It's gotta be brand damaging that this is being done to him by an amazing rookie and a Euro.... Both smaller guys. Especially after he had his whole self affirmation thing at that press conference. He is going to age terribly in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I don't know, man, cat got tired of playing with the mouse and it got away for second, that's what it looks like to me. If Warriors show that same level of disinterest in the next round with Curry back, that's different. 2 hours ago, stevemcqueen1 said: It's no surprise to me. All that flashy, flamboyant talent that OKC has could never match the grit and get-it-doneness of a team led by Ricky Rubio and Joe Ingles and Jonas Jerebko and David Stockton. Think I over-estimated OKC more then underestimated Utah. That try hard stuff can only get you so far, but can totally take people out if their opponent doesn't come correct.

Destino Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I underestimated Utah because I thought young inexperienced players weren't reliable in the playoffs. This first round is making me question that belief. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubs threw that game for two reasons. 1) respect for Pop, Manu, Parker, etc... 2) burn a game to get Curry more recovery time after the Pelican sweep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I've never seen a more disinterested great team than this year's Warriors. It's absolutely fascinating, and it makes me think that this team has maybe one more year as currently constructed before they shed everything that is not Curry/Durant and go with a more conventional two star approach moving forward. Year One, they wanted the title. Year two, they wanted the wins record and burned themselves out. Year three, they wanted to erase the taste from failing in Year Two and they had Durant on board. This year, everyone seems to be looking for a reason to get excited. They know they can to the WCF by sleepwalking. And if they reach the Finals, they will be a massive favorite. Their entire season is going to be about one season with Houston, assuming Houston gets there, which they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On flip side, Sixers coach is dense and sounds like a character from Goodfellas, they wouldn't be there (1st time in playoffs and damn near getting a sweep) if it wasn't for the talent they got during the process and their new GM deciding to build around it instead of trying to get more lottery picks. Sixers coach is going to get axed so they can get to next level, its only a matter of time. Edited April 24, 2018 by Renegade7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they feel a lot of pressure to repeat, but the biggest obstacle has been injuries. Injuries took the wind out of their sails and made them mortal in the regular season for the first time in three years. You know all of them have to feel like **** physically, and losing Curry for as long as they did was very deflating. It robbed them of their identity. Even with Durant getting hurt for an extended period of time last season, they were very lucky injury-wise three straight years. We're not used to seeing them deal with adversity, frankly.

CRobi21 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Marcus Smart flops 5 min into his return. Gets the call. Gets praise from the announcers... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I don’t know that I would consider the Warriors lucky injury wise when they basically lost the greatest season ever because Steph wasn’t 100% and Iggy could barely walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) Wow how do they not call the shot clock violation? Ball clearly in Horfords hands. Terrible. That could decide the game! Why is that not reviewable? MIL should be furious! Edited April 25, 2018 by CRobi21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Do Itch Big Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 They didn’t lose in season 2 cause they burned themselves out but because LeBron and Kyrie balled out. Also, that bum Barnes was like 5 of 30 on open looks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a long time since we were in a series where it was like there wasn't a damn thing that could be done. Not since sticks' Dad. Oh well... I'm just glad #3 was back in a Heat jersey. If this is it, you were a true Road Warrior, sir. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I feel bad saying this as a former Bullets diehard, but I like this 76ers team. Obviously if them and the Wizards square off I'm for the Wizards the whole way but this is a fun team to watch. I'd root for them against the Cavs in the ECF for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
