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

Yes, they could only pay one of them the max, they picked the right one.

Now here comes the injury excuses. Curry is fine. He just isn't getting wide open looks without going through physical contact and length, and he's being attacked defensively no matter who he's holding. Funny how expending more energy can impact your legs/shooting.

 

Smart people do.

Roberson scored 7 baskets last night.

1st basket, he was guarded by Klay Thompson.
2nd basket, he was guarded by Draymond Green.
3rd basket, he was guarded by Harrison Barnes.
4th basket, he was guarded by Harrison Barnes.
5th basket, he was guarded by Harrison Barnes.
6th basket, he was guarded by Draymond Green, but there was a defensive mix-up with Curry during a Roberson screen for Westbrook (who Curry was originally guarding).
7th basket, he was guarded by Klay Thompson.

I love how you push your agenda without letting facts get in the way.

 

Facts are dumb. Opinion is what matters especially when you argue on the internet.

Ow the injury talk is just delicious. Barkley saying Curry should play less defense takes the cake, I'm loving it!! Let the media have their salty curry and we will eat some thunderous buffalo steak instead.

 

okc has just played great these last few games against GS. they've just flat out been the better team executing on both ends. Getting contributions from the guys around them has been a huge difference maker. Now they just need that final game to close this out. Easier said than done though.

 

Plus, he said "I'm back!" and the media ran away with that... what happened?

 

This "Curry being hurt" narrative only started last night because the media needs to justify their ****-riding of the Warriors. It's funny that his injury wasn't brought up against Portland after he came back, or even the first couple of games this series. I'm looking forward to the inevitable "Curry was playing with only one leg!!" announcement that comes once/if GS is eliminated.

Klay looks dangerous, he has improved his ball handling and his ability to get to the rim.

RW and KD are great, Roberson wowed me with his shooting and smarts, and Waiters has really improved as a team player.

It's gonna be tough to knock GSW out, but OKC has the ability to get the job done.

 

Not as tough at 3-1 as it was at 0-0.

The only way the Warriors are taking the next game or any game thereafter is if they set themselves a new record for 3-point shots made. The lanes are clogged up with tall, athletic Thunder men.

The Warriors are having a terrible time scoring and absent the above, they will be going fishing, just like us.:grin:

 

How many of those were after the switch from Curry?

I was wondering what we/media were gonna talk about, now that kickgate came & went.

I did not see this coming at all.

 

It's just too much to guard Westbrook though. Harden has no ****ing excuse to not guard someone like Danny Green.
