One thing about Houston is that they can have a bad day beyond the arc and still sneak a win (which they almost did in game 1&2), but GS, they could do it but it's always a struggle for them. It's clear in this series that if ever Houston shoots significantly better than GS on 3s, they're likely to win that game.

Damn, I had to go back to find out that I didn't even start up this discussion with you.

steady986:

Lol, I like the way you analyse things from a glass half full perspective. But if I were you, I'd press that panic button now. Don't you get it that the threes ain't dropping? I said here before the PS that everything would eventually come down to how well the splash brothers shoot threes. Live by the three, die by the three.
Nick Wright has spoken so please come and educate us on what happened.. Or did the Warriors just cheat as usual?

Welp. The warriors dont need KD, they never did. Just a b-tch a-s move from a b-tch a-s nigga to make a really really good team unbeatable. Plus he robbed people of watching prime curry in all his glory. Curse this serpent!

It was used in a derisive and dismissive manner. Jokic leads the entire playoffs in rebounds and wait for it... Assists

If some people peg Joel Embiid as a superstar then Jokic is a superstar as well

Shannon and Skip might drop the odd shock value yarns when they are stanning their faves but Shannon is a HOFer and very intelligent, he knows the X's and O's of the Sports he breaks down as well as Skip who has been covering these games before anyone on these pages were born

Nick Wright mostly quotes and regurgitate stats, a lot of time without context and he is no different than the average nerd on Twitter or Reddit. This is why he always runs into problems when they bring actual people that played the sport and know numbers aren't everything

You dont become a superstar off of one season. This man literally just made his first all star game I'm not ready to put him in that category yet. If most dont consider AD a superstar then Jokic certainly isnt a superstar.

Without numbers all we have is opinions and narratives and all of that is subjective. Nick also tends to hold back on going at his guests i guess just to be polite sometimes but i've seen him hold his own. Hes not my favorite analyst not even close, but the man gets a bad rap for no reason other than he loves lebron. All numbers guys love lebron, daryl morey loves lebron, thinks hes the goat by a mile, very few people know numbers better than daryl morey so i dont think these numbers wright uses have no context.

I said if Iggy was playing we beat them in 5 they thought we were boasting.

I said after KD got hurt that our movement improved they thought I was joking. KD is the best player in basketball but he is a bailout player on GSW.

And Steve Kerr is a coach. I said it is not easy to coach egos. I have nothing against Brad Stevens as I can see that he knows the game of basketball and he is humble. But had Kerr sh*t the bed like Boston did, nobody will give Kerr a chance.

You lot swear LeNomad is the best player in the league but he's not won a regular season MVP since 2014. Using your logic his era ended in 2014

For context, between 2017 and 2019 James Harden could easily have been a 3 time MVP. This does not mean he holds a candle to Kobe.

No, none of the guys i mentioned won MVP throughout their era but it was clear who the top dawg was. No one accomplished more than them individually during this era, Wilt had 4, Kareem had 6, Magic had 3, MJ had 5, and lebron has 4. This players also consistently proved how far above everyone else they were during this time especially in the off season. During "his era" duncan had 2 and nash had 2, more than him which is less than you can say about these other lads. You could argue Kobe should have had one more but whose fault is that? No one asked him to go ra.pe someone.

I’m not here to defend curry, but I think the fingers are affecting him, he has been so inconsistent for too long, that’s not usual of him. the argument that he played well in game 5 fourth quarter is not valid to me.

I forgot to mention you. Congrats. We earned this.

Didnt you just tell me how the warriors are depending on KD? angry

14-4 FT disparity.

I am not saying Refs are cheating because so far they are not. But Rockets are flopping for FTs.

The positive thing about Curry is, at least he is well-rested. I do not expect the GOAT shooter to be this quiet after the half.

Curry masterclass loading.

This reminds me of game 6 vs OKC.

Hate to say it but I said it.

All i want. But on the contrary i dont want curry to fail, i want him to go back to carrying his own team like he did so splendidly the year he won the unanimous mvp. He went from that to not being the best player on his own team. I want a more even league with the OG warriors, maybe a knick resurgence with kyrie and KD, the sixers doing their thing, raptors too. Denver coming into their own, watch out for the phoenix suns, yes the suns. And what about the lake show with lebron and kemba walker? Giannis and the bucks are looking scary, the celtics got AD? How swell!


Not this circus show where we all know how the story is going to end.

Iggy hit 5 3s tonight. Looney was locked in. Jerebko and Cook were on deck. Klay held it down. And then he showed up when it was time.

Sincerely, i was pained when GSW lost to the Cavs in 2016, i wanted another series, hoping green could keep his emotions under check, then comes KD. How can you beat that,the guy's got height and wingspan, gradually relegated SC3 to the second option. I don't exactly like KD here, he stagnates everything. I probably agree with your emphasis on leveling the playing field.
