Looks like Nate needs to work on his game winner face. Can't be outdone by a guy who says he's just doing his job.

Pretty lucky with Nugs having Jokic, Avs having MacK,

If any group will find a way to have angst about that, it’s this one.

tears of pain with Enya - awesome way to start a Friday haha

Just wanted to see what Warriors fans were saying after the game, this definitely takes the cake.

 

[Pokecheque]

I gotta be honest, why DID Kerr bench the only guy making inside shots for the Warriors? I'm glad he did of course but it was a strange choice, even the TNT guys noted that Kerr had an "interesting" lineup out there in the fourth quarter.

I love that Kerr essentially triggered the rally when he started bitching at Jokic for trying to sell the foul while running up court.

 

[Bonzai12]

Damn this was just a regular Thursday night game for me - sounds like this was some type of tragic season ending catastrophe for the Warriors. What a bunch of drama queens.

Good Lord and I thought Lakers fans were the most spoiled, entitled brats around. Warriors are less than two seasons removed from their last championship (seventh total, fourth of the modern era), team is finally showing their age (not helping that Draymond has gone full psycho) and they can't stop slagging Kerr and Curry. I'll admit Kerr has been annoying AF this season but I still wouldn't be bitching about him, and I certainly wouldn't be pouting about the greatest shooter of all time maybe not carrying the team like he used to.

The end is always ugly. The Lakers are more entertaining to watch the implosion because they got seduced that they could be elite based on about 30 games last season and reality is pissing them off. They are under .500 and they haven't even had the typical injury issues for Street Clothes Davis or LBJ yet. Now its clear LBJ is looking elsewhere for his sunset years with his kid riding the bench with him, will be fun to see what outpost wants to sign up for that circus. Scary thought, what if OKC takes Bronny with one of its many excess picks?

The Warriors players must realize they aren't at the contender level anymore but this is the stage of your career when you make your super bag in the NBA, so these guys are going to continue to show up. Draymond doesn't even look like he wants to play anymore but he's got 25 million reasons to still show up. Klay's getting almost 200m on his deal and going to give them very little due to his injury and age. Curry is still worth every penny but that's it.

lol loved how you sneaked him into this one. Nobody’s gonna catch Dikembe for a long long time

Nope, but he'll probably get to 3rd and maybe 2nd depending on how long he plays.

 

[Bonzai12]

If Belichick parts ways with NE and goes to the Chargers this division is gonna get incredibly tough overnight. Out of all the teams out there the Chargers have gotta be the most appealing - their owner sucks but the weather and talent on the team are huge pluses

 

[dahrougem2]

Mike Tomlin is a better coach than Bill Belichick could ever dream of being IMO.

Those two are the complete opposites of one another. The very definition of players coach versus system coach. It's hard to know how much his legacy was because of Brady, but Tomlin himself only has one.

 

[Bonzai12]

I think Bill Walsh is the best coach of my lifetime. I don’t think he gets anywhere near the credit of how much the game transformed due to him.

I am very much of the belief that Brady made Belichick.

That very well could be the case. The Pats were long over due for a regression, so I'm not sold that he's the problem there. If he continues coaching for another 8 or so years, the question to If it was all really Brady or not will become a lot more clear.

We can look at Belichick’s record as a head coach where Tom Brady wasn’t his quarterback. Everything prior to his stint in New England counts as well.

Not only that, how many of his “protégés” have found success at any level in football. Charlie Weis couldn’t even f***ing stay employed at Kansas.

Still not sure his coordinators weren't his small pox infested blankets.

Patsfans had no clue how hard it is to win without a QB.

That is as fitting an analogy as I’ve ever read.
