Kosher Ham Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Who is the great young player? Clarkson? No one wants to play with Kobe. Randle would be that player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Bruh, when GS plays like they did tonight, just send them the Larry O'Brien trophy. 3 Day Select Brilliant defensive strategy the Dubs used in that game. Warriors put in a defense that made Tony Allen a huge liability on offense. Instead of matching up a guard or forward on Allen, they put center Andrew Bogut on Allen, with Draymond guarding Gasol and Barnes on Zbo. But they had Bogut drop off to the baseline to double Gasol or ZBo in the post every single time either of them got the ball. This left Allen as the open option, but he couldn't hit the open outside shots. And when Allen tried to drive, the paint already was clogged by several guys, including Bogut. So the Grizzlies had to bench Allen for someone who could hit an outside shot (whereupon the Warriors went back to their ordinary defense, which switches rather than doubles). Tony Allen only played 15 minutes, which gave Steph and Klay a lot more room to work. I bet Memphis will have a counter strategy by the next game, but for this game, every time Allen was in it meant they were going 4 on 5 on offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 And people say coaching is over rated.... Ok so maybe it is in Cleveland, but it's fun to watch the coaches try to counter eachother in the other series match ups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so maybe it is in Cleveland, but it's fun to watch the coaches try to counter eachother in the other series match ups. Thats why I love playoff basketball. Everyone knows what you're doing. It's always the subtle little nuances and adjustments that go a long way in determining how things ultimately play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The Warriors are amazing. It's going to be them or the Clippers. Nobody in the East is close to as good as them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Until the Grizz beat them next game. There are 3 entertaining series' going on. Pretty evenly matched. It is a good series and Memphis is giving them about all they want to handle. They are a playoff proven team. A lot of people were saying that there was a top tier of three teams in the West going into the playoffs: GS, SA, and LAC. I think Memphis is demonstrating they belong as the fourth team in that tier. Their early season success wasn't a fluke. All that said, I don't think they have the horses to beat GS. The Warriors are just too balanced and well coached. Seeing how well the Clippers and Warriors are playing, it's pretty outrageous that one of the fraudulent teams in the East is going to make it farther than one of them. The NBA needs an open seeding. If they had that this year, an East team wouldn't have even cracked the final four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 It's just always scary for a jumpshot thriving team like GS in the postseason.

Going Commando Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 See ATL Hawks. Even tho their perimeter D is abominable. GSW is usually stout defensively Golden State is a different animal from the Hawks. They've got two star scorers that can put the ball on the ground and score at will, Atlanta doesn't.

The Evil Genius Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Memphis is the neighborhood bully with the glass jaw. They're awesome if they push you around. You hit them in the mouth just as hard, they fall down and never get up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is usually whether your offense is sophisticated enough to get open, high percentage looks, rather than contested heroball shots. If it can do that, the shots usually start falling.

If anything he was always active around the basket, and was sure to make a few tip ins per game, or a handful of good cutting passes. Now, he has been dreadful at everything basketball related.
