Game Thread WCF - Warriors vs Zombie Sonics - Series thread

Not in the least. But Westbrook is a bad mutherfucker! Durant? He's good, but he's not all he's cracked up to be.

 

I have a good friend who is a drone pilot. I'll let him know tomorrow.

 

They can only do so much. You can lead a horse to water....

 

I HATE that OKC franchise. But after the Blazers/Warriors series, I hate Green more.

 

NOT getting suspended was his punishment.

If he hadn't played, the Warriors would have an excuse.

NO EXCUSE FOR YOU Warriors! Hahaha.

 

I guess Barkley was right about jump shooting teams. Doesn't work in playoffs except last year when every team they played was injured.

 

That will be there excuse this year that they wasn't fully healthy.

 

What an overreaction. Westbrook is tough for anyone to handle, but Curry has turned himself into at least an above average defender at the pg position.

Edit: I actually thought Curry did the best out of those that took a shot at guarding Westbrook (Livingston, Igoudala, Thompson & Green on switches also did), and the stats confirm that.

Westbrook shot 2-9 when Curry was his primary defender.

 

I fucking hate Westbrook and all the dick riding Mark Jackson was giving him during this and last season. Christ it was so bad.

KD is pretty damn good though and I like his persona on court.

But does that outweigh the GSW trolls and band wagoners? Because the GSW fan base here reminds me of the Ducks fan base. I think it does, actually....so fuck GSW go OKC!

 

That is a major downside to this: Mark Jackson will be made happy by a Golden State loss.

 

No, please, not my type.

While I think Green should have been suspended, I agree with those who say they are (almost) glad he wasn't. No excuses, they can't say they got stomped because they were missing a player. They may say that this mess, waiting to hear, all the attention, was a distraction. But the Warriors have only themselves to blame. Green openly said he likes being the villain, the guy who gets booed, it motivates him. His dirty play, flopping, whining have been going on for much longer than this postseason. But in the regular season a team plays an opponent once and moves on. In playoffs they play at least four games, all nationally televised and analyzed six ways to Sunday, so the behavior is more noticeable. But he has not changed. This is what he's like. The Warriors have enabled his behavior, from front office to coaching staff to teammates to local broadcast and print media.

I am not a believer but I have read the bible. Something about you have sowed the wind and must reap the whirlwind.

All my colleagues are moaning about "what happened? This is not supposed to happen".

Go Blazers.

 

Look for Curry to live at the free throw line in game 5. Right or wrong the refs are calling the game differently than they did during our series and during the regular season. Yes OKC is playing excellent defense, but that little clip they showed during the game last night on how they were defending him, might end up hurting OKC. Just like it did last year in the Cleveland series when they showed how Dellavedova was guarding him in the first two games of the series. When Curry continually is getting hit/held going through the lane, it takes a toll. Just like it did on CJ during the Clipper series. Playoff basketball? I suppose but I think it should be called the same as the regular season.

This reminds me of the Memphis series a couple of years ago with the Blazers. I guess you could say the Grizz forced the refs to swallow their whistles, but none the less the games were called differently.

I will say I am getting tired of Iguodala still getting the call when he flops after a player sets a pick on him.

 

More Green drama. He did this last night. If the league retroactively gives him a flagrant, he'll be suspended by default.

 

Durant is making a whole lotta jump shots though

 

Ugh. That guy is unbearable.

 

Tough shit. I'm not making our Clippers win illegitimate to hate on Golden State.

 

Oh man that is 100% insufferable.

 

He's damned close to joining CP3 in terms of his bullshit flopping. Fucking insufferable.

 

Whoa!

 

All true but for Pete's sake, if GSW even thinks about going with the too much attention/distraction route as the reason they got smashed then they're way more weak mentally than any of us could've imagined. This is supposed to be the best team ever, right? 2 time reigning (and now unanimous) MVP, best guard combo in the league, stacked at every position, genius coach (and asst coach), do it all point-center, blah blah blah. All that and you can't handle a little negative pub?
