Hard to believe that the Warriors are going for a threepeat and have the 2nd best record in the West given all these terrible problems, Curry not working hard enough, and KD lowering the value of Draymond and Klay

I cant wait to get back to the years when winning over 20 games was a promising season lol

Just read that McCaw was unhappy when Nick Young was signed last year and the backup SG spot was up for grabs. He must be the dumbest player on the planet with the way he's handled his pro career.

We've stacked the deck in our favor so much that we can sleep walk through the reg season. I'm not calling Steph out, just noticed that he's saving himself more this year. You are out of your mind if you think Klay and Dray hold the same value they did before KD.

Guaranteed chips are fun, but it's also fun watching your home grown talent work together and become more than the sum of their parts. Would have been tougher, but they still could have won more chips without KD. They were a shot away from back to back, and they really didn't play well at all that series.

Dude is garbage barely averaging 4 ppg too afraid to shoot. His feelings got hurt cause we tried to find a scorer off the bench. According to the report he also had an issue with resigning Iggy and Livingston back questioning his actual role to the team. We are talking about Iggy and Livingston possibly one of the best bench players in our team.

If this is Steph and Klay complaining about Durant I woulda understand. Even Iggy a former all star didn't whine and complain after Warriors putting him in the bench for Barnes. He shoulda take notes from Steph on what is like to be humble and work hard on your game. Dude got insecure and scared off the competition . I hope he enjoys being buried in the Raptors rotation should humble him.

Id love to know how Steph is "saving himself". His 28.9 PPG is the 2nd highest of his career. The 34.8 minutes per game is the most he has played in 5 seasons. The 5.2 rebounds per game is the 2nd highest average of his career as well. So, how again is he saving himself when he is out there?

No one has ever said that the Warriors couldnt have won another title without KD assuming they had kept Barnes or gotten another great player to take his place. But it is pure stupidity for anyone to ever suggest that the Warriors are better off without Durant or that the teams that past 2 years were not better than the Warriors 1st title team.

I think its also crazy to suggest that Klay and Draymond have suffered because of KD's presence on the team. I mean, go look at the stats in 2016 and 2017 with KD on the team. Klay's FG% was higher than ever, 3 pt % higher than ever, points, assists, rebounds, steals all virtually the same with or without Durant. My guess is Klay would laugh in your face if you suggested that to him. Same with Draymond as his assists, steals, rebounds, and blocks were just as good as ever with KD on his team. His points declined 3 points per game from his peak year but that was certainly to be expected by adding a super scorer like Durant.

You really want to know why the Warriors are "struggling" this year. It isnt KD's impact on the others or Steph taking it easy. It is simply the lack of interior presence on defense and the massive amounts of turnovers. The result .... the Dubs have gone from the 2nd highest rated defense in the NBA 2 years ago to the 16th now. And, they are 27th in the league in giving up points off turnovers.

Patrick McCaw is a complete idiot. LOL at being butt hurt because the Warriors needed 3 point shooting and knew that he couldnt shoot worth a damn from deep. Thank goodness he is gone. The Warriors are better off with McKinnie using that roster spot and keeping the 15th spot open for a potential big man getting bought out of his contract.

I just want to add one more thing just look at Looney. He was buried at the bench for the last two years. We drafted Jordan Bell, sign Zaza, Javale and David West back didn't complain single time work his @ss off and finally a starter and a key player in our team.

With Livingston and Iguodala playing sporadic minutes until the playoffs, McCaw could have been essentially the 6th man this year.
He bombed with the Cavs, and maybe that was by cynical design to just get him to be a UFA, but I cant see him being anywhere but the 12th man at best in a deep Toronto roster.

What a fool.

KLAY with 3 straight 3s to start the game!

Klay lol

Hahahahaa jerebko with the half court shot

Jonas! Nice way to finish off a great quarter.

That shot from Jerebko lol
