Why the Golden State Warriors are the dominant force in the NBA


The answer to the success of the Warriors isn’t easily attainable but it’s not as complicated as one may think. One word, Depth. The Warriors depth surpasses any team in the NBA by far. Just look at their starting five; two league MVPs with Steph Curry and Kevin Durant, the 2017 definitive player of the year with Draymond Green, the second-best shooting guard in the game with Klay Thompson and their decent center, Zaza Pachulia, only compliments what can only be described as the best starting lineup in the NBA right now.
Of course, other teams in the league have exceptional starting lineups such as the Spurs and the Rockets in West to compete with the Warriors and the Cavs and the Celtics over in the East. These starting lineups just can’t stand next to the Warriors because they simply just don’t have enough depth. If LeBron James is out or not playing well enough then guys like Kevin Love and, just recently, Isiah Thomas will have to step up while if Steph Curry or Klay Thompson are having an off game the Warriors don’t miss a beat. Kevin Durant and Draymond Green can easily step up their performance on the court and these players have proven that time and time again.
Let’s look at the team in West who most likely offers the highest threat to the Warriors, the San Antonio Spurs. Kawhi Leonard is obviously one of the best players in the league and probably the best two-way player as well, point being he’s a star and when he’s hot so is his team. Unfortunate Kawhi is the only star on the Spurs anymore; the 2017 Western Conference Finals were a clear indication of that. Kawhi went down in Game 1 when the Spurs had a 21-point lead in the third quarter against the Warriors and that was it for his team. The Warriors not only came back and won the game but went on to sweep the Spurs who lost Kawhi for the whole series. No team in the West nor the entire NBA for that matter can truly compare to the depth of the Golden State Warriors. If Kevin Durant goes down then they’ll bring in NBA Finals MVP, Andre Iguodala. If Steph Curry goes down then in comes more than capable point guard and 12-year veteran, Shaun Livingston. Hold on a second while I tell you the Western Conference champion for the next 2-3 years, The Golden State Warriors.

Top Ten favorite Multiplayer Maps in the Halo video game series

Now you should know my Halo experience really took off with Halo: Reach but I have played many of the great classic Halo maps from the original trilogy in the Master Chief Collection, forge remakes and the actual games themselves. Enjoy! 10. Zanzibar, Halo 2 Many would rank this map higher and rightfully so (there are just 9 more maps i like better). This is one of the most unique maps in Halo's history as it is a landmark map for Halo 2 and 3. This map offers intense action from its open areas, the beach, the platform next to the wheel, to the small corridors in the structure behind the wheel (not the most avid description I know) and of course the wheel itself provides memorable, fun combat and the variety of vehicles just adds to the mayhem. 9. Epitaph, Halo 3 One of the most slick and gorgeous maps in Halo. Epitaph is one of my favorite close quarters, small team maps with players never knowing what’s around each corner or if they'll get hit out of nowh...

Comics I am currently following

“Batman: Rebirth” by Tom King Batman has been and always will be my favorite superhero and Tom King and company are certainly doing the caped crusader justice. This run of Batman had a decent start but has since elevated to the most engaging story out of all the runs I’m reading. Tom King is showing a unique side of Batman; we’re seeing a character who is devoted to crime fighting beginning to find an alternative to his life, a happier life that doesn’t consist of Jokes and Riddles. If I had to recommend one DC: Rebirth line to pick up, then this is it. “Superman: Rebirth” by Patrick J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason I’ve written a separate blog post all about this run (which you should check out) but I’m gonna reiterate its greatness anyway. Tomasi and Gleason have put together one of the best Superman comic lines in years thanks to a unique approach to the man of steel with the inclusion of a strong family aspect. Clark’s wife and son add a new layer to his character as well a...

The real reason I believe why Robb Stark failed in "Game of Thrones"

Major Spoiler Alert for Seasons 1-3 of “Game of Thrones” so read at your own risk! The fall of Robb Stark of Winterfell also known as the “The King in the North” is one of the most tragic stories in Game of Thrones ; there’s no denying that. The young wolf was betrayed by those who swore allegiance to him, saw his beautiful wife and unborn child gutted and lost everything he ever loved and fought for. The most common reasoning for Robb’s downfall is that he broke his vow to marry a daughter of Walder Frey and while this is certainly a large component of his downfall it was not the only cause of it. Quite frankly I don’t even think it was his worst mistake. Robb Stark was a brilliant strategist and he knew how to motivate his fellow northerners in the War of the Five Kings, yet he still made “stupid mistakes” like his father as his own sister, Sansa, put it last season. Robb won every battle and still lost the war, so it makes sense that he must have made some rather foolish mist...
