◾️the Western Conference Finals last year between GSW v Houston Rockets wouldn’t have went 5 games had Iggy remained healthy, Chris Paul or not. I believe Iggy was out after game 2 ? He’s a big difference maker on that team but nobody would notice because they’re to busy worshipping Curry and KD.

Fuck the Lakers – hopefully they miss the playoffs. Would love the KIngs as a 7th seed facing Denver. Don’t want them to draw the Warriors in 1st round.

Max honestly breaks it down how it is. It’s great to see how many people actually don’t give Lebron his credit. I get it, the golden state warriors do have successful resumes on their table. However, you have to consider real life and if the teams were fully healthy, we would have easily seen Golden State not even make the NBA finals as consecutively as they have (down 3-2 Houston healthy chris paul would have been the difference).

People also forget that when they played the Memphis grizzlies we were up 2 zero to the warriors in the 2015 playoffs and Mike Conley got injured and then Golden State proceeded to win the next four

Lmao yall mad at the warriors for adding talent to their roster, while other teams continually stack their benches throughout the season. Dont hate the warriors because they did it first.
