I am, and it wasnt any better when Raptors scraped them in Oakland with Curry and Draymond back. https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=401071096 Why are we talking about the Warriors missing Cousins like they are missing the all-star version of him? At this point hes showing to be more of a liability then anything else, they are almost better off without him. We're past the point of if he was healthy and heading into he cant stay healthy.

Say hypothetical you start both of these series without KL and KD then Gasol and Klay both miss game three, is this series tied, is it 3-1 warriors? Raptors have an extremely impressive record without KL, I dont agree they'd be lost without him versus a KD-less Warriors in this series the way with the Warriors looked lost today. Were talking about them missing their best player, they still have a two time MVP on their team and they didnt look like it at all. This is all jus my opinion, think Raptors were underestimated and Warriors overestimated walking into this series i was wrong on Toronto. Yep, I'm an idealist like Steve hoping for an end to dynasty days of the NBA. Sacrifices have to be made.

I dont agree with assessment GS has better roster going into start of this series, think we all jus thought they'd play better then they are right now anyway. That's jus my opinion, game 3 exposed how few shooters they have outside their usual suspects. I mean, Warriors have only beat this team once all year, and I know no one likes to count regular season, but this box score speak volumes to me, it should've been an omen with only 3 players in double figures: https://www.espn.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=401070997 Warriors All Stats MIN FG 3PT REB AST PF PTS 36 3-7 0-3 4 5 2 6 43 18-31 4-7 11 6 4 51 11 1-1 0-0 0 0 2 2 21 4-9 0-2 0 1 2 8 44 9-20 3-9 3 3 3 23 MIN FG 3PT REB AST PF PTS 16 0-3 0-0 4 0 1 0 33 8-13 3-5 9 3 5 20 26 3-7 0-1 10 2 3 7 17 1-5 0-0 2 7 0 4 -- ----- ----- -- -- -- -- 18 3-7 1-3 3 0 0 7 50-103 11-30 46 27 22 128

Of course a healthy GS team wins, but what got exposed is the lack of depth on that team. I dont think Cousins even counts as a starter considering how many games hes missed, and again, only 4 players scored in double figures for GS. Their role players didnt step up, not enough shooters, that's the real reason this series is over. KD isnt coming back and they arent fixing that depth in one offseason, theres nothing wrong with acknowledging they are finally coming south of the stratosphere.

Ill admit I got caught up in the underdog narrative, but it's time for women and children first. For the good of the NBA, this ship needs to sink.

You right that's it's been pretty easy to be a Warriors fan the last 5 years at least. They probably got a whole new generation of fans out of this, and jus saw live how many fairweathers they have.

Heat looked out classed in that series realizing the reality of having limited depth and star players with their mind elsewhere. That's what this looks like as well.

Hope Klay leaves, too, nuke this dynasty with no clear idea for the next one. It's not gonna be the knicks, womp womp.

It's the owners getting greedy, prices go up for playoffs games no matter the team, Wizards no exception. Aren't they going to be over the luxury tax if they keep Klay and let KD leave still? My only hope is we don't get a new super team, nba might have chance at some parity for a change, I'm not a believer in a Raptors dynasty. He's better off with a KL sock puppet in his place. I'm 99% sure he was in his head like "crap, too honest"

Dude gets free meals in Downtown and that's his response? Get ready for a new "decision". @Destino I want to give credit to KL for the effect he had on the Spurs and now the Raptors, but I'm convinced he's an asshole and his HOF speech will be a monotone final reminder of that.

Omg, that's inside Oracle? Did y'all see all the Raptor fans in there? Holy ****!!!

I imagine getting in that arena was like paying rent in that area. KD looks pitiful, too, surprised he didn't try to beat traffic as well.

It's like Curry got put on the cover of Madden with the "gravity" talk in here. Now we see, now we know. I don't want to go so far as say streaky, but this was a game 2-9 from wasn't going to cut it. Only 4 players in double digits for GS is the sign of death of another dynasty, feel like I've seen this before.

Heading for the exits? Y'all may never see them Oakland again. Weak sauce.

I tuned out on Cousins when I saw him walk towards a long rebound and Danny Green just run it down from him. He went from all in for first finals to totally lost.

Everyone talks about KDs legacy for going to GS, but what does this say of Curry if he only gets one ring out of this dynasty without KD to help him?

I can do it. ****, no I can't. Much much better team defense by the Warriors.

I watched two the of the new episodes for black mirror, why would give a bear a vagina in a virtual reality fighting game?

My brain just won't go their, only way Tornoto goes off like it did last game is if GS defense fails again. In back to back games at home?

True, you caught me, I was speaking more to hoping you would read more about it versus dismissing my example, not abortion in general. That's reasonable when having a discussion with someone over the internet, but not when they're sitting right in front of you.

You just took it the wrong way in the wrong medium for this conversation. Don't take it personal.

I'll be honest I'd hoped you would've done that after my first post instead writing that off as a singular example.

History is relevant in modern times because it's what lead to the environment we have in modern times. It all adds up and accumulates and when policies are in effect for a long time, their effects can be felt long after they are over. See Willie Lynch Letter. When you see this topic come up, that's where a lot of people start, that's why I started there. At minimum I look at it as unintended consequence with other cases being more malicious in the last 100 years this has been going on.

Right, because history doesn't matter or how it started. Fine, here's a billboard from 2018:

Here's an article about the founder of planned parenthood that talks about how she went to black communities with help of NAACP to drum up support for women's rights to birth control. https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/08/14/432080520/fact-check-was-planned-parenthood-started-to-control-the-black-population In the 20s, black community really didn't support it. It's not really clear if she put the same amount of effort into outreach to a different racial community, but her strong connection to eugenics makes people uncomfortable on the topic. Needless to say that outreach is so effective blacks have more abortions on average them any other racial group in the country and its not even close.
