No other team in my lifetime has delivered as many memorable high profile games and moments as Steph and Draymond’s Warriors. More than a decade into this and they still have nights like this in them.
@ChiefWoky@Rigby729@LegionHoops@DNVR_Nuggets Nuggets won an iffy ring but thunder didn’t? Aaron Gordon gutted through a grade 2 hamstring strain in game 7 and haliburton suffered a torn Achilles in game 7 after a calf strain
And lost . Okc been running the west ever since the nuggets won that iffy ring . When the west teams are actually healthy the nuggets haven’t been the same . When every team they faced in the playoffs was dealing with huge injuries during the playoffs they won it all .
Okc been dominating ever since , with everybody healthy
David Adelman on Nikola Jokić in MVP discussions:
"He is the best player in the world. I just don't want people to skip past our guy because he's won it three times." (@DNVR_Nuggets)
Steve Kerr on Stephen Curry returning:
“He's the greatest face of a franchise that I've ever seen... We owe it to our fans to give them the opportunity to watch Steph Curry play basketball this year. And Steph doesn’t even think twice about that. That’s what he wants. That’s what we want. That’s what our fans want. So we’re going to do that.”

Any players out there who need their flowers for having an underappreciated handle? – from Blake in Tampa, FL
@JCrossover: “I’ll go with Steph. He shoots so well, we forget the way he handles. And it’s so connected to his shot. It’s not just him catching and shooting. He’ll give you the hesitation. Or he’ll quickly look up to make you think he’s shooting, and then blow by you for a floater or something. His handles are a major reason why he’s so unstoppable.”
