Suns up 50-19 on the Warriors in the 2nd. 

 

The Warriors bottoming out is delicious. And I called this too, so I'm feeling especially great up and until they still pants LeBron in the playoffs that they'll somehow back into.

They'll probably end up with Giannis and we'll all be sad again.

Very true.

As long as he doesn’t go to philly. I can’t stand embid. Dude even knows what he does is wrong and said he was going to change at the beginning of the year and within 2 games he was talking trash and taunting again, and now he gangs up on KAT and gets Simmons to choke him.

If KAT doesn't try to rim Embiid's arm out of it's socket on that play, this altercation never happens

Curry just broke his hand tonight in a game the Warriors were getting boatraced by the SUNS(who might be legit) of all teams

[FiddySicks 11,040]

Welp, life comes at you fast, I guess. 

 

 

[SFGiants58 13,593]

Ah well, it was going to happen. I’m just glad it’s dramatic.

Warriors post dynasty didn’t crumble nearly as good as the Bulls did. Front office ineptitude was much more physical in those days. 

[_DietDrPepper_ 4,166]

The warriors were just the most powerful team of all time, and the next season they’re best player in franchise history just left with a hand injury, his secondhand man is out for most of the season with an acl tear, they lost a top 3 player in the offseason, this isn’t just a drop off, as of now the warriors went from the best team to bottom five in the league. Deanglo and a washed up draymond is all they have

Not an auspicious way to restart life in San Fran.

Joe, it occurred tonight.

Sucks for Steph; no one deserves to be injured during play. I hope he enjoys a deserved season off and he and Klay try again next year.

 

All of that amazing luck they had for four years has rubber banded in dramatic fashion.

 

On the plus side, maybe some of those Oakland fans displaced from Oracle the past few years can finally afford to see their team in person again.

[SFGiants58 13,593]

Like I said, I'm OK with it. The team had its turn, and now that their run is over, that's fine by me. They made the most out of their window.

[IceCap 21,947]

So the Raptors aren't repeating as champions. I knew that wasn't a realistic prospect as soon as Kawhi left for the Clippers. And I'm fine with that. Seeing the Raptors win one championship is more than I ever thought I'd see.

 

That being said, can I at least claim we slew the dragon?

Jerry Krause thrived in the hand-snacking era

The Woj Pod with Draymond and Bob Myers had them both piss on the Warriors fans as they claim they couldn't give tickets away on BART during their first year with the team. They went on about the lack of fan support for minutes but it wasn't like they were at 88% capacity then either.

They defeated the dragon and made sure it never terrorized again.

[the admiral 28,185]

There were some really close calls along the way, but I'm glad we made it through both the Warriors era and the LeBron era with Jordan and the Bulls both still the best of all time.
