Dallas shot about 12 threes made 2, and only went to the post i think once.

22 vs 50.

Pts in the paint
This una 3 point shooting strategy no go fit beat the Warriors. I said it after game 1 that the Warriors are a better 3 point shooting team if both teams shoot the ball well, better still, they can now score on 3 levels with Looney's impact.
Re: The NBA Begins by Thanos(m): 4:34am On May 21, 2022
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.

If its a three point shooting contest. I have confidence we can match gsw stride for stride. Its in the paint they are winning the battle. No worries. I'm bringing out my secrete weapon in game 3. Boban is about to feast this Sunday.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:39am On May 21, 2022
I am so happy for K. Looney. Talk about patience, resilience and self belief. He has been the biggest difference in this series for the Warriors. He makes it impossible for the Mavs to match up against the Warriors on both ends of the court.

This is why one of the hills i am willing to die on when it comes to basketball is the need of 2 or 3 players that could penetrate the basket for easy two. Also sweet, when you have a center you can run plays for for easy bucket. Doesn’t need to be Dirk or anything, But the ability to draw a play for a player for easy two would have slowed the poison in the 3 quarter.

like charles barkley said, When the three aren’t falling, You will look like a g league team

You guys couldn't even win a game where you led by 20 at some point?
You never see anything
Re: The NBA Begins by benji93: 4:40am On May 21, 2022
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. cheesy grin

it’s been almost 7-8 years of Golden state being the best 3 point shooting team in the world and no team has been able to match them in a 3 point shooting contest.

secondly, when their threes aren’t falling they have players that can penetrate the paint and not only that, Looney was giving them easy second chance point in the paint. something we lack, If care is not taken, it will be a sweep

Have some faith. We lost this game, not the other way around. GsW played one of their bestt games with well distributed points across board and it was this close. Dinwiddie will not score only 6 points again. I get my 13-15 from him a d we win this game. Watch things pop off in dallas.

Honestly, I've made my piece with it. The man is doing things in this series. Its really no news though. Our lack of a decent center is an open secret. Maxi kleber shines when teams go small. When there is a decent big with the right scheme, my man's becomes unplayable. But still, mavs in 6

And ah yes, Poole scored over 20 points and whether you guys like it or not, Poole is Curry and Klay's Heir apparent
Re: The NBA Begins by etidy: 4:54am On May 21, 2022
If the warriors want to remain a contender they have to figure a way to keep or trade looney, poole and Wiggins. The Injuries have really battered klay, He's no more a reliable second option and his max contract is just like a sore thumb for the warriors going forward.

Game 3 is a must win for the Mavs, else this is going to be a sweep or at best a gentleman's sweep.

The amusing thing is that Doncic didn't have a bad game, unlike game 1. He scored 42 points.
How many does he need to score to beat the warriors? 60huh?

The ironic thing is that you guys parade at least 3 guys in Dorian Finney Smith, Bullock and Kleber who have good length, size and wing span that can force the issue inside the paint and draw fouls. This 3 point shooting contest against the Warriors is not going to cut it.

They don't need to trade anybody. For someone that missed 2 years of action, Klay is doing just fine. He has been decent. He has his moments. He is still dealing with some conditioning and nerves. He tries too much at times. Plus his defence isn't elite anymore. That is to be expected when you have missed 2 years and walked right into the playoffs.
One full season of Regular season football and Klay would be back to the good old Klay.
He doesn't need to do much, just relax and play. He doesn't rely much on athletism either.

If you Sabi me for this thread, I never rated CP3 from day 1. I'm not an idiot to think he'll ever be better than Steph curry

Thank God even an active NBA player confirmed it the other day

Dallas about to take the L again

And the thing is Looney is not even that big. He's 6ft9 I think. Klebber and Powell are both 6ft10. You would think those two would be able to handle a guy like Looney who isn't the most skilled big there is.

First of, the defense can be better. That usually happens at home where the refs overlook a lot of physicality by the home team.
