[Western Conference Playoffs - 1st round] (1)Golden State vs. (8)New Orleans

Golden State aren't machines. They feed off broken plays and run outs. Make them play in the halfcourt and it's a different game.

 

so much for the great gsw fans, it's quiet as **** in there now

 

I thought Pondexter did a good job on him in game 1. They didn't use that matchup much going with Holiday instead. When there was length on Curry it seemed to really frustrate him; never seen Curry pumpfake so much.

 

AD stands for ALL DAY today... uh oh.

 

AD makes Bogut look so bad

 

Pels were paying aound $11 before tip off.

 

No Asik, no decibels.

 

If Monty Williams has any semblance of a brain, he'll realize that the Pelicans are a thousand times better with Asik glued to the bench

 

When your team has the best player in the series, you can make a series interesting, no matter how much better the better team is. This is why I'm glad the Pels made it instead of a broke down OKC. This is going to be a much better series than people think.

 

They went on their 11-0 run or whatever, with Asik not playing. Matchups are key here, as Bogut isn't exactly a good offensive player.

 

Funny how awful the Warriors look when those jumpers aren't falling. Say what you will about the allegedly one-dimensional Rockets offense, but they can at least post up Dwight(and D-Mo when healthy). When the Warriors were desperate for a bucket and went to Bogut in the post, it resulted in an airball hook shot.

 

I honestly believe if the Pelicans could steal a win here somehow, they will end up 3-1 up with 2 home wins. the Warriors have all the pressure on them

 

I'm probably niave but the pels have a real shot at beating this team. Bogut can't guard Davis, and the pel have some great perimeter defenders.

 

I'm still about 99.7% sure the Warriors win handily, but damn I hope they don't.

 

nah watch this Warriors run about to happen.

 

I just wanna see the Warriors have to compete in the 4th quarter. For all the talk about the Pelicans inexperience, people tend to overlook how young and untested this Warriors squad is. All they've ever done in the postseason was that upset over Denver a couple years ago.

 

if the pels protect the basketball, there ain't going to be a run.

 

The Pelicans can win a game or two against the Warriors. They most certainly cannot win a series.

 

Dang...

 

Of course. F**k the Warriors.
