Warriors or Nuggets?

I'm ambivalent in regards to either team. Bring either of them on.

Dont get me wrong, either one will provide a challenge, but in different ways. It really doesn't matter which one we face, its going to be a much better series than the D league team we played in the first round.

Dubs dont scare me. Outside of curry and a streaky jack, what else do they have?

Nobody shoots well for a whole series. I'd much rather play a jump shooting team than a defensive/running team at altitude.

Let's see. Game 5 is on Tuesday and if it ends then, we can possibly start playing by Thursday depending on how the other playoff series turn out for scheduling purposes.

So? Parker guards Chris Paul. Danny Green has shit the bed defensively and offensively in the playoffs. I don't want to see 6'2" Tony Parker defending 6'7" Klay Thompson. TP sure as hell isn't going to guard Harrison Barnes.

We are beating either team tbh and im not being cocky

Green definitely defended CP3 in the playoffs last year.

Can't underestimate Klay Thompson. That home crowd is also crazy as hell and if we somehow play them, I'm gonna do my best to watch the game live since I live 20 minutes away from Oakland. That being said, they haven't won a game in San Antonio in over 10 years so how can anyone expect them to possibly win more than 1 there in a 7 game series now? Not happening.

I had The Warriors in 6 or 7 anyway, tbh. We know ANYTHING can happen, though. So.... just.... breeeaaathe (myself included, I'm getting sleepy).... :sleep

I have definitely watched Parker guard CP3 this season.

Either team gets beat in 5. I personally think we would abuse Golden State in the paint and slow down the game too much for Curry and Thompson to win a game on their own unless they hit 65% plus from the field. I also think Denver is more likely to be more physical and with having to play at higher altitude I worry about fatigue and injuries.

George Karl is a terrible coach. The key to beating the dubs is playing half court ball. Dubs are thriving off of Denver turnovers. He needs to slow it down.

Manu's gotta be extra careful with the ball if Dubs advance. They got active hands out there.

Very true, but then again it wouldn't be manu without some high risk high reward passes. Lol

Watching the Dubs play, they are the perfect team for Neal to play for, tbh. They jack up crazy, unwarranted shots and are encouraged to do so. Neal would love that environment.

Wow seriously? Are the Warriors this good?

Defo Golden State. Jarrett Jack won't keep shooting > 60%

Oh yeah, in Manu we trust but it is something to keep an eye on.

Spurs need to win for America for what this woman did there is no forgiveness

:p:Denver was the best possible matchup that Golden State could have drawn, tbh..

They were able to play a gimmicky zone and get away with it, because the Nuggets half-court offense is terrible, and they don't have any shooters..

Denver doesn't have any capable scoring bigs, so the Warriors were able to go small and not get punished..

They can run with Denver, which is the Nuggets only elite aspect..

The Warriors live and die by the J, tbh..that doesn't work against good defenses in the NBA..

I'd have Danny Green or Manu guarding Thompson, Parker on Jack and Leonard on Curry, btw..

parker rarely guards cp3 it's mostly green...but yeah i know danny shits the bed on both sides of the ball thats why i said imagine green trying to guard curry, he would get raped. But i know pop he'll probably try to hide tp on thompson and make green and cojo chase curry around all game, save tp's energy for offense.
