if HOU beats golden state this year and GSW is at or near 100%. And they maintain a top 5ish net rating they will have an argument. Lots of people are calling this warriors squad GOAT. they have NOT been beaten at anything close to full strength in the playoffs since they hired coach Kerr. If you beat the GOAT And you have other metrics that say you should be in the discussion. Well, you should be in the discussion.

I will not claim any great series win if curry is limping around and iggy is hurt and they don’t have their rim protector. Etc.

I mean, Boom isn't really wrong about the Warriors being banged up when they didn't win the title in 2015-16.

Curry sprained his knee during game 4 of the Houston series and already missed games 2 and 3 with ankle issues. He missed several more games with the knee injury and really wasn't the same player the rest of the playoffs after that.

Klay suffered a concussion after being kneed in the head by Ariza.

Bogut went down with a knee injury during the Finals and missed the final 3 games.

Draymond was suspended for a crucial game in the Finals.

Iguodala tweaked his back during the Finals and was literally hobbling around on the court.




They really weren't full strength. I know you like LeBron and the Cavs or whatever so you'll try to brush it off, but it's just a fact.

...it was also not supposed to matter, especially when you had 3 cracks at closing them out.

They were almost 50%?

Bogut played 10 minutes per game.

Draymond got suspended because he's retarded.



Kevin Love missed game 3.

THEY HAD THREE CHANCES TO CLOSE OUT AND TWO WERE AT HOME.


Y'all are nuts.

Do we need to look at his numbers after his injury?

Holy shite. That's the same injury Love had IN THE FINALS

Odd. You were claiming a series win last season when Tony Parker was out and after Kawhi was ruled out for game 6.

I never claimed it was a great sereis win because I never viewed he spurs as being great.

To be a great series win you gotta beat a great team.

beating Golden state when they all banged up is nothing to brag about. It is a good win in that it allows you to advance. But not some monumental hurdle that was overcome.

Lol. Yet the Warriors won 3 games and had 3 games to finish it off.

Remember when Kyrie and Love were out? You and boom will try to brush it off, but it’s just a fact

So what did that make choke city, then? If they couldn't even beat scrubby little San Antonio without their two leading scorers after SA spotted them a game?

And you still want to cry about the beard not winning the MVP last season

But it's ok for you to brag about SA not beating GS in the WCF when we were all banged up.

Got it.

Parker is trash and has been trash for years. Just bc he was second leading scorer over a five game minuscule sample don’t make him ‘second best scorer’. Stop being so intellectually dishonest for once bro. He was a minus player the whole year.

Says the bubba still bringing up a series where James wasn’t himself. Beat us at our best. Then run your mouth. Like I said. A win over GSW when they are banged isn’t nothing all that imprressive. Beat them at their best. Now that’s something to talk about.

Why is this a viable excuse in your head?

You're essentially saying Harden sucked when it matter most... No particular reason. Just that he sucked.

I never BRAGGED about GSW beating your sorry arse spurs. It was expected from day one. You don’t brag about beating the spurs when you are GSW GOAT. They were merely the next step on the path to the championship. That was not a big time series win by any stretch.

James was playoff James, just like most other series he plays in.

Actually the sample size to which I was referring was the postseason to the point of his injury. Your addled brain thinking he's trash notwithstanding, he was our second leading scorer behind Kawhi in the playoffs when he went down. This is the fact which you must accept.

Harden getting his shot blocked by a Spur to end a game is nothing new. Duncan's done it. Kawhi's done it. Then Manu did it. It's basically expected at this point that ya boi's gonna get his shite swatted at the end of a game vs. SA these days tbh

Wasn't a damn thing wrong with James other than his pride beong hurt and knowing the jig was up. You know it. I know it. America knows it. Don't give me this "he wasn't himself during the series" excuse, Mr. Excuse Maker.

James Harden has averaged 27.3 points, 7.1 assists, 5.6 rebounds and has a 57.9 TS% in the playoffs while with the Rockets. Players who averaged 25/5/5 with a 57% TS% in their careers: LeBron James and Stephen Curry..




Yep, playoff James.

Keep up with sorry arse narrative without doing the work yourself. It fits your MO.

If he could provide a single lick of evidence, it might be a discussion worth having. But he can't. No one can. So it's "Harden wasn't himself" like that excuses the performance and diminishes the win for SA.
