    The Warriors were never a team that was supposed to be a dynasty with KD. That was a horrible salary cap mistake by the NBA to allow him to walk over to a already winning team. I don’t like that KD or Klay got hurt, but it’s part of the game and I’ll just say it came full circle for having a team that wasn’t supposed to be. Especially with Demarcus trying to chase too.

    This was good for the NBA, there will be a balance restored among teams I feel. And also good riddance to annoying Warrior bandwagon fans.

    Long live the last team to Three-peat, the real most dominant team eva.

    For the record, this was the outcome I wanted. I said the other day KD was weak for joining this Warriors team and going NBA 2K on the league, the only benefit was that the evil that is Houston was stopped. But yes, I’m glad this is over, I hope KD leaves, I hate what the Warriors did to the league, Cousins joining was even more pathetic. This is what happens after 5 finals though, you break down, you can’t play this long year after year. Bugs me when people try and compare this team to the Lakers 3-peat too, I’m sure we could have gone to 5 Finals in a row too if we added like KG or Iverson to Shaq and Kobe mid-way too, friggin lame.

    Warriors do not do anything to hate them. That's just you hating because you want to hate. And it's not appreciated.

    KD was not supposed to walk over to them. I know it’s not their fault, but that should NEVER had happened.

    Imagine if Iverson just walked over to the Kobe Shaq team. Do you know how much hate we’d be in for the rest of NBA history?

    Also, their fans became WAY too cocky for being bandwagon fans. Like unnecessarily. They deserve plenty of hate.

    He can start by sending Beal over to NOLA in a 3 way with LA.

    This has actually been an entertaining Finals, injuries aside. Well deserved by Toronto, a huge gamble paid off.

    Now let's get the AD trade done and then onto free agency.

    I should elaborate, f*** the Warriors, NBA 2K cheat code using lame-a**es. 3 All-Stars isn’t enough to keep going against the NBA with? Gotta have 4 and 5? Screw that, hope KD, Cousins, and any quality bench player they have that’s a FA all walk. Ruined competition in the NBA outside of like 3 teams for 3 years.

    I know right, crazy old Hubie. VanVleet was huge, he was their Fisher to Kawhi’s Kobe, but you don’t give Fish the MVP over Kobe here.

    Klay with torn ACL. They are really out of luck. We will see how all this impacts free agency.

    Yikes. I feel bad for Klay. He was completely on fire this game. I believe they would have forced game 7 if he hadn't gone down. He had 30 as it was. I still think Toronto would have won at home but it would have been interesting.

    This was a fun Finals series and I'm bummed to see it over. Good one.

    Hmm, that's unlike you. If we had Lebron, Kawhi, AD already, and Durant wanted to hop on next year, would you say no?

    Warriors don't 3 peat , Toronto a team with a respectable superstar and no douchebag on the roster wins making the Spurs look dumb as f*** in the process ?

    Unlike me? I’ve been saying this for almost 3 years, since the day he signed there. I rooted against them every single time they played except when it they faced the Rockets or C Bags. The last time I rooted for them in the Finals was 2016 before Durant came, after that I couldn’t stand what they did to the league. Then when they added Cousins as a luxury and were basically laughing at the whole NBA like ha ha look what we did aren’t we so cute, I was for sure not wanting to see them win against anyone but Houston and Boston if it came to that. Us adding AD and even Kawhi is not the same thing, that’s us trying to catch up to the league they created. And if Durant want to join that, yeah, I probably would say no, rather win with just those guys and whichever of the young guys we’re able to keep, whatever ring chasers around the league I’m a fan of. Those Shaq and Kobe and Kobe and Pau titles meant a little extra because I liked the guys around them a lot, I really didn’t enjoy the Payton/Malone year much because the opposite was true. Durant is a bandwagoner and he’s a whiny baby of a star, always blaming the media like they’re out to get him. I feel bad that he tore his achilles, but I made these 2 posts literally minutes before that happened and I stand by both of them
