there's no an absurd level of competition if one team is 44-3 at home in their last 47 games. Retrospectively, people starting to talk that Warriors in 2016 played the lowest the league had ever been with their 73-9 run. So, when the hysteria gonna lower down some years later, the same gonna be said about Denver.
Yes, there are a lot of stars, but there's nobody really who can win a series against Denver
"Win a real ring Steph"
some teams are tanking for decades. Tanking becomes their true identity and they can't stop even if they want
right now KD is having Booker, who does Steph has? A ton of trash who doesn't know how to play without him
at one point if he won't retire he'll score 50000 and play twice as many games as Parish, but that's hard to believe
it's only enjoyable because the warriors lost in the end
it's time to blow up, Klay is only 10% of their problems. There's no way this team gonna make something meaningful in Curry's remaining career
the problem with the warriors outside of Curry that they are USED TO LIVE IN ALTERNATIVE REALITY.
That reality is called "cheat coding with the guy that is gravity himself and think that it's you who mean business"
That's a decade of "we can't show up when gravity is not on the floor". For some of the players on the team that rely on Curry heavily it's an easy cheat-code version of basketball that extremely fast becomes straight up impossible, because you used to cheat-coding i.e. lost skill completely when the settings have changed. You may think a whole lot about yourself but the IDDQD on Nightmare difficulty in Doom doesn't work even if you thought that you're a pro.
How many times it was that Embiid's teams can win when he's out, Giannis teams can win when he's out, Clippers can win when anybody of their stars is out, AD can win when LeBron's out, Boston can win if somebody's out, but the team that has a whole lot of all-stars are stuck for a decade when the "gravity" cheat settings are off
ceiling raiser.
I miss those MTV wrestling wars between celebrities, this would be a good episode
4-0 Denver. Warriors don't have resources and they heavily overachieved today
Kings 2002 but unironically it's Kings who got karmaed.
I guess Lakers is just a god's himself team
