I dunno they're about to win their 4th title in 5 years and have clearly evolved and are not same lovable cats from 2015 with or without Durant.

It's like cheering for the big bad bully in school to pummel all the nerds at this point

It's good basketball. But I don't watch them anymore because of Durant. I used to watch them a lot before Durant joined them. That was fun basketball.

Why can't I cheer for the Warriors? I love Curry and Klay.

Is there a rule you can't cheer for other teams? I need to see this rule.

You can cheer for the warriors just not the Celtics. Or the wizards. Or Cleveland. Or any team with Goran Dragic. Other than that you’re good.

My my, so defensive. He was just asking an innocent question. Lol

I'm watching this Jazz/Wolves game and i'm cheering for the Jazz! oops.

It's called being a sports fan.

I was a big fan in 2015. I loved how that team was built so naturally from the ground up.

Curry-Klay-Barnes-Green-Bogut was so fun, with Barbosa, Iggy, Lee, Ezeli... that team was so fun to watch.

You're not allowed to cheer for them bec you're a Raptors fan!!!

[ReubenJRD]

Why would you cheer for the warriors lol

Must be infuriating for other GMs to have to bust their ass trying to attract good players to their team, while franchises like the Lakers/Knicks (and even 76ers) can get away with screwing up over and over again, and yet have a constant rumour mill going on about stars "fitting" or "wanting to" to go to these places (especially when half the time there's absolutely no basis for the rumours).

A nod to the teams throughout history that got it done without this hype (e.g. Spurs)

[KeonClark]

God I really hope Klay stays in Oakland now. Don't want to see him in purple and gold. Also hope KD leaves the Warriors so I can watch and cheer for them again.

It's good television. Lakers talk has always generated a ton of interactions and views.

Plus, The Jump is stationed in Los Angeles. Goddamn, it's so annoying, though, lol.

Yep. It's not nearly as sexy a headline to say "bradley beal would look good in a Milwaukee uniform"

Its probably a sexier headline to the 500,000 Milwaukee citizens

[ReubenJRD]

I know Beal is not in Klay's league but he's still a damn good player. But this is exactly what I was saying, ESPN, FOX all these networks seems to want the best players to all play for the Lakers.

Klay Thompson just scored 52 in 26 mins and these people turned this segment to a Klay/Lakers segment. Wtf? It seems like ESPN wants to see all the best players play for the Lakers.

I may not be the first to declare it but I'm among the first.

GSW will NOT have a cakewalk to the finals this year and will NOT sweep the finals. Some combination of an unexpected team could step up (Utah, Raptors?) and injuries or complacency or incompatibility (Cousins) could set in. I just don't think this dynasty is an all consuming dynasty, just a feeling.

If GSW play at 75% of their best, they will win the West. You have to hope that 2 of their top players have a bad series to win.
