    Yep, 5-5 in last 10 and lost 4 out of 5 at home. Looks like Warrior have come back to earth.

    I wonder if their fans our acting like our fans?

    "Fire everyone!"

    "Trade everyone!"

    "We should tank the rest of the season!"

    A day after Portland handed the Suns their asses.

    Unfortunately Rockets beat Mavs by one point. Couldn't Dallas have hit one more shot?

    The Blazers won by 7, hardly an ass handing. That said, the starters sat most of the second half.

    Yeah that was a thrashing, that the final score doesnt really show, but the 1’s and the 2’s pretty much smacked them around.

    I like to think GS is vulnerable this year, but I havent yet made that jump. It seems like when they have wanted to make a point theyve won.
    I think GS having won so much the last few years is in kind of a state of hibernation and wont wake up until the playoffs start.
    No one else in the entire league is even close to being in a that situation.
    Obviously their regular season hasnt been as dominant, not trying to away from that. I just think I’ll wait for a couple games in the playoffs to see what they look like.

    This, totally this, I agree. Hopefully this is the last year of them though, I want to see good parity in the league again.

    yeah, I think there's a really good chance the Warriors are just coasting right now. They believe they can turn things up on demand and the last few years sure seem to support that.

    there does seem to be a little friction around Durant & Green, and Durant's commitment to the team might be wavering enough to make the Warriors a little vulnerable. But a 7 game series tends to pivot on talent, experience, and cohesion and the Warriors have all that

    I'd love to see them knocked out of the playoffs though....I just don't think Portland is capable. Houston might be, and if Milwaukee makes it to the finals, they will not be an easy out

    Amazing isn't it? A coach & GM help bring home multiple titles and suddenly the fans start giving them the benefit of the doubt. Disgusting!

    They're bored. Will win championship. Nothing to see here.

    Any embarrassing losses the Warriors have is just fine with me...they have a fragile locker room regardless of the talent on that roster. Durant, Green and Bell are not happy Warriors these days

    It's also come to mind that the Cavs, Knicks and Suns have pretty much sewn up tanking for the lottery already and can go out and win a few games now to keep some interest going. If they get to play to win, winning against the Warriors or Blazers would be more fun than beating bottom feeders

    Yes but I honestly think they’ve been lucky each year with an injury to their competition. Conley, Kyrie, KLove, Kawhi, CP3. I’m not sure GS would’ve won any of those series were it not for injuries.

    Guyz, I'm not sure the team that went 16-1 in playoffs would've won if Mike Conley was healthy. Or glorified spot up shooter Kevin Love.

    Kingspeed cmonnn man why do you have to go there:biglaugh:
