[Mr Cola]

Curry seems determined to make this as close a spossible

 

[notoriousKTR]

Curry has a bad case of Chipotle.

 

[LQX]

ESPN needs to just show the damn Warriors game. Split screen where the game not slotted is in a bigger window.

 

[AcridMeat]

Thank you Draymond, thank you.

 

[Gully State]

Draymond Motha Fuckin Green

 

[GalacticToast]

Don't choke!

 

[friskykillface]

Welp

[AcridMeat]

Not a foul imo, refs really blew this game.

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Warriors need to continue making history so we need to win.

[friskykillface]

Fear the Deer

Bucks might have a better chance since the Warriors will be dead

 

[Corran Horn]

Celtics at least got them tired.

 

[Sanjuro]

Aw shucks.

Pls

 

[ampere]

gg

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

You know what's funny? I saw people discrediting the Warriors saying "come talk to me when they beat the Heat's win streak ." Oh man this is glorious.

Whoops my bad, they're 24-0.

 

[AcridMeat]

^ They still haven't yet.

Disappointed in that game, honestly wish they lost. Probably will tomorrow since they're gassed.

 

[Fjordson]

What an ugly game, especially from Steph. But the dream lives on!

 

[George Claw M.D.]

Curry is exhausted. Should just rest him tomorrow, but of course that won't happen. Every team is trying to end the streak, but the Dubs continuing the streak is probably the best thing for the rest of the league. As long as they remain undefeated, they'll risk injuries and fatigue trying to keep it going. Once they lose, they'll be free to start resting guys more judiciously.

I'm honestly really glad they care about this streak. You can win a championship, and most people will forget about it in 10-20 years. But when you make history, people will remember that forever.

You have a point there. There's a champion every year. There's usually only 1 team holding any single record.

Holy shit! Double OT and Draymond and Curry +14 and +15, respectively. Dubs need their starters back.

Hahhahahahahahahahahah

...

HAHAHAHAHHAHA

Champs are the entire reason they play.

The only thing a streak benefits are people making money off the league, and sports media masturbating over it. The only reason the players care is because they're competitive and want to be the best.

 

[Chezzymann]

Hahhahahahahahahahahah

...

HAHAHAHAHHAHA

Champs are the entire reason they play.

No shit, but a team wins one every year. Its not as special in the long term as setting historical records, and they have a real shot at breaking the 33 game winning streak. That streak is 40 years old and people still bring it up every year or two when a team goes on a streak.

 

[George Claw M.D.]

I see Chezzy's point, but yeah, the greatness of the accomplishment is also contingent on them also winning the chip. People wouldn't keep referring to the 72-10 Bulls as the GOAT team if they didn't win it all that year.

 

[Gully State]

We already got the streak...Just rest players man. I don't want to risk anymore injuries.

 

[rokkerkory]

Damn warriors are so good even without 2 starters!

Next game gonna be tough cuz it's tomorrow and dbl OT didnt help

 

[Chezzymann]

Exactly. I'm not saying that you shouldn't give a shit about the championship, im just saying that breaking records like this isn't something that shouldn't be overlooked. For example, i forgot which team but in the NFL a while ago a team was 15-0 and had an opportunity to have a perfect season but they benched all their starters to rest them for the playoffs and they lost. I wasn't a fan of that.

 

[ampere]

Streak records are cool, but almost everyone is going to value championships over that.

If you could only choose streak or repeat, what would you pick?

Ask Pats fans if we would take 16-0 or ditch that for a title from 2007

 

[eBay Huckster]

For example, i forgot which team but in the NFL a while ago a team was 15-0 and had an opportunity to have a perfect season but they benched all their starters to rest them for the playoffs and they lost.

that was actually 14-0, by the 2009 Colts

who you may remember better as that team that lost to New Orleans in the Super Bowl

I elaborated my point above. It doesn't matter how many games you win if you aren't winning the championship. The Lakers and Heat both won the chip those respective years. Again, that's what the players care about.

Say they win 34 games in a row, win 73 games this season, sweep everybody to the finals and then lose. You think anyone on that team is going to care they have a 34 game win streak? No. They'll remember it fondly as an old ass man but they'll still feel the burn of losing that year.

Streaks like this are great for the league as a whole, but are never a main focus.

 

[Tom Penny]

GS is next level. Celtics had their chances but elite talent and calls win

I'm not saying that they aren't the main focus. I'm saying that breaking huge records is more special in the long run, but not that championships shouldn't be the main priority. Basically im not a fan of intentionally passing on huge historical records by taking a game off and slowing things down to prevent injuries or getting burnt out or something.

 

[AcridMeat]

I think you value a streak way more than anyone else in that case. I get your point, but no one is going to knowingly put their team at risk just to break a streak.

It's not like this team won't already be remembered for the record they broke by almost 10 games now.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Poppovich absolutely raping Byron Scott in terms of coaching. Jesus.

 

[Chezzymann]

I think this is getting over analyzed, I wasn't saying at any point that championships aren't important or anything and I'm not sure why it was interpreted like that. Basically i originally just said im glad that they care about the streak and people like Steph openly talk about it because in the long run they are really special and will be talked about for decades when even most championships wont (at least outside of their home town). Lots of people don't really care about those things. And all the other stuff was basically me specifically stating exactly why i feel that way which is kind of hard to do lol.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Whoa....Russell is coming into his own.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Will be interesting if they can break the Lakers streak of 33 wins in a row.

 

[AcridMeat]

I understand Chezzy, but in doing so you downplayed winning championships like they are somehow less important or desirable than a win streak record. Which is just ludicrous.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Is Bryon Scott still a terrible coach? Because the team seems to be playing better with the line up he has now.

 

[Chezzymann]

I guess talking about how streaks are more "special" can be interpreted as more important and the main focus, when i kind of meant a difference between the two. Oh well this is going on way too long lol
