DRAYMOND IS THE ENGINE OF THIS MACHINE.
This is vintage Golden State. They just find a way to win.
Bulls fans: Chasing dreams is the engine of this machine.
Isn't that the Warriors of the past, who always find a way to win.

That defensive stop on Jokic on 1v1 was nasty.
Lakers fans: One-on-one single defense Jokic, the operation of cutting the ball is also too top!

All time defender
Eagles fans: Historic defenders.

The fact that he only has 1 DPOY is crazy
Fan: In fact, there is only one DPOY in The Dream, which is quite incredible.

Kawhi beating him in 2015 was just stupid. Draymond was the best defender on the #1 DRTG team and played 79 games to Kawhi's 64.
Jazz fans: Leonard's winning the dream in 2015 is nonsense. Dream chaser is the best defender of the first team in defensive efficiency and has played in 79 games, while Leonard has only played 64.

He's the best defender in the league when it comes to doing things that win you games. He's got every single intangible nailed down, zero weaknesses and can come up with clutch defensive plays in a way that other defenders simply can't.
Celtics fans: When it comes to winning or losing a game, Dreamcatcher is the league's best defender. He's got every detail you can't see, there's no weakness, and he can play key defenses that other defenders can't.

With 5 fouls, too. What a fucking play.
Warriors fans: And five fouls on your back, it's a tm!

Really unbelievable how one of Jokic’s best defender is 5 inches shorter than him
Trail Blazers fans: It's unbelievable that one of Jokic's best defenses is 13 centimeters shorter than him.

The replay is insane. How the hell did he tip the ball at that angle without fouling?
Celtics fans: This replay looks outrageous, how did he manage to cut the ball at that angle without committing a foul?

That looked like something that Iggy has always been so good at.
Warriors fans: Isn't this a long-lost hand-bladed masterpiece?

Jokic on the perimeter has gotten burned all series now
Warriors just keep doing it over and over
Spurs fans: Throughout the series, Jokic's outside defense was terrible.
The Warriors just need to keep hitting this point.

Advanced analytics say that Jokic is a good defender though.
Suns fans: Advanced data analysis shows that Jokic is a good defender.

He’s pretty good in the paint. But he’s just not fast enough when he’s dragged out of the paint
Doesn’t help the scheme is switch everything without fighting and he can’t go under the screens on the Warriors due to their shooting
Spurs fans: He's really good at defending on the inside. But when he's pinned to the outside, he just can't keep up with his movement speed.
He didn't help much when the team needed to switch defenses indefinitely, and he couldn't get around the cover because of the Warriors' shooting ability.

Mismatch
Fan: That's called misalignment.

There’s just no way he can keep up with that
Nuggets fans: Jokic can't keep up with Curry.

Poole casually just shooting 13/21 from three in the series.
Warriors fans: It feels like Poole easily shot 13 three-pointers in this round of playoffs, and only 21 shots.

Golden state lost kd and created another splash bro
Lone Ranger fans: The Warriors lost KD but created another Splash Brother.

The 27 teams who let the Warriors get him deserve to go to hell
Fans: The other 27 teams that let the Warriors pick Poole can go to hell. (Poole was selected with the 28th pick in the first round in '19.) ）

I mean you must not remember how people talked about him a couple years back, dude was seen as the worst player in the NBA lol
Warriors fans: I don't think you remember how people talked about him two years ago, when he was considered the worst player in the league.

Hahahaha Steph gonna be coming off the bench for the rest of the playoffs right?
Spurs fans: Hahaha, will Curry play the bench for the rest of the playoff games?

Turns out that having 5 star caliber players is better than 1 MVP.
Lakers fans: It turns out that 5 star-level players combined are better than one MVP.

Barton really took a 40 footer down 3 with 2 min to go with 12 sec on the clock
Fans: With 2 minutes left in the game and 12 seconds left in the round, the Nuggets trailed by 3 points, and Barton actually chose to shoot a three-point shot 12 meters away.
