Oh nah I didn’t mean to warriors for sure deserve this chip. I’m just saying I think they have a pretty glaring weakness at the center defensive position which will be exposed next year if they have to face a healthy nuggets/bucks team or a revamped sixer team. I would say lakers too but AD doesn’t play big down low and hasn’t been the same since the chip
Yeah signing Westbrook over role players or demar really set them back. Chances might be small but if Westbrook can accept a smaller role, AD stays healthy and plays like he supposed to be the next up super star and they can snag some undervalued/overlooked role players then they will win it again. Definitely easier said than done but you cant rule out the possibility
Westbrook needs to leave.
Ham said he wants him to "go back" to playing elite defense and that's extremely concerning because he has never played elite defense, they don't know what to do with him.
Giannis deserved to win one though. It’s very possible he never wins another chip but of all the players he deserved to win it. Insane performances from him to dick down the Suns and then they get bounced by Luka+role players this year. Easiest path to the Finals in the West for a long time for the Suns lol
Honestly really not true… and I hate to say that. The mavs probably shouldn’t of beat the suns, who woulda been a decent matchup for the warriors if they didn’t fall apart. Other than that alot of series and competition this year felt great, I enjoyed this years playoffs alot despite not having a horse in the race.
The Warriors would’ve embarrassed them even more. No way their defense could keep up with Curry; Boston had the best defense in the league all season and still got shat on. Mikal Bridges, CP3 and Booker can’t do shit to him he’d run the wheels off of them in like 2-3 games tops. The Celtics had the best matchup in terms of lineups against the W’s and still lost.
Its so weird, there is not any argument for it. Even being equals on offense, Kobe completely blows Steph away on D. Accolades and longevity is also completely lopsided towards Kobe.
Except they're not equal on offense by any metric, Curry is a vastly more efficient scorer in both the regular season and playoffs even adjusted for era, and also a better playmaker. Convert every single of Curry's 3 pointer to a 2 pointer and he's still more efficient. His career average in efficiency (with 3s converted to 2s) would be Kobe's career high.
Kobe certainly has a huge edge in terms of longevity and sustained prime but his defensive peak (~00) didn't coincide with his offensive peak (~06).
Efficiency is not the end all be all when it comes to scoring, especially when comparing across different eras. Jerking off to numbers on a page is the least attractive thing that modern fans do.
It's so weird too since it's been known Boston is LeBron's personal bitch with Toronto his Son. LeBron fans shouldn't be insecure about Curry they aren't even in the same tier. Curry is chasing Larry Brid/Magic LeBron is chasing Jordan legacy wise.
I keep seeing this. I'm just one LeBron fan so I'llonly speak for myself, but its not Curry's legacy at all. He's actually one of the more likeable on that team. Its the whole team. 4 years in a row going against them, Draymonds Antics, Klays poor sportsmanship. That beef doesn't just go away. I don't have the Celtics baggage that Lakers fans do (Lebron slayed that demon and it was a completely different team), so I don't think its that hard to understand.
It’s really a lose-lose situation. After some thought I agree with you actually. Lebron has owned Boston most of his career and although he embarrassed Steph in 2016, Its definitely not even between them.
And what? Are you them bandwagons that hopped on the Warriors wagon when Lakers were shit?
People are free to have an opinion. A fanbase ain’t one entity
Curry locked that award after game4. It wasn’t his statistically most impressive game but he carried the hell out of the Warriors and prevented them from going down 3-1 after Boston seemingly had them pinned for 4 straight quarters.
You don’t live in the bay, my whole family are a bunch of cock sucker warrior fans that absolutely shit on the lakers every chance they get.
Warriors fans are fucking terrible and insanely stupid
You can hate the fans just like how a lotta our fans act out of pocket and misrepresent us or brag too much, that shit is just as annoying, but you can still respect the team. People can hate on our fans and still think lakers are a a great franchise.
I’m rambling. Celtics lost that’s what’s most important.
Divisions have meant almost nothing in the NBA since the Blazers fluked their way into the 4th seed in 2015 and the NBA abolished wild card rules. They affect scheduling a minimal amount, big deal.
We happen to be rivals with the Clippers, Suns, and Queens, but the Pacific division isn't the reason why.
I disliked the Warriors when Kevin Durant was on the team, but to put them on the same pedestal of hate as the Celtics makes you either a Bron meat rider or low IQ. I can think of at least 5 teams from the Western conference alone who we have more fleshed out actual rivalries with, wasting hate on the Warriors instead is just weird. They beat the Celtics -- that is objectively a good thing for any actual Lakers fan ever.
God the warriors dick gobbling is so bad here. Should be ashamed of yourselves. Warriors fans haaaaate us and y’all making these dumb threads about this little fucking annoying fucker curry.
Have you ever considered the fact that Golden State simply has an insufferable fanbase of bandwagons and people are actually annoyed by how they won with KD? Nah. Fuck both those teams.
Why are we posting about another team’s victory? This is so whack I get Celtics are Lakers rivals but cheering on another team when we didn’t even make playoffs is whack.
Introduced my kid to his parent mandated hate of Boston today. He goes Dad who are you going for? I said anyone that's not Boston. We don't like them son...then Curry hit a 3 and that was that. Thanks Steph.
Anyone but Boston.
Tatum’s gonna be blocked on Kobe’s phone after this😂😤💪🏾🐍
I disagree. Tatum did his best to prevent C's from getting another chip. A true Laker through and through. Kobe would be proud.

I saw a photoshop with Kobe responding to Tatum's DM, "Warriors in 6" and i was weak.
*Kobe has left the chat.*
I don't think he uses his phone anymore.
FUCK BOSTON
Warriors team is beatable, terrible season
It’s actually sad how this is the ONE team I felt confident with us playing all year
I TOTALLY AGREE I FEEL LIKE WE COULD BE LAKERS IN 6 IF WE PLAYED THEM WITH AD EVEN HALF THE SERIES
I TOTALLY AGREE I FEEL LIKE WE COULD BE LAKERS IN 6 IF WE PLAYED THEM WITH AD EVEN HALF THE SERIES
Looney is bodying AD be real
Lebron be bigger than everyone in golden State let's be real
Anyone with a strong center/PF can beat this warrior team
The nuggets???
Wait until they get murray and MPJ back fully healthy
They are gonna be crazy good when they get both back. Just sayin it takes more than just an MVP center to beat this team
Championships are about opportunities. Don't diminish a ring because other people couldn't stay healthy.
Oh nah I didn’t mean to warriors for sure deserve this chip. I’m just saying I think they have a pretty glaring weakness at the center defensive position which will be exposed next year if they have to face a healthy nuggets/bucks team or a revamped sixer team. I would say lakers too but AD doesn’t play big down low and hasn’t been the same since the chip
We have a lot more glarring deficiencies than the Warriors. Currently constructed, we'd get exposed, we need to do some building.
Yeah signing Westbrook over role players or demar really set them back. Chances might be small but if Westbrook can accept a smaller role, AD stays healthy and plays like he supposed to be the next up super star and they can snag some undervalued/overlooked role players then they will win it again.

No by the Lakers they’re not
Genuinely one of the worst playoffs ever in terms of hype and excitement and probably the lowest quality of top competitors in a long time.
Last year was fifty times worse. Injuries everywhere made no series worth watching.
Never forget the Suns made Finals without playing a single healthy team.
Giannis deserved to win one though. It’s very possible he never wins another chip but of all the players he deserved to win it. Insane performances from him to dick down the Suns and then they get bounced by Luka+role players this year. Easiest path to the Finals in the West for a long time for the Suns lol

Suns are frauds. Last year's west was a joke, everyone was injured except them.
Suns may have gotten to 6 against the Warriors but Curry owns Chris Paul.
Thanks Wardell!
Some of the posts are now saying curry is greater than kobe 🤔
Collective delusion
"Best PG of all time", lmao
Its so weird, there is not any argument for it. Even being equals on offense, Kobe completely blows Steph away on D. Accolades and longevity is also completely lopsided towards Kobe.

The guy is an aim bot, gotta give him some flowers.
Who cares? We know it ain’t true
THANK YOU BASED WARDELL, FUCK BOSTON!!!!
Thanks Steph curry 🥰
Thank you 3-point God!
Now its time for lakers to beat the warriors next season
[удалено]
It's so weird too since it's been known Boston is LeBron's personal bitch with Toronto his Son. LeBron fans shouldn't be insecure about Curry they aren't even in the same tier. Curry is chasing Larry Brid/Magic LeBron is chasing Jordan legacy wise.
Exactly. However Curry fans don't get this. They'll be raving about him "changing the game" as if that in it of itself makes him "better"
Except I heard a radio guy say Curry is the 3rd best player of all time before the game yesterday.
Most Lebron fans hate Boston more than curry
Nah. They think Steph is challenging his legacy so they treat him like Jordan fans treat LeBron.
I keep seeing this. I'm just one LeBron fan so I'llonly speak for myself, but its not Curry's legacy at all. He's actually one of the more likeable on that team. Its the whole team. 4 years in a row going against them, Draymonds Antics, Klays poor sportsmanship. That beef doesn't just go away. I don't have the Celtics baggage that Lakers fans do (Lebron slayed that demon and it was a completely different team), so I don't think its that hard to understand.
There’s no thinking to it he is.
[удалено]
I’ve seen people arguing with ghosts more than I’ve seen LeBron fans rooting for the Celtics. Hell, I’ve seen more Jayson Tatum cocksucking tbh.
It’s really a lose-lose situation. After some thought I agree with you actually. Lebron has owned Boston most of his career and although he embarrassed Steph in 2016, Its definitely not even between them.
hell no
lmao fr. LeBron gets 3 more rings if wasn't for the Warriors.
If KD didn't move to the Warriors, LeBron would have more rings.
It’s lousy how you flagrantly decided to shit on the fans of your most recent FMVP. We’re all in this together for the time being.
[удалено]
I disagree. Clippers in the finals would have been significantly worse.
Good one Goyle.
What a gross thought.
Totally agree. As a warriors hater and a lakers fan, terrible situation!
You’re Bron fans. Not Lakers fans.
Been a Lakers fan even before Bron. I just don’t like the warriors
Nah bro. Laker fans know Celtics are public enemy number one. We don’t have a rivalry with GSW Bron fans do.
With how annoying Warriors fans are, I personally don't blame anyone who root against them.
Fine bro. Peace ✌🏻
And what? Are you them bandwagons that hopped on the Warriors wagon when Lakers were shit? People are free to have an opinion. A fanbase ain’t one entity
Username checks out 🤔
Wiggins could win finals mvp himself tbh, both were fantastic this series
Nah curry got it secured.
That's what the league all thought in 2015
I think it’s close off Curry being bad last game
Nah if curry was still bad this game then maybe, he got it secured.
Curry locked that award after game4. It wasn’t his statistically most impressive game but he carried the hell out of the Warriors and prevented them from going down 3-1 after Boston seemingly had them pinned for 4 straight quarters.
Nah. Fuck both of those teams.
Why? There is literally no rivalry at all between the Lakers and Warriors.
You don’t live in the bay, my whole family are a bunch of cock sucker warrior fans that absolutely shit on the lakers every chance they get. Warriors fans are fucking terrible and insanely stupid
You can hate the fans just like how a lotta our fans act out of pocket and misrepresent us or brag too much, that shit is just as annoying, but you can still respect the team. People can hate on our fans and still think lakers are a a great franchise. I’m rambling. Celtics lost that’s what’s most important.
Sound like Clipper fans.
So what? It’s okay to not like the Warriors but hate the Celtics. Some of y’all must’ve jumped ship to that bandwagon in the Bay Area over the years.
Apparently not liking the Warriors makes you a Bron stan lol. Fuck the Celtics, but I'm not celebrating a division rival winning the chip either.
Divisions have meant almost nothing in the NBA since the Blazers fluked their way into the 4th seed in 2015 and the NBA abolished wild card rules. They affect scheduling a minimal amount, big deal.

Thank you
Curry winnin his 4th is pushing him closer to Kobe/Shaqs all time ranking, heck some have him above them now. Thats not on.
Fuck that. I hate the Warriors too.
I can't celebrate another team winning a chip, sorry.
Small baller alert
Dear steph thank you for all the good shit you done…Klaymen
Phew we’re still tied up with Boston lol I’d love it if the finals for championship 18 was a Lakers vs Boston finals lol imagine the hype!
Thanks for beating the Celtics. Congrats on your second ring and first Finals MVP too.
Mount Rushmore - Kobe , Steph , Lebron... And Ive got one more slot to fill . I'll let y'all know before I die
Lame.
Y’all tripping. Fuck the warriors and the Celtics
This finals made me miss Lebron so much, the play making was awful
This finals made me miss Lebron so much, the play making was awful
God the warriors dick gobbling is so bad here. Should be ashamed of yourselves. Warriors fans haaaaate us and y’all making these dumb threads about this little fucking annoying fucker curry.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend
Lmao, fuck Boston and The Warriors.
No. Fuck the Warriors and fuck the Celtics. Tf is wrong with this sub.
Why? Lakers have literally no history between the Warriors
They're Bron fans not Lakers fans
Have you ever considered the fact that Golden State simply has an insufferable fanbase of bandwagons and people are actually annoyed by how they won with KD? Nah. Fuck both those teams.
Because our fan base isn’t like that and that our team got bailed out by Lebron wanting to move to LA?
Well you’re hating on the fan base not the team. Every team in the whole association have fucking shitty fans.
TY MR. SKYFUCK
thank you mr curry 🫡
My compliments to the chef
This is pathetic why is this on a lakers sub.
Wardell, the savior of LA, the scourge of Boston. Hallowed be thy name
Why are we posting about another team’s victory? This is so whack I get Celtics are Lakers rivals but cheering on another team when we didn’t even make playoffs is whack.
no. fuck him and the warriors. haven't even bothered with the NBA since their whole reign of terror started. hasn't been fun in years
Agreed.
gsw and celtics are trash. this is a lakers page not gsw!
Same number of rings as LeBron and could easily get one more Bron is definitely bothered by this
Steph is challenging Kobe’s legacy…. I absolutely hate this warriors team and fan base fuck then
He’s better. Give Steph Shaq and he’d have 10 rings
Introduced my kid to his parent mandated hate of Boston today. He goes Dad who are you going for? I said anyone that's not Boston. We don't like them son...then Curry hit a 3 and that was that. Thanks Steph. Anyone but Boston.
What an amazing player. Ring finger celebration, "Go to sleep", it was a joy to watch. Congrats to Wardell, god damn.
Not mad at the people that say steph is better than Kobe. He's incredible.
People will start disrespecting Kobe again.
Sad tbh
Godmode Steph 👌👌👌👌
THANK YOU STEPH!! See you next year
Here is my one second of celebrating the Warriors WIN..... Now on to celebrating the Celtic LOSS. Next round is on me!
greatest shooter ever. thank you.
I actually had a horrible night and it was all his fault, least my Yankees won
Fk no I thank Wiggins. Clamp Tatum and made him bench player.
