    so Harden has a "winner mentality"? What happened this year then when he came into camp fat and played like trash especially on D?

    He was hurt.

    But you know thinking you are the best is the requirement to becoming the best. If you are content with just being an all-star or whatever then you haven't even made the first step to being a elite tier player. I have no idea why people think that was a bad comment by Harden. I've never seen a great player go "Oh yeah, that guy is better than me!" or "I'm the 3rd best player in the NBA!"

    That's because he has Charlie Sheens winning mentality.

    Klay is an amazing shooter, already three games with 7 threes in the play-offs.

    If GSW can get by not just Houston but Portland without Curry, and Curry comes back in full health within two weeks, they are pretty much a shoe-in to be hoisting the Larry O'Brien trophy.

    Um, the Rockets and Blazers are chumps. Them winning the first 2 rounds means nothing, they have yet to face their two biggest challengers this off season.

    Beating two lower-tier playoff teams while playing without their franchise guy is nothing to sneeze at. Spurs probably can, but I think they'd have a harder time with it. And I can't see a LeBron-less Cavs being able to do it.

    one game in and Stotts has already made better coaching adjustments than JB had made all series.

    This Portland team is no chump, they would have beaten the Rockets in 6.

    ^Portland is not a contender but definitely no cake walk.

    The league really does love the Warriors. Lillard whistled for a phantom foul on Green.

    Draymond pushed into Lillard with his forearm. **** the Warriors. I'm so sick and tired of this bull****. Just because the media loves them, every other team as to play 5 on 8. The arrogance is unprecedented. **** them. If any of you in here are Warriors fans, do yourself a favor and block me now. Tired of this blatant match fixing BS over and over again. It has ruined the game. I don't think I've ever disliked a team and fanbase more and this goes back way before we played them in the conference finals last year.
