He is and also the warriors were the favorites in Vegas immediately following their loss last season. If someone wants to ignore that so be it. Both statements are true. He's both the best player on the team and surrounded by a team that broke records without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FluffSnackwell Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Maybe the Pelicans buy into the Lonzo Ball hype and then re-sign Cousins so him and LaVar Ball can constantly engage in epic social media bitchfights when somebody needs to be thrown under the bus as the team still struggles to win 35 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FluffSnackwell Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 If the league doesn't arbitrarily suspend Draymond for some nebulous bullshit, last year's Finals is over in five games, the Warriors don't recruit Durant so no super team and they finally run out of steam and lose this year's Finals to the Cavs in seven games. If they make it that far assuming Durant returns to the Thunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how many teams in pro sports who played in the previous season's championship series aren't favored to at least return to said championship series the next year? At the very least, you end up in the top 4. Short of a Florida Marlins fire sale, you would have to botch that something fierce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people playing the games do. it was a 73-win team who had won the title the year before, this isn't just a team that got some lucky bounces. Steph, Klay and Dray are all top 20 players. Iggy is still very good. You are for whatever reason minimizing their talents because KD is better than each individually. I'm not sure why this turned into a "haters must be mad" thread either. Golden State is not a franchise to hate. They built the team with Steph and Klay through the draft, I think everyone respects that and they played a style that was fun to watch. It's the "superteam" stuff that I don't think will be good for the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD is good? Yeah, no kidding. What else would you like to add? Oh, that LeBron is good too. Cool. I don't think anyone here knew that a guy averaging a triple double in the finals was legit so thank you for pointing that out. "players win games"... hmmm. Any negativity towards "super teams" and league imbalance is unworthy of discussion, okay. Oh but wait, the Celtics and the Lakers won a bunch of titles in a different era so that's why I shouldn't bring it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidenote: I like that no one made fun of Lawful Metal for saying GSW had the most worthless title ever yet he roots for a team that only won their first title because the best player in perhaps basketball history was on a bus going from every shitstain city to city believing he was a baseball player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draft/trades for most of them. Coming into this season there would be 4 legitimate contenders. Warriors, Cavs, Spurs and OKC (or the Wizards if KD signs there instead). Leonard goes down in game 1 of the WCF and Durant signs with GSW. So that leaves two teams in the entire league that have even a sliver of a chance. Injuries happen. So that's 3 teams. So now the first round is uninteresting, the second round is uninteresting and even the conference finals are uninteresting. That's not the product I want to see 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not this year where the finals ratings would have been affected anyway. Some in the NBA think more teams will tank because there's no chance at a title for the next couple years. That wouldn't be good. A lot of things could be affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait...you do know that Golden State and Cleveland consistently have the highest local and national ratings in league? At what point do people stop caring about LEBRON JAMES, STEPH CURRY, & KEVIN DURANT? We ain't even factored in who they might add to that fray in addition to the notable roleplayers. Also, who is some? Coming from you...I don't believe that shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
