Early game was fun

Bos/NY played hard.. GS/CLE looks like both of them would rather be elsewhere.

Going up for a layup like a pussy

bron and zaza will be at a park later tonight betting paychecks

like that last layup from dray on liggins. that's either a block or a charge. but it can't be nothing.

Ref blew the whistle before the contact

KD's team

Mike Prada @MikePradaSBN

Coming into today’s game, Steph Curry is shooting 29.9% on 3s after one or more dribble.

Shot 43% on those shots last year.

His game has suffered the most out of the Warrior's Big 4. His shooting with the ball added a dynamic to the Warrior offense which hasn't been there this year.

Is there not really an excuse for Bron not to hammer that down?

if you hate on this guy, you don't like basketball.

i'm mad.

If they're gonna call the RJ stare down

i'm totally with JVG on this.

steph or kd only. preferably kd.

only someone as dumb as Mark Jackson would say that isn't a foul

kd need to toughen up

joking, you're prolly 30 by now

it looked as if Jefferson stepped on one of Durant's feet as well; the overhead view of the replay is the best angle to see it.

The Warriors screwed up on their own in numerous ways in that fourth quarter, so I can't get too many at the refs for that non-call being the sole deciding factor.

to shoot themselves in the foot.

The ensuing Draymond Green post-game diatribe should be memorable though.

he tripped him..


and not calling the T on Lebron is some bullshat too...

.

Ky ky came up big against us once again

You apologize yet?

for the most important play of the game

.

I thought getting exposed like he did during last year's Finals would have motivated him to improve in that regard. Durant is nice and all with the scoring punch he adds, but it's going to be tough to hide behind the fact he can't defend on the wing. He can only hide behind Klay Thompson defensively for so long.

Dude's game is so riddled with little unforgivable
flaws

Meanwhile, Lebron does everything possible for his
team to win and was shitted on routinely

Pop is gonna make mid-range matter again, watch. You have to attack from the entire floor, you can't just let defenses ignore a big slice of it.

He looks unstoppable like prime Kareem one game then he can't score on Pierce the next night. Dude is just the ultimate front runner, you can tell what type of game he's going to have based on the first quarter b/c he isn't the type of dude that fights through adversity.

And he still soft, lol

Possessions.

It would be great to see Rondo fight thru a screen.

glad it made it to a 2nd year. No more pajamas please.

.

Wow!

He has bad turnovers and his defense is trash but everyone gets blinded by half court threes. What pisses me off is people criticize Russy like he doesn't pass the ball when Steph has three all stars and isn't even top ten in the league in assist. The only year Steph has averaged more assist than Russy was the year Russy was hurt.

He really hit a downward spiral early when he had the knee issues, was coming up short on everything, lost confidence and starting hitching on his jumper. He's finally gotten through it, shooting without hesitation and naturally, it's back to his 1-motion release.

In terms of position, he's far more effective as a small 4 (his Miami splits between 3/4 were significant) because he cannot move laterally with 3's and he's an effective rebounder with his awareness, leverage, reaction time, and length. Luke tried to jam a triangle into a square there but the adjustment has now been made.

..building a lead is a sign of talent and execution.

maintaining that lead is a sign of poise and maturity.

hopefully, they'll turn that corner soon.

When he was asked to Tank and coddle a Kobe farewell?

Did you blame inexperience then? The you guys were, by
definition, younger last year.

CP3 in particular would have annihilated us bc of our inconsistent PnR defense and subsequent scrambling. Everyone for the Clips was forced to overextend and it showed...once we finally starting getting over the top on JJ's curls, we got enough stops to get a lead. Combination of good shot-making and bone-headed decisions to give the Clips 10 straight in 3 mins to open the 4th but we responded multiple times and forced non-shooters to make shots.

I was very happy to see Luke freakin finally pull Clarkson after he forced another runner in the lane.

Nice to win period...regardless of how you get it lol.

the bron tech for hanging on the rim and RJ stepping on Durant's foot.

he did look pretty fraudulent yesterday. Him and Draymond really under-performed pretty much the whole game. I sound like a broken record since I'm sure I've typed this out two or three times already on this message baord, but it's a damn shame Steph didn't get better on the defensive end since he got exposed in about two or three of the Finals games last year.

He also turned the ball over twice in the fourth quarter during the period the Warriors started to blow their 14 point lead. Him and Steph had some careless turnovers.

Does the NBA punish them somehow0? Demote them to less meaningful games? I just wonder if these mea cuplas have any teeth to them or if this is just the NBA's way of saving face.

I'm guessing this is something in response to social media somehow.

I'm sure they have some sort of internal rating system thats used to dole out future assignments.

But the refs have always made multiple mistakes per game. We might only be aware of or focus on the major ones but there may be another 20 mistakes in 1 game that isn't even realized ie, incorrect positioning, incorrect substitutions, missed violations, improper inbound spot, poor clock management, rule misapplication, etc. and that doesn't even touch on incorrect judgment calls.

The NBA refs are the best referees the country has to offer. Its not like there are better options available than the nba's current officials, so a ref that has a bad season is likely to not get key playoff games but its not like they are going to get entirely removed bc there aren't better officials to bring on and you can't overwork the ones you currently have.

The sole purpose of the nba coming out with this is to be more transparent and move the conversation from arguing whether it was a missed call or not. Its not to put the focus on the referees though. You'll notice they never identify which referee made the incorrect or missed the call because that's not the point.

at the end of that OKC/Spurs playoff game last season...I just said fuck it. I figure, whichever team you root for...there's gonna be calls that go your way and calls that don't. I mean, Liggins drew to charges. One was called nothing, the other was called a blocking foul.

I do know:

Klay once again showed he's just a better all-around player than Steph.

Bron shot better from 3 than everyone NOT named Klay.

The two time MVP got benched when the game was on the line, because he can't guard anyone. Kerr was literally like, we gotta get this dude out of here. He also had a couple of costly turnovers down the stretch cuz he still on that Curly Neal.

As I said last season during the Cavs/Pistons series...Kyrie is a fucking demon. Klay could not have defended him ANY better on that last shot. Imagine he'd done that to Steph...AGAIN.

KD, one of the most lethal scoring machines the league has ever seen...had 33 points with 9 minutes left in the game...and finished the game with 36. Also...he had the ball in his hands at the end and drew 36 year old Richard Jefferson, but proceeded to dribble AWAY from the basket.

>Also...he had the ball
>in his hands at the end and drew 36 year old Richard
>Jefferson, but proceeded to dribble AWAY from the basket.

Some of that could have been poor spacing/execution from the Warriors in general though, not just on Durant. Catching the pass where he did on the court didn't leave him with much room to operate given the amount of time on the clock.

but he left to do a new thing, I'm not letting up on him when I see the same old shit happening.

so I'm sure I dislike him more than you currently do, but he played too well yesterday to get blamed and fried individually for the loss. Even though he moved away from the basket like you said, he was still able to draw contact from Jefferson, so he did something right despite how broken that play was.
