Same. We arent tanking on purpose, sorry. Like I said before, just because a small handful of loud people are saying something, doesnt mean "everyone is saying ___."

Ah got you... sorry about that. It's like the Garoppolo thread lol

Its basically just Mayo. No real fan who actually has watched the Dubs and appreciated what they have done over the past 5 years would ever suggest tanking. Its f**king stupid.

The Warriors may very well be in the lottery and finish out of the playoffs but it wont be because they are trying to lose. You dont tell Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson that we are going to just throw the season away. Nor do you do that to fans paying a fortune to watch games at the Chase Center.

That's fair - I know not everyone is saying it. And I'm not here to troll or ruffle feathers. But if Steph wants to cement a legacy as an all timer (which I believe he is), he is going to have to carry a team thru a rough patch. This isn't even about WANTING to be a lottery team, this is about being a leader and willing a team to a playoff birth or respectability at the least. Kobe did it after Shaq left before Pau got there, Lebron dealt with some pretty god awful rosters in Cleveland and look what he did.

This isn't a champ team we know and may not realistically be a playoff team but throwing your hands up and saying oh well we lost some guys when you are supposed to be elite as Steph is, is unacceptable if I were a dubs fan. It's really early in season but just from what I've heard and read so far sounds like there are excuses built in.

I don't think he is the player of Stephs caliber, but Westbrook averaged a triple double MVP and was competitive with dogs**t around him. That's what I'm getting at. I look forward to seeing what Steph does this year my guess is he'll crush it we'll see.

Dynasty you have always been one of the more level headed non-Warrior fans. You can post in here anytime you want as far as I am concerned.

Thanks, likewise SWH. Some good b-ball guys in here for sure, and Lakers fan can appreciate greatness. Warriors from a basketball purist have been a pleasure to watch the last half decade. I hope klay gets right soon so we can get after each other at full strength, LA vs SF rivalry would be awesome.

Also - can someone in here tell me what Quin Cook is good at? Who the f is this guy and how is he in the NBA?

Basically all he can do is shoot. He is a liability on defense and certainly isnt a playmaker.

Quinn had a great shooting season his first year on the Dubs. Statistically, he had a decent shooting season last year too.....although it seemed like last year he missed so many critical shots in the playoffs.

I really want to root for Quinn because he is a likable guy, but he simply isnt that good. He cant guard anyone, but will occasionally make a big steal because he sneaks off of his man and picks the ball from behind/the side. But he isnt much of a playmaker or facilitator, which is a problem for an NBA player that is his size.

GRiii can't finish lol
