Matching up with the Golden State Warriors

GhostOfPGA · May 12, 2019

What would you do defensively to slow them down and give us a chance to win the series? I’m assuming KD and Boogie will see court time.

I think we will need to extend Collins and Meyers minutes to put a body on Boogie, also to run him off the court offensively. Harkless and Aminu will also be instrumental in defending KD.

TBpup · May 12, 2019

Throw them off and start Anfernee, Skal and Layman.

Natebishop3 · May 12, 2019

Welp... we have a ton of experience playing against these guys, so there shouldn't be any surprises.

illmatic99 · May 12, 2019

I think the team is flying straight to Oakland this afternoon. That is an insane turnaround. I wonder if Dame has a house there. At least he'll be at home.

KingSpeed · May 12, 2019

Aminu, Harkless, and Turner will have to take turns Ding up Durant. I think they're the best 3headed defender in the NBA that you can put on him.

illmatic99 · May 12, 2019

BTW.

I'm gonna be in SF on the day of Game 7.

Really hope we finish this series before that so that i don't need to spend a grand for my wife and I to be in Oracle.

Man would be nice to have some rest. Team must be elated/exhausted. Its a whole new animal now.

Hey, if we manage to beat them. That means Durant leave GSW and joins us right?

joeBlazers · May 12, 2019

One Gasol injured and had surgery. Out for playoffs.

Yep. We need to fall behind 1-3 and then rally to win the series. Then Durant signs with us for MLE.

BoomChakaLaka · May 12, 2019

Do we wait until the morning to learn anything about Hood?

Think he'll be fine.

EGame · May 12, 2019

Not going to lie we don’t matchup well. But that would be the case with pretty much every team maybe outside of Milwaukee since they have a bunch of all stars. The only thing we have for us is learning from our past matchups with them, knowing we can hang with them after being 2-2 in the regular season this season, and a whole hell of a lot of heart and guts. That could take us along way. Even still this is the monstars we’re talking about. Sooner they break up the sooner we maybe able to hold a grasp on the WEster conference along with maybe Denver

illmatic99 · May 12, 2019

I think we matchup better against GS than Denver, even if we're heavy underdogs.

Kanter is gonna be HUGE. They have no one who can guard him.

I think Durant's gonna play in the first game or at least that's what Kerr predicts. However, I've had a strained calf and it took a long time to heal. Side note: I had a gorgeous woman doctor examine it and she massaged it while I developed a woody.

BigGameDamian · May 12, 2019

Dame has got to shoot the ball better. Also Boogie coming back maybe a blessing in disguise. You can only have so many stars. Hopefully he'll disrupt the locker room.

And that's when you wake up and the dream goes poof.

She didn't even notice?

A grand for that game will only get you into the cheap seats. If you want good seats you're going to have to come up with $5 Thousand to $10 Thousand bucks per seat for a game 7 against the Warriors.

They have Bogut. Center like Kanter are the entire reason they signed Bogut--he's no good against teams that go small.

As for how to slow Golden State--they may have to go small, heh. I hate the idea of Kanter getting pulled into pick-and-rolls, especially if the end result is him defending Curry in space. Their core lineup may have to be something like Lillard/McCollum/Harkless/Hood/Aminu, if Hood is okay. That still leaves matchup problems, especially when Durant returns, but it's probably their best chance to switch and hang defensively.

Wade Garrett · May 12, 2019

I like our chances.
They have nobody to shut down Kanter (Nurk would destroy them) we have fouls and bruises to give Durant and no fucking way Dame isn't gonna be the best player in the series.

Stevenson · May 12, 2019

I just read this stat - is it accurate?

In the past two years, we have played GS 7 times, and have won ... 4!

No fucking way in hell Lillard isn't gonna be the best player out there. You forgot the "in hell" part.

Bogut is gonna get worked by one armed Kanter. Cousins though? Is he expected back?
