So I am really proud of the jazz. I am never a moral victory guy, I never make excuses about a team losing to another team. But wholly hell the Warriors are the MOST STACKED SPORTS TEAM ever! We can still beat em but I think it goes to 6 games now

But the thing that keeps weighing on my mind is Durant. I used to really like this guy, he was one of my favorite players. But wow, he is such a *****. There is no other way to say it. The guy pulled the weakest move in the history of sports. And no Lebron's decisions isn't anything like the weak move Durant pulled. The only thing I could compare it to is if magic would have went to play with bird. Durant is good but he is a complete b$&@h, and softer than rabbit fur.

Jazz in 6 I love this team!

Totally agree about Durant. Hate him more than anyone else on their team. Someone needs to knock his *** to the ground a few times. All the Warriors are soft. Problem is, we seem to be a bit soft too.
 
Yeah, I think Locke said something on his latest postcast like this (paraphrasing obviously):

The Jordan Bulls were one of the greatest teams in NBA history, they won a lot of games. We saw what happened to the Bulls when Jordan left - they still won 50 games and made the playoffs under Scottie Pippen.

But, take away the Warriors best player (Curry or Durant - pick one) and they still probably win 67 games this year, and the championship. They are probably the most stacked team of all time. They have passers, shooters, good free throw shooters at every position.
 
Agreed. Seeing him to to GSW makes me lose a lot of respect for him. And I'm sure he'd be deeply concerned about that if he knew! (lolcry)
 
They are not that stacked. They were better the last two years -- they have lost a lot of rim protection which is why we need to attack the rim, but at the same time get back on defense.

They also have other defensive weaknesses that we need to exploit. For example, isolate on Curry and get him into foul trouble. I think both Neto and X (no more Mack, please) can run p n r with Rudy and have the quickness to exploit Curry who is not that good a man-to-man defender. The Warriors are always shielding Curry with Thompson or Iggy, or one of their other wings, so we need to work on getting the ball to whoever he's guarding.

Also we have to stop their transition. No they didn't make their 3's but they score so fast on transition -- every time stopping our momentum.

A professional that has worked his *** off wants to coalesce with other bests to win it all and you hate him for it? Petty.
 
We need to run a lot of PG - center pick and roll. Those are their weakest positions defensively and center is our biggest strength. Just like the start of the fourth where Rudy has two passes out to the corners. If we suck in other defenders we have open shots. But we have to hit those open shots and we can't have unforced turnovers.

I disagree. There is a ton of fight in Green and Barnes. David West would kick the crap out of almost anyone in the NBA.

I didn't say hate, I talked about respect. It's like he made it too easy on himself. I guess I'd prefer a different storyline, more dramatic. OKC retains Durrant, makes a key trade here or there, topples the GSW juggernaut, gets over the hump they couldn't get over last year. I'd much prefer to see OKC get a title instead of another GSW title, Kanter notwithstanding. Hell, I'd almost rather see the current Clippers get one than GSW.
 
I dont really blame the stars for joining up. If you dont join up, Lebron is just going to whoop your ***. The NBA has a salary issue called the max contract. Fix that and you might have more even teams.

I've been thinking a lot about this exact point lately.. I go back and forth, but I think eliminating or drastically changing the rules of max contracts (maybe to be 50% of the cap?) is the way to go. It seems like they are in place to support an NBA "middle class" and prevent one bad contract from crippling a franchise for years.

Look man it's a weak move. He could have went anywhere else(except with lebron) and I would have been fine with it. It's weak and soft. I understand wanting to join a different team. You just can't go to the team the you choked to. Durant blew it last year against them.

So I don't like the guy. It's bad for the NBA. It shows how weak minded he is as a person. Like I said he could have gone to 26 other NBA teams and I wouldn't have minded. He couldn't beat them so like a bitch he joined them


#cantbeatemjoinem isn't petty it's the truth.
 
I don't care for Durant's decision either but you really have to blame the league. It seems like the NBA wants only a few powerhouse teams to create buzz in order catch the attention of fans that couldn't name one player from the 2007 Warriors team. The fans that actually follow the NBA or have been devoted to a team will stick around even if there is a super team like GSW. I do wonder if parity would sell in the NBA

Your probably right. I think it would have been much better entertainment had Durant stuck with OKC. The battle with GSW would have been a fun rivalry. Or even if he went to the spurs. As it sits now GSW's toughest challenge until the finals will be us. I am really not interested in watching GSW vs Houston or Spurs.

Yup, my watching the playoffs ends when ever the Jazz stop playing.

It would be now, but the NBA greatly gained from him going to GSW. They got a controversy, plenty of social media interest in teh KD/Russ beef, and the season long triple double story-line. As a hardcore NBA fan I hate it, but it's easy to see this is good for the NBA from a casual fan perspective.

Nah this is because Curry makes less monew than Alec Burks, Klay makes 17 and Green 16. The issue is the contracts they get after 4 years not after 8. They need to blow the top off of rookie contract extensions. Perhaps they add an extra year to rookie deals as a compromise.
 
it was a weak move. a move that wasn't around 30 years ago. Its part of the generation he belongs too. the players are all mostly friends. 30 years ago people were making phone calls but now you can just send out a quick text.
