Go OKC and Dubs tbh
Spurms
I won't be watching but the Spurs Curse is alive and well! Any team that cheats and gets to the next round via controversial calls, they will be out in the next round! Karma's a ! NBA wanted GSW to win it all and they needed to get rid of the team that could be beat them and so that their media darlings GSW 72 win season would be for nothing so let's make calls to get the Spurs out and put OKC in! GSW will sweep OKC and then blow by Lebron & Cavs and win it all! Rigged!
I honestly don't care for any of the teams left competing. I just want the rest of the playoffs to play as close as game 2-5 went this series. Some good close playoff games as a fan of basketball to watch.
Spurs wouldn't have beaten GSW. Sorry bro.
I just want to see Westbrook go all out against them, its gonna be one of the best series in years.
And I don't get these Pop is senile . Every team has its strengths and weaknesses. Our size mobility with the frontcourt is one depending on matchups and our depth at the pg is another. The ball simply didn't drop on a ton of good looks. Thunder got rebounds, and got unexpected contributions from guys like Roberson and Waiters on the offensive end.
Outside of last night's game and game 1 the rest of the series could have gone in either direction game to game. It was close games into the deciding minutes.
Despite the weaknesses we had out their with the lineups Spurs were always in position to win outside of game 6.
West and Diaw on the court at the same time was the only thing I disagreed with in terms of coaching decisions. Other than that you tip your hat at a well fought opponent.
Or more simply put they got better results from their bench than the Spurs. What else could pop do aside from tossing out Boban who is foul prone, Miller old and slow, Martin who had been inconsistent since being acquired?
Pop didn't lose this series because of coaching our bench did
Can't root for the Thunder due to reasons established abundantly.
So I hope they all lose and there's no champion due to an unprecedented amount of flopping and whining.
Good post. I will root for them too. If Durant indeed does have a Nowitzki playoffs they will be trouble. Still think GSW wins bc Kanter will be exposed on defense and Russ mental farts and tendency to chuck and gamble on defense will cost them but I do like Adams, Durant and some of their roleplayers. OKC showed incredible hustle. Hopefully Roberson maintains his fluky shooting bc otherwise Kerr will take him out of the series guarding him with Bogut or something. I still think GSW wins but I wish OkC a good series and it may be their year. GsW has cakewalked in the playoffs. The WCF May be fun if OKC doesn't fold. By the way, TO Will kill them against GSW, we didn't capitalize on those enough.
Don't set yourself up for disappointment like that. We aren't getting KD.
Players did. Lest we forget the veterans had some stinker games. Not only West, Diaw, but Patty was horrible, Manu didn't have a good series and he's a game changer when he plays well. Anderson was a newbie, and for everyone to see, Martin was much worse. Boban, not only foul prone but bad PnR defense. Entire team was overmatched. POP could have experimented earlier but it wouldn't have changed the result IMO.
We should have won game 2, the 41 of superstar game by LMA and didn't. That was perhaps the sign right there. That game TD was 1/8 shooting. From there on we lost a series of close games. The last game was a foregone conclusion. POP played everybody. Bitter end.
I think pop had a lot to do with it. He bull ted the Memphis series when he shoulda been getting ready for OKC. Then he never did any adjustments during the series. He was really bad. But tbh Donovan is a beast. He toyed with Pop. I think its not only Pops fault but the inep ude of his team. Becky, Italian scrub and African fellow are the worst cos coaching team in the NBA. Get the rid of those scrubs.
This is where we disagree. Not much you could do with adjustments in game. You can't plan for players failing to drop open shots in an out of the lane. Defense sure you can manage and adjust to a point. The Bench just didn't show up and hit their open shots and they had plenty.
Donovan only took Payne out and Roberson and Waiters more. Adams and Canter hit the baskets hard for rebounding. When you had Duncan and Aldridge on the floor the damage was mitigated and lessened the moment you subbed them out all broke loose. Playing them 48 minutes isn't going to win them a ring.
Bench under performed in a time where they had to show up. Coaches and prep them and shoe them film and talk about assignments and blah blah blah. Bench came in and didn't produce.
You can notice that certain lineups suck and stop doing that.
What was the alternative. Duncan off the bench.
Nope it's Dubs all the way
Dub nation
Strength in numbers
Oakland warriors
Stephortless victory
And what not
King James will dispatch with the mulatto bros or durbeta
Stagger players like Donovan did with Russ and KD
I had that thought, but Patty can't hit the back side of s barn. Diaw the same. West had moments but same thing, Manu was OK nothing to boast, Anderson to passive.
Foul trouble also screwed this up with staggering.
Just a bad time to go cold on one end from the bench. They hit the shots they normally could hit this would be about how are they going to handle the Warriors right now.
Great college coach. He's yet to prove himself. If they get by the warriors then we'll see
I'm not a complete Pop hater. I just think he tends to eat his own dog food, if you know what I mean.
