There’s something about these new Cavs that feels like the old Warriors.
The 2014-15 Warriors had…
🔹Steph Curry (25 years old)
🔹Klay Thompson (23 years old)
🔹Andre Iguodala (30 years old)
🔹Draymond Green (23 years old)
A core with an average age of 25.
The 2024-2025 Cleveland Cavaliers have…
🔸Darius Garland (25 years old)
🔸Donovan Mitchell (28 years old)
🔸Jarrett Allen (26 years old)
🔸Evan Mobley (23 years old)
A core with an average age of 25.
“Don’t ever compare these Cavs to those Warriors they are nothing like them!”
Is that true?
A dynamic backcourt.
A defensive force.
A new coach.
A selfless style of play.
A winning culture.
All on the exact same timeline.
“The Cavs haven’t proven it in the playoffs!”
…Neither did the Warriors before 2015.
This was the entire playoff history of Steph, Klay and Draymond before their first title run:
🔹2nd round exit in 2013
🔹1st round exit in 2014
And this is the entire playoff history of the Cavs’ core:
🔸1st round exit in 2023
🔸2nd round exit in 2024
The majority of NBA fans didn’t think the Warriors would actually win it all in 2015. Same for the Bucks in 2021. And the Nuggets in 2023.
They all had the same “good in the regular season but what about the playoffs” reputation.
The Cavs probably won’t win 4 championships in the next 7 years. The new CBA is designed to prevent things like adding Kevin Durant to a 73-9 team.
But the 2024-25 Cavs are on a 70-win pace with the same blueprint. Their core is young and under contract for years. And for the first time without LeBron James…
The Land is not far from the Promised Land 🤷🏽♂️
Jordan Peterson is a fucking moron. Go ahead and read about what Josef Mengele was doing in Auschwitz’s, or Babi Yar, or really any story from the holocaust and tell me that “gender-affirming care” is in any way comparable.
If you only have 3 minutes to watch Joe Rogan’s podcast today, this is the 3 minutes you need to see.
Jordan Peterson just described “gender-affirming care” in a way no one else would dare.
“I've never seen anything worse than what's happening right now. And that includes the sorts of things that were done in the camps in Germany. At least the goddamn Naz*s admitted what they did was wrong. They tried to hide it. We trumpet it as a moral virtue.”
“These surgical procedures are so brutal and so experimental that they're—I'm going to say it again—they're worse than what the Mengele types did in the concentration camps in the thirties and forties. And that's a pretty goddamn low bar.”
