  1. Pack this shit in. Two embarrassing efforts in a row by the road team. Lakers deserve credit though. Not going to win many games when AD is literally everywhere, even if Golden State had played a solid game.
  2. Bullshit. He fouls on most plays and just counts on the refs to not foul him out of every game. Let it go, man. We get it. You're wrong, but we understand why you hold that opinion. Draymond's histrionics have made it important to judge him fairly as a basketball player, and he only has himself to blame.
  3. This take foul shit has got to stop. I get the intentional foul to stop a fast break, or a clear path foul. But Russell just happened to be in the way on that one.
  4. I got pushback last year for suggesting that Leclerc makes more unforced errors than other top drivers. Oopsie.
  5. Honestly, when Russia invaded Ukraine and started genociding, resulting in financial sanctions, did anyone not think that GRHorn would use the situation as a direct advertisement for cryptocurrency? Few things have ever been as predictable.
  6. Playing every other night all series definitely favors Golden State. LA looked gassed in the fourth on Tuesday and most of this game. Chasing around Steph and Klay is a beating. I expect Golden State to run about 100 PnRs in Game 3 with Steph and whomever is being guarded by AD. This series is pretty easy though: if AD plays as aggressively as he did in Game 1 three, probably four more times, the Lakers win. LeBron can't take over games singlehandedly anymore, and we're not going to be talking about how the Warriors dynasty was ended by Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, and D'Angelo Russell.
  7. And dudes have been getting layups off his passes. Pick your poison. Making other guys beat you--including Klay--is a sound strategy, but not if they're getting warm up shots. Something tells me if other guys weren't hitting and the game was closer, he'd have more than 6 shots. But why exert the energy.
  8. Steph isn't a team meeting big speech kind of leader, but he had to address the team before Game 7 and basically tell everyone who's in their feelings about playing time and their role to not bother getting on the bus. Doesn't exactly take a rocket surgeon to figure out that he was talking to Poole and Kuminga.
  9. Dude. 23/6/5 on 42%/34% splits isn't "good" for a superstar player of his regular season caliber. It's profoundly disappointing. You act like he plays decently enough, but is eventually just overmatched, when he's often a (the?) key contributor to their demise. He shot under 40% in that infamous 2015 Clippers series and was riding the bench during Josh Smith heroics. In the obvious aforementioned 2017 Spurs' series, it wasn't just the pathetic Game 6; he shot 41%/31% for the series (3-17 in Game 2). In 2018, against Golden State, he shot 41%/24% (on 11 3PTA a game). The following year, he lost Game 6 at home to a KD-less Warriors. So yeah, we remember the stinkers first because there's been so many, and he hasn't broken through yet. Of course he isn't always bad. He's played a shit ton of playoff games. But consistency is a huge part of what makes a superstar a superstar. You generally have no fucking clue what you'll get out of him. He deserves credit for a HUGE game after looking washed in round 1. He's in a great spot with little pressure. He's no longer his team's best player. Win the series, and he'll get serious props for setting the tone by stealing Game 1 practically singlehandedly. Lose, and it falls on Embiid or his injury.
  10. Jokic is the best player in the league. I don't know why we always have to overcomplicate this shit.
  11. Damn. Don't think I've ever seen a KD jumper be blocked from head on.
  12. I had to stop watching for a bit...is CP3 really out with a non-contact, soft tissue groin injury?
  13. That's almost impossible, yet here we are.
  14. Why is Steph Curry yelling "Light the beam!" in Game 7 not a GIF yet? It needs to be.
  15. They play every other day all the way through a potential Game 7. Pretty rough for a couple of old teams, but travel will at least be easy.
  16. A little misleading since they probably weren't getting out of the first round two years ago had the won one of their play-in games, but it goes to show just how tough they are to eliminate in a 7 game series.
  17. Harrison Barnes today: 14 minutes, 4 points (1-4 shooting), 0 rebounds, 0 assists, 0 steals, 0 blocks, 0 fouls. Bruh. Not how you want to enter free agency. Not his fault--he's not a star--but talk about a bullet dodged. He turned down a big extension from Golden State in 2016 that directly led to the KD signing. What a different reality that would have been.
  18. With this win, under Kerr: - The Warriors have won at least one road game in an NBA record 28 consecutive series - They are 19-0 in series against Western Conference teams - They are 6-1 in series where they've fallen behind in the series' standings Unreal. They're probably not winning the title this year, but you're going to have to pull the rope out of Steph's cold, dead hands.
  19. I don't know what defense you play to let literally anyone but Steph beat you, but maybe Mike Brown should give one a shot. Klay, Wiggins, and Poole are a combined 10-37, and they're winning by 14.
  20. Warriors have done their best to squander it going 3-11 on FTs and missing a couple easy layups. Should be a 15 point lead with that kind of rebounding effort.
  21. He's not even that bad of a shooter, but, as good as Sacramento's offense is, Golden State will take Sabonis shooting 50% on 2s--and pulling him away from the offensive glass--all day, every day.
