Bro,i believe if not for Scott Brooks..Maybe we (OKC) for don get one ring by now...i maybe wrong tho..
I have been complaining about his coaching since the OKC days but this season is just the nadir. If you look at what Spoelstra and Atkinson are doing with the Heat and Nets compared to what Brooks has. It's bleeding obvious

Attempts is quite different from makes. GS makes more than these teams. When they fail to do so, it's problem for them.



What kind of thinking is this bikonu?

If you miss your shots, you no go lose? grin grin
Ayam not understanding


How can a team rely on 3 ball when there are more teams (7) who shoot more of the 3? Or are they shooting to miss them?


How can a team rely on 3 ball when Bucks and Rockets make more than them? What are those other teams shooting? Free throws behind the arc?

How can a team rely on 3 ball when they have the highest assists on 2 points field goals for the 4th year running as well as 2nd most % in midrange?

How can a team rely on 3 ball when their % of points from behind the arc is less than about 7 teams (33.1%), even less than Atlanta Hawks?



Izzit because of Curry and Klay you're typing this thing? grin

Duke got lucky. On another day they would lose this game. But I have to admire their mental strength and tenacity.

No be wen Warriors sweep everybody for playoff now people go begin count the number of all stars wen dey the team.

The Warriors have set the bar very high when it comes to assembling, coaching and winning. I never under-rate the Warriors no matter their regular season form and if by a rare chance they falter this post season, they have earned my respect for life. They maximized their team resources and gave their fans/supporters enough to cheer for going into the new arena.

We always underestimate how difficult it is to motivate players, particularly superstars who achieved multiple championships in a very short span. Na dis one dey pain my padi Eruditor pass grin

Baba, my own is, I don't want OKC or Spurs in the first round. I have already decommissioned myself from the regular season. Not like I fear both teams but they will stress GSW for a round 1 game.

I still think the regular culprits will make it from the west and east so my money is still on Celts vs GSW. But both teams especially Celts will face slugfests before the finals. They own the Sixers but Bucks and Raptors will be very tough depending on when/if they meet. As for GSW, Rockets still look like the biggest issue but less so than last season.

The presence of Tacko Fall made penetration very difficult for Duke so they relied heavily on perimeter shooting. UCF gave their all to the game and were just u lucky because they deserved to win the game.

On and off the field, Gronk played the game his own way.. I think this is the best decision for him, I won’t be shocked if he tests positive for CTE, the man got a lot of bad hits.

He is still 29, he turns 30 in May. It’s the safest decision for Gronk considering his health. He has suffered multiple injuries and tons of hits. Not too many active tight ends have lasted this long especially for one who runs, blocks and is never afraid of hits.

Over the last 3 seasons, Gronk barely played 60-70% of the regular season games for the Patriots. This is a long term decision for Gronk, he needed to retire in one piece. I read one piece where he said he has not touched a dime from his salary/ earnings since he started playing. He has been living off brand sponsorships, so it’s not even about the money because the man is made.

I think it’s good for Gronk. I just don’t want to see that CTE testing because I am convinced he will test positive.

Get your facts right bro. Their 3pt% is 37.6 and both Hawks and Rockets are on 35%. The Clippers are on 38.3% while Spurs are on 39.7%. Those are the only 2 teams slightly better than GS in the 3pt game. Where do u even get your stats from?
Keep your eyes away from the box score then you can really understand the game. Having Curry and klay on the team at once gives defending teams confusion. But if you shut those 2 out from beyond the arc, or even one of them, then u have a chance.

You need cane...

If you make more of your 3 points and attempt less than the others, does that mean they're reliant on 3 points? Izz dar nor Curry and Klay's problem?

How do you now explain the fact that they have score more 2 pointers and second in midrange than the whole NBA? Shei na 3 pointers be that?

How do you now explain even with their efficiency on 3 pointers, they still make less than 7 teams? Waiting for your analogy...

You're saying this as if they attempt way less than the rest of the teams. Apart from Rockets that attempt 44 per game, Bucks on second attempt 38. GS attempt 34.
And in terms of 3pt made per game, they're 3rd behind Rockers and Bucks only.
To put this into perspective, for GS their 2pt rate per game is 61%, putting them 22nd in the league in terms of 2pointers. Which means they shoot 3s 39% of the time, putting them at 8. You might think 8th is quite low but when u consider that there are 30 teams in the NBA, and also consider their 3pt made per game which is the most important of all the stats concerning 3s, you'll see why I made my comment.

Spurs no doubt, plainly because they got more talent. The Celtics got talent but man for man, I think the Sixer's got this one.

The Celtics own the Sixers. Even the most recent Sixers win felt more like Celtics choking than the other way around. They led that game all through till the last few mins. Trust me when I say, they OWN the sixers.

Saw it coming. He's been mulling on it for a while and would probably have retired last year if Nick Foles didn't happen

Even as a rival fan I have huge respect for the Gronk. One of the few skill players that were willing to do the dirty work for teammates. He dished blocks and took blocks too. It's a pity his body couldn't hold up. Arguably the best ever at his position, definitely the most dominant
