    You think CJ/Dame/Mo would get away with that on Curry?

    Seriously. I'm not going to call the poster an idiot but his posts are certainly idiotic. Where does it say in the forum bylaws that the forum is required to have a resident crank? This guy annoints himself as such and posts such bullshit posts all damn day. Why do people enjoy wallowing in their suffering so much? What the point of such an existence?

    This team, with everything that it had going against it after last season, being the youngest team left in the playoffs, and a payroll that barely met the league minimum hasn't given us reason to be grateful this season? Shut the fuck up...

    Yes I can. And being old should give you some wisdom, not just sour grapes.

    Honestly, it would suck if we all agreed about everything. Having cranks, realists and homers helps to have a balance.

    I said 'hardly'. On Curry or LeBron would be those exceptions. The rest of the league has to put up with it.

    Couldn't agree more. Ultimately I hang my hat on the fact that this is his first season in this position and I think there is still room for improvement. Going to be interesting to see what work he puts in during the off-season. I think his head is in the right place, and I expect him to try his hardest to improve on these aspects of his game.

    e_blazer said it best above, you're supposed to get wiser over time, right?

    When I'm "old" I sure hope to God I'm cherishing the time I have left and not piss it away being a self appointed resident crank on an internet forum so I can repeatedly piss on people's parades every chance I get. What a weird way to get your kicks, especially for a wise old man.

    Man, Green nearly got a 5 X 5

    21 points 9 rebounds 5 assists 4 steals 7 blocks

    That's a helluva team they have there.

    Let's get Durant and Horford and crush them next year.

    You must be getting up there in years as well, as your memory is clearly selective. I have offered up dozens upon dozens of positive posts this season. But of course, those don't count.

    And BTW - you may someday be old enough to recognize the futility of hiding what you actually think or feel just because it goes against the accepted wisdom.

    I still can't believe those two fouls they called on Plumlee for setting a good, legal pick on Iggy.

    OK, bud...what I've been stating IS how I actually feel (i.e. that I've been pleasantly surprised by and extremely proud of this team)...I not hiding anything. But you strike me as a guy that must always have the last word. A lawyer to the end, so make your closing argument...the floor is all yours

    My apologies. If you didn't want me to respond, you just should have said so.

    The inconsistencies on moving screens is incredibly frustrating ...

    Just saw Green's comments about Blazers being done, he's probably right but come on, this was borderline disrespectful. Blazers have been a match for them in 3 out of 4 games in the series and with a bit of luck it'd be them fighting for survival on Wednesday.

    The guy has proven time and time again he has no class.

    Doc Rivers probably loves him.

    Re-watching the game and here are my thoughts for the series. We're either going to tire GSW out and they will get dominated by the Spurs, or we've ignited a fire and they are going all the way.

    Why does it seem like we are always that team who loses to the champs when they come out of the west?
