I'm just calling it what is. If we reverse the roles, either of those 2 guys there would be memes already on twitter blasting them. He had 41 in 40 shots the previous game as well, which would be an L vs any legit contender.He been clutch all playoff.. by law of average he bound to have stinker.. we can chill
They didn't even win the championship that year. They were not even the best team that season let alone in the history the NBA. Number of wins doesn't mean dick if you don't get the ring.
Are you gonna explain how my view is such a hot take.
1,314 seasons had by NBA teams since they expanded to an 82 game season in 1967-68. Only 77 of those have had 60 wins or more, and only 59 have had more than the Milwaukee Bucks' 60 this season. This puts their season in the 94th percentile all time.
Elite company,no?
I hate these best lists.They didn't even win the championship that year. They were not even the best team that season let alone in the history the NBA. Number of wins doesn't mean dick if you don't get the ring.
Dont get me wrong the 73 game season is special. I don't think we will see that eclipsed for quite a while, but I am just saying that it doesn't make them the best team of all time.I hate these best lists.
Most people here didn't see any basketball before the 90s. There have been a lot of great teams through the years. Even an old like me doesn't have a memory of basketball before 1983.
Regarding the Warriors, I agree you can't be considered the best team of the season when you lose in the Finals (making the Cavs the best team that year), but their ability to win 73 games was special and that is the record until proven otherwise.
Scientifcally the best team of all time was the 94-95 Lakers and the best player of all time was Cedric Ceballos, who most of you don't know this but averaged 20 points a game despite only playing 2 quarters. If he had played the usual 4 they would have gone undefeated.Dont get me wrong the 73 game season is special.

Trying to call a team who didn't even get the ring the best team ever is just stupid in my opinion.
I mean you cant argue with scienceScientifcally the best team of all time was the 94-95 Lakers and the best player of all time was Cedric Ceballos, who most of you don't know this but averaged 20 points a game despite only playing 2 quarters. If he had played the usual 4 they would have gone undefeated.
You can definitely argue with it (see Kyrie and many other millions of people) but you can't win that argument.
Yeah we will just have to agree to disagree on that lolScientifcally the best team of all time was the 94-95 Lakers and the best player of all time was Cedric Ceballos, who most of you don't know this but averaged 20 points a game despite only playing 2 quarters. If he had played the usual 4 they would have gone undefeated.
Imagine if this happened with Lebron or Steph and their team lost. Everyone would still be discussing how much of a fraud they are until the next game. Difference between a normal superstar and an ATG.
Kawhi seems to be in a strange place where he doesn't have the expectations but gets the accolades an ATG gets.
You miss those before after playoff meme that Steph had in those rough stretch where he shooting like 30% for like 7 game in a row?I think Steph is immune to this too, because (if KD is out there) KD would get the blame. If KD isn't there, then he still wouldn't get blamed much.
Lebron, KD, Harden, Westbrook would get destroyed.

Are people really acting like Steph wasn't getting clowned this postseason?
That 4th Quarter was Vegan Raptor. They fed on nothing but air.Isn't a raptor supposed to feed on deer tho? Or is this Raptor going vegan on us?
He wasn't even called a top 5 player and people saying there would be no dynasty without KD. what rock have you been living under?He got clowned, sure, but nowhere near the level as those other guys. Maybe that's just my perception, but the Curry defense force seems a lot more adamant than the Harden/Lebron/KD defense force. Heck, people are quick to explain it away with a potential injury.
Skip's haterade for Kawhi is hilarious. Bitter afLol Skip is really something when it comes to his Kawhi hate. Referring to him as No. 2. Yikes
Edit: He said he turned Kawhi in to a sympathetic figure. Lol
I mean they were best team of all time until the last game of the season... lol"facts" lol You are using cherry picked statistics to back up your already established opinion.
The Warriors hold the record for most wins in a season. Does that make them the best team of all time? Of course it doesn't. They didn't even win the championship that year. Stats only mean so much and you are trying to make them mean everything.
Selective reading. In their defense though, they are just regurgitating what the 'influencers' in the media are feeding them. Last week I just had enough with this non-evidence based nonsense and will continue to argue that he is in the conversation for best player in the world and has been the last 4-5 years. He doesn't fit the traditional (read that as "OLD") optics for that title so doesn't get the respect he deserves. One of the below articles mentions that Westfraud and Harden MVP seasons were almost a backlash reaction to his supremacy the two before. Damn it we want our mvps and 'bests' to be someone sitting their with an intense, angry scowl on they face dribbling a divot into the floor before launching or charging toward the basket. Rack those counting stats.He wasn't even called a top 5 player and people saying there would be no dynasty without KD. what rock have you been living under?
LMAOYup I had to turn it away from Undisputed. If I watched that any longer I would of ended up rooting for Kawhi.
There's an argument that 71-72 bucks were the greatest team not to chip.I mean they were best team of all time until the last game of the season... lol
Shame, the Bucks will be the second best team ever that didn't win a ring.
Damn JC, can't you let this Bucks team have something?! Fine then, the 2nd best Bucks team to have not won a ring.There's an argument that 71-72 bucks were the greatest team not to chip.
100% agree with this postAre we still discussing Curry vs Durant. Durant > individual talent but has less impact than Curry on GS. GS is better with Curry minus Durant than they would be with Durant minus Curry.
veeps continues to see the truth the media and talking heads won't tell youIf Draymond never cried in the parking lot asking KD to play with Steph because they need him KD wouldn't have come.
So most impactful player?
Draymond green.

He averaged 34 points 18 rebounds and 5 assists in that series they lost to the lakers. Gotta be mad about thatthat was the second of three years back to back to back where kareem went 30+ ppg with 16 rebounds and they weren't tracking blocks then but you gotta figure it's at least 3 per game
the man is the goat, is the general gist
I know this is twenty years late, but Middleton goes into god mode every time he plays against the Celtics. He can be inconsistent normally, but never against the Celtics. Shit is bananas.TheFatOne told me he isn't playing well coz it's not the Celtics. That's why. I hope it stays like that.
I'm not convinced either east team wins more than a game against the Warriors. Especially the way Klay, Steph, and especially Draymond look right now.Hot take: it will be a great finals, and any of the three teams can win.
But the Warriors probably will, on sheer experience if nothing else.
I have a hunch that whatever teams wins the ECF will be 'clicking' by the time they get to the finals. And either team would be quite a wake up call after easily disposing of the Blazers. Also, Milwaukee would have home court.I'm not convinced either east team wins more than a game against the Warriors. Especially the way Klay, Steph, and especially Draymond look right now.
is this a meme I don't know about or something?Still waiting to see signs from Siakam that show he's anything more than a liability.
No but I'm a casual NBA fan that only pays attention during the playoffs so you can probably ignore it. Dude just seems bad whenever I've watched him (granted, not much).
