As for the Warriors vs OKC

Transition defence was really what killed them. They have become a little too laissez faire of late. Some of us that knew Golden State those Don Nelson years know what I'm talking about. Draymond Green was also a complete no-factor and it is in games like these that I wonder what is Harrison Barnes's role for the Warriors. I don't know a particular thing he is good at

Basically I expected a tough series. Aside the fact that uneasy wears the crown, OKC played with a hunger I have never seen before. They are a tough match up for the Warriors. People forget the Warriors barely won their games one of which OKC literally threw away. The Warriors don't have an answer for Durant and Westbrook so far. OKC don't have much asides these two guys offensively so I am wondering why a deep team like Golden State are struggling so badly.

SmooshCHN:
What do you guys do during the off season?? How do you cope??

I always feel like crying and watch both conference finals from Game 1 to the NBA finals Game 7..
What do you guys do?? I could use your idea. Thanks
Euros dey this year and tennis too. Plenty things to watch

Ewuro4:
Raptors offence's looking good. Hopefully it stays that way. Still optimistic undecided

Not as bad as I do grin

A40, It's a requirement to support Raptors being my home country's only NBA club. Not a Cav but will die LB's #1 loyal fan.
Lol Biyombo is a beast yo!!!! Some nights one player just has to decide we are not losing this game. Even with the Cavs poor shooting you still have to put yourself in a position to take advantage

The Free-Throw disparity was too much in the first two legs. I no wan talk since but that home cooking too much. The Cavs have been doing most of the whining but the refs have been whistling in their favor a lot. Remains to be seen if JV would be back on time. Would be really nice for the Raps to win and drag this series to 6 or 7 games

And Loool at LeFlop. Flop so hard. He no even know say na him teammate hit am

if you think the warriors can't sweep the blazer like I do,there is no point to this then.

am curious what do you and A40 ?
think about that draymond-Stevens issue.
foul or no foul.
The Warriors can't sweep the Blazers my guy. There would always be ebb and flow in a series and the Blazers in their building can beat anybody. They scored 137 pts against a Warriors team. They would steal a win. Don't use the Hawks as an example. They are a terrible example and their getting swept by the Cavs is a huge indictment on them. They had enough not to go 0-8 for chrissakes

Let me ask you. Which roster has more talent between the Raptors and the Hawks? Since you feel talent is all that matters

It was a flagrant but that's that. I don't agree Draymond should be suspended. He's a troll but I don't think he intentionally wanted to castrate Adams

Bittersweet end of the season for me. I really thought this could be the treble year after getting backup for Robben and Ribery. If Atletico no win that CL e go pain me gaan because we would have blown a chance to avenge for 2014. Hell we already have

I believe the trophy is ours.
The guy's fall from grace has been damning. Will he stay or go remains to be seen

Really looking forward to the Euros. Deutschland all the way

Goetze hurt his rib but should be back for the Euros. Talking about Goetze with Liverpool missing out on CL what happens next? I think we are making the same mistake we made with Kroos before he went to have a big World Cup. Not that he has over balled at Madrid but we surely should have made more money off a 24 year old. Shoulda just extended the ninja even if its for two years. Don't get how we extended Thiago and not Goetze

good for them,
we've seen this before in fact we saw it last season with the bucks a team overAchieve and then they have unrealistic expectations.
its the regular season game the wolves beat the warriors too.
the whole world knows it an advantage,it doesn't matter if the warriors have never lost a back-back,as long as OkC has the possibility of winning on their home court it is an advantage.
OKC dare not have that mindset after two games. If they don't win both games at home they would most likely not win the series

All star game doesnt count.. All they do is just joke on the court. Thats not a serious game.. Mayb the title.. I just checked and I notice wester conf took more rings than the eastern conference.
And its just 2 teams that have been winning the title since 2000, lakers, spur, dallas nd gsw won just once... While eastern had 3 pistons, celtics nd miami, so no much diff... but I dnt think title is a way of know a better conf
Not really but you get an idea of which conference has more talent if you look at the All-star games.

Don't look at the number of teams look at the total. Since 2000

12-4

The same inferior hummels now a new bride , I thought he was in the same category with djilobodji. Now a non-elite defender could play ahead of the best defender in Germany , starting for one of the biggest teams in europe. You need to visit osun osogbo for deliverance.

Though not with Raumdeuter's reckless abandon, but I remember A40 accosted me when i gave a bleak prognosis of Pep's Bayern sojourn. Actually, thinking about those exchanges now, they weren't friendly, heated infact.


DayoKanu is just a fool. When i was telling him that Bayern had plateaued, the mumu was pontificating about how Bayern were about to create a dynasty that would dominate Europe through Pep for centuries to come. He threw caution to the wind. Showed no restraint like the indecorous charlatan he is. It shall not be well with him.

That is the usual braggadocio fans display when a new highly rated manager is hired. No biggie

My main argument was the need to move from a manager who was months shy from his 70th birthday. If Pep says he wants to coach Chelsea you will kill malu

it tells me the bottom half of the west has dropped in quality not this heart wey nobody fit quantify
playing two games in front of your home crowd isn't an advantage to the home team.
why even play for seeding then?
because your guys blew Their chance to go up by two doesn't mean home court advantage is now useless mehn.
blazers beat a curryless warrior twice doesn't mean they won't get swept by a full strength cavs team.
That's how you opt to interpret it. They could have easily decided to tank and play for a lottery ball. They didn't!

They competed and it showed in their record beating both Cleveland and the Warriors at home

You can't be talking about advantage between two equally matched teams like these. Especially when Golden State is involved. They have won at least 1 road game in the past 6 series so I don't see how you can talk of advantage to OKC till they win both games.

Curry played the regular season game where Lillard dropped 51.

If the Blazers can drop 137 pts on the defending champs. Who born Cavs?

Heart ?
Why heart no help the clippers when Blake and cp3 got injured.
So if curry no injure,the blazers go win one game for that series?
Never said it was surprised but if the hawks can't beat the cavs once in the post season it isn't the blazers that will do it.
Who has the homecourt advantage now? Between the thunder and the warriors.
Because they lacked it. The Blazers lost 4 of their starters this year. 4!!

They still made the playoffs anyway so that tells you they have heart

Yes. There is nothing suggesting the Blazers wouldn't win at least 1 game. Abi na all the games Curry play Warriors dey win?

Blazers will beat the Cavs at least once. If they could beat the Warriors they would beat the Cavs

Lool OKC don't have any advantage if they don't win both games. Asking who has any advantage after Game 2 is premature

I find it difficult to believe that your list doesn't mean anything( at least to you )

The fact that you took the time to list FOUR full team configurations clearly suggests that you were looking at the whole picture ..

If BoasTANK is not a regular in FOUR different permutations that you came up with, it strongly suggests that you think BoasTANK is the disposable pawn there..maybe at a subconscious level
That was 3 lists that took me less than 2 mins to compile. You can see I did not even include certain players altogether including the boy we bought from Benfica.

If I didn't put Javi at CB at all e for be complain. I put Hummels there it is still complaints. It was mostly copy and paste and if you look closely you would see

Boateng is not disposable. If he was we wouldn't extend him till 2021. Its a list of hypothetical lineups that y'all are just paying unnecessary attention to tbh

Yo A40,

How many pieces do you think the Blazers should add to become a real contender.... I think the lineup is good... Just have to get a better small forward. That core is really great.

Magic is going to be good this year, i honestly see them making the playoffs with Vogel at the helms of the affairs. Honestly, Larry Bird played himself lol. I hope oladipo gets some shine. cool
They need a bench contributor and a Power forward or center that can alter shots at the rim. The bench to take the scoring load off Lillard

Atlanta is way better than the blazers that sort of surprised everybody. The cavs swept Atlanta.

Blazers was suppose to be cannon fodder,if not for the unhealthy clippers,There is no way that team wins one in Cleveland.

You forget the spurs dropped one first. OKC has the advantage now.
The Cavs are not sweeping the Blazers bone that thing. Talent is not everything. Heart counts too. And the Blazers will beat any team at home. Go and ask the Cavs what they saw there in the regular season

They swept the Hawks last year without Kevin Love so I don't know where the surprise is coming from

OKC has no advantage unless they win both games at Chesapeake

But your list suggests that Javi-Hummels is your preferred centre back Pairing...


And I think Airmark caught you there. cheesy
My list does not suggest anything. If the he-goat was following the trail of the discussion the emphasis was trying to fit in Goetze into a hypothetical lineup, But like the scavenging egret Airmark is he chose to focus on irrelevancies. The nailed on starters for Bayern are surely Boateng and Hummels. Arguing on the merits and demerits is literally a waste of time. Hummels and Javi are not even a good matchup if you analyse their styles critically as both of them struggle with pace

Benatia his new found favorite defender did not even make any of the lineups I'm surprised he didn't wail about that

The Cavs should actually be worried that they have not faced any adversity. When everything is going so smoothly and you are yet to be tested it is not a good sign. There are numerous weaknesses with that team that the opposition just haven't been good enough to exploit

Eruditor:
A40 and Ramdeuter

Sure the 4-0 loss was scandalous but 3 of the goals came from set-pieces. Sergio Ramos scored twice in the space of 4 mins from 2 Di Maria free kicks and Bayern immediately needed 4 goals to win the tie. Tall task, but your criticism is not misplaced.
One from a corner actually. The first goal. And if you look at how we played in the buildup to the goal. That's not what you expect from a defending champion. What's worse most of us saw it coming in the previous round but not in that magnitude

Eruditor:
Of course, he should have made 1 final at Bayern. Such are the standards only he is judged by. Every other thing becomes academic or sentimental when it comes to the others that are supposedly better than him.
I think if you call yourself an elite coach you have to hold yourself to that standard. Truth be told I would hold any other would-be elite coach to that standard. Jupp got to two finals and only lost one on penalties

Most people tag Mourinho's spell at Madrid a failure so I'm confused as to why Guardiola is being flogged with a different stick

Eruditor:
At the end of the day, he will be the most successful underachiever. And that in itself may not be a bad thing. The only man who keeps being encouraged to change his tactics when in 7 years of coaching he has averaged a 70% win rate, even 80% in Munich.
I think you have to look at the squad. To whom much is given much is expected. He's a very good coach no question about it and having an elite team is no guarantee of success but so much more could have been achieved with this team.

Eruditor:
I guess the point is: why are his "great" flaws only brought up when he loses a game especially when he rarely loses games? The English word for it is nitpicking.

I'd rather have a formula that works most times. I guess most of the people who criticise how high the defence line is, don't recall they were always high during 100% of his wins- 82/102 in Germany alone.

Oh well, successful failure.
Maybe its nitpicking but he failed to realize what worked in the league might not work in Europe. We got to 3 straight semis and did not score an away goal. That is a mediocre record. You can't also wish away the fact that he failed every test he faced against equally matched or slightly superior opposition.
