Jalen Rose: Warriors with Four All Stars Cannot Win Without Iguodala

They’re over there complaining about iguodala or klay or whatever when we never even had an iguodala or klay to begin with

 

I bet Rose not only sees panic in Warriors, but he as well hear in his former teammate voice (Reggie Miller ) .

 

It was the media who tried to sell us on Looney being better than Iggy with stats, +- and all that. Oh the irony...

That being said, damn straight Iggy’s absence is big just like Mbah a Moute! Then we have CP3 with a serious injury so what are we talking about? Klay is hurt now, so we’re even and who cares? Warriors won the Finals against Cavs without 2 of 3 best players.

 

30 year old man whose mommy (she fine af tho) and daddy treat like a kiddie is embarrassing and sad....

 

yes, Iggy is an important player for them, but please, the media needs to stop with all the excuse making

GS was at home, they started the game up 12-0, and had a 12 point lead in the 4th...they still lost and we showed how resilient we are

I’m not trying to hear about any Iggy asterisks...like many have mentioned, we have a guy named Luc on our team who is also very important for us that has not been the same since coming back from injury...we also have 20 mil just chillin on the bench

 

@Shaq2Yao carries clutchfans on his back, real talk. 99ers are scared that he's stealing their thunder.

 

9 man rotation vs. Rockets' 7 man rotation. Everyone was tired, that excuse doesn't wash.

 

Warrior is a team that can afford for years to rest multiple starters in the regular season even in the play offs and still manage to finish on top. Harden experienced playing hurt and banged up so did chris paul. Harden was forced to play until his soul left his body and he's just a walking zombie dribbling the ball last season. Chris paul played hurt literallly dragging his foot. Curry thompson even KD have yet to experience that on extreme level. They are not yet forced in a situation where they are obviously tired, hurt and banged up and yet sitting out means they could lose the series. Iggy and thompson both questionable? Their star players are tired playing extended minutes? sorry this is the play-off. they have to play and just sucked it up.

 

Dude... Jalen Rose made over $100,000,000 as an NBA player and topped out at $16,000,000 a season. There is no damn way he is making more than that at ESPN.

 

Ok. I have to respond to this one. I don't think Jalen is making excuses for the Warriors. He knows Mbah is banged up and CP is banged up too. He is not saying the Rockets can't beat the Warriors at full strength. Jalen never said the Rockets were contenders during the Dwight days (deep down I knew he was right). He has acknowledged
The Rockets as true contenders this year. He is just saying that Iggy is key to the Warriors championship formula and I agree. Horry was never close to being an all star but he was a key cog on many championship teams. The Lakers, Rockets, Spurs don't win all of those titles without him. I am not discounting Mbah as a player, but we have Ariza who has a similar skill set (I personally think Ariza is very underrated ). Take PJ for example. He is not an all star, but would you like our chances without him? Dudes like Iggy do all the little things, know the game plan and don't give a rats ass about stats. Iggy was finals MVP (ok maybe Lebron should have gotten it but it is hard to give it to someone on a losing team). He was a really huge part of both recent Warrior titles. Dudes like Horry and Iggy do the little stuff and their staffs realize to just have them healthy in the playoffs. Horry won so many rings because his coaches knew he couldn't play tons of minutes in the regular season and be effective in the playoffs. They knew he had massive balls and was Mac money when it mattered.

 

Meanwhile MDA rolls out the 6 and a half men playoff rotation due to injuries and trust issues.

 

Guys everyone knows you can't win with 4 stars. A basketball team is 5 stars!

I mean has anyone even heard of the Hampton 4? I haven't. It's the freakin Hampton 5 for a reason.

 

Meh, ofcourse they are going to make excuses, even if we beat they'll make a bunch excuses for the warriors

But Honestly......

 

This guy is such a douche... i wanted to punch the damn tv when he did that. Took the L for it
