Watching Warriors/Celtics game...

[SpursBig3s]

They get away with a lot of shit. Lots of hacking, draymond literally didn't stop moving on that screen right before half lol

You're just finding this out now? They've been getting away with this shit for the last 3 years.

[Mr. Body]

The Spurs facing Houston and then GSW would make the most fucking annoying playoffs ever.

No I've known, but im just bored watching this game, and it's actually comical

[GSH]

Commented on it recently. It's not just the Warriors. The league cracked down for a while, and now it's out of control all over the league - again.

The moving screens help superstar players who only need a crack of daylight a lot more than others. It's good for highlight reels, and good for ratings. You notice it more when teams like Golden State are playing, because they have several guys who knock down those shots more often.

2-3 straight weeks of ref ball and 3's. Disgusting

[FkLA]

Cs up by four. 7 minutes left.

[Uriel]

Let's go Celtics.

[FkLA]

Cs up by eleven. 4:40 left.

[Uriel]

Up 11 with 4:39. :wow

[sasaint]

Cs up 11!

[TXstbobcat]

Cs up 11!

:toast

[spursistan]

Warriors 2 minutes implosion .:lol...

[Uriel]

If the Celtics win this game, all we have to do is win the OKC game tomorrow and hope the Timberwolves beat the Warriors on Friday and we could playing for the #1 seed on Saturday.

:bobo

[HarlemHeat37]

Boston is Golden State's nightmare Finals matchup, tbh:lol they played them extremely well, last season, too IIRC

[Mr. Body]

Stevens outcoaching. The Warriors only have a home-run ball. They can't grind out points down low.

[sasaint]

Up 14!

[GSH]

The Warriors gave up a lot of supporting cast to get Durant. It's really looking like they just don't have the horses to win this game.

[ducks]

The Spurs facing Houston and then GSW would make the most fucking annoying playoffs ever.
Spurs winning it all after that would be unreal

[ace3g]

Draymond...

[$pursDynasty]

Where was the BANG BANG when IT hit his 3?

[sasaint]

Draymond called for a block in the back on the punt return!

[Mr. Body]

Warriors are too small and get killed on the down and cross picks.

[spursistan]

Curry falloff has been unreal..Not sure if he's Top 5 player anymore, tbh..

[MultiTroll]

Y'all watching on network or do I have to fire up the Kodi again?
Shut the tv down for the night but if the Celtics are going to close this right....

[Spur|n|Austin]

Lol draymond finally got called on the screen.

[$pursDynasty]

Game on espn, I can get it on tablet through nba app

[sasaint]

If Kerr were the Spurs' HC, he would have turned the keys over to Dijon by this time. He has given McCaw a lot of burn and he looks like a veteran now.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Stevens showing Kerr who's BOS!

[Spur|n|Austin]

Man I'd love a Spurs/celts finals.

[ace3g]

3 straight O- rebounds by Celtics

[sasaint]

Y'all watching on network or do I have to fire up the Kodi again?

ESPN but less than 2 mins to play.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

How did Curry not get a T for that? :lol

[spursistan]

Bradley dagger.

[sasaint]

3 straight O- rebounds by Celtics

Yep, unreal.

[Mr. Body]

Curry falloff has been unreal..Not sure if he's Top 5 player anymore, tbh..

You mean in this game? He's not a top five player in this game.

[spursistan]

You mean in this game? He's not a top five player in this game.
He is not a top 5 player this season..

[sasaint]

Warriors 2 minutes implosion .:lol...

Don't do that against the Spurs.

[Mr. Body]

He is not a top 5 player this season..

I know. I'm saying he's not even a top five player in this game.

[DPG21920]

HUGE LOSS especially on the heels of SA making that massive comeback. I can't believe the TO's from GS in this 4th. It doomed them but BOS defended this GS team better than I have seen in a long time.

[GSH]

The last couple of seasons, every time the Dubs had a bad first half and we thought they might lose, they came back and blew the other team out in the second. This is not the same GSW team, by a long shot. And it's more than just missing Durant.

[TXstbobcat]

Thank you Celtics!!!!!!

[kaji157]

Well done C`s

[sasaint]

HUGE LOSS especially on the heels of SA making that massive comeback. I can't believe the TO's from GS in this 4th. It doomed them but BOS defended this GS team better than I have seen in a long time.

Crowder's versatility was very important.

No doubt Dubs fans are REALLY salty now!

[Arcadian]

:lol Duds...faggots

[Leetonidas]

If spurs can win tomorrow they have a chance to catch them on Saturday :wow

itshappening.gif

[NASpurs]

That Timberwolves in Minny isn't a gimme for the Warriors . The Wolves have been playing well.

[TXstbobcat]

Spurs are only 1 game back of GS in the loss column.

[DarrinS]

Thank you Celtics!!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Not that it matters in the playoffs as much, but GS's depth is being tested.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Man I'd love a Spurs/celts finals.

We'd win pretty handily imo. We matchup much better with them

[HarlemHeat37]

Hopefully this is the Curry we'll see for the rest of the season..it's the only way the Spurs would actually have a realistic shot at winning the title, tbh..

He's still a star player, but going from arguably the best 2-year peak for a PG in NBA history to just a star player is a substantial drop-off that alters the landscape of the league..

[GSH]

I'm really missing DWest right about now. And to think that the Warriors got him AND Matt Barnes. Just not fair. :lmao

[DarrinS]

Makes the improbable comeback win more important.

[SpurPadre]

Anyone else just come, tbh?

[BatManu20]

Celtics Defense was outstanding tonight. That's really what won them the game.

[TXstbobcat]

That Timberwolves in Minny isn't a gimme for the Warriors . The Wolves have been playing well.

Wolves have played no better this season. I turned down free tickets to the Wolves Clippers game tonight.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

That Timberwolves in Minny isn't a gimme for the Warriors . The Wolves have been playing well.

Team Wolves has played out of their minds lately for a bad team. They absolutely annihilated Utah in Utah, almost beat us in SA (took us to OT) and just beat the Clippers. Definitely an up and coming team, will likely be somewhere in the playoff wheelhouse next year.

[DarrinS]

I'm really missing DWest right about now. And to think that the Warriors got him AND Matt Barnes. Just not fair. :lmao

I'm picking up some subtle sarcasm.

[Spurs9]

Man Celtics have some pretty elite defenders tbh

[sasaint]

Man I'd love a Spurs/celts finals.

Not entirely inconceivable.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Celtics aren't making the Finals with a 5'9" player leading them, Al Horford as their 2nd best player and a below average defense, tbh..they match up really well vs. the Warriors, though, maybe their worst matchup in the league..

[BatManu20]

Celtics Defense was outstanding tonight. That's really what won them the game. 12 points in the 4th quarter for GSW and multiple turnovers.


I've always been a big fan of his, but Avery Bradley's defense is incredible. Best defensive PG in the league, hands down. He dominated both Klay and Steph defensively down the stretch of that game. Sadly we'll have Tony and Patty guarding them...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I think we beat them if we have HCA over them.

Not a PG, but whatever... (IT is the PG)

[SpurPadre]

While a full strength Warriors team should be favored over us, it wouldn't be if Curry regained his MVP form as MVP caliber Curry struggled vs. Green/Kawhi.

[Mr. Body]

I'm really missing DWest right about now. And to think that the Warriors got him AND Matt Barnes. Just not fair. :lmao

There was a play where DWest got the ball late in the clock and sort of blundered around until the siren sounded. It was an ending-of-career kind of play if I've ever seen one.

[GSH]

Hopefully this is the Curry we'll see for the rest of the season..it's the only way the Spurs would actually have a realistic shot at winning the title, tbh..


Curry's style has never gotten him to the FT line a lot, for a superstar-caliber player. He has to shoot lights out, or he's not going to carry a team like some other guys. When he's hitting from outside, he's scary. When he isn't, they have to have Durant on the floor, or they're in trouble.

[HarlemHeat37]

Not a PG, but whatever... (IT is the PG)

He probably means defending PGs, since that's Avery Bradley's specialty..he isn't great at defending wings(he's too small), but he's probably the best PG defender in the NBA..

[Hoops Czar]

Curry falloff has been unreal..Not sure if he's Top 5 player anymore, tbh..

Curry's falloff? He's not playing like a historically great pg unlike the last two seasons, but he's still the best pg in the NBA.

[UZER]

Curry's last two years were an anomaly. Never believed it would last. All those long bombs were always dumb shots even if they went in. Sure he can go off here or there still, but video game mode is over.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

That only works when you can "hide" IT on somebody else, like a smaller spot up shooter who can't really create their own shot. Otherwise, you're giving up a mismatch somewhere else.

We all knew he was done when he went 0/12 from 40 feet, wide open, for a charity memento in front of a national ASW audience.

Dont jinx it tbh.

They managed to do it last season, for the most part(top 5 finish)..they are ranked 18th in defense, this season, though, due to injuries and Thomas being the worst defensive starter in the NBA:lol

[BatManu20]

Not a PG, but whatever... (IT is the PG)

He's a PG by nature, SG for the C's by necessity. Still runs some point when he's in and IT is on the bench.

[DAF86]

Watch Warriors hit everything against us and blow us by 30, tbh.

[MultiTroll]

Nice close Celts.

Guys did WarriorRef rear it's ugly head this game?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Pretty hard to not be a terrible NBA defender when you're roughly my height tbh.

Fortunately they have guys like Bradley, Jamison Crowder and Marcus Smart who pick up the slack pretty well but that doesn't always work against a team with scorers at all the 1-2-3 positions

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Nice close Celts.

Calls were surprisingly pro Celtic. Only about 10 or so fouls committed total by the Celtics all game.

[BatManu20]

I think they'll definitely bring it on Saturday. They know what's at stake. Wouldn't be surprised if some of our guys laid an egg and we lost tbh. We SHOULD be fully prepared though. We know what's at stake as well. Most important game of the season and we have to have it.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

It's on our court. Best thing we should hope for is the Wolves give them all they can handle and more, maybe push them to OT, but the Warriors still win, because we want them to come in tired and satisfied, not tired but vengeful.

[Uriel]

Watch Warriors hit everything against us and blow us by 30, tbh.
You mean like we did to them on opening night? :lol

[BatManu20]

Would love if Minny at least made it a game. Just so it's not a blowout and the dubs couldn't rest their guys for a half or whatever.

[100%duncan]

Brad stevens is a top 2 coach

If he continues to be like this, and given the Finals choke, is it safe to say it was just a fad? tbh :lol

[NASpurs]

Lots of emo fans on that shitty GSW forum, reminds me of another board... :lol

[BatManu20]

I think Curry will turn it on in the playoffs tbh. He may not be unconscious like he has been the last couple years, but he'll be better than he has been the last month or so. I'm definitely not counting him out yet.

[BatManu20]

Lots of emo fans on that shitty GSW forum, reminds me of another board... :lol

Lol

[GSH]

Lots of emo fans on that shitty GSW forum, reminds me of another board... :lol

Yeah, but most of their fans have only gotten on the bandwagon in the last couple of seasons. They don't know shit about cliff-jumping over there. We've refined it to an art form.

[cjw]

Difference between this year and last is 30 made threes. That'd put his percentage back up around 45% and his ~59-60 eFG%. Might be though that he's already peaked and will still be great but not the unicorn he's been.

[Chews]

Fortunately they have guys like Bradley, Jamison Crowder and Marcus Smart ...

Jamison plays for the Redskins, but whatever... (Jae Crowder plays for Boston)

[spurraider21]

He's still a star player, but going from arguably the best 2-year peak for a PG in NBA history to just a star player is a substantial drop-off that alters the landscape of the league..yeah... i mean it was pretty unrealistic to expect him to maintain his 15-16 level of play (statistically one of the GOAT offensive regular seasons), but he's fallen below where he was in 14-15, too

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Great chance for the Spurs to catch them, or get really close, this week. They've been traveling a lot - from NY to Atlanta, then home and then Minny and SA on a back to back, they'll surely be tired. Their schedule for the rest of the season is incredibly easy though, bar the other Spurs game and a Houston game or two.

They still gotta play MEM, MIL, @ OKC , @DAL, WAS, UTA, and NO, none of which are cakewalks for them right now. Could see them dropping any of those potentially.

[cutewizard]

warriors are pathetic, tbh

[313]

yeah... i mean it was pretty unrealistic to expect him to maintain his 15-16 level of play (statistically one of the GOAT offensive regular seasons), but he's fallen below where he was in 14-15, tooI think we can just chalk it up to a down year. He's been inexplicably bad on the road this year, while his home numbers are about the same as past years. He's only 28, so I'd think he isn't on the decline yet, especially since he's not over reliant on athleticism.

[NameLess Scrub]

The Spurs facing Houston and then GSW would make the most fucking annoying playoffs ever.

Add OKC to the 1st round and they'll need to save the refs' lives in order to get calls :lol



Watch Warriors hit everything against us and blow us by 30, tbh.

This.

[james evans]

Curry falloff has been unreal..Not sure if he's Top 5 player anymore, tbh..
top 5??? Curry isn't a top 10 player in the league this season. I can name 10 players having better seasons than him right now and doing more for their team.

Leonard
Westbrook
Lebron
Harden
Durant
Antetokounmpo
Wall
Thomas
Cousins
Davis


And you could also put Rozen ahead of him.

[TampaDude]

Brad stevens is a top 2 coach

I watched him when he was with Butler. His teams were always dangerous. He got the most out of his players, especially in big moments. They were about an inch or two away from winning it all in 2010. Brad Stevens is a helluva coach.
