[Captivus]

watching warriors bucks

[spursistan]

800156610186383360

Granted, Brooks has no clue and is now going to get exposed even more without Russ/KD, but it has to be said that John Wall is probably the lowest key team cancer in the league..He reminds me of Rondo..

[DAF86]

Giannis and Jabbari attacking the rim every trip down the court. That's how you beat the Warriors, that's what Lebron does.

[resistanze]

Durant just getting free shots in this offense.

Ugh hope he fails wherever he's at. I hate players like him.

[-21-]

I remember him complaining about being paid as much as Reggie Jackson. :lol Also, he and Beal don't like each other.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

The Grizzlies offense sucks, but they're up by 17.

[Darth_Pelican]

2 nice wins for the Pels since Jrue Holiday returned.

[apalisoc_9]

The Grizz have won three consecutive away games against UTA-Clippers-Wolves...

Pretty impressive..they're obviously mediocre, but crazy how they're winning all these games without any of their players producing at an All-star level. :lol

Continuity does pay...Randolph of the bench is huge too..No longer are they compleltey inept.

[apalisoc_9]

You think he resigns with the Pelicans?

Lots of upstairs guy want him for next when we inevitably lose Mills.

He will be a UFA so I'm sure he's going to explore his options. He's a west coast guy, born in Cali & played at UCLA, so it wouldn't surprise me if he looks to sign somewhere to the left.

[Dancelot]

Refs gifting warriors extra possessions :lol

[DAF86]

Bucks let one go. So many lost opportunities, even a fucking blown dunk to tie the game at the end.

[apalisoc_9]

Steph curry is not a top 3 player....

Harden, Kawhi, Durant are all better..

[Thread]

Nice watching the Suns lose then going to Mori's Joint & reading their shit.

[DAF86]

Damn, a night with b2b losses for the dubs and clips would have been nice.

[spursistan]

I'm really far less scared from Warriors match-up than last season..GSW will be in for rude awakening if they think they could average 115-120 PPG in playoffs basketball to get their wins..they are so thin and penetrable inside and that won't fly in post season when you get to game-plan for their perimeter chucking trios taking turn at the ball beyond the arc..You won't stop them of course, but if you can hold that team to 100-105 pts, you will be in good shape seen what they give on the other end.

Gotta hope they don't get gifted an all star big. Which is always possible with some of the dumb ass GMs in this league. As much flaws as the Spurs have, I like how they match up with them. Putting Wing Stop on Durant/Curry and forcing Klay to beat you might be the best strategy against them.

[DAF86]

Butler should build a house with all those crunch time bricks he's laying.

[apalisoc_9]

Bulls would be so much better with MCW and Isiah Canaan running the point. They need to trade rondos ass for peanuts.

Addition by subtraction.

[Kawhitstorm]

Giannis and Jabbari attacking the rim every trip down the court. That's how you beat the Warriors, that's what Lebron does.

That's what Kawhi did in the season opener when he got to the line 15 times in 3 quarters. Without Bogut, it's a layup line b/c nobody is intimidated w/ Dominos/Gaymond/Zaza protecting the rim.:lol

[Ice009]

Durant just getting free shots in this offense.

That's what he wanted. I read an article during the off-season about when he was thinking about joining the Warriors, he was saying that he thought it would be great for him, he could just run up the court and shoot threes. He didn't mention defense or anything else. He doesn't want to do any hard work, just wants to win the easiest way possible by shooting long range jump shots and not doing any of the dirty work.

This guy is one of the biggest pussies around.

And if he'd a chosen you---you'd be happier than a pig in shit.

What's even dumber is he said if Warriors won last year, he wouldn't have joined them. Why?...Do you look any less weak than you do now? He's not even strong willed enough to stand by his decision...manufactured an 'out' in his mind'.

That why I dismiss people who say 'he just went where he wanted to go!' Well no - according to him if Kyrie missing a jump shot in game 7, apparently he wouldn't have followed his dreams.

Dude has probably the most iconic image/meme of someone NOT willing to face up to adversity and pressure :lol..

[Ice009]

I didn't really want him. I would have preferred a big man. I was interested in Whiteside myself. You know, I'm a Tim Duncan fan, so I always prefer a big man that can play defense and rebound. Although, during the courting process I didn't think TD was retiring, otherwise if I knew for sure he was retiring, I would have wanted the Spurs to go after a free agent such as Whiteside.

[Arcadian]

:lol Rudy Gay shitting all over Derozan
