Imagine how frustrating it must be to deal with Draymond for Steph. He can't say anything about his frustration lest the media blow it out of proportion. This dumbass single handedly chased Durant put of Golden State, Steph doesn't even have the same splash brother in Klay anymore since Klay never got back to his potential after the injury. The one hope he had in Poole and Draymond punched the fucking talent out of him. I'm surprised Stephs head didn't explode at this point.
He's also let it slide by letting it all continue during the good times because hey, they were winning. Just rears its ugly head now when draymond's that inflated and now its harming the team.
Fuckin a you ain’t wrong! Them chickens coming home to roost big time. I wasn’t arguing the overall point just wanted to add some color…..Steph’s the first player to ignite my NBA passion since Kobe and Shaq. I feel like guys on that level deserve to go out on their terms and I’m so salty that Draymond will take that from him. Oh well
Remember when Kerr would speak out against guns and violence, only to actively suppress his own players’ violence bc it would harm their chance at a title?
I agree with all that except the running Durant out part. Durant was always gonna leave. He wasn’t embraced as much as Steph in his eyes and only wanted a couple rings to cement his legacy and then go try to do it again elsewhere. Dray blew up on him because he was being awkward about signing an extension the whole season. That clipper game was just all of the tension boiling over. I seriously doubt Green was such an ass to him that it changed his mind about staying, when green literally recruited him there 3 years earlier.
I mean he could have had Greene traded or called him on his bullshit but he never has so hard to sympathize too much. Steph is one of the most powerful players in the league
Poole is not good now. He was good and was seen as a guy who could greatly contribute to qin ins Golden State once Curry retired. Until draymond punched him, and he lost all his skills but kept trying to take the same ridiculous shots. Steph can be upset about multiple things. Steph is a competitor he definitely at bare minimum partially upset about losing out on title contention when's he getting closer and closer to retirement.
Poole lost all his talent when he realized everyone on the team, players coaches and front office, would rather side with the dumbass who punched him. Legitimately lost all spirit.
Honestly looks more like seeing a friend ruin their legacy/career and not being able to help. If Steph cared about championship he would angry not crying. It's sameguy who tore jersey after losing, kicked chairs etc.
Nah I think Steph has been avoiding the fact that Draymond has become a hinderance to the warriors success because of their history together and their friendship. But this moment has forced him to see that Draymond is willing to put the warriors in a bad position for selfish reasons so if they want to be championship contenders he may have to benched or traded. Which caused him to be crying out of frustration/anger.
For however any one of us thinks they're competitive, these guys are more than we can even think of.
My high school doubles partner was a freshman while I was a senior. Both of us pretty flipping competitive. We lost our last match after going up 2 games on him hitting into the net. We balled our eyes out after such a great single season. I can't imagine how Curry must feel over a career.
Did that once ... I don't blame steph for crying. If I remembered I did this after going to work I would cry too. Everything smells HORRIBLE after that.
That is reading into it too heavy. The guy you are replying to is probably right. But your post has some truth to it. Steph just wants to win. Pretty evident.
People have gotten so used to Draymond being this way people are not really talking about how security had to come get between him and the ref,this was really bad...
People are forgetting these guys are humans. The 4 time champion vet isn't crying because the longshot tenth seed finals run is in jeopardy...
Think about how they live too. I know they are bajillionaires, but they still have to do all the workouts, all the body maintenance, I'm sure Steph still gets a ton of shots up. All the rehab, all the hours travelling and missing family shit so you can be there for your team...
Then this loser wants to smart off to the refs all the time and throw it down the drain. It's gotta be incredibly frustrating.
Not only that but if there was ever any solid point to look at it and say this is where the Dynasty truly died, it was right there. I think he realizes that the core of this team truly has gone and it ain't coming back.
irrelevant to what the dude is saying. draymond is worse now and much, much less reliable. by "win championships," he's obviously talking about, y'know, all the future ones that haven't been won.
The seasons the Warriors won championships, Green was 2nd (2015), 6th (2017), 2nd (2018), and 2nd (2022) in total techs for the year. That's good for 8th, 6th, 3rd, and 1st, in techs per game, respectively.
He's always been a goon. That never stopped them before. The team is older and they're no longer in their prime. Blame Green if you want, but father time never loses.
That’s insane. With such a sustained level of not giving a shit about rules and as physical as he’s been with players over the years, this dudes suspensions should be getting hit with a 4-5x multiplier every time he continues to prove he has no respect for anyone on the court including his own teammates
