Can we not bring Jordan's name up? No player in this era is worth mentioning his name along wit.

Pre Game Forecast;

Curry to have at least 28p from at least 4 3pointers, at least 2 3pointers in 1st Q


Durant to have at least 25p with at least 7 rebs


Ibaka with less than 14p


Keep in mind the foul situation can greatly tip the scales

If OKC gets caught too many times being over aggressive on the pick and roll defenses, things can change, I'd look for them to stay aggressive on the interior screening but be careful on the perimeter until they can gauge how the ref will call the game. Regardless, OKC has proven that if they can wear down Curry's legs early on with aggressive defense, his shot can falter late, the key is his legs, no legs no shots!

I also would look for ibaka to have a lot of scoring opportunities in the 1st half. The Ibaka_Roberson inversion tactic worked brilliantly in game 4, and GSW can't afford to give Robes so many shots at the rim, plays involving Ibaka in the corner will/ should be frequent early on


Prediction: GSW win

Deandre over KD!!!! Nba is bleeped up. Meanwhile congrats to king james on his 10th nba all first team, im not even biased here and haters are always going to hate. Think about it, this is being named one of the 5 best players in your sport for at
least the 10th time... and he's not even done. If Curry's threes aren't falling, can he play every position, rebound, and pass better than any point guard? The guy isn't Michael jordan or Magic Johnson, he's a freak mix of both
You really have to stop mentioning Curry when giving props to James, like stop comparing everytime. Give yourself a break. No one even argues who's the better player among them. First and foremost They play different positions, different body builds, different Heights. No one is going to remember James Shooting 3s and Curry power driving to the Basket. They rule every current player in their respective positions today. So Just enjoy the greatness from both players. the only problem is today they are sharing the spotlight and you can't change that. Your constant comparison won't change that either. Cos in the next 20yrs everyone would be talking about KD, Westbrook, James, Curry, CP3 and the likes.
2 Guards, 2 forwards (Small Forward, Power Forward) and 1 Center. That's how an nba game is played. Either LeBron or Kawhi comes off for KD.. I think the later two were picked cos they play 2 way basketball well.. I'd pick Cousins over Andre Jordan though.

But you still have to compare him to James at the end of the day. Don't bother. Let's forget.. I like James consistency BTW..

Come!!! Anyone notice this boy Tristan Thompson. He played his 320 consecutive match.. His last missed game was in 2012. I wish all nba players could be that healthy. How would the league be without Injuries? That's just something else.

Wow! draymond green also is very healthy. P.s Warriors are playing OK.. Well better than last two games smiley
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:03am On May 27, 2016
Green still has a lot of defense to play and Bogut need to be present on every offensive rebound..

Yes.. I know. I think the body build has a lot to do with that and a bit of luck.. I'm saying If injuries would just go away that'll be nice smiley

I kinda miss David Lee cry He would have been a solid factor! Who is Draymond's replacement? Barnes must be booted out after this season angry
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:21am On May 27, 2016
These silly refs have started with the horrible calls.. Durant here flopping too undecided and not calling fouls
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:35am On May 27, 2016
Bogut and Thompson really holding it down for the Warriors
OKC hanging in there. They want to close this tonight boy
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:38am On May 27, 2016
You have 4-2 advantage on fastbrake and still go back for a 3 undecided If not for Green.
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 3:46am On May 27, 2016
OKC out here flopping big time.. And these silly refs won't hesitate to give the whistle away

Credit "Black Mamba" Kobe for texting Draymond and talking to him. Wires where in the right areas in his head this game. Careless 3Q by MVP Curry almost let it slip with some carless Turnovers but stability was re-established.

This is an argument again for who wanted it more. The only difference between this game and the blow out losses was attitude.

The playoffs is truly about adjustments and strategy. I am convinced that if KD can get into foul trouble early on in game 6 GSW can steal a win. To beat OKC one just has to make sure the 2 superstars don't play well.

The bench did the job for GSW today. I could have taken a half-point win. Just like Curry said, GSW have to go to Chesapeake and play the game of their lives. It will really be difficult but not impossible.

I still believe.

That Bini boy has been powerless to stop Durant so far.

OKC didn't play their best yet they could have stolen this game. That missed 3 by Durant late and two key defensive plays by Curry.

If the Warriors want to steal Game 6. Chef and Klay need to cook early. Chasing an elimination game early on the road is a recipe for blowouts
Re: The NBA Begins by SmooshCHN: 5:15am On May 27, 2016
Mood.. All we need is the same Attitude. And Being Careful.. We can do it.. cheesy

Re: The NBA Begins by drinkmorewater: 7:20am On May 27, 2016
It was a good game, for the neutrals, but really OKC should've somewhat closed this game 5, they just couldn't buy a bucket in the first Q and then screwed up by allowing that 8-0 in the beginning of the fourth

Also GSW need to clean up on their dumb mistakes and give Bogut the ball more in the post for crying out loud!


The refreeing though... Lol
