Warriors credit Draymond Green with saving their season

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Except they do. The Clippers are a prime example.

Not only are you horribly wrong, but your dumbass is really comparing a team who's never won shyt, to a team who's main core has won more games than any team ever, won four titles, and are nearing the end of their window. It's patently ridiculous to compare the two situations, but that's par for the course with your gimmick.

It's even more hilarious how you ignore the fact that Steph, Dray and Klay didn't even play one game together last season and yet they still managed to win 53 games, and capped it off with another championship, all after you said they'd be no chance without Wiseman.

You keep giving me layups. I'm merely stat-padding at this point.

 

[HollywoodP]

this is a very nice way of letting one of your players know that you are benching them.

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Clippers had a good bench and aren't missing their top three scorers for the good games. They've beat one or two shytty teams.

Warriors lost their bench in the offseason and now lost almost the whole starting lineup outside of Dray, and are on a two-week road trip against playoff teams. They just won against the one bad team they played too.

The impact on their rosters hasn't been remotely comparable. You would know this if you actually followed sports and didn't just treat it like your favorite soap opera.

The Clippers were without Kawhi, Paul George and Marcus Morris for multiple games last season and they competed in damn near all of them. There is absolutely no excuse for a team of professional NBA players to look this inept. Especially if they’re as good as you say they are.

You’re making excuses for the obvious. Kerr and Draymond Green are absolutely useless and hopeless without Steph Curry.

I said the Warriors would win a title in November of last year despite the idiocy of Steve Kerr and the embarrassing play of Draymond Green, while you were hiding and hedging your bets on them. Try again.

The Clippers compete with G-League guys on any given night their stars are out, while the Warriors can’t keep games within 20 points with veteran champions.

He will be taking Looney‘s minutes at some point this season once the organization clears him (the front office is looking quite inept when it comes to this Wiseman injury imo). If the Warriors want ANY chance of winning a title [in 2021-22], Wiseman has to be a part of the group.

A zombie Draymond isn’t gonna get the job done. With that injury and Kerr’s “coaching”, it’s looking like a recipe for a second half meltdown. Don’t worry, help is on the way [in Wiseman].

When do your lies end?

It's a form of mental illness at this point. You need to seek help for that.

Steph, Draymond and Klay missed a total of 90 games combined last season, never played one game together during the regular season, and both Dray and Klay weren't in the best shape heading into the playoffs.

Yet the team still won 53 games and ended up winning a title, all the while only having one legitimate big in the rotation (who wouldn't start for half the teams in the league).

Meanwhile, the Clippers didn't make the playoffs.

Try again.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Here's you lying again -

How is it an L? His health has nothing to do with his talent. If anything this says more about the Warriors medical staff.

The Warriors aren’t winning anything without Wiseman being able to contribute.

There’s only one player that can save the Warriors season and it ain’t Draymond.

This is why the Warriors will never win another ring the most important player on the team according to @Gil Scott-Heroin is a Kingsman

All posts from last season.

Seriously, @Squirrel from Meteor Man you need to seek help.

There was only ONE time all of last year that the Clippers played multiple games in a row without George/Morris - a three-game stretch where they beat two horrible teams (Wizards and Magic) and then lost to the Heat in a game so uncompetitive that Miami's starters only played half the 3rd quarter and none of the 4th. And the Clippers were widely known as the deepest team in the league - they had eleven players average at least 8ppg and eight of them in double-digits not even counting Kawhi who was gone all year.

Warriors only have five players averaging over 8 ppg this year and three of them are out right now. Four of their first five guys off the bench last year (Porter, Payton, Lee, and Iggy) are gone or out too.

Look how bad you have to stretch to find some sort of fake-ass comp for 6 straight games on the road against playoff teams with a weak bench and your top scorers and perimeter defenders all out.

You’re making excuses for the obvious. Kerr and Draymond Green are absolutely useless and hopeless without Steph Curry.

It's almost like this never happened, right?

No Steph, no KD, but Draymond leads the Warriors to five playoff wins over the Harden/Dwight Rockets and Dame/CJ Blazers, then puts up 37-9-8 to nearly cancel out a 40-point game by Dame.

Draymond averaged 19-11-8 with 2 blocks/3 steals in that run plus elite defense, and finished 22-11-7-2-3 for the WCSF. You were saying?

Get thrown out against the worst team in the league because you’re frustrated from being manhandled all game by a man named Beef Stew (||), after saving your team’s season

I guess this is going to be like the "MPJ will be better than Jokic the moment he steps on the floor" take where you emerge from your rock once a month?



You neglected to mention until that ejection, the no-Steph, no-Wiggins Warriors had won FIVE straight games with Draymond "needs Steph or he's worthless" leading the team.

Atlanta: +9 in 45 minutes with Dray on the court, -11 in 13 minutes with Draymond on the bench
Portland: +8 in 33 minutes with Dray on the court, -2 in 15 minutes with Draymond on the bench
Utah: +6 in 30 minutes with Dray on the court, -1 in 18 minutes with Draymond on the bench
Charlotte: +5 in 35 minutes with Dray on the court, 0 in 13 minutes with Draymond on the bench
Memphis: +13 in 35 minutes with Dray on the court, +1 in 13 minutes with Draymond on the bench



Steph has missed 1/3 of the season, Wiggins has missed half the season, Klay has missed 1/4 of the season too, and the Warriors are still in playoff contention only because Draymond elevates the team to the point where it can still be competitive.

Y'all lost the argument already. No one thinks Draymond is a high ppg superstar. But he's definitely a good NBA player who is better at making his team better than most players are.
