What the Buck!

actually not surprised it was a team with good big men.
GSW didn't lose to the Bucks, they lost to the schedule. 6 eastern conference road games in 10 days is ridiculous. In saying that, they aren't the same without Barnes - he makes a big difference.

the weak eastern conference?

so one injury to one player and they go down. would love to see if they lost someone like Klay Thompson and see how they went.
Eastern conference isn't weak this season so far
And that's like saying lets see how the Cavs go without Love, or Spurs without Duncan/whoever their second option is. Of course they're not as good. You plan your team around your best players and if they're not playing, of course the team will be worse.

I know it was in reference to last years playoffs where actual stars were missing.

Lebron " GSW the healthiest team in history"
Wait who was talking about the playoffs?
And further I don't think it's fair to criticise the Warriors for being healthy. Teams get crushed for overplaying their stars and so when the Warriors play their guys relatively low minutes they should be praised as it's probably the best way to control injuries

He went over on his ankle and didn't play in Golden State's win over the Celtics so that point is fairly void.

what do you mean. They had to go to double overtime to beat the celtics. Who are just scraping into the 7th seed in the east. They also only lost him for one game.

warriors shouldn't be criticized for staying healthy but it should limit their praise.

they dont limit their stars that much and part of the reason they can is because they are healthy. most of the stars they faced that were injured where not from overworking eg. Colney (face) Love (dirty celtic player)

Your point was they wouldn't win without Thompson, but they did. Their heavy schedule has already been mentioned, plus Celtic tend to bring their A-Game against the big teams - Beating the Heat and Bulls, pushed Spurs all the way.

Boston in Boston is a fair win without a key player.

And you can't say that them being healthy isn't somewhat attributable to good management. Sure luck plays a part but it makes sense that looking after players health is beneficial long term.

not sure you can call my point invalid about seeing how they go with losing a star after a double overtime win against the 7th seed in the east.

it is good management but its mainly luck. You get one freak accident like a coleny broken face or a love injured shoulder and they have to play alot more minutes and risk of injury going up.

im just pumping the breaks on them.

Haha invalid or not, it was disproven a few days ago :P

barely winning over an average team is evidence they struggle.

You're underrating Boston haha. But I appreciate what you're trying to do to that GSW hype!

Although, looking at the slow mo at the end.... I am not sure he got the shot off before the clock expired.

Watching the Spurs absolutely annihilate the Jazz. Playing at a crazy high level. If anyone can beat the Warriors, its them.

people will probably be sick of this but in my opinion.

Can't wait for that! I hope we get to see a playoff series between the two.. I think we will.

This Spurs defense is on track to be the best ever. Very interested to see how that matches up against the Warriors' offense.

Klay has apparently hurt his ankle pretty bad

not a great sign for the healthiest team in nba history, if he is out then its time for Steph to show how great he is.

they should easily keep winning without Klay because Curry is even better then the great Lebron. :P

This is Steph's quote on whether he could take over MJ's GOAT...

"Yeah.  why else would I be playing?  You want to be the best you can be.  And if the best you can be is better than him, then why not?  That's good motivation."

I get it, but makes him sound a bit douchy.

this is why im on the warriors and steph. not his answer but the fact the question was even raised.
taken completely out of context, read the whole interview, its been chopped up to sound that way

Kings with the W over the Rockets.  Love it as I cant stand Harden or Dwight
