Shame no even catch to come out. We can judge your takes without you reminding us you are a GSW fan for the umpteenth time. Such genius takes you've got man.

etidy:
Talk about quoting people out of context but whatever works for you guys. I am a big warriors fan but I am objective enough to acknowledge a problem when I see it.

If my explanations weren't clear enough I don't think there is a point going over it again.

Any slow decent big is able to cover Luka well. Bjelica is doing ok too.

I pity him. He thinks he's 23 so it's ok. Before you realize you are 30 and you are still yet to get a ring. The way he's playing right now, he'll need at least a borderline Superstar to win. otherwise, he'll be another Harden, but over a longer period of time.

donlittle25:
you know say that guy just like to they yarn dust

I don’t even get it, the guys were able to bring it to like 10 points, he came in and lost the ball twice and decided he won’t run back on defense.

And then jordan poole was targeting him and blew by.

lead back to 18.

i get things won’t go your way all the time but you can’t sulk every time.

Don't talk about the man like that. He's done in 4 years what Dirk was unable to do in 10. Give the man some respect.

donlittle25:
Doncic not playing defense to prove a point to who? The refs?

Abeg ooo, i no mean am like that ooo. .

donlittle25:
That "Shut up and learn" by benji93 sounded like the shut up and play people post when talking to athletes. I spat out my medication when i saw it

. Lebron fans en. This is not a GOAT debate. You have a lot of learning to do yourself. Here we are comparing the 17th greatest player of all time and the 'still to be determined' greatest player of all time.

steady986:
OK finals appearance is now an achievement. Noted.

Ofcourse Trae Young achieved in 3 years what Tony Parker couldn't in 18.

Android22:
Has Trae Young not done more than Tony Parker abi he has a bigger bag than Tony Parker?

Let's hope he learns.

A40:
Don't mind him. He always has a relentless need to be right.

Instead of just agreeing he phrased his words poorly due to exuberance and zealousness. He found himself in a hole and kept digging. Listing individual accomplishments as proof he had done more for the Mavs

Shut up and learn. The point is you said never achieved in 10 years what Luka has achieved in 4. He got to the finals in 2006 and lost 4-2. I can only beat what's in front of me. Luka is yet to get to the finals. Very very simple fact. You rate a guy just based on his individual performance? How much a guy has to work with is quite subjective, especially when the players in question are not stars. No player on Dirk's team was even an all-star in 2006, and yet he got to the finals.

Khanben:
I don't rate basketball players like you guys. I rate a guy based on his individual performances. I will never look at Bird, Kobe, Duncan and Magic to name a few and use them as the baseline for players. These guys walked into a situation, some with multiple top 50 guys of all time on their team already and people like you use them as a baseline to judge players.
I rate a players performance based on what he has to work with in terms of teammates,and will continue to do so.

Just don't complain when we start shooting stray bullets at the man. . Lebron fans are not that different after all. Very artful at creating hypotheticals. If If If. Coulda Woulda. He did not, and that's the fact.

steady986:
Congrats to the GOAT LeBron James for making his 18th all-NBA selection. That's no small feat at 37 years. He definitely would have made 1st or 2nd team if he didn't have a shitty team. We go again next year.

See I will give you one piece of advice. When someone counters your 'coins argument' with facts, first admit that you got it wrong, then introduce another argument. . Very simple. Stay on point.

Khanben:
I have not seen Luka play with a talent like Jerry Stackhouse or Jason Terry. Or are you going to say that any of his teammates so far are as good as any of those guys.
Dude just got him 3rd first team all-nba nod in 4years at the stacked guard position.

What are you talking about? At the time Man Utd fans were telling us he groomed Tuchel and Klopp. He would come in and undo the damage Ole's cluelessness caused. What a bunch of clueless people.

Expert17:
@bolded, that's my point.

The players are useless. Agreed.

What has Rauf done so far in his 30+ years coaching??

I don't understand why in a 2 on 1, you go for a 3-point shot, argues one, after Herro bricks a 3.

Good point. He certainly forgot the era.

But well Herro is a knockdown 3-point shooter, argues another(maybe Mark Jackson here)

Actually i like say you forward. I love this banter. Continue.

Thanos:
Egbon, be calming down. Na me f.. up sha. We know as una quiet for half time. Una dey come dallas na. All those yeye refs wey just dey allow Draymond dey shout anyhow for their face go soon end. Mavs in 6

You better just shut up and watch the game. GSW was down by 19, and still managed to beat you by almost 10. I suppose your adjustments were not good enough today.

Thanos:
On to dallas. It's o news that our interior defense is shit due to the lack of a serviceable center. Maxi kleber scored all his points against the Jazz and forgot how to shoot. Dinwidie who is our x factor was none existent. No worries. Adjustments are coming in dallas . Baby Goat will figure it out. Time to win the next 4 games. 2-0 down. We have them right where we want them. Mavs in 6.

Why you dey worry yourself?

A40:
Are you smoking meth. Or how do we explain this kind of hallucination. Even Roland wey be Celtics fan cannot claim he hypes Jayson Tatum on this thread more than me.

I spot them from day 1 goofy

Calm down, Series just start. . But the bolded though.

Thanos:
I'm not bothered one bit. Once I saw them miss 3 straight open 3's, I knew it was one of those games. I am not going 11-43 and GSW will not be shooting almost 60% throughout this series. If they want a three point contest, they'll get a three point contest. After one game, they are already hyping looney. You seem to forget that doncic specializes in playing bigs off the floor. That man would become a bench warmer from game 3. Same initial gra gra wey phoenix carry come. I love the way curry was hitting the griddy when making his threes. Make them keep that same energy. Mavs in 6.

Why this place silent like this?

Almost every football fan saw Messi and knew. Similarly, most people here have always known Doncic would turn out great. No be news. . The koko be say, keep this same energy when they get crushed. Also you are a MAVs fan, your belief that you will win is understandable.

Thanos:
I remember watching a young messi and telling people that when all is said and done, he would be the best to ever do it. People doubted. I can tell you've not watched this kid consistently. No worry. Him go convert all of una one by one. Make him just notch that first championship first.

Series never even start.

Thanos:
Still doubting? You folks never learn. Once they step on the hardwood, the best player in that series is luka. And he is going to cook them so bad, GSW will break the team up. Mavs in 6

Nobody does, but someone who has shot 40% for most of his career has earned the right to shoot plenty, spam, whatever you want to call it.

steady986:
Who decides how many threes should be taken in a game of basketball?

No, spamming as applied means unnecessarily plenty.

steady986:
Lmao. Bros, I know what I said. Maybe na you no read am well. To spam threes means to take plenty of them.

I don't know why you replied. This person either doesn't know what spamming means abi he just feels the need to throw Steph Curry into his argument. Steph Curry is fast becoming a constant.

Skrrrrrrr:

I just saw this.
What won't I see on this thread.
Someone with a FG% of 47% is what you call a spammer
For emphasis, that's a higher FG% than Kobe Bryant.
Curry shoots a Ton of 3s and save for this erratic season, he has never shot less than 40%, you can't be a spammer when you make them that high.
You need to be flogged for this blasphemy...

You no even wait for game to end, you don already drop excuse. I mean who tells us anybody that, oh you won because of your rebounding. Am i not supposed to try to rebound?

steady986:
If the Warriors win this game, it will be because of their rebounding (and the referees )

Let me remind you, Sir. Today is 13th May 2022.

Blueelf:
You can't argue with what I said

Steph is a defensive liability yes or no?

Draymond is an offensive liability yes or no?

Klay plays both sides of the floor well yes or no?

Steph is just stat padding these days and doesn't really care if the team wins or losses yes or no?

I suppose the kings are hoping they can just do it by hiring a coach from the GSW system. They are hoping they get lucky one of these days. He may very well succeed, but it doesn't look good. Some people are just great assistants, and that's how far they can get with their greatness, but there's no harm in trying abi.

A40:
Was going to say. Like Mike Brown was a good coach 10 years ago. The Kings really cursed bro

You know it's a good thing you don't occupy any management role at GSW.

Blueelf:
GSW front office needs to take the bold step and trade either Steph or Draymond and leave Klay Thompson.

Steph is a defensive liability who is no longer a 3pt threat. These days, he's just an inefficient volume shooter

Draymond is an offensive liability who is punching way above his weight by playing centre.

Either of one of them should be traded asap

We'll revisit this. That performance was terrible alright, but there's one factor that makes this tricky. Coaching. As opposed to others, unless you are just overwhelmingly talented, i believe coaching is very important to a winning culture. We've beaten the Phoenix suns fully loaded, and they are not that different now. In fact i won't be surprised if we dispatch them in 6 games. You can't really tell until we actually meet them. One series at a time. Besides, are you alright? What is it with 'mediocres like Bjelica and Porter don't cut it'. You dey talk like the entire bench has always been solid even through the championship years. You don't have to go 12-player deep in the playoffs. 3/4 additional solid players is fine. Besides Porter is playing his bench role well. He was one of those that kept GSW in the game in game 4. Abi na back of TV you dey watch ni?

Blueelf:
When I told my fellow GSW fans that we ain't winning the championship, you guys doubted my fandom claims, hope y'all can see it now

Getting blown out by 35 at Memphis is not championship calibre. The truth is, GSW needs someone like KD as much as KD also needs a team like GSW. GSW fans don't like to admit it but it's true. Having some mediocres on the bench like Bjelica and Porter doesn't cut it at all

I doubt we're even beating Memphis at home

This is the bitter truth. Even if we get to the WCF, ain't no way I'm hell we going past Phoenix

Some would have you believe coaching doesn't matter. Kerr just has the Luxury of Curry, Klay and Draymond. . There's another half sha. Se Sacramento o ra gbese bayi.

Are you alright?

etidy:
Bro the warriors are 0/15 from 3 and are just spamming turnovers after turnovers.

This warriors ceiling is the confidence finals and what happened to the Splash Brothers?

I know the nostalgic feeling is off the charts with the warriors fan base but they need to blow up this their big 3 and invest in a proper big who can contribute both offensively and defensively.

I don't know but if you keep jumping up and down, driving constantly, your knees will take a hit, and any touch could just put it out of place. You want to be careful, spectacularness is nice, but....................

You are overreaching here. At least it's too early. He's had worse games even in the finals. Or are you new to this?

Skrrrrrrr:
Either curry isn't the shooter he used to be or he is suffering from some trauma. His shooting has been terrible this entire season.
The shots he missed were mostly wide open looks.
Him and Thompson were a combined 5 of 23 from deep. If they were 40% at least they would have won game 2.
If Curry doesn't get out of this slump, the grizzlies are going to send them home.
Kerr's coaching has also been questionable, Morant scored 15 points off wide open 3s. They deliberately left him open and dared him to shoot and he scored 5 times, that's as many 3s as Steph and Klay combined.
