    They do play Moreyball. 3's, free throws, and paint shots. That's Moreyball. Maybe the Bucks shoot less three's, but thats only because their star player who takes the majority of the shots doesn't shoot three's well. Moreyball isn't just isolation, Morey would welcome ball movement, however Moreys star players happen to excel in the isolation so we play Moreyball with a lot more isolations.

    Moreyball is 3's, freethrows, and paint shots while catering to your star players strength of play. That is exactly what the Bucks do to a T.

    LOOL, "multiple gears" good lord what a bunch of non sense. All you got is narrative garbage.

    They arent saying that about the Blazers or Clippers. Steve Kerr definetly did not say "put the fear of god in you" about any other team. Get real.

    lol, what a joke of a WCF

    Dame in 3 games vs GS...4-12, 6-16, and 5-18...this is after going 3-17 against Denver in game 7 and shooting 40% from the field in that series

    but wait, because he finally had a good playoff series against bumass OKC he was some now some playoff god, a killer, an assasin, and better than playoff Harden...WHAT A JOKE

    if Harden ever played like Playoff Dame, we would be getting bounced in the 1st round and handled easily...many are quick to destroy Harden when most other stars are easily worse than he is in the playoffs

    Harden declines from offensive GOAT in the regular season to top 5 superstar in the playoffs...meanwhile, we forget that top 5 superstar is still a level most of these dudes can’t reach...

    some people were really talking about how they’d rather have Lillard in the playoffs than Harden...great laughs...don’t disrespect the Beard

    Warriors have 22 consecutive playoff series with a road victory.

    Ridiculous

    This! I will help him drive his rolls royce to wherever he is traded to too.
    No big man is worth 90 mil unless their name is Giannis, Anthony Davis or Embiid. We need to use that money on getting versatile 3/4's to play along side Tucker. That Length is so Important.

    Warriors reminding everyone of what they used to be like before Durant - simply relentless!!!

    If Bucks dont watchout, they will run into a buzz saw

    Nah, it’s good stuff. Hoping for a sweep in both and then hoping the Warriors win in 4 or 5 in the Finals. Ratings will be way down and it will hopefully force the league to start making “Warrior” rules like enforcing moving screens instead of making “Harden” rules every offseason.

    League deserves this.

    Dray is the best player in conf finals, very aggressive, can play 48 minutes any game.

    Which player would be would you take if they were a 36% three point shooter and good mid range shooter: Draymond or Ben Simmons?

    I thought blazers would get game 3 at home but it's going to be a sweep. Even if they win game 4, it will be over in 5.

    Houston loses, it's because Harden choked.

    Portland loses, it's because Dame is fatigued.

    Media bias.
