Cohesive team play isn't a knock against hockey for me, and individual stardom isn't why I like basketball. Teams that are dominated by one player putting on a show are the boring ones in the NBA. The good teams are more fun to watch. I kind of like the NBA cause I can get those once in a blue moon takeovers/ performances. As a layman its fun to watch every once in a while.

You didn't? 😮 In the end I'll say this for Westbrook too who shoots like 3 for 19 The only stat that matters is the W That's it. Not pts or assists. Just win.

Just saying it’s nice when the stars play more than half the game. also, I was put on this earth to say something negative about hockey every time I see it or hear it brought up. That is my directive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a layman its fun to watch every once in a while. It just reminds me of playing youth basketball with kids who were really good but hogged the ball and how boring that was. It was always more fun to play with teammates who were about the same as you and everyone passed the ball around and shot it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even fair to call them a ****. Women's soccer players don't flop. I'm guessing WNBA players don't. Why is it so accepted in sports? Soccer obviously the worst. Basketball close behind. Football players flop. It's ridiculous. Outlaw it. Treat it like steroids in MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the Dubs lead the league in assists per game this year...and generally have been near or at the top in league leaders in the Curry days, it's also a really ignorant comment.

Dr. Do Itch Big Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I swear Ix and Casuals think the Warriors are the Mike D and harden rockets. The teams are completely different. do y’all realize how many 4th quarters Curry has sat out when he was hotter than July? same with Klay. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Now that the Knicks have lost, lets take a moment to appreciate Clint Capela’s words from yesterday. He told the Knicks how it is and what was coming. Quote Capela said those moves and the Knicks' style of play don't make them a physical team. "I don't know if they're physical, but they are trying to play physical," Capela said. "I feel like if they were really physical, I think we'd have more problems than what we have." "They are trying to play tough, push our guys around and talk s---," Capela said. "But we can do that too. We showed them as soon as we came back here that we can do that too. We can push guys around too. We can talk s--- as well, so what you gonna do about it? Oh, and we can get a win with it. So what you gonna do about it? "Oh, Game 4, you're coming back again, well it's going to happen again. We win the game, we talk s--- and we push around. So what you gonna do about it? That's what happened. We can do it too. We can be physical but we can win games as well. "Now we're coming to your home to win this game again and send you on vacation." https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/31547541/atlanta-hawks-center-clint-capela-not-impressed-new-york-knicks-physical-play That’s quality **** talk. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 The Warriors' motto is strength in numbers. I'm not a big fan of bad three ball chucking, which they certainly did a lot of, but aside from that, they played San Antonio style peak team ball. That's what made them so compelling until Durant signed there and they got un-fun and inevitable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are super reliant on Trae Young to keep the offense flowing, and he's pretty slight. But they have so much length, athleticism, and talent in their front court. They have the bodies to throw at Embiid if he plays next series. Especially a hobbled Embiid. And they are super young and are far from hitting their ceiling. I see them as having built the ideal balance of forward and big man talent around a dynamic lead guard. It's what I wish the Wizards had been able to do after they had drafted Wall or Beal. It kind of feels like Travis Schlenk recreated his magic from Golden State and we're a year or two away from them making a major leap. They're a young team but they don't necessarily act like one, they've got that mixture of focus and swagger that the really good teams get.
