They have this really nifty feature where you can adjust the filters in your settings on what you can see.

That'll bring up a menu option that gives you several really neat little features to play with. The first two options are listed under the 'Content' section. Here you can view your profile, where you can adjust your signature and play with all sorts of nifty customization features. You can also check any attachment you've made here, which I don't use much, but I guess it's nice to have, just in case you're ever curious. After that, you have several features listed under the 'Settings' headline. Here you can adjust your followed content, get a bit deeper into your profile settings, and even ignore certain users if you so choose.

Tracy Jordan Posted April 25, 2019 Author Share Posted April 25, 2019 Losing these next two games to the 8th seeded Clippers would be the most perfect way for the Warriors' current dynasty to come to an end, but there's no way that's going to happen. The Clippers deserve a lot of credit for winning two games on the road against the defending champs and I hope they can at least force a Game 7. I love watching the trio of Beverly/Williams/Harrell battling on every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats kinda what this Warriors team feels like at times. I’m actually starting to wonder if they would play better, or in the very least be more fun to watch, if Durant ends up leaving.

Digby Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 I love this Clippers team though. A three-year experiment in addition by subtraction. And a throwback to the 00s when we all (rightly!) thought Doc Rivers is a damn good coach.

The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process.

FiddySicks Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I wasn’t even really talking about me, but the team and their relationship with one another. I was just saying that despite all of the success and how awesome Durant has been, there seems to be a sort of resentment because of all the negative crap they have to deal with amongst each other. It’s been a constant media blitz for the past three seasons, Durant is often times cranky as hell, and (at least I get the feeling) that even Curry has had to kind of stifle his game a bit to accommodate how much iso Durant demands within that offense. There also seems to be a genuine animosity between KD and Draymond (even if they deny it), Curry is probably somehow underutilized, and Klay gives off the vibe that he’s just sick of dealing with it all and may want a different situation. I didn’t even say it wasn’t worth it or anything. Just that it’s different than these guys seem to have expected, and I’m assuming from all of the outward signs they’ve been showing, not as much fun as anticipated. I think more than anything it just goes to show that even crazy amounts of success can’t overcome some of the ego stuff. And it’s not the first time this has happened, either. Kobe and Shaq probably sacrificed a fourth title together because they wanted to get away from each other so bad. The Heat had a lot of tension at times and LeBron decided to go back home. Hell, even the Celtics Big 3 have had periods where nobody would tak to Ray Allen. I just find it interesting because it’s one of the things I think can be overlooked in all of this.

habsfan1 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 The LA Clippers have been eliminated by the Warriors. --- We don’t have any words and we know you don’t want to hear them. We understand your anger, your frustration, your sadness. Everything you’re feeling – we get it. This isn’t the ending we imagined, and certainly not the one we wanted.

PrimalCookie Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Imagine losing all of your home games in the series... yeah, who would ever do that?

DG_ThenNowForever Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Sometimes KD is the best player in the game and there's really nothing you can do about it. I don't think we talk enough about what a killer he's been in the playoffs with Golden State. The offense is best when it flows through Steph, but KD has been their most consistent guy and it isn't close. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see him staying in GS, especially since it already looks like they're starting to decline. Durant has a Player Option for the 2019-20 season. He can remain in Golden State and earn $31.5M by taking the option, or he can decline the option and hit free agency again. He must decide by June 29. If he opts out, his service time allows him to earn 35% of the cap, which is likely to be $109-110M, so if he takes a Max Contract, he'll earn just over $38.1M. 7 minutes ago, MJWalker45 said: I can't see him leaving. Him, Curry and Thompson could stay there indefinitely while others rotate through trying to get rings. Both Durant and Klay have full Bird rights and can get Max Contracts this summer. Klay's max salary is $32M with 8% raises if he remains there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
