[WC Semifinals] (2)Golden State vs. (6)New Orleans

Steph has a bad habit of doing stupid disrepectful moves and pissing off his opponents.

Last night this:


This last year:

 

I noticed this stuff and always wonder why he hasn't been knocked on his ass yet.

 

seems like other players worship him. or is it the media that make it seem that way?

 

Pelicans looked very good and indeed got some calls tonight, should've been up 2-1. It was also very obvious they didn't want to call on their starters early and then Looney got 2 quick fouls. Some touch fouls that they definitely didn't get in GS they got tonight. I will say though that AD is very soft at times. All those fade-aways, I get that Green is a great defender, but come on. He finally did it in the 2nd half, but that was because the defense was spread since they hit their threes.

I have to say though that while I have disliked Rondo for ages, I have tremendous respect for him as a basketball player. How easy he makes it look to run an offense and Harden and CP3 might have good basketball IQ, Rondo's might be top of the league. We should take some notes from how they just played the Warriors, because they got a lot of easy baskets due to off the ball movement and quick duck-ins by AD and Mirotic.

 

Jalen Rose says that NBA players don't like him that much. Media of course loves Curry..

 

Interesting is what they dun like about him, winning too much? His fetish with Mouth pieces?

 

I have no Idea. NBA players seem to really like Lebron. He's a winner. Jalen said this back when Harden got his Player MVP though. Don't know if players still dislike Curry now.

 

Or I think he has the perfect family background, his picturesque wife and kids, everything seems to be so perfect.........and still b****es on the court.

Other dudes have to struggle to get there.

 

The Pelis fouls mostly in the act of shooting then, you think?

I think Pelis have a strong chance against the dubs if they keep from fouling, but I can’t tell if Warriors are just that good at baiting them into it or something else that can be overcome.

Edit:it appears they’re good at baiting the Pelis. Dubs have gotten 32, 27, and 26 FTs in the last three games. Yikes, Pels are attempting like 11 per game.

 

Wasn't expecting GS to get blown out. That hasn't happened much.

 

this is not disrespectful ...its straight having fun and being cheerful ..everything become disrespectful nowadays

 

Glad the Pels beat the Warriors to calm all that "warriors are back and looking unstoppable" noise.

 

Maybe its because Curry doesn't take any contact but loves to showboat out there. Curry is NBA superstar who has had the easiest path to a title he never knows what it feels like to be an only option being locked on by the entire enemy defense like Harden, KD or Lebron. He's always had Thompson and Green by his side but he showboats way worse than Lebron.

 

Those 65 games have nothing to do with Anderson, it has all to do with Harden, Cp3, Capela and all the rest of the players who all produce.

There is a thing called the NBA SALARY CAP that limits how much you can spend on a player. Because of that as a fan you need to care how much a player makes even if its not your money. Whats dumb is you act like that doesn't exist.

If you dont understand how the NBA salary cap works you should stfu and stop posting about Ryan anderson because you dont have any idea what the F is going on.

 

I remember hearing last season that a lot of players hated Curry. But not because of his showboating. Rather because of him having a dad who played in the NBA which paved the way for him to get there.

I think that's a little unfair, BTW. I loathe Curry for his antics and how he's coddled by the league. But what the hell is the guy supposed to do about having an NBA player for a father? It's not his fault. Plus he's a way better pro than Dell Curry ever dreamed of being.

 

I think what's dumb is blaming the player for the salary cap situation when it is the GM's job to manage it. But we've gone over that many times. I don't expect to change your mind about it.

 

The Pelicans win over the #Worriers was glorious. I would like an encore performance, please!

 

If this was in his home court it'd be a different story. I feel like this kind of clowning on an opponent's court is disrespectful (and downright stupid). That's just my opinion.

 

Notice at the end of this clip, McGee is like, 'quit that bro!'



When Javale McGee is giving you mental pointers you must be doing something wrong.

 

That’s the story I’ve heard about both Curry and Thompson. Both have that private school, we’re better than you attitude on the court which rubs a lot of the guys, who came from very little, wrong. Think Papa Doc (ie Clarence) from Eight Mile.

But, I’ve also heard he’s great off the court which is what the media loves. Thompson...not so much.
