[Western Conference Finals] (1)Golden State vs. (3)Oklahoma City

when steph was dropping 3 pointers in the portland series, he is back. Now they're getting their behinds handed to them, he is not 100 percent. Oh please, guarding russell westbrook will not make a person 100 percent.

No excuses for the Warriors. Talking about people not being 100% is hilarious given that literally every team they played last year in the playoffs in order to win their fluke championship was missing at least their starting PG and most were missing their starting PF as well. If those guys were playing, even not 100%, the Warriors don't make it past the Grizzlies.

 

When curry went off in that overtime, and started strutting around claiming he's back, he just meant that he was back for that game. Not forever. That took a lot out of him. If he was at full strength, and if d. Green hadn't been psychologically tormented by the Internet and media over much ado about nothing, this series would have been much different.

They have to win the next one, otherwise everything they've accomplished this year means nothing.

"Testicular contusion" of a scrub <<<< psychological torment of a star.. On the greatest team of all time.

 

discriminating much?

so if green, or any other celebrity figure/star kicks your balls or robs your house, it will be all justified, eh?

gtfo.

 

Some BS from the league not suspending Green. That's twice in one series, back to back games. Pathetic.

 

justice served I guess

 

i didn't notice both were but i noticed one was out of a timeout and i thought it was smart for the same reason. then i thought i remembered a thread in the GARM detailing the efficiency for each team on ATO plays ostensibly to see who was a good coach and i wanna say the efficiencies on ATO plays were worse than the average offense for most teams (because the defense is set) and then i thought it might be a bad idea to it on those plays.

 

im assuming you're being sarcastic.. are you?

 

I noticed it, too, and thought it was for the same reason: so that Golden State could not run their designed play and possibly give OKC time to prepare for that set. I think Donovan planned it well, and if I were him, I wouldn't do it on consecutive possessions. Mix it up. Hack-Ezeli, allow the Warriors to run one set, hack-Ezeli again, etc. Confuse the Warriors so that they don't know when to expect it. When they don't know when to expect it, Golden State won't always commit to the sets and it'll waste time off the shot clock making it easier for OKC to defend.

 

Only +225? Damn, that's not juicy enough to bet. I thought it would've been at least +350...

i see GS bouncing back in game 5 with some adjustments on offense. so OKC will have to grab game 6 in order to win this series. it's 50/50 rite now imo

I still think Golden State will win this series

They will bounce back

 

Needs to be at the podium with Adams.

 

This is why people shouldn't gloat until OKC wins 4.

 

Westbrook is special. If he wanted to he could be 'Middle Weight' Champion in boxing. Trust me he's got the frame and all the tools to do that if he wants to prematurely walk away from basketball. But then again so can a guy with eerie resemblance in Dwayne Wade. Perfect multi sport cross over bodies that can handle the rigors of pro boxing.
