Yep, the Warriors have had so many games going into the 4th down double digits. Then Curry starts taking and making shots that would be awful for any player in the history of the NBA other than him. A win is a win though.

Maybe GSW can find a way to win in SA. The last time they won in SA you weren't aware there was a team in the Bay Area. :lmao

Indeed as we've seen in the past, there's not much that can be done to lower the Warriors shooting %: they basically have a 50% chance to make just about any shot, regardless of range or whether it's contested, etc. So the deal is, forget about the man, go for the ball. If you miss and the Warriors player blows past you, it doesn't really increase his chance of scoring, which was already very high anyway.
Facing a guy like Curry who shoots the same from 28+ feet as a center below the basket, traditional D is pointless. Rattle him, foul him, put the hand on the ball.
As good a strategy as any I guess. Still, warriors shot like 10% from 3 point land today, so they were way below the 50% mark from anywhere.

I'm in Indianapolis right now for the Spurs game tomorow. Hopefully we can take advantage of this GS loss and gain some ground on them in the standings!!

Unless LMA has another "migraine"
Re: I never thought I'd say this about Kobe and the Lakers but...
Warriors coasting, trying to get to 4th to face the Grizz.
Re: I never thought I'd say this about Kobe and the Lakers but...
The Warriors seem to have a lot of trouble with loaded backcourt players this year and it might be the key to beating them. From losing to the Blazers, close calls with the Mavs, and now the Lakers, it seems like the teams that tend to play two PGs in the lineup give them a lot of trouble.

2.5 games.
GSW has a game in hand, though. That 2.5 game lead might as well be 3 tbh

Its not like you fags know how to hold home court anyways.
Re: I never thought I'd say this about Kobe and the Lakers but...
I will never thank the Lakers for a thing, piss on em and I hope they suck for the next 20 years. Sincerely; old fan who remembers the 80's.

I'd love to see him in a Spurs uniform but it's likely the Lakers will match any offer for him next summer
