    Warriors aren't 12-4 yet. They had to intentionally injure Kawhi to avoid being swept by Spurs so I'm not exactly impressed by their "title" last season.

    This is a unique statement that hasn't been uttered since 2004. That is why I love you.

    Ok. Then you are just the most uninformed, misguided and ignorant basketball fan I have ever come across. OR you are in dire need of attention. I suppose it could be both. Kudos to you.

    Word. I watch lots of basketball on TV and in person and I listen to a ton of podcasts and have one of my own. So I don't think I'm uninformed or ignorant. Misguided? By whom? But I don't want to talk about me. Let's talk basketball.

    They didn't lose a single playoffs game in their conference. Weren't even close to losing against Blazers and Jazz, and only struggled in game 1 against Spurs.

    They were never going to get swept and you know it.

    Spurs were up 23 and on their way to a clean sweep of the Spurs (without Tony Parker even) and so Warriors had to injure the Spurs' best player to win. They did the same thing to Kyrie in 2015 in Finals. Can't win fair and square so they take cheap shots at star players.

    There needs to be a warning message when you sign up to this site informing people of kingspeed's style of trolling.

    I’d love to. But your posts keep interrupting any decent basketball discussion. Yes yes, the ignore button. I don’t do that.

    Honest question: Do you say the same exact things on your podcast? I can't imagine you do.

    Celtics are pretty good. 15 straight wins despite injuries. Aaron Baynes should get MVP consideration.

    Please know, I have been reading KS posts since Oregonlive days over a decade ago. I understand the attention seeking behavior. It still is annoying.

    They were going to call it a sweep after game 1?

    Spurs were clearly the better team. Warriors were no trouble for them.

    Sorry for trying to be nice. Won't happen again.
    I'll just laugh at you for giving KS what he wants from now on mkay?
