I don't get the Steph, Durant, Thompson, and Green hate.

I can understand people getting annoyed when it's the same team in the finals for what will likely be 5 straight seasons, and I can understand annoyance with the Warriors signing one of the best players in the NBA after going to two straight NBA finals.

But the players themselves seen like nice guys. Stephen Curry is the Cristiano Ronaldo of basketball - it's been his hard work and not so much his natural skill that has propelled him to the levels of success he's reached.

Kevin Durant is incredible to watch. One of the best players of all time and pretty much unstoppable when he's on. Also seems like a humble, family-oriented guy.

Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are also nice guys, Thompson being more mellow and Draymond being more passionate.

Above all, everyone on that team is constantly emphasizing the importance of teamwork and going out of their way to praise their teammates' skills before praising their own.

Boo fucking hoo, they win a lot. But unless they're caught blatantly cheating like the Patriots, get over it pussies.

I haven't supported them for many many years...more of an observer than a fan lately.
I stopped watching NBA because of the obvious officiating fuckery.

Huge blazer fan in the 80's and 90's...just an observer now

Warriors are great rebounders and loaded with great shooters, and they play very good team defense...Far superior team and they are experienced and battle tested

Portland is just a pack of young hungry lions who haven't entered their prime

The Warriors really are the greatest team in NBA history
95 Bulls would disagree. Under the rules of the 90's the Bulls would mop the floor with these sissy's. Under the pussified rules of today it would be much more competitive, but because I'm old I still take the Bulls. They were good defenders and were all long. They could close out the shooters pretty well and make it tough. KD would still get his points for sure, but Steph would likely disappear for a couple of games during the series.

Warriors in 4. Average margin of victory would be 20 ppg

I didn’t.
With the support of you, Drake, and the rest of Raptor nation, there is a real chance the team can make its first ever finals appearance by closing out the series at home on Saturday night. Then you'd play Golden State in the finals.

Warriors in 4

If they make the finals. It’s almost a perfect situation as far as pressure goes. Everyone will be expecting them to get swept. They might come out loose and dangerous.

If they make the finals it will be such a boost to the franchise. Everyone outside of San Francisco will be cheering for them to upset the Warriors. They can gain a lot of fans.
