We need as many bodies as we can get for that guy.

Eruditor:
LOL.

Bucks and Rockets are 2 teams I fear for different reasons. Rockets because the NBA cheat for them or fall for their antics. Bucks because they have an unstoppable player in Giannis.

If KD is out, i predict, Curry will get at least 10 free throws in game 6, he will become the driver, and all fouls will become glaring. The guy gets fouled all day while doing his runs. Did you realize when Curry was driving in the 4th, a lot of guys were wide open for threes, draymond green and Jerebko especially.

Eruditor:
If Curry is on his level. They can't stop him. They have not even stopped him in this series. He has just not been himself.

Chuck just said we can't beat either the nuggets or the Blazers without Durant. I bet we will even without Durant, the teams he supports always lose.

True, but if the splash brothers can fire on all cylinders, the bench might not matter that much. But seriously, the refs almost cost us. Draymond green was a foul away from missing a game. But he is reckless sometimes, that knee nudge at chris paul was intentional and unnecessary.

Eruditor:
We would just go back to 2015/16 Warriors. Only this time without a bench.

Yes just for this series, that might just be enough to put the rockets away.

Eruditor:

Although i hope it's not a serious injury, i would like to see what the splash brothers can do without him, they seemed to click in the 4th. Let's see what they can do together for an entire game. Giving the similarities in shooting style, they can feed off each other without any interruption.

Eruditor:
We can survive without KD if they don't cheat. I know some people will not agree but we kinda looked better without him. KD is the best player on the team but he is more like a bail-out player. Someone who helps you when plan A fails. When he is plan A, we seldom win. In fact, most of his 50 pt game performances came in games we lost.

There was more spacing with him out and somehow our panic instincts set in and we looked more controlled.

I am starting to think, that might be better. Let's have Curry start as the driver with no other dominant offensive weapon, so he can get his rythm early

Hardetayour:
I'll take any type of win at this point. The refs are ludicrous. Watch them favour the Rockets at home and we'll be playing without KD (maybe)

Man, what's the problem with supporting Golden State, are we not allowed to associate with success any longer. I have always loved small guys doing great things in the game of big guys. And you call GSW fans shameless for what?

KarnThornheart:
LMAO! Another one? Seems this thread actually is a Warrior fan thread. SMH Shameless the lot of you!

Well on the fouls, we know the referees won't make those calls, they are someohow contributing to keeping him out of rythm. the guy gets bumped a lot when he drives. it's a crime to be smallish(hehehe), perhaps the referees assume he falls because he is smallish. I hope he responds in kind, on tuesday morning.

Eruditor:
Everything you have said is meaningful. Curry dey always get games like this here and there. I can never doubt him. He will respond. As bad as we played yesterday, na 5pts in OT we lose by. Imagine how it will be when we actually play well.

Size does matter in the playoffs etc, and I don't complain about the physicality of the games except that they call a lot of ticky tacky fouls on Curry. I am not referring to yesterday but that is the case. He has been playing like he is out of rhythm.

The Claw is playing at an insane level this playoffs. That series just began. I am waiting for skip on monday, his best center got 11 points tonight. Can't they ever hold a discussion without "if". I would probably put Kawhi up there at the "best player in the world category" with KD, the guy is fucking efficient too. Meanwhile, what the hell is happening to my favourite player, Curry, this post season, "se won ro efo fun ni". I rebuke every Baketball god, that is sitting on Curry's matter. Eruditor, the thing dey pain me no be small. As A40, will say , our guy is doing nothing more than putting out "poverty numbers", by his standards. On a more serious note i am beginning to think, size and length generally does matter in the playoffs.

Ok first half, but too many turnovers

Man, the just had a finger injury, i just hope he can feed off that home cheer

SmooshCHN:
8TOs.. We can do better. Curry better start hitting those shots.

Oh boy gettıng roasted

Why does Max always place his bet on the wrong team and players. Always drawing the wrong conclusions , despite his seemingly sophisticated understanding of analytics.

Unstoppable my ass. A butterfly thinks himself a bird. I just don't think Embiid and Giannis have that extra drive to will a team to victory while the furnace is flaming blue. I can't believe the Bucks just got blown out on their home court.

Just happy this is is going to be a series. I see say you dey smile now

Roland17:
Catch him high before he sets the dribble to force the half court offense, seal the horizontal driving lane with bodies lined up vertically at the top, double at the baseline with active hands, rotate bodies and set staggered screens on the offense to find the open man.

Brad Stevens knows how to coach a basketball game.

I enjoy how the celtics clog the lanes(throwing bodies) against Giannis while daring other guys to show up.

I thought everyone assumes Giannis is unstoppable. Why is he taking 3 after 3, drive boy!

Giannis is another regular season monster in my opinion, until he proves otherwise i don't trust him to deliver when the heat is hottest. Already down 20 points.

shut the Bleep up. how much does newell have, who told you they were taking care of his bills, so a boy cannot choose to be wealthy again. Newell Boys do not even contend in the Argentinian top flight Instead of being overly obsessed with ronaldo, i urge you to channel the same to advancing your life. Everything in moderation ma guy.

cr7lomo:
U mentioned players that u can justify their loyalty , just like Pele...they played for the clubs of their birth... their home teams... Those players u mentioned were not external players...they all played for clubs situated in their country of birth...messi should hv nationalised...y dint he stick with Newell's old boys ?? After all they were taking care of his medical bills b4 Barca came calling

Man, bros which school you go, you go school at all self. Loyalty to Barcelona not spain. What has spain got to to with this. And the man is his own man, so the resolution of deiding the extent of loyalty is entirely his choice. Who are you to decide how much loyalty is necessary. You obviously are a Cr7 fan, and you can suck his dick for all i care.

cr7lomo:
If he was so loyal as u claim...y dint he play for Spain, since it was Spain that treated him...stop deceiving urself...messi is a false prophet...

Are you fucking kidding me, so you be jinn now? How do you know he is scared, you seem to have forgotten how Barcelona helped him surmount his health issues. I don't think you think before writing. Do people not adopt homes away from their origin. The guy guy has been at Barcelona since he was 13, how long do you have to stay somewhere before you can call it home? Cancelled among the greats? His legacy is set,man. I urge you to think deeply before putting forward any argument.

cr7lomo:
Using loyalty as an excuse.... Is he Spaniard?? His loyalty should start at home first ...what has he don for the national team... The guy is scared of trading cos if he flops, he will b cancelled amongst the greats

What the hell, do you not know what loyalty is. You seem to have modified the definition of the GOAT to better suit your player. What as jumping form one ship to another got ot do with GOAT

cr7lomo:
How can u call someone that is in one league and has refused to leave the greatest...u think it's easy to shine in another league...when Rivaldo left Barca, he joined Milan, and that was when Milan was Milan but he flopped ... when kaka left Milan , he joined Madrid and he flopped , when figo left the Spanish league and joined the Italian league, he flopped...when Beckham left man u and joined Madrid he dint live up to expectation... When ronaldinho left Barca for Milan , he flopped.... Bale is turning to a disaster in Spain unlike in England...di Maria was a waste in England... Sebastian veron was a disaster when he left Italy for England, so as shevchenko... So u can't guarantee that messi will excel in another league , messi can't excel in the national team ... Messi in the WC has only scored teams like Bosnia, Iran and Nigeria( half of his WC goals) ....but Ronaldo has excelled in 3diff league and has turned top scorer for these teams for over a decade

Honestly, i thought that was low, he is also generally loose with words. I don't blame Simmons for laughing during the post conference,his choice of words was both condescension and a mockery. I have always suspected the guy na "ebu" though, losing his spark when an opposition comparable in length, size and will matches up. But one thing is certain about Embiid, if he can torch any player, he usually does scorch, but if he cannot, na to "ka" like "ede"

A40:
The UFC elbow on Allen in the last round and then instead of apologizing was laughing at Allen in the post game Conference. And then the absolute nadir for me was when he called Jared Dudley a nobody. There comes a point when you move from entertaining to a flat out jackass

Hahahaha, the guy talks too much, he has met his match. The guy don fold. To even think a spanish is doing this to him.

A40:
Lmaooo don't mind that Eediot. I'm low-key happy he is stinking up the joint after his rubbish behavior against the Nets. He don jam him size in Gasol he's now shooting poverty numbers.

People were even claiming he was the best player in this series. Turns out he might not even be the best Cameroonian

Honestly, i think if the Raptors can come out of the east, irrespective of what happens against GSW(if we do get out, too)-although i think it will last for at least 6 games-Kawhi should stay. He has a second legit star in Siakam

Roland17:
I don’t think we will know the entirety of the Kawhi story with the Spurs because Kawhi has remained silent for the most part and Pop has done same. I feel like there are some unknowns that may come out when all is said and done. But you are right, his family made the situation more difficult than it should have been.

Kawhi was growing into his own, and coach Pop has always been known as the alpha of that team, i guess Kawhi's family just want Kawhi to be in charge, although, it's hard to tell if he wanted that.

Roland17:
I have never ever questioned the Claw. I had a problem with how he left San Antonio but I always knew that a healthy Kawhi is virtually unstoppable on both ends.

Although i am a GSW fan, Kawhi is the only guy i believe can knock the GSW off their pedestal. Giannis, has not proven himself, so we might have to wait.

Roland17:
2 or 3 seasons ago, I am not sure but on this thread I was arguing with some handles that Kawhi is already going to HOF and I am watching now and wondering why I bothered indulging that argument in the first place.
If the the Raptors make it to the finals, it would difficult to rule out a team with Kawhi.

Including his strength, the guy just has a favourable combination of qualities. He is a towering offence, but his efficiency just makes his offence overrated.

A40:
Perkins was dropping comparisons with him and the GOAT the other day and people kind of misunderstood him but if you look really well you would see some similarities. Apart from his ability to move at his own pace at all times, he is also able to get to his sweet spots regardless of which defender is on him.

I don't know how people watch guys like these and talk about James Harden being the most unstoppable offensive force

Kawhi leonard is machine
