Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

also they've been on tv a ton for the last few years and people love an "underdog" story (too short, not athletic, etc) i.e. steve nash

i guess AI was the most popular dude in his day and he was mostly a dribbly and crazy shots guy

he also had cool style

like kids these days are wearing beats headphones, v committed to high fidelity audio experiences, not like my day when it was terrible open-back headphones on offbrand discmans #hearingloss

ai had a powerful presence

warriors should be up by 20 at least right now

hawks defending a bit better this half but can't help much w shooting that bad

like I'm literally shocked they managed an offensive rebound and a putback 3 for demare

ya dubs letting the hawks stay in this game v dangerous

jeez steph that pass

left hand how he do that

steph is p good

that pass was fire

dubs have the juice, theyve been the best team all year, starting to think...

all about being healthy now

ya if the dubs don't make the finals I will be p shocked and frankly bummed

btw steph ~47% from three last couple months after starting out a lil uneven by his standards

did espn pick this game up on some kinda flex thing?

yes

ya if the dubs don't make the finals I will be p shocked and frankly bummed

healthy OKC might have something to say

they were originally scheduled to have a super wack game in this time slot but they switched it

It's cool that we get to see the greatest shooter of all time play hoops, one of the few good things about the 2010s

i have a drinking buddy who is a big warriors fan and all summer i was like "damn man you guys coulda had kevin love" and now whenever i run into him he is like "damn man we coulda had kevin love, just think how good we could be" and i am like :/

i dont think okc can get it together even if healthy too much discontinuity this year

maybe not, but they havent been healthy at all since getting kanter.

OKC is basically bad in a lot of fundamental ways...like, they had to beat this years sixers in overtime FFS

draymond is 5/5 on 3s btw damn

they still have the bad ghost as their coach (and an excuse not to fire him again this summer) xp

there are a lot of teams that cld beat the dubs tho imo, like i wldnt bet on any of them but the western conf playoffs r gonna be a bloodbath

feel like if okc misses the playoffs brooks has to be gone excuses or no

It bothers me that the jazz threw away kanter, Jefferson and Millsap and got better. What if they'd some good guards for them?

lmao three point finger roll

definitely, plus they're atrociously managed, like getting enes fucking kanter is their smartest move in what 3 years, that's pretty bad

they are starting dion waiters. repeatedly.

lmao the whole team loling at that shot

I wonder if brooks knows where okc's management has buried all the bodies or something

his glasses have seen things

wouldn't surprise me

in all seriousness I think it's bc KD and russ (and possibly others but those two for sure) really love that dude

yeah when a team wins and the players like the coach he becomes hard to fire, seems like a total company man who gets along with everyone too, he is the worst coach tho

dubs domination rn

glad mark jackson was such a dick to the organization cos we would probably be stuck in the same boat if he was a normal nice guy

their owners should go scorched earth on the front office this offseason

shrewder looks like he couldn't care less tonight

this crowd would be so much fun in the finals

I was reading an SI feature on the warriors from a while back and it boggled my mind to learn the extent of his bullshit - like turning players against each other, being all religious and saying hella homophobic shit about like jason collins, ugh x 1,000

he is a super bad human

link? xp

there was this from december http://www.insidebayarea.com/warriors/ci_27078013/warriors-co-owner-lacob-lists-reasons-firing-mark

"Part of it was that he couldn't get along with anybody else in the organization," Lacob said. "And look, he did a great job, and I'll always compliment him in many respects, but you can't have 200 people in the organization not like you."
