    GSW is no longer feared. They no longer go into a game with the feeling of course they will win.

    They are still the favorites but their struggles aren't because of boredom. That team has internal issues that are causing issues and they are vulnerable. They could have easily missed lastf year.

    "They're" might also be the Warriors players. But you are right about one thing. Kerr is pointing out that someone is in fact tired of Draymond and it's not just Blazer fans.

    Still think they'll flip the switch in the playoffs. But teams don't go into the finals for 5 straight seasons like this for a reason. Even recent dynasties like CHI/LAL/MIA, etc have faltered after 4 yrs.

    Who went 16-1???? Grizzlies had 2-1 lead on Warriors when Conley got hurt. And Cavs had 2-1 lead on Warriors without Kyrie and Kevin. I count 4 losses right there.

    Obviously not the Conley/Love injury year; that would be the season Kawhi got Zaza'd in the WCF.

    That's what people said about 2011 Lakers. And then they got swept by the Mavericks.

    The Conley example is for the 2015 Playoffs. Those Warriors did not go 16-1. BonesJones said Conley couldn't have beaten 16-1 Warriors but that was when GS had KD. Conley faced 2015 Warriors and would've beaten them in 5 or 6 games.

    2015:
    Grizz up 2-1, Conley gets hurt
    Cavs without Kyrie and Kevin Love still go up 2-1 with Dellevadova as Cavs second best player.

    2017:
    Spurs up 24, had owned Warriors all year long, and Kawhi gets hurt

    2018:
    Rockets up 3-2 and Chris Paul gets hurt.

    By the way, 2016, no major injuries to opponents, they lose.

    They went 16-1 one year and you were saying they only win because of injuries.

    And that does not mean they were going to win. Clippers were up 2-1 when CP3 and Blake got hurt, but you dont speak about that in the same context.

    Paul played about 2/3 of the 4th game and Griffin played the whole game. No reason to think that we wouldn't go on to win the game anyway. I find it rather ironic to see a Blazer fan argue against the Blazers regarding injuries. :dunno:

    Wrong, wrong and wrong sir. They are bored and we breeze to the title. Too much talent. They may argue along the way, but the trophy is all but theirs.

    Im not arguing against the Blazers at all, I'm arguing against those types of arguments and using that situation as a point, since hes not being consistent.

    What makes me laugh the most is that the only we would win a title this year is BECAUSE of injuries to other teams. So, if we won, would it then not be tainted? Hmm...

    I still believe the Warriors are too talented to lose a 7 game series. However, I thought that last year too and Houston almost got them. There is a reason why making it to the Finals 5 years in a row is a rare accomplishment.

    Both SAS and HOU were handling the warriors in the playoffs before those injuries.

    So you don't think they'd have at least one championship if everyone was healthy?

    Reported in today's SF Chronicle that Kerr said on the sidelines he was "fucking sick of Green". Shit, Blazers fans could have told him Green's an asshole years ago. Although he probably knew it.
