You and the rest of the RCF lifers know how difficult the Golden State relationship is for me. I was one more LeBron-led Cavs vs. Durant-led Warriors season away from a therapist.
I had two favorite teams, and I could always count on them to be poorly run and mediocre.
Then they both became the best teams in pro sports AT THE SAME TIME. It was total bullshit for me on a personal level.
Even after the 2015 Cavs lost, the Warriors were still my second favorite team in the NBA. I cared about that Mark Jackson led Warriors group and followed them as closely as my Cavs.
But then... after all the back and forth, the hatred festered and grew. Their fanbase became the tipping point.
I'm not back from it yet. I still spite-follow the Warriors, and I'm not proud of it. My feelings towards them are very similar to the feelings I had to a certain John Carroll University cheerleader I was boning for about a year who dumped me. Just sad to watch, really.
Oh, Draymond... what can I say - if he is on your team, you love him. If he's not, what an asshat. Basically, he is small forward Delly.
Lowkey, when I thought LeBron coming back was a lost cause (I gave up on any idea of it pretty much after they made the Finals in year 1 and was done at first Heat title) I was actually looking to the Warriors to be the team to take them out of the top of the NBA. Turns out it was the Spurs (and the presence of Kyrie on the Cavs). Then after they won a title off the lack of both Love and Kyrie for the series and watching their fans... it was over. Bray-mond making the comments he did was the icing on the cake. It's over for them until either Steph or Bray retires.
