The B_36 posted:The Draymond call was probably one that could have been let go, but calling a foul on it isn't insane or anything. Green should learn to pick his spots for throwing a tantrum, and 2 minutes into a 4-2 game isn't the right spot for it. But, Draymond appears to be the rich man's Ron Artest, or the poor man's Dennis Rodman - they play with alot of energy and passion, it's why they're good on defense, but it occasionally goes overboard, and the team has to judge whether their overall play is worth the drama they start every so often. It almost always was for Rodman, it usually is for Draymond, and it was 50/50 for Artest. The reason he threw a tantrum was because it was his second foul and knocked him out of the biggest game of the year so far basically immediately. 99% of NBA players would throw a fit in that situation, it's what NBA players do

People talk about teamwork, blah blah, but the truth us, we all want a hot doger. Curry isn't chucking this year, and he and the Warriors are worse for it, because he is the greatest chucker the game has ever seen. management needs to get off durants jock and pump up curry again. or don't, whatever it will be funny if the stats nerds take another L. don't buy into your own poo poo.. yall were great because Curry was an ungaurdable monster, and the rest of the team roleplayers. teamwork is bs. you have a player who shot from half court as his offense. thats not great passing.

My philosophical position on taunting is that one man has no right to taunt if he got his big dunk as a result of his teammates setting crisp screens, coach calling a good action, and the pg giving him a perfect pass However if someone does something cheap to you on the court, then you get them back by dunking on them, blowing by them, melting them with a screen, then you can taunt

The Warriors seem worse this year and I don't really understand why. Even watching them they look decisively mortal. Obviously if they get two hot hands in their lineup anywhere they obliterate opponents from orbit, but if they don't their defense just hemorrhages opportunities.

Keith Smart is that you?? I duno you kinda have to have that poo poo because it what makes the Warriors work sometimes. They like being flashy. Probably to their detriment at times.

The stink of his last finals performance* is bad tho. Keeps him out of the top tier all time for me. I guess he can recover this year. * the Warriors apologists "He as injured!" is really annoying.

Yeah, I think brolic called it early on, they're nowhere near the same team they were last year. They have more talent but they're less of a complete team. They just don't have a big who can do what Bogut did, because he was such a good passer and rim protector. Pachulia is looking diminished after that injury he had last year, and Javale is Javale. But we'll see during the playoffs what the 5 all stars lineup looks like on defense when durant is giving maximum effort. As always they're troubled by teams that rebound the ball well and take advantage of their billion silly passes a game

Obviously if they get two hot hands in their lineup anywhere they obliterate opponents from orbit, but if they don't their defense just hemorrhages opportunities.

I don't want to get into this argument, watch the games, he wasn't playing like himself, he couldn't move laterally, he didn't get as much space on jumpers, he was hesitant to drive, and he was the engine of the team. If you want to argue he was in no way diminished and his injury did not affect the finals, good for you

Is Cavs-Warriors legit turning into a great rivalry before our eyes? I don't so much get a Lakers-Celtics vibe, but it does feel like one of those 90's ones that made the NBA great back then. The sheer hatred between the two sides. The mind games, and the talent seems to all play into a great series of games.
