    i feel like its a matter of principle as a fan. you win and lose with your team. especially in the finals. fuck traffic.

    I don't care if they're down 30. If they somehow came back and won the series and you left the game? Fuck you, you aren't an actual fan.

    i'm writing a book, leave me alone.

    the pressure that was on OKC when they were up 3-1 is now what GS has to deal with. on top of their fans thinking they're the greatest team of all time.

    there's no place like my room Supporter

    If Kyrie and Lebron play that well again, I'll be ready for game 7. Only kicker is Lebron may not get as many easy drives to the basket with Draymond back in.

    What principle? It's so silly. If I don't want to watch my team lose I won't do it. They're down 16 points with 2 minutes left. they're not coming back from that. Whether you spent 5 bucks or 5,000, staying for an extra two minutes of the defeat doesn't make you more of a fan.

    And the players don't care about you as an individual fan. You're not letting them down by leaving

    Draymond was suspended AND he had to sit through an A's game...

    Should I even watch Game 6? I feel like Cavs would be riding a high and win that easily.

    But giving credit to Bron and Kyrie, what a performance. Wow. Just. Wow.

  14. To be fair about 95% of fans at Warriors games are bandwagon

    i think it's kind of like the "finish what you start principle". in a way, it kind of looks like a cheap out when things aren't going your way / your teams way.

    I don't see any Warriors winning MVP yet, even if they win the series.

    .530 From field for Cavs. Damnnn

    @tgscraig Prestigious

    To me the only reason you stay is cause it's a title clinching game so on the very off chance they come back from 15 down you're there when they lift the trophy. But if this was game 2, you best believe I'm leaving early
     
  19. Daily reminder: Bulls lost a total of 13 games in 95-96. Tonight was the Warriors 16th loss

    Lebron giving it up to his teammate in his postgame/on court interview. Saying Kyrie put up one of the best all time performances. God Lebron is so infuriatingly selfish!

    What a game by Bron and Kyrie, wow. Pretty clear how important Draymond is to Golden States system. Still think Warriors win series and probably in 6. I'm just not sure you can count on these type of performances again. Another 40+ minute game for LBJ and Kyrie
     
  22. If the Warriors win I guarantee it'll be Draymond

    Careful, I brought this up once when they surpassed bulls in losses in the OKC series and got a hot response.

    Ugh. I cringe at the thought.

    @tgscraig Prestigious

    And also, like I know this game is at like 5 PM in Golden State so it's early and all that, but if a playoff game is at 8 like it will be next game in Cleveland, by the time it's over it's like 10 o'clock. And then if you get stuck in massive traffic getting out you could potentially not get home till 1 AM if you're traveling in from out of town, and it's a work night you know. I'm just saying I completely understand the rationale. You shouldn't have to explain that reasoning to anyone. You have to make the right decision for you. At the end of the day it's a sporting event.

    Sorry I know I went in on that in here, but it just a mindset that I've never quite understood so I figured I'd take the time to rail against it a bit
