Grizz without star player Ja Morant. Curry always has the cupcake path to titles

I wouldn't worry too much.

They ain't getting past Phoenix and If the Mavs had homecourt I think they would have a good chance of beating the Warriors in a series.

No way in hell they can compete with the big dog teams left in the East.

Too strong for what, you guys are losers. Are you going to make an Eastern conference final or will we be seeing this again in a few days?

This ain't 2015 no more.

Look at the teams in the East. How sustainable would the Warriors "efficient" defense be in a 7 game series against the Bucks or Celtics. That's a lot for Dray and Klay to handle at their age.

The Bucks defensive gameplan is to allow other teams to shoot 3s, the issue with them is 'slowing' Giannis down. Celtics... well I can see them locking the Warriors down. Don't think I've seen a team that matches that well defensively as they do.

I don't know about that.
You have to remember: The Warriors are guaranteed 4 x 48 minutes against the Suns. That is plenty of time to intentionally injure Booker/CP3/Ayton, and alter the course of the series.

Literally the only ring that I would say deserves an asterisk is the 2002 Lakers and that’s only because it was confirmed as being rigged. Every other title I consider legitimate until I get information that says otherwise. You can only play who’s in front of you, injuries happen. With that said context needs to be applied to all rings, I don’t consider the Bucks ring from last year particularly impressive as they clearly would have lost if they hadn’t faced two injured teams in a row in rounds 2 and 3. But, again, injuries happen and they took advantage of it and they beat a really ****ing good Suns team. They are the champs.

07 Spurs? Ref literally went to prison cheating on their behalf. Jazz and baby Lebron were easy street, Spurs vs Suns was the real finals.

I don’t asterisk rings, but it’s legit ridiculous how often the Warriors benefit from opposing teams injuries. Kyrie/Love, Kawhi, CP3, and now this year they’ve already played the Nuggets without Murray & Porter Jr., and the Grizz with Morant missing at minimum a critical Game 4.

Tbf, all those players you’ve listed with the exception of maybe Kevin Love are very injury probe.

History Doesn’t acknowledge any asterisk talk about anybody no matter how bad you might want it to.

Oh please. If you have an issue with the '02 Lakers, the '06 Heat title is not a real one either. Also, Lakers got the whistle in one game.. go look at all the things the Kings did to choke that series away.

Bron stans starting early with the excuses. :facepalm

Assuming GS wins this series i think they are done after that. They aren't playing well enough to win a ring.

They were up 2-1 and won their last game against Ja by 30 point blow out. They were gonna spank that twink either way. If you look at the foul Poole did to "injure" him, it was the slightest joke of contact. He literally patted him on the leg.

We weren't going to lose to a dude who sports braided hair and threaded eye brows like a chick and is 165 lbs. That's why they threw Dray out right off the bat they didn't want him getting gooned. Meanwhile that Dillon guy knocked Gary Payton out and broke his arm viciously when he was playing awesome.

All it takes his klay and curry to finally get hot. Its by no means going to be easy but I'd say they have as decent a shot as anybody.

When did a ref literally admit 06 was rigged?

Isn't that sweet? Fans of a certain inferior player already trying to pre-emptively discredit a Curry win. Their apprehension is delicious.

Either way...its hilarious watching GSW get on their high horse about cheap shots...when they have that mouth breathing donkey and had Zaza....

Strangely quiet in the past about dirty plays

You're not winning any games in Phoenix at their home arena.

Next season Kawhi will be back and Curry a year older.

Game would be much more complete if he goes back to leading his team in ORB% to 2.5% in the 1st round over Poole and Thompsons 1.6 and 1.4. compared to the current 1.9% with Poole at 3.7 and Thompson at 0.7. particularly in the absent of Payton II and Morant.

It should be also worth mentioning that the warriors faced a limping nuggets team without services from both mpj and murray in the previous round earlier. Hell, it would be even more ridiculous if another injury occurs from whichever team they may face in the next round that could render any of their important opposing player unplayable as well.

Well even if Steph Curry wins the championship and becomes FMVP averaging 40ppg, Axey is just around the shadows ready with a dozen asterisks in hand.
