Damn

Wemby and his boys are not serious sha.

It's like Wemby forgets he needs to play. The refs haven't even started cooking and Spurs are playing like a bottom team.

birdman:
my man, if na 3second offside perspective you wan use determine matter, you are on a long thing. you can always find tons of these. Go checkout kobe lakers. Those miracle 3s your boy Curry be taking, you think folk didnt want to get up in his space? Prime Harden, you fit body am? Make una stop this SGA hating and give the lad his flowers. The one you just even posted, the ref looking from the front has a better view, and that could very well have been more physical than it looked to you from the back. E lo calm down abeg. Steph did get the same treatment, which is why he never had to build body strength - you couldnt even breathe on him! you seem to have forgotten so quick....

OKC knows they can just fall and the refs will blow the whistle 😭 pic.twitter.com/501lF8FQB2

This one too? Haba Birdman. The overall officiating is shameful. It's fine if you don't agree but it's he truth. Plus the Spurs have to play better.

And then, don't lie against Steph like that. He isn't known for flopping and flailing about. Steph runs around like a madman. NBA players legit say the same thing about having to guard him especially off the ball. Not the ? Superstar treatment

The way you guys are oversimplify how poor officiating changes momentum is astonishing. No wam.

I just know if Steph or Lebron got the SGA treatment, they'd average 40pts in a season.

How exactly can you prepare for this kind of behaviour? How much experience can save you from this? https://x.com/fifty7cal/status/2059475697161441327?s=46

A40:
At all at all. At least people will relax on the hyperbole and let him mature first

Na experience and OT OKC dey use chance these boys

It's just annoying to watch him since on the baseline

Wemby is not ready for prime time.

greypencils:
Jesu! Wetin be this? Ah no no no no na. This is not basketball. Person suppose maul this SGA. Give am better injury. That fellow will be doing the whole NBA a favour. That time is coming. Better hard foul with beta fracture dey come for this nigga. Wetin be this?

If you see compilations of okc just this series alone, you'd be as mad as any nba fan. You know what it means for Max Kellerman to be calling out the whole team on flopping and playing dirty?

This is actually very weird and irritating

That's a foul man; he made eye contact and held his gaze.

donlittle25:
That boy wenbayama good

This man. Good to have you back for the next 2hrs

So this is what happens when the refs don't take control of the game. Let them play.

birdman:
this is what good basketball looks like. Foul the guys you know cant make free throws. Take jumpshots in the paint and try to draw contact. Even when you have a lead, keep playing your tempo, gas out the lone superstar on the other team. They playing it like its a man's game. Look very well and see how OKC made them pay for SGA double teams

What you explain is basic playoffs basketball; I said OKC was playing dirty. Two entirely different things.

larride:
They are not. See that last play before Jaylin 3.

He kept dribbling needlessly on a spot with Wemby calling for the ball, he only passed with 5 secs remaining.

I done go do something else.

OKC is dirtyyyyy.

Castle needs to sit for a long time. Spurs aren't ready for prime time abeg.

larride:
It seems Mitch head is not correct always. Why is he not drawing play for Wemby. Why is Wemby sitting at the arc and giving OKC free defensive rebounds. It's crazy mehn

How can you have such a weapon and be misusing it.

I legit came here to rant about this. He's just sitting there helplessly.

larride:
Spurs will beat themselves if they keep shooting all these unnecessary 3s on back to back possessions.

Their 3pts shooting % has been poor this series and still want to keep spamming 3s

These guys are young and it's showing. Na why I like Bron. You can't have Wemby and be settling for 3s.

Fox stay aggressive please.

larride:
Series tied 1-1

Spurs have themselves and Castle to blame.

They settled and sold like crazy. Wemby included with sitting at the 3pt line and allowing Hartestein get easy offensive rebounds.

larride:
It is what it is. Castle need to get a grip on his handle or he should stop caressing the ball too much and make the easy pass.

Fox is definitely going to play game 3.

I'm just pissed they are playing like they need to be told to not be careless. I hope Fox plays.

A40:
Spurs Don jonze this one

They gave this game away.

larride:
iHart is basically holding and dragging Wemby on every possession with zero foul called but Spurs players can't breathe near OKC players, a joke

It's OKC; they'll always get the whistle. Can we get an answer as to why they are turning the ball over so much, settling for 3s and not rebounding?

Such a sad time to lose Dylan and Fox tbh

larride:
I say na generational cooking OKC go get today. Make I go sleep joor.

Spurs are settling for 3s and turning over like crazy.

Why is Wemby trying to be human? Why play down and settle for 3s?

afrodoc2:
The expected James Harden choke job in a crunch game. Luckily for them the Pistons are ass.

Let's not get it twisted; he still choked.

So SGA for MVP?? Right in time for for conference finals. I need the Spurs to lock in.

benji93:
I especially agree with the last part. I do not think we win that championship without it going down to the wire. It's hard to defend the position. He played the last two games as you pointed out. Surely if his getting suspended led to a loss of momentum, his return should fix it. It didn't. Which means there's probably something else. My guess is that the star players weren't experienced enough, and not as stacked as people make it seem. They won 72 games because they were doing something relatively new. The run to the 2022 championship was the first year i could properly judge Stephen Curry in isolation(as much as i could come close to it). As in can he really carry a team, given his size? I am glad he proved that he could.

In short, GSW going up 3-1 was the anomaly. But i understand why Draymond and others would buy into the idea that his suspension was the reason. Anything to make myself more important than i am is welcome.

For the first line, while it may be true that GSW cuddled him, I do not know if there's any other way to manage such an oversensitive player without hitting his performance( i maintain that he was important in every championship). You cannot also cuddle such a player without enabling him. So as a business you have a choice to make. They made theirs , and it produced 4 championships. Most owners would take that. It increased the value of the team.

I agree with the last paragraph however, knowing when to move on is part of business. Wasting four years of Curry’s prime after the last championship is honestly criminal. I refuse to believe the Warriors can’t find a better option than Draymond by 2027. His defence, atrocious offense he Balmer Steve Kerr for, questionable leadership can definitely be outsourced.

I may be overreacting but I think he would be much more valuable and happy to play alongside his bestie in L.A

A40:
The Warriors coddled him and this is the prize they've won for that. I'd argue that 4th chip y'all won it without him.

Klay certainly played a bigger role than him for that chip and Klay is gone while y'all continue to allow him overrate his importance whereas he's never been more than the 4th best player for all your chips

15. Steph, Iggy, Klay
17. KD, Steph, Klay
18. Steph, KD, Klay
22. Steph, Wiggins, Poole

I don't even agree his suspension cost the Warriors the 16 chip cos he played the last two games and they still lost (fair play on his Game 7 performance though)

Draymond and Harrison Barnes were the culprit in that series. I hate to remember that year. Yes he played the best games of his life when he returned but his dirty plays was what led to game 4. I'm never forgiving Barnes by the way. All he had to do was hit those open corner series.

After the slap on the wrist from the KD situation, the Poole incident honestly felt inevitable. It’s what happens when bad behavior keeps getting excused instead of addressed. The right move would’ve been to trade him, trade Klay as well since he was already frustrated with the team, but the Warriors had no spine.

Now we’re stuck paying him $27M a year to put up 8 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.5 assists.

At this point, we deserve every bit of nonsense coming our way.

A40:
I'm trying to understand what Draymond's entertainment value is and why is he on Inside NBA. I've never found anything he's ever said to be smart or impactful.

He's not charismatic nor does he have the gift of garb, not funny, not sarcastic in an intelligent way.He just opens his mouth blaaah and says whatever. Why they think he might be the next Chuck is absurd to me.

Get him tf out of there. If he didn't have the good fortune of being drafted by the Warriors nobody would give af about him

Whatever you say man, I agree with you. And to think we'd have had more championships if he or the front office had kept his mouth and behaviour in check.

I've been done with him since he chased KD out and hit Poole. He _{and H.Barnes} were arguably the reason we blew that 3-1 lead, pushed to get KD on the team and then started barking saying "We won without KD". Abeg abeg with his hypocrisy. Wonderful player if you look only at his defensive impact and that's it. I honestly rate his "leadership".

And then the Steve Kerr slander? He needs to go.

Sometime please tell Draymond to shut up. We are tired.

A40:
For a player his caliber. That is not good enough.

You can't put yourself in the conversation with the Steph's, LeBron's etc without leading teams.

If OKC gets to another Finals SGA has passed him already, hell to OKC fans SGA has passed him when they won the chip that KD didn't

KD is now a man without a country. And unless the Warriors are feeling generous it is entirely realistic that KD might not have his jersey retired anywhere

A simple "I just wanted a ring and I'm sorry if I didn't going about it in the most ethical way" would have sufficed but no. He singlehandedly ruined his image with his insecurities.

Roland17:
The Rockets were silly for not getting a PG going into the playoffs.

I have no pity for them. What were they thinking getting Fred Vanvleet as PG to begin with?

You can call KD spineless but those burner tweer were legit. Dude has no business being the "mature" vet; he just wants to ball and smoke.
