KD to Warriors ruined so many fukking things. Cavs and Warriors would have had some great back and forths these past couple of years but that fakkit had to ruin it.

KD TO GSW was legacy changing, if he doesn't go

#1 LBJ wins 2-3 chips and is probably crowned unquestioned goat
#2 KD and OKC go on a 2-3chip
#3 Steph 3peats adding 2 fmvp with his 2mvp and becomes top 10-15 goat

So many guards play similar to steph now...it has watered his game down...

He was the first guard to come off a screen and just pull up and shoot a 3 like it was nothing...now every no name guard in the nba will shoot that shot

He was the first guard to pull up 2 or 3 steps past halfcourt if you didn't press him...Dame literally bounced the Thunder out the playoffs with that shot...

Steph has never been a guy who really attacks the rim so he not going to get to the line...if you can stay with him from halfcourt to the free throw line you going to be alright...

Like I said in another thread...he is just another guard who had a great 5 year run...maybe the greatest 5 year run ever since he got 2 mvp's and 3 titles out of it...but lots of guards before him and after him will have great 5 year runs so...meh :ehh:

People have always talked about how much better Steph is than Westbrook yet Westbrook carried OKC to at the least the first round of the playoffs as the lone superstar on his team...don't seem like Steph is going to be able to do that...

Steph was always playing on easy mode...Klay always took the other best perimeter player on defense...Draymond actually ran a ton of the offense...Iggy was a swiss army knife and just about always came through in the clutch no matter if it was hitting a 3 or getting a rebound or getting a stop or making a great pass...once KD was there forget it Steph could really just stand around and wait for the ball to find him...but shyt get different when all that is gone and you got to create your own shot from nothing AND you got to create shots for other people AND you got to be the guy who gets to the line AND you going to have to play some real defense on somebody cause Andrew Wiggins and Oubre sure as shyt aren't and Draymond is old and washed now...

Dude just isn't good enough at basketball to have to do all that shyt night in and night out and be able to get a W more often than not...

No shame in that...there are only maybe 5 guys who can...and Steph is clearly not one of them...

Here's the thing, even before Draymond started and Iggy was on the roster, Steph was leading the team to wins over the 2014 Spurs.

I just don't think Steph's roster is even at the minimum level a star needs to win games. Also it doesn't help that Kerr is still running this team like it's the Strength and Numbers Warriors.

WARRIORS DIDNT FACE THE
SPURS IN 2014.


STEPH SCORED 22PTS

IN BOTH OF THOSE WINS
AGAINST THE 2013 SPURS.

KLAY HAD 34 IN A WIN.

HARRISON BARNES AND JARRET JACK
OUTSCORED STEPH IN THE OTHER WIN.

:devil:
:evil:

Warriors aren't championship contenders but they got enough talent to compete for the 8th seed... the fact that they can't even really be competitive against anybody except arguably the two worst teams in basketball is unacceptable when you literally have the only player in the history of the nba to win a unanimous mvp...

I do agree that Kerr is also getting exposed as a shyt coach...but I believe that everyone kind of knows that Kerr is more of an ego managing coach and NOT AT ALL a strategy and X and O's coach...and with KD gone, Klay hurt, Draymond being humbled and mellowed out now...there is no ego to manage.

Another major problem for them is they have been hilariously bad in the draft...you look at the warriors draft picks over the last 5 years and who did they hit on exactly ? Poole and Paschall are nba caliber players but other than that it's not good. When you winning titles you picking at the bottom of the draft so you got to hit on those picks and the Warriors very obviously did not. Pretty wild that the spurs hit so many times on those picks for over 20 years but the warriors couldn't hit on them for 5...

Off the top of my head the only guy I can think of that they drafted in the last 5 years and he made it pass his rookie contract with them is Looney and they pretty obviously drafted his replacement with Wiseman...
