Does this confirm the Nuggets as the true WC contenders. they beat GSW and OKC in back to back games!
Two years ago I said two things teams need to do to beat Golden State. And what do you know, teams are starting to do it more and more. You need to show hard on Curry on the p'n'r so he's back-peddling after coming across the screen instead of moving towards the basket. You also need to attack him on defense because he is a woeful, utterly woeful defender when forced to defend the action. I love Ego blatantly calling it how he sees it against the 'unanimous' MVP. I love that teams are now starting to do those two things more and more. It was beyond frustrating to watch them do it, get a double digit lead, then go away from it and get blown out. No coincidence OKC play this way the whole game and get yet another blowout.
Impressive win by OKC. Paul George is a top tier all star and he's now starting to get comfortable as the clear cut number 2 on OKC. Things are getting interesting in the West! I don't know if OKC can consistently deliver that sort of performance, but this win clearly demonstrates their potential. That defense was nasty
PG is for real. I know everyone's got their hopes up for Lebron, but PG honestly fits our system far better than Lebron. If we somehow got PG this year, we'd be the favorites to win it all.
The Reffing was kind of crazy I thought the Warriors got ALOT of favorable calls and still lost Rocker River
I think he was the clear cut number 2 when he arrived in OKC if anything he should be their number one option at this point
What we are seeing with GSW is that if you are TOUGH inside and can rebound and at the same time force turnovers you can throw GSW off their game. OKC took it to GSW. OKC played with force and attacked the rim. GSW had no answer. No shot blocking. And GSW's rebounding was soft. Of the Rockets 2 wins against GSW this season, the first game was good shooting but the 2nd game was more representative of the best way to beat GSW and that was controlling the boards. So, the Rockets getting ANOTHER big that can rebound to couple of Capela for 48min of quality C play feels like the move to make. Iggy and Livingston have appeared to age quickly.
Yea but at least his is athletic a roll man. That's why I think they better get jordan. They would be elite again. I would hate that doh. But that's a good g.m. n they do have some talent to give up
Like I said they just need to attack the rim more. That's on Durant to get more aggressive. They not going to the line that much. Thats what makes the rockets work better. We shot 3s are attack the rim. They shoot 3's n shot mid range. The rockets have a better philosophy more effective one steak once golden state starts hacking around you'll see them get a lot better
