    It’s just the warriors. Klay was nothing more than a role player. Same with Draymond. Overinflated worth and never should have been all stars. Now it’s Wiggins.

    I can see it with Draymond but I can't see it with Klay.

    Did people think he sucked? Lol.

    Also, LaMelo ball is legit. He was so much fun to watch when he came into town a bit ago.

    People argued Dame would make the all star team over him. Ja has arrived. I think we will see him being selected in many of the all star games the next 5+ years. All star starter. Good for him.

    People actually thought that? Lmao. I know I had a discussion with someone about it on here and it's like "Dame has been hurt and he was doing poor, why should he get in at all? Earn it."

    Ja been damn good for a few years already. Dame is the better overall player but Ja is real fucking good. Especially this year.

    Yep. I think Ja is right around the corner from Dame though. I'm not ready to call him better but he definitely could be in the next couple years. Ja is a psycho when it comes to staying in the gym. He seems to be improving on his shot too.

    I think Dame comes back with a vengeance next year though.

    Agreed on both counts. But that's just the timeline of it all. Was blind to happen.

    And Dame next year... Man.. I'm so excited to see an actually fully healthy Dame.

    Next year could be amazing if Joe makes the right moves.

    Wish we play like the Warriors. All 5 can shoot 3s, pass the ball and play defense

    That's not how they play at all. When healthy, they start Looney and Green, neither of whom can shoot threes.
