Damn, Terrible point play

Roland17:


The Knicks are who we think they are!! Nothing has changed, they don't seem to have a style of play, reminds me of street basketball. All ISO.

I like Hornaceck, and i think he can really help the team grow, they are just going to have to decide who their point is going to be, and this derrick rose i am seeing just wants to score. Only Melo can create his own shot really, if Rose is going to be point, he needs to start creating for others if the team wants to get that 8 seed. You are right though, Nothing has changed, just more injury prone players.

LeBron triple double.. Good way to start..
BTW the Knicks are still the same as we all have seen.

I said it up there, I think he wants that MVP this year.

I think it's championship or bust for the Warriors this season. The pressure is on Oakland to win the title, especially after recruiting KD and the disappointment of last season.

I think their biggest threat is their deadliest joker, he reinvented modern small ball, when he is on the floor it alters match up for opponents. however, he was responsible in some ways for their fall last season against Bron.

If they keep him in check, I think they have a chance, if not, they would fail to clinch it this season.

50-40 in favor of Spurs.. We have to stop with slow starts

Totally agree with you.

Men what are the warriors playing?

Dame!

Golden state should chop thier L abeg.

#GoSpursGo

Jonathan Simmons though.

120-93

See eh, these jokes write themselves

Didnt even bother tuning into the GSW game cause i thought i would be bored, oh man, the Western Conference has a way of shocking you now and then

Raise your hands if you love the WCF. fam, them memes and gif gonna be brutal tonight on Social Media. Golden State, Yall Had one Job, Go 82-0

Is it true Kawhi trained with Kobe during the summer?

Kevin Durant really called Kawhi a System player? I am sick.

See, I just want to sit down and laugh at Durant.

A legitimate argument can be made to disregard tonight's result because it's only game one first game of the season (forgive me, I still dey post season mood), however, that argument is not for me. When a championship contender loses to another contender especially from the same conference, it is quite worrisome.

The reason coach pop is head above his peers in the league is the fact that he studies the history of his opponents. The Spurs just replayed game 4-7 of the finals series of last season.

The Warriors seem to be struggling with the same problem from last season. They can't defend the high pick and roll to save their lives, interior post defense and turnovers. These teething problems can not be resolved by out scoring opponents, the western conference would be very tough this season with usual suspects playing primary suspect.

Wait, this is not complete.

They lost at HOME!

Jordan never faced a team like what Lebron is about to face. You guys don't seem to understand what these warriors would do this season. iv seen it already.
It's not just about the quality if players. its the movements, fluidity and diversification of set-plays.
Lebron has 2 supporting cast that didn't make all nba-teams and allstars last season.

You have to adjust for the era as well. Under what rules?

What happens on a night the 3's aren't falling

Who is stopping M.J on this Warriors team? Who would Pippen not guard? Do you think Green would cope with Rodman in the paint?

Its not about making all-NBA. Kyrie's performance in Games 5 and 6 were unbelievable. I wonder how many rings M.J woulda won if the 2nd best player on his team can drop 41 in an elimination game

A lot to break down. The way the Spurs executed offensively was sick

And then the Spurs 3's started falling and that was when I felt the Warriors had no hope.

The lack of size in the interior is a problem. Varejao, McGee are extremely incompetent.

Its a long gruelling season with loads of time for Golden State to improve

The Spurs though are a threat. They added quality depth and have a way of making role players look like gold. Plus we all forget Kawhi hasn't reached his prime

One more thing. Steph can like to improve his defense a bit. Old man Tony Parker shouldn't be zipping past him

Lmaoo he was on akpeteshi

Lillard. Baller aye. That guy is a killer

D. Rose is not a natural pass first facilitator. If the Knicks were banking on him being that O.Y.O is their case

A guy like Melo woulda meshed better with Rondo

They need to make that offense move through Porzingis. He is a matchup nightmare and they are not maximizing his potential

I don't know how Joakim Noah became completely useless on offense. He used to be a decent passer

LeBron came back like Jordan in his flu game.. What an opener! LBJ 1st opening night triple double for any player since J Kidd 10 yrs ago!!!!! ..

Huge year for Kyrie and love too. Bring on the Goddamn superstar team

well truly those bulls would give these warriors a run for their money. especially when their 3's ain't falling. but in a best of 7, I don't see warriors having bad 3 days more than twice thru the series.

To be frank with you its not the 3points I find dangerous. its their openings, the screens, the-pass-before-the-pass. How far away from the arc they execute their offence.
I don't think all these has ever been seen b4 in NBA history.

last season i confidently sed several times, even on this forum that "defensively the bulls team may neutralise these warriors offence".

but with the addition of Durant, I really can't say the same in a best of 7 series.

Then u may be right, its not about making all NBA teams.
my point is Lebron's supporting casts falls way short of curry's.

Growing pains that is all, concerning the warriors loss.
Am just happy the spurs are good.
When you start hearing stories about spurs trading Aldrige you wonder what is happening.
Because LMA changed the way the spurs played since he joined.

You said it all! Kevin Love played nice too.

Inasmuch as I am pleased to see the warriors lost the game, we should remember it is only the first game of a newly constructed machine. Let give them time to oil it up.

Well said, but theyy looked so uncomfortable knowing that they are going ave to share the bench with a new fellow. Too reliant on 3's, It"s so obvious.

Not saying they wont make the conf finals but ...

Killrhymz:

see as I dey flog smooch

You guys are scaring me lol. i thought i had a super team.

@birdman what's up. Killrhymz is flogging you. i hope your team has power to fight back

Woke on the right side of the bed...

Who get gifs to celebrate ooo? OohMpa?

Dream is when you pack the best punch in your starting lineup and Reality is leaving defense for Mcgee, Brown, Varejao and Pachulia.

It's going to be a lonnnngggggggg season
