Man, man is destroying a whole blazers.

Thing looks like he is playing easy against C.P.U.

Game was so easy, i turned it off and i am about to play 2K16
Braah it was like NBA Jam that year

He is a very bad man.

The Varejao, Henderson incident. Hilarious

They need Curry. Even if not for this series over 7 games but they definitely need him. There is something lacking when he isn't there. I can't explain it.

Klay is a big scorer and a defensive asset but Curry's distribution makes his game easier. With Curry today, this game would have been a blow out.

I was worried that the GSW bench kept getting outscored by the Blazers bench. Didn't set a good precedence all game but GSW played very good defence on Colum and Lilliard (only spotting them difficult shots).

I know many will praise Klay and Green for today, but my player of the game was Bogut. He is an absolute rim protector.

I suspect game 2 may be closer if Warriors bench do not deliver. I don't see Blazers beating GSW over 7 games. So I am calling it in 5 or 6 because GSW won't lose back to back games.

If Curry got to the stripe as often as others, he would make 36ppg too. Remember, he's the only guy in NBA history to drop 50+pts with only one free throw

And the warriors desperately need curry in game 3. Rip City handed them their largest defeat this season and I have a funny feeling Blazers will steal game 2 at the bay area.
Not those Blazers I saw tonight. Stranger things have happened but its very unlikely. Barring an injury I don't think it is possible

Roland17:
Question everyone..

IS KLAY THOMPSON A FRANCHISE PLAYER?
Yes. Even Harden that was a third wheel with OKC is now a franchise player. How much more Klay?
Re: The NBA Begins by Eruditor: 11:41pm On May 01, 2016
In other news disappointed for the Hornets. That game 6 they blew came back to haunt them. The east is looking too easy for Cavs even though all games against the Pistons were close.

The game was a blowout. Don't let the Final score confuse you.

They will need him vs the Spurs. Not these guys. Remember Iggy and Livingston didn't even play well

Honestly were you expecting hornet to win that series against the Heat, yeah hear fumbled in game 5, but it was just a slip, I original stand with Miami winning the series in 5, but they shoot themselves in the foot, a great game today for the heat, 'twas a blowout thanks to dragic and whiteside

You are right. I was just angry that the bench kept letting Blazers pad their scores. At 24points I wanted it to remain that way. That 137-105 of February still gives me nightmares. I want Blazers to understand who they're playing. grin

Exactly at Livingston! He wasn't his characteristic post-up self. And saw him turnover atleast twice.

I expected a Heats sweep or at most 4-2. After Hornets led 3-2 into game 6, I thought it was done. I guess they figured how to quench the fire of Lin off the bench. They didn't let him make easy lay-ups at all.

Can you emphasize more on that highlighted part? I disagree on that.

Have you watched his Davidson days? He consistently improved season by season...

He came from a family that needed to prove something in the NBA not bench players. His hardwork got him to where he was

Scouts botched him cos they said "His shot selection was a detriment". He took 60% of his shots outside the arc and he's coming to a league where the shooting arc is pushed back. What did he do? He broke his 3 point record THRICE!!!

NBA said in 2009 that he's more of a shooting guard than a point guard. What did he do? He averaged 8.6 assists and led the NBA in secondary assists

With talent, your stats are always there, not improving tremendously but always showing you're elite. But with hardwork, season by season displays a rise in your effort to be the best. Durant, Irving, Klay got the talents flowing through them. Leonard, Curry, Isaiah Thomas, etc worked their ass to being the best of the bunch.

You have to pace yourself. This is why I always laugh when people say the Warriors don't have a good defense

DeRozan needed 32 shots to score 30pts. Lol

Walton to the Lakers. Smart pickup if you ask me

we beat mavs in round 1, clips in round 2. if we beat gsw in WCF, we would be in the finals no?

I'm a little skeptical on Walton - I think GSW won while he was coach just because the system was already in place. Remember that this is a 73-win team. Lets see sha...but I will not be surprised if he is just OK

wow you're really confident Heat will beat us? With Pacers owner in the front row during game 6, and George in his A game, how could Raptors possibly think they could win that game? won all my bet against Raptors that night.
Heat fumbled too and dragged the game to 7 even with Bosh and Wade combo. Lol. Anyway, we'll see bout that.
DeRozan's offence was a flaw in last 2 games, dude needs to toughen up. Speak of tough, Cory Joseph's killing it. Defence, offence, great shots, he's great.

happy for Dwane Casey.

I see why my point was misunderstood,
I think harden game is alright.

Harden is a super star for sure. And he is stronger than he looks, which would be useful whenever he decides he wants to defend

I am confident because of what I saw in this series. Your best player is DeRozan theirs is Wade. The difference is clear

Lol Bosh didn't play all through the series. Charlotte are a much more better team than Indy.

DeRozan relies mostly on drives to the basket and long inefficient two's. He is just too inefficient offensively

You said 1 more game. Shoulda been 1 more series

I am not skeptical about Walton. He will not get them to the playoffs but they would win more than 16 games and play much better than Byron Scott. He did an excellent job with the Warriors. It takes a good coach to improve on a team that won 67 the previous year
