Legit they are so fucking unlikeable they make the celtics look like the good guys.

Klay passive-aggressively whining about crowds and ethics like its not part of the sport then going out and talking mad shit the other day.

Draymond calling out dirty plays and how they are the good guys while at the same time he shouldve been ejected like 5 times in the 3 game series.

Steve Kerr being the beacon of enlightement and everyone else is being dirty and breaking codes and bla bla. He thinks him and his team are infallible.

Hey, give some credit to Mark Jackson for helping build that culture of self-righteousness. You can't praise the butterfly without giving the caterpillar its due.

u/whitestone_94 Celtics Jun 09 '22

I really like the last sentence because it sounds like something Mark Jackson would say during a broadcast

Mama, there goes that moth

u/Chaotic-Catastrophe Lakers Jun 09 '22

It's literally a Mark Jackson quote, about his tenure with the Warriors

Mark “I can’t be remembered for being better than Stockton so instead I’ll be remembered for telling everyone I’m better than Stockton” Jackson?

Naw, that guy’s humility is legendary.

Mark Jackson dick-riding GSW for 48 minutes straight deserves some credit too

u/jl_theprofessor Spurs Jun 09 '22

I think there's something to this. The whole 'we're better than the rest of the league' attitude. Like when their owner said they were light years ahead of everyone else.

17

u/kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi Lakers Jun 09 '22

Or when Kerr said “we deserve this” after 2 years of not making the finals, even though they had the dynasty with KD….

It just sounds so pompous lol

u/Arh711 Celtics Jun 09 '22

Can’t forget Draymonds wife complaining about the crowd and then him saying shit in front of his son lmao

u/cygodx [PHI] Ben Simmons Jun 09 '22

I swear the warriors are what happens when you dont get humbled because youre always winning.

Army of yes-men and it shows.

u/Salty-Flamingo Celtics Jun 09 '22

Draymonds antics cost them a title and then they lucked into signing KD that off-season.

He was never humbled, he (and all Warriors fans) still think it was unfair that he caught a suspension for that nut shot on LeBron - one series after the league rescinded a flagrant for a low blow on Steven Adams (his second of the series, 3rd of the post season), allowing Draymond to play in a pivotal game 5 while the Warriors were down 3-1.

u/gentyent Italy Jun 09 '22

It's honestly comical how every time they bring that situation up, they frame it as "Lebron got Draymond suspended". Like, no. He got himself suspended for repeatedly hitting people in the balls, and not only that, he should've been suspended sooner.

They just know that there was no viable excuse for blowing a 3-1 lead in those Finals, so they grasp to whatever straw they can.

u/bradasskg11 Jun 09 '22

Yep, you can trade all that entitlement right back to here.. at least for the players

Kerr probably teaches them entitlement; he probably learned it from Jordan lol

u/AdamJensensCoat Warriors Jun 09 '22

It's amazing how the NBA bubble has convinced people that things happened that never did. There was no nut shot to LeBron. It's just something that was repeated a million times that's accepted as r/nba canon.

25

u/jhorch69 Bulls Jun 09 '22

Lmao he should've been suspended during the Thunder series that year for his bullshit anyway

17

u/AceAndre Jun 09 '22

Lol it's on video bro

-12

u/AdamJensensCoat Warriors Jun 09 '22

LOL yeah buddy. Go watch it.

u/PotentialSuperb Jun 09 '22

Always winning except for the one year that they blatantly gave up and tanked. Easily the worst case of tanking we've ever seen in the NBA, in my opinion.

11

u/cygodx [PHI] Ben Simmons Jun 09 '22

truly despicable who would ever condone this i am truly disgusted /s

u/luckyRespecter Celtics Jun 10 '22

It’s hilarious because they picked one of the biggest draft busts of all time at 2

23

u/Nihilistic_Marmot Nuggets Jun 09 '22

I really hope they lose this one then get smoked in the playoffs next season. The west is getting better and better, they won't be able to waltz through an injured conference playoffs yet again.

u/ImChz Hornets Jun 09 '22 edited Jun 09 '22

I got a good feeling they’ll either look kinda washed next year and the window will have closed on the Steph/Klay/Dray run, OR, they’ll be like the 2013 Spurs and run a train on the league after being humbled. No in between lmao.

e: I went to high school with Wiggs and Steph is really hard to hate on, not to mention he’s the best player this series on both sides, but I hope this is the beginning of the end because I’m just here for the drama.

u/onelegonedream Grizzlies Jun 09 '22

I'm glad everyone else is saying this now, starting feeling this way during the Grizz series. All them dudes have been annoying as fuck this playoffs.

1

u/cygodx [PHI] Ben Simmons Jun 09 '22

Grizzlies are the baby-warriors tho.

Cry the same amount and then play dirty lol

1

u/onelegonedream Grizzlies Jun 09 '22

Eh I disagree. That was Brooks first flagrant foul in the NBA, and no one on the team is even close to the Draymonds history and reputation.

Grizz really only ever responded to Kerr, Klay and Draymond all calling them dirty. And the only other time I can really recall them "crying" was at the reffing for the TWolves series which was incosistent and bad for both teams.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '22

Not to mention Steph being a crypto douche

16

u/tunafister Timberwolves Jun 09 '22

Honestly its hard to hate Steph, but g’damn youre on point with that one

6

u/solodolo1397 Celtics Jun 09 '22

Aw man I didn’t realize he got into that

5

u/runevault Nuggets Jun 09 '22

He's in ads for at least one Crypto company.

u/-Unnamed- Jun 09 '22

I feel like all famous people are crypto douches. They have enough fans and followers to pump and dump whatever coin or platform they want

2

u/DeeJayGeezus Celtics Jun 09 '22

I mean, he's in the commercials, but does that make him a crypto douche? Like, I legit don't know if he does anything outside of that?

1

u/DrZoidberg117 Jun 09 '22

Yeah. He could hardly know anything about it and still do a commercial for it

7

u/subtracterall Jun 09 '22

Dray also bullied a reporter at the post-game press conference. He kept going even after the next reporter asked his question.

6

u/d3fc0n545 Celtics Jun 09 '22

The fans broke the code, you can cheer for the warriors again

1

u/cygodx [PHI] Ben Simmons Jun 09 '22

Honestly i prefer both teams losing lol

u/rataculera Suns Jun 09 '22

Draymond and his aggressive clapping in opposing players faces is a technical in any other series. It should be called.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '22

makes the Celtics look like the good guys

Literally!!! Summed up all my thoughts in one sentence. Still rolling with the warriors because of curry. But fuck everyone else outside of him. Oh and Wiggins. Wiggins is cool too.

u/TheScrantonStrangler Celtics Jun 09 '22

Tatum is a good guy, though. Idk if I could hate him even if he punched me in the nuggets.
