    No Bogut, no Igoudala, no problem. It's not just Stephan Curry, either, who is not really human. It's Draymond Green, who can get a triple double in his sleep, and Klay Thompson, and Brandon Rush, and a great bench and a winning formula. Better luck next year, NBA.

    I think the Spurs will beat them, if the league allows it.

    Brandon Rush. Seriously?

    The guy has a career PER of 10.

    Maybe so, but Rush stepped up big last night along with Barbosa. The Warriors have a great bench and a ton of great shooters. Someone always comes through when they need it.

    Playoffs start with every team at 0-0...only homecourt advantages apply. The Spurs can beat the Warriors in a 7 game series...they are deeper than the Warriors and in my view...better coached. I think the Spurs win the title

    If only that if could be made even larger, right?

    I have said this before, but Golden State's new status in the league hierarchy is good news for us this season, because it means that the Clippers aren't the golden child anymore. We could upset them if they don't get the same old bullshit calls they used to get.

    Frankly, if I was a basketball fan over a Blazers fan, I would love the Warriors. They just play great, astatically pleasing team oriented basketball, and it is a joy to watch.

    Sadly, I am a Blazers fan first, so I can't really enjoy the Warriors until the Blazers are knocked out of contention.

    I'm with you, except that they're getting close to becoming insufferable, and their offense seems to rely on screens that are illegal in basketball and football.

    If we don't win, I'm cheering for anyone but the Spurs. So if we are eliminated, go warriors.

    Lesser of two (or three, or four, depending on how you want to look at it) evils. It's good seeing that a team can win and win big with home grown talent. The Spurs used to be that.....until this season, and it doesn't help that the one non-home grown star on that team is our very own benedict Aldridge. I want someone to show them they can't shit on the league for two decades straight.

    Also, I like Curry, I will admit it. For someone who is as talented and good as he is, he's managed his public persona pretty well. I mean, I know he's kind of cocky, but you don't get nearly the same number of cringe inducing quotes/acts like LeBron, Westbrook, Durant, etc. etc. He mostly shuts up and lets his game do the talking by draining threes in your face.

    Yeah you can't really call a true volume shooter who is also shooting 50/45/90 cocky; he's just fucking good.

    Yeah, but I just meant the threatrics or quotes or whatnot. Curry sometimes gives you that shimmy shake to rub salt in the wound, but he doesn't go around declaring himself to be the best player in the league and then failing hard (Harden, LOL), or get mad at former teammates for celebrating when he does it all the time (Westbrook smh), or straight up curse at the media (Durant).

    For someone as fucking good as Curry, he sure doesn't talk about it a lot, and that's why I respect him.

    Curry was born to be a Harlem Globetrotter...the guy is as smooth as it gets with a basketball. He's just so loose and effortless on the court..no tension whatsoever. I'm not sure he's a great motivator but he may be the greatest shooter ever when all is said and done

    Would be awesome if Mavs are 8th seed and they get revenge for 2007.

    There's no "may"; he already is.

    He's made 1569 threes. Bird made 649.

    Nobody has ever gotten their shot off so quick, or shot of the dribble as well as being set, or shot as accurately from deep.
