    Basically, the Warriors owner is saying "Players don't win championships, Owners do" :)

    I'm pretty sure it is mostly Curry. They don't play well without him.

    Saw this yesterday and just shook my head. One championship and a good stretch and they get so arrogant. He says it's not just Curry... absolute bullshit. If Curry doesn't become a transcendent star, they don't get anywhere close to the level they are now. And if he goes down with an ankle injury again, they become the 78 Blazers.

    I would say the guy who sells Caterpillar tractors has built the best NBA franchise. Warriors need to win a few more championships before they claim to be better than the Spurs.

    He made the hugely unpopular decisions to trade Monta for Bogut at a jersey retirement ceremony for Mullin, got booed for it and fired Mark Jackson just because he didn't see it working.

    In this case, the owners brought the 'ship. They made franchise level decisions that shaped the team to the juggernaught it is today.

    This was just 4 years ago, remember.

    Have some class. Win with grace. No wonder we get that troll in every GSW game... from the owner down...

    Winning heals everything. Wait till they start losing.

    Double Draymond on the catch; attack Bogut and get him into foul trouble... the tricks are starting to add up against them.

    I assume you just double Draymond with the 5, because you aren't going to leave Curry or Thompson open. Maybe with the 3, depending...

    Hey now... If Trump wins, I need a place to live, cause I sure as hell ain't living here.

    This is my first attempt at turning a thread political.

    Make threads Political again.

    Canada doesn't want you.

    But @HCP has a cousin in Mexico you can marry.

    Start Plums, Hark, Aminu, CJ, Dame.

    CJ and Dame "guard" Klay and Curry by scoring as many points as they can and keeping the +/- reasonable.

    Double off Bogut, alternate Hark and Aminu on Draymond to keep him on his toes. Trap on the catch immediately.

    Run pick and rolls on the offensive end early, and get Hark/Plums rolling to the hoop to keep their defense from doubling Dame/CJ.

    At the end of the game, hit your fucking shots.

    Utah had these jokers in their sights; they did exactly this, but they didn't have the clutch action to close out.

    More than the clutch actions, Utah just missed damn free throws.

    If someone beats them in a series using this tactic, perhaps Snyder deserves COY!

    If the Warriors successfully adjust, Kerr will have earned his award.

    Oh yeah definitely. Though San Antonio has the personnel and coach to beat them, even if they do.
