Congrats Golden State Warriors!!!

[Beat LA]

GSW played by the rules.

But Durant move does feel like they stacked the deck.

Just more motivation for Danny this off season to figure out if our team, fully healthy, can beat them.  Finding someone who can defend Durant one on one is the biggest question. Not sure if that person has been born yet.

But who was Nigel Hayes?

[TomHeinsohn]

Apparently Kevin Durant is having an x-ray today, to see if he has a backbone.

What a pathetic worm. All the GSW/Durant apologists just make me laugh. Must be nice jumping on bandwagons and living life without a spine.

Oh, we've got spine. We're just not hateful, jealous babies.

I like to congratulate others on their success.

What a sterling example of incredible sportsmanship you are. Something for us hateful, jealous types to aspire to. Enjoy the victory parade.

Bill Russell's Celtics, Larry Bird's Celtics, all those teams had a TON of respect for their opponents. That's partly what made them great.

We should do the same as fans, we compete and cheer all out during the competition, but show respect when its over. I mean, we don't want to become a disgusting, classless fanbase like Phili fans.

Also what made them great was not having to compete with the GSW every year

While I agree that the Warriors did nothing wrong, I do think they got extremely lucky in that the salary cap swelled at the same time Durant became a free agent. That was just plain bad luck for everyone else—though I also agree that if Boston had done something similar, I'd be as happy as a pig in slop.

I see no good reason, though, to go out of one's way to congratulate the Warriors, especially on a Celtics board. Green's a jerk, and my impression of Curry and Durant is that they used to be nicer but have morphed into somewhat-jerky people.

And of course Durant said no—TWICE—to carving his own path: first, when he failed to lead his fellow Thunder to a series win against GS, and instead of coming back for a potential rematch he bolted to the enemy; and second, when he turned down the chance to be the man in Boston.

So, basically, he twice turned down the opportunity to really show his mettle and be the man, and instead latched onto Curry's coattails for a couple of easy rides to the title.

[Monkhouse]

Yuck. Screw the Warriors. Can't wait to destroy them. They really are vulnerable, and their lack of a bench and one more year will definitely prove to be their downfall.

[CelticSooner]

The NBA unlike any other pro sport is based more on fortune than anything. Golden State has probably had more of it than anyone else I’d say. C’s have some great fortune themselves and are coming for that spot though. More than ready for it.

[mr. dee]

Yawn......

Wake me up when KD win on his own. He can win as many rings as he can will still get 0 respect. God forbid another freaking injury on the Celtics (I'm so p---ed about it yearly) and we will dethrone them.

Yeah, they only had to deal with guys like Dolph Schayes, Red Kerr, Bob Pettit, Oscar Robertson, Wilt Chamberlain, Billy Cunningham, Elgin Baylor, and Jerry West, for example, during Russell's run, and the Hawks, Knicks, Bullets, Sixers, Bucks, Pistons, Rockets, and Lakers during the Bird Era .

Vomit.

Yup

Yeah, in that era with so few teams, virtually all teams were stacked!

In Bird's era, he had Magic, Isaiah's Pistons, Barkley's Sixers, the Ewing lead Knicks, MJ's Bulls, Karl Malone-Stockton Jazz, the twin towers of Houston, just to name a few.

i refuse to even read this thread.

screw gsw. next year the celtics beat the snot out of them and win the championship. 

[TheTruthFot18]

Yuck. Screw the Warriors. Can't wait to destroy them. They really are vulnerable, and their lack of a bench and one more year will definitely prove to be their downfall.

The inability to pay their starting 1-4 $150+ million/year will be their downfall in 1-2 years. Someone has to go and it will fall apart from there.

[hodgy03038]

Screw GSW is right. I can't stand their cockiness. I can't stand how much more Draymond gets away with than ANY other player. Can you imagine Morris running his mouth at refs the way that Draymond does? And Curry clearly was trying more for MVP as opposed to winning the game 4. KD joining the enemy to win championships. I just don't like them. I have never liked Swaggy P - it is just an unlikeable team. I can't wait until they fall next year.

Not to mention Zaza and his repeated attempts at injuring people, along with his notable success with taking out Kawhi.

Morris gets tech'd for breathing too heavily, lol. Screw Draymond and screw the Warriors

[Birdman]

If u are the champs, u can be cocky and talking...

[ederson]

I don't understand which part of the term FREE agent is not clear ....
