Playoffs thread..

Good for CP0. It only took him being the third best player on his own team, injuries to all of Utah's guards and copious amounts of ref help, but he finally didn't choke for once. :tu

[daslicer]

:lol at anyone thinking the rockets even have a chance against the dubs

I see the Rox losing in 5 games against the Warriors. I don't like either team so I will just be watching the series for entertainment value. It will be interesting to see if CP3 and Harden will shed their labels of being chokers or if they will succumb and choke.

uhh...they got swept in the RS by an average of 17 points and have managed to win 1 out of 8 games now. So no.

How is CP3 a choker. You don't pull that label out right after a guy proves he's not. Goes to the finals crazy clutch and "we'll see if he sheds his label as a choker."

If you don't realize it after tonight you're feeding your narrative rather than looking at it objectively and nothing will convince you.

It's probably because of his long track record of choking in the playoffs.

These takes are why nobody comes here anymore. Its retard center. smfh, going back upstairs.

Agree with the above, if anybody here is stupid enough to believe the jazz who have only won 1 game, to beat a team like the rockets who were already looking ahead to warriors...because of Rubio...you should stop posting.

It’s Spurstalk, what do you expect.

[K...]

well utah lost it's top two guards but hey also couldn't exploit capela vs gobert. I hope Capela has done enough to get the refs to let him rape the donkey. Cp3 and harden both have the ability to choke bad when shit is going poorly so i don't know if they can win. But lets hope for fun games and durant's dick falling off

Jazz with a healthy Rubio take it in 6 tbh. And I'm sorry son, I know you have to support your team but they ain't beating the dubs. They might push it to 6 if the dubs have a couple of bad shooting nights but I doubt it.

Not true for years I felt Dirk was a soft player who was a choker for years. He earned my respect during his 2011 playoff run when he took out the Lakers and Heat. Two teams I didn't think he was capable of beating. If CP3 and Harden beat the Warriors I will give them the respect they deserve.

I don't blame you for thinking that tbh, the rockets have coasted. Back to the wolves they have played 3-4 good quarters all series to seal the games. You're gonna see that full intensity soon.

Gonna let you in on a secret...Rubio plays its over in 4. We are MUCH better when he's on the floor. The team feasts off of making him try and shoot.

[Spurs da champs]

Anthony Davis aint a real big man.

[RD2191]

Fuck, my hatred for the dubs and their fans will force me to root for the roxs in the wcf. Hopefully they can end the faggotry that is the warriors.

[Reeko_Htown]

Only Spurstalk would think Ricky grease Rubio takes the the Jazz over the number one seed. What’s next? Bertrans the next Kevin Love?

[Pelicans78]

Pels are too sloppy right now. Need to limit the turnovers.

[daslicer]

Anthony Davis aint a real big man.

He doesn't have the body or build to have a back to the basket game like Hakeem, Duncan.

[Darth_Pelican]

Pels are too sloppy right now. Need to limit the turnovers.

That and stop letting them dominate the last 90 seconds of each quarter

[Darth_Pelican]

Anthony Davis aint a real big man.

30.3 ppg and 12.2 rpg career playoff statistics. Don’t care if he’s called a big man or not.

I haven't watched Warriors-Pels. I figured I needed a break from the Warriors after the Spur series. I will watch the WCF but after the Warriors advance I will not watch the Finals. I have found I'm less angry when I don't watch the Warriors play. Durant destroyed the NBA by making them unbeatable. It looks like they are going to be winning every year until 2021.

[daslicer]

Durant in my eyes is the most hateable player on the Warriors even more hateable than Draymond.

[Bill_Brasky]

The Warriors are such a group of collective cock suckers. I hate when people compare them to the Spurs. The Spurs would never be such showboats.

[Spurs da champs]

Lmao KD is such a bitch, somebody needs to break his legs rn.

He & Boogie really would cover each other's flaws so well in this series.

[daslicer]

He & Boogie really would cover each other's flaws so well in this series.

Agreed. Boogie is great back to the basket player while Davis isn't. Davis on the other hand is a much better defender than Boogie.

[spursistan]

Rooting for the Rockets next round. Dubs are bunch of flaming faggots. Will always be.

What an insufferable collection of douche-bags, why don't they just win and go home?

[Spurs da champs]

Agreed. Boogie is great back to the basket player while Davis isn't. Davis on the other hand is a much better defender than Boogie.

Warriors are roughing him up so bad, dudes been getting bullied by Draymond all series.

[TimDunkem]

Durant in my eyes is the most hateable player on the Warriors even more hateable than Draymond.

Draymond is a hype man more than anything. Durant is a legitimately awful person.

[daslicer]

Warriors are roughing him up so bad, dudes been getting bullied by Draymond all series.

I haven't watch the series but I have seen highlights of some of the stuff Draymond is doing to him. To really bother Draymond you have to be naturally big and have a back to the basket game. Look at the Spurs series where he hardly guarded LMA and would only guard him for 5 minutes a game. Draymond from what I have seen struggles guarding Cousins,Towns,LMA,Embiid.

[spursistan]

Draymond is a hype man more than anything. Durant is a legitimately awful person.
Yeah, he is the all-round most pathetic superstar in NBA history..

[DMC]

Pelicans have zero ball movement, and Davis gets ignored in the paint over and over. I'd tell the next motherfucker who shot without Davis touching the ball to grab some wood, you'll be here a while. Can't expect Stymie to do any real coaching, ookay? Let's tighten it up, oookay? Share the ball, no quick shots, ookay?" Moore shoots in the 1st 4 seconds of possession of the very next inbounds.

[Spurs da champs]

Davis throws junk up every time, Jrue is a beast.

[daslicer]

Draymond is a hype man more than anything. Durant is a legitimately awful person.

Agreed to me is a fake person with multiple personalities.

[DMC]

Yeah, Curry's game is about to start.

That's what GS is hoping for. You focus on Curry and the other two will destroy you. Anywhere you focus the other two will destroy you, and no one on the Rockets can stop Durant.

[DMC]

Davis throws junk up every time, Jrue is a beast.

I don't care. He's the best player on the floor. You have to go through him to get the Warriors into foul trouble but they keep clanking bricks with hero ball.

[Spurs da champs]

Holiday posting up a 6'10 dude. Damn.

[TimDunkem]

Sigh.

Of course that Draymond fadeaway went in.

Derozan and Lowry are known playoff chokers.

The Wallace brothers turn it up in the playoffs.

[ambchang]

Wow, what a strange choice of comparison..one of Duncan's worst series of his career:lol can't get out of that hole..

And still comparable to two all-stars.

Warriors vs. Rockets is like watching Stalin vs. Hitler. Not sure who to root against.

[LkrFan]

They'll beat the Rockets if Harden and Paul do too much iso ball.

If anything, mindlessly passing the ball just to say that you're "moving the ball well" leads to more TOs and passing up better looks for worse shots. Against GSt, isoball is the way to go, especially since they're so deadly in transition off of opponent turnovers. Isoball is what the Cavs and Thunder used to have success against them in 2016.

From what I heard is the Celtics were always going to draft Tatum even if they had kept the number 1 pick. They were just doing Philly a favor by trading the number 1 pick so the Sixers could get Fultz.

We're talking two different things here.

I'm referring more to moving without the ball to get open looks. The Warriors do that better than anyone. Particularly, Klay Thompson, the way he runs around screens to get open. Reminds a lot of how Reggie Milller used to do it. I think Klay is hands down, one of the best pure shooters in the game.

You need the personnel to do that though. Player and/or unselfish ball movement doesn’t work with every team. It certainly doesn’t work as well if teams don’t have the players Golden State has. You suggested that Golden State wins if Harden and Paul play too much iso ball. But iso ball is exactly how the Rockets are built. They are NOT built to have a lot of player and ball movement. It’s isolation, PNR, and drive and kick. That’s how they win. One way may be prettier than the other. But depending on the construction of the team, one way isn’t necessarily always better for every team.

You have to adapt to the roster of players you have. Houston wouldn’t be nearly as effective running a unselfish, free flowing, cut and pass, everyone gets a touch every possession heavy offense. They have to run iso and PNR to be successful. Houston may still lose, but NOT running iso ball with Harden and Paul won’t be the answer to beat Golden State.

Agree wholeheartedly. I don't want the ball in anyone's hands except Harden or Paul. Only time Capella touches it is of a defensive collapse. That weakens GS defense. Draymond can stand around while Harden isolates.

Simmons main problem in this series were the turnovers. Not so much how many, but, when they occurred.

The ones he committed late in games 3 and 5 were the most costly.

He's the ROY, IMO. Would like to see him develop into more of a perimeter shooter. That's his biggest weakness.

The late starts are one thing on weeknights, especially when there's multiple games on each night but the late weekend starts, especially after a team of three have been eliminated, is really stupid when you have the entire day to work with. I think I've seen some 7:30p and even 9:00p games.

Why there's any weekend game that starts after 7 p.m. ET after the first weekend, I'll never know.

The blueprint was laid out by the Magic in 2009 and the Warriors in 2015 on how to stop lebron (if he doesn't have Wade or Kyrie)- let him do whatever he wants, posting his monster numbers, while shutting down all of his role players. That's how you beat him.

Lebron is 18-25 vs the Spurs..His worst record against any other team in the NBA by some margin.

Stop talking out of your ass dumbfuck :lol..

His numbers against Spurs: 26.5/7.2/6.7 on 50.4% in 27 games. Pretty much his career numbers, his W-L is bad b/c SA has been the only consistently great team 2004-18, while he was with the shitty Cavs for 11 years.

Kobe Bryant is 39-43 all-time against the Spurs, his worst record against any team. The Spurs certainly knew how to stop him alright.

Oh wait, Kobe massacred San Antonio like no one else in history. :lmao quoting W/L record's.

tbh no shit when Lebron has Kyrie/healthy Wade on his side, he's hard as fuck to beat. But it's when his team is trash that leads certain defenses (Raptors, 2015 Hawks most notably) to make the mistake of overhelping on Bron and force his scrubs to beat them. No, the optimal strategy is to force Bron to do everything while preventing JR Smith/Kyle Korver etc from having good 5-7 3PT shooting nights. But I wouldn't expect a mouth breathing sack of shit like spursistan (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=49560) to understand that.

[Clipper Nation]

"LeBron stopper" Morris already has two fouls, and apparently he thinks an integral part of "slowing down LeBron" is chucking up a shot every time he gets the ball on offense.

[spursistan]

Stevens is going to destroy Lue in this series :lol..

[Clipper Nation]

It's already obvious that the Celtics are the better team. Every Cavs player not named LeBron is back to being garbage against a real team.

[Clipper Nation]

LeBron's going to need to drop 60 just to make the Cavs' loss respectable.

[SuperCam]

cavs miss killa 'kyrie real bad

[D-Wade]

I always thought Horford was soft and underachieving, but he's playing the best ball of his career under Stevens this year. Even in "starless" teams like the Pistons, you need that levelheaded guy like Billups to make the right decisions in the clutch

[FkLA]

Horford is a richman's Donkey Green, jack of all trades type player. He can actually shoot and can create his own shot at times unlike Donkey though.

But since he's humble and professional instead of a loud, mouthbreathing monkey he doesn't get anywhere near the same recognition despite being a better player.
