@SLAB's anti-Warriors posts always amuse me tremendously, because I'm not tethered by any of the regional rivalry nonsense that would cause me to hate a team from the Bay Area. And also, I like basically every player on the Warriors not named Stephen Curry. Not only that, but watching the Warriors succeed in this series makes me happy for two reasons:
- Watching Luka Doncic fail makes me smile. #HateHard
- Watching the Warriors succeed with a player who was written off as a bust when he played next to Big Sawfty makes me smile even harder.
That dunk brought my wife and I off the sofa to our feet. It was SICK!
Its been really cool to see Wiggins play the way he’s playing. But I’m not all that surprised.
Not that KD isn’t phenomenal, but Wiggins is benefitting from the extra attention Steph gets and how far away he draws defenders to him in the same way KD benefitted.
People can claim KD was the best player on the Warriors while he was there all they want. But Steph is the ultimate weapon that makes it all work. With Draymond being the ultimate glue guy.
Klay hasn’t been Klay yet, but all those guys are still there, relatively healthy, and they’re still winning.

It’s not all on the Mavs supporting cast. #77 is as much to blame if not more.
His 40+ points scored don’t totally outweigh the liability on defense. The Mavs are literally having to double whomever #77 gets isolated on to get the ball out of their hands. It’s really putting the Mavs defense in a bad position.
As Mark Jones mentioned, it’s very Bearded Hag’ish. But the mainstream only cares about offense and lets players off the hook for their huge liabilities on the other end.
This board especially likes to hammer KINGS players they believe to be defensive liabilities —- well #77 puts those players to shame much of the time. The Warriors are putting it on full display.
