Its a pity how it all ended.

And please, I'm tired of warriors fans touting klay Thompson this, klay Thompson that..

The truth is Klay has missed 2 years of basketball and will most likely never be the same again. It is foolish of hope on a guy that has gone through rough injuries.

Some guys in the GSW aren't NBA material and need to be off-loaded. Green's contract is shit and I wonder why he was paid that much. How can a former all star and NBA champ not contribute shit to offense...The annoying thing is, he won't keep his donkey-mouth shut.

I just feel bad for curry. He's definitely not winning MVP this year. That's for sure

One last thing, Steve Kerr has totally lost it. Don't blame those calling him overrated

Curry does not need the MVP trophy to prove anything. He has 2. It is more difficult to win a regular season MVP that lasts multiple games than finals MVP that someone can rely on AD all through the rounds and then stat pad in 6 games of the finals to win it. I will only take finals MVP seriously when they factor all a player has done from game 1 of the playoffs to the finals. As for people complaining about contracts and what not, I feel guys are just being emotional. Draymond is an offensive liability but he is by FAR the best defender in the league and the second most intelligent player in basketball (Lebron is marginally better because he can score). I will not blame him for little issues here and there. We were tired yesterday. We just played a gruelling game against the Refs and LAL whilst Memphis coasted against SAS and rested (the scoreline flattered SAS). Also, Klay's contract meant that we are limited to who we could put on the roster. Klay is occupying 30m+ of contract money that could have brought in 3 solid players. I have seen enough to know that we would be better next season. I won't say much about Kerr (he has his own skoi skoi) but there are 13 better rosters than GSWs in the west. Don't let anyone mislead you. All the coaches they praised as geniuses all proved they are all below Kerr. From Nick Nurse to Brad Stevens. Kerr achieved more with his own roster than they did with better rosters and has won more than all other serving coaches not named G.Pop.

Just like I predicted. The Grizzlies basically took a playbook from the Lakers and Kerr had no answer. This is one of the reasons some critics, including myself are hard on Kerr.

Teams basically double/ triple Curry and force the others to beat them and after two games, it is obvious that plan is effective.

Big credit to Ja Morant.. this kid was picked 2nd behind Zion and with a less talented team has made it to the postseason before Zion.

Because Zion's coach is a fraud that is why.

I was surprised he didn't call a timeout for the game winner.

Thought we had used them all.

Injuries plagued the Warriors all season hence getting players from G-league. What you fail to understand is that even when you are committed to being a troll, you still need to have basic knowledge about basketball so people don't think you just copy and paste from twitter.

You are replying him. lol. Klay Thompson's contract is 3 solid players and we have not had him for 2 years. What did people expect?

SmooshCHN:
Anyways, good thing the season is over. The Warriors clearly have lost focus. From the front office, coaches and down to the players especially Draymond. There's no reason he should be throwing a contested floater for game winner. He never practiced that or even worked on his offense. You're a facilitator doesn't mean you forget how to score. A well deserved loss. I'm just glad Steph and rest knowing he played one of the best basketball seasons in NBA history.

Too reluctant to score. Very hesitant. That is what limits his game.

No

who's watching the bucks?

Giannis choking free throws after taking forever to shoot it

This is what the Heat do and one of the easiest ways to beat the Bucks. Slow the game and convert it to a half court game. They are picking the ball handlers deep which makes it difficult for transition basketball, more so, they are set by the time the ball arrives their own half.
The Bucks want pace so Giannis can have that freedom to run through the Heat or kick out for a 3 but the Heat are dictating the pace of this game as they have also increased tempo a few times here.
Also, in Ariza/ Iggy/ Butler/ Bam they can go incredibly small but more importantly, they can defend the perimeter.

Still tho, the bucks have significant more firepower this year. They have missed some easy 3s that if they make at 50%, they would be up by 10. Heat should be worried

My predicshions


WCF:
1 Jazz vs 8 Grizzlies - I was hoping to see playoff Curry, but such is life. Jazz flogs the teenage mutant ninja turtles 4-0
2 Suns vs 7 Lakers - E be floor general tinz . This is going to go to game 7. Lakers edge out Suns 4-3. Hopefully Lebron stays healthy
3 Nuggets vs 6 Blazers - Nugs sweep 4-0. Accept it like dat, if you like shoot 20 parking lot 3s.
4 Clippers vs 5 Mavericks - poor clippers. This has upset written all over it. Playoff P disappears as usual, and Mavs win this 4-3

ECF:
1 76ers vs 8 Wizards - 76ers win 4-1, wether Westbrook triple double or not . Beal should be happy he smelled playoffs
2 Nets vs 7 Celtics - I really want celtics to pull upset here, buuuut, I see a Nets 4-0 sweep . Maybe Harden can break leg
3 Bucks vs 6 Heat - Smells like an upset, even if Giannis can rewrite his playoff history. Heat win 4-2. Baba God, I hope I am wrong. For Adetokunbos's sake
4 Knicks vs 5 Hawks - Im partial to Hawks here, but they look like the more consistent team. Hawks win 4-2. Give atlanta a real reason to party. not like they need any

They have also picked up their D.. They have the firepower and are favored to go through but the Heat are a gritty team that can adjust to different styles.

Baba..I no gree for this one oh...

I mean it is allowed. There are other good defenders. Just that for his height and his understanding of the game I rate him higher than Gobert, Ben Simmons, Marcus Smart etc.

Abi na we suppose greet you welcome back..

Lol..no mind me ....Good to hear from you...K.D going against you guys??
Interesting match up

birdman:


Warriors deserved that playoff spot. This play in nonsense is garbage. Best record enters playoffs. Period!

As for Draymonds chucking an illadvised floater, i told yall so. The leadership by committee is rubbish. There should be a team leader that can keep role players like Draymond in line. Currys leadership by example is good, but he needs more. He needs to be able to let Draymond know what time it is. You have 3 dead eye shooters on the
court why are you taking a floater? You are a role player on this team Draymond. Know your role!

You're right my guy except for the Warriors deserving the playoffs spot part. Everybody knew what to expect coming into this season so there's no need to complain. We didn't play good enough and this is on the other guys apart from Steph. That team can get so complacent at times and it's fúcking annoying. Is complacent the word or just lazy? I don't even care. Every Warriors fan is sick and tired of this repeated behaviour. We basically see the losses coming and just have to put up with it. They better make big roster changes come off season.

With how dangerous Steph was this season and teams having to send 2-3 guys to guard him. Impossible if Klay was available. I miss that guy.

It's his nerve that gets to me. Like Dude get off your high horse and work on your offense. He's natural with playing stellar defence. Now put some effort into the offense till Klay gets back but Baba say no with all that money. Very annoying

With 15 TO you h e no business trying to win..

Giannis turns the ball over by spending over 10 seconds before taking a FT

How do you take 10secs to attempt a FT? A professional.

He has been doing this for so long and getting away with it. I am happy they are finally calling it.

Guys like Jimmy Butler, Giannis, Draymond just have no excuse for their poor shooting. Why don't you want to get better? That jumpball would have been a TO.

Credit to coach Bud, he made some serious adjustments by playing interior basketball using Lopez and the Heat had no answer for that.
The FT issues with Giannis is one I have begged for him to focus on rather than expanding his offense with the 3.

Butler redeemed himself sha. He needs to learn to shoot.

I will take Jimmy out of that because he is an intelligent scorer. He is not your jump shooter but he finds ways to score around the rim.
I wish Giannis would realize no one can stop him inside the paint just like Embiid realized this season..I have been saying this for 3 seasons now but folks keep talking about expanding his game.
As for Draymond that one no wan even try..

Just look at the rubbish they just called a flagrant foul against Robinson and the Heat!!!! Even with Middleton flopping and exaggerating the contact.

This is one of the absolute reasons why I will never ever tolerate any argument about a player from this era being the GOAT..

Miss me with that debate abeg!

O bob! The Mavs just Dey rush the Clippers like say dem thief their paynt.

Both teams have had numerous opportunities to take a good hold of the game but bad shot selections and open misses have derailed that.
