Thompson”
@Amajorfucup— The real bandwagon fans are the ones who stick with the team but turn on the players.
We’re 13 games into the season, this shit is ridiculous. Klay made 300 threes last year on over 40% shooting! These “fans” are pathetic.
Now we're bout to learn the difference between a Warriors fan and a Steph Curry stan. 30 wanted all his teammates back and pressured the front office to keep them. Team is loaded with HOFers and all stars, they gotta find a way out of this.
Doe, you be asking for THEE worst matchups bro
Straight for the Top Dawg.Salute to the Heat but remember, y’all are Jimmy, Bam and a bunch of G leaguers. Herro coming into his own but until he get there, you should be wanting a matchup with like the Kings or somebody.
Yes we know. That's your second team and Curry is one of your favorite players. You give him a grace and respect you've never given the GOAT, and he never had to play for Miami to get it. Hence, the Heat having a trash fanbase that cares more about politics and appearances over championships.
The GOAT doesn't work in or play for Silicon Valley. But by every available metric, Silicon Valley makes the most money off his likeness and draws the most engagement from it. When you factor in the length of his superstardom and reign as league face, LeBron is easily the biggest draw in NBA history and the biggest basketball star in history. 1 of 1.
His three attempts have dropped a lot
I think he's having a harder time to shoot off the dribble
I thought his offense would last longer than this. He might need to change his game and become more of a floor spacer and shooting off the pass.
Klay is a rapidly declining player. No surprise he struggled without Steph on court. He opens up shit for all those guys.. its why Draymond hates playing without him... he too would get exposed if he was actually expected to participate offensively and not just set a bunch of picks for Curry.
Klay is playing through an injury that up until VERY recently was the end of any athletes' career.
That's the injury that basically ended Kobe's time being able to drop 40 on you just cause you look at him funny.... 8 years ago.
An Achilles is what brought down the entire Trojan empire. Y'all gonna stop acting like Klay is just old and washed now.
If anything, Klay should talk to someone like Ray Allen. Ray was able to change his game up to better fix a team current needs twice and both of those teams won a title with Allen playing his role.

The Celtics have an organic fanbase that's rooted for them before 2015. They're not just a bunch of Kobe and Air Jordan rejects looking for a team to cheer for over the GOAT. Context matters. No one should be shocked by how fickle they are. Steph is the only one that will be appreciated and celebrated long term. We've seen this movie before.
It didn't end careers, but it changed it. Domonique had to change his game. Same with Kobe and Elton Brand.
Klay's issue was he was pretty one dimensional and too reliant on just shooting. His dribbling is Jaylen Brown level and he's a terrible finisher. He never really added to his game.
Ray became a more shooting off the pass, which is what I was saying Klay needs to do, but a lot of that would be based on Steph being doubled and creating space. Nobody else on their team can create their own shot like that. Which is why I think they sort of miss Poole.
I think westbrook wanted to come off the bench to allow harden to play his game to try to help him get into game shape which also could open things up without it being crowded with all 4 of them on the court at the same time.
I see what you did there.
Not going to happen
I think had that punch never happened GS would have probably moved on from Draymond and been grooming Poole. It's honestly why the punch was thrown in the first place
You should listen to the episode with norris cole
Well...
Bring me the king

If anybody has their panties in a bunch it's the pussy ass Jordan fan in Houston that has to use the ignore option because he can't stand to see criticism of his precious Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant.
And once again a compliment towards LeBron has to be accompanied by a backhand at his fans instead of just posting. Predictable and boring, like you jumping on the Rockets bandwagon after they beat the GOAT.
4 years later, a lot of Bean's fans are still hating so it was all for naught. Oh well.
Teams and fans are always full of shit. That’s why players should take the most money every damn time!! They both only like you when you can produce now
Sports fans are expected to stay loyal to the corporation in all circumstances, with the exception of a franchise moving. If you as a consumer decide to favor another product that gives you more joy, you are scorned as a "bandwagoner" because no matter how much a team loses, no matter what ownership does, no matter who is on the roster, you are supposed to stay loyal to your team. There's more loyalty expected in a fan/franchise relationship than a husband/wife one.
But the players who actually make sports worth watching are disposable. Klay Thompson is one of only three players in the entire NBA who has been with his team for over a decade. He was INDESPENSIBLE to FOUR CHAMPIONSHIPS. (They would have 5 if he didn't get hurt in the Finals, regardless of KD's injury.) But a lot of fans turn on a player like him as soon as he falls off. There is zero shame in turning on a past his prime player but there is a huge stigma against abandoning a losing team.
That's an illogical contradiction and it says something that goes beyond sports about how our culture views workers and corporations.
