    That's it, right at 22 seconds. What a joke. I would love to see GS get crushed.

    The only people defending Draymond Green's flops are GSW fans.

    Pondexter and Cunningham were probably sick to their stomachs watching the game film. They never even attempted to box out a man on most of those offensive rebounds.

    I mentioned this in the Terry thread but I don't think the NBA has fined for flopping where the ref called a foul. GSW baited the refs in both of those instances last night, so I don't think they'll get fined.

    I'd be happy to be proven wrong though

    For a good defensive team like the Grizzlies, I think they worry less about the PnR situations, and more about the loose balls, transitions, offensive rebounds and other "random" Curry/Klay shots.

    That's what kills you, and that's what killed the Pelicans last night.

    Defending in the half court, if your a good defensive team, is your bread and butter. When you start getting into crazy scrambles in transition or off offensive rebounds, that's when Curry has a tendency to hit some crazy stuff, off the dribble or otherwise.

    Also, Klay Thomson is a great defender. Curry is not. The Rockets, or any team, really, should be running 1-2 pick and rolls all game.

    If the Rockets have the good fortune of meeting the Warriors in the playoffs, I'd like to see some Harden on Curry post-ups, for example. Curry averaged the lowest fouls per game/minute of his career. The Warriors have masked him all season, and he hasn't gambled when switched into, with the Warriors relying on otherwise solid team defense.

    But the Rockets would be well-suited to get Curry switched on Harden, and then run some Harden / big men pick and rolls, etc.

    Just like the Warriors are dangerous in scramble situation, the Rockets are equally so. And with the exception of the true all time greats, which Curry is definitely not (neither is Harden), the more you make someone defend, the less energy they have for offense.

    adding a ref would create way too many foul calls need to clean it up let a little more physical play and actually punish flops

    At 22 seconds that was his right elbow. Anderson hit him with his LEFT elbow and noticed how Anderson did NOT complain or say a word. He Knows he glazed him with his elbow, but Green did flop to sell the foul or else the ref probably wouldn't have the offensive foul.

    According to the NBA, the referees also missed Green fouling Davis on a rebound with 24 seconds left that led directly to 1 point and they also missed Curry traveling prior to making a 3 pointer with 11 seconds left. You're right. Probably should not have been overtime and New Orleans should have won.

    Asik playing like ass. There needs to be a discussion about where he'll end up. If you can't hide him next to all-world big like AD, where does he fit?

    "I'm not sure if this team has weaknesses. How do you beat this Warriors team 4 times in a season?"

    I'm kind of wondering this myself. They are deep as hell.

    #1 Get your rebounds! 2nd chance opportunities are back-breaking

    Warriors are probably the best team in the league when it comes to capitalizing off of chaos. Whether that is transition, 2nd chance, whatever.
