Well its sports, and just because you match up well doesn't mean your going to win... There is match ups and then there is execution, you have to first match up vs the Warriors but the hardest part is executing against them... This is why all my comments are based on match ups, but at the end of the day the game is played on the floor so its what they do "how they execute" that counts the most and no one has a crystal ball to determine what happens there..

Here are some numbers.... http://espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/teamstats ......

The Offensive efficiency of GS is whats killing everybody..... slowing the game down and giving them less possessions means that your going to have less possessions also...... in other words, like somebody said, you cant trade 2's for 3's and expect to get the W...

I put my bread on GS to win the West and I wish I would have put more. I had OKC and GS in the West finals. But the dubs are o fire.

Fuck it imma say it. If GS goes back to back, the Lebron era is over

The Lebron era was over when he left Miami and went to Cleveland bringing along Love.. Love is a straight up bitch

Inkosi now just 12 rebounds (6,660) behind MJ (6,672) for #120 on the all time rebounds list. James has played 931 games, Jordan played in 1,072. James has led 4 of his teams in rebounding, Jordan led his team once (his rookie season).

Your assuming that a slower paced team is having the same amount of possession as GS. If GS is averaging 102 possessions a game, a team coming in averaging 95 possessions a game will not have less playing GS. They're either going to maintain their average of 95 or increase their possession amount playing GS's style.

Mavs insist on scrapping for a playoff spot to be food for the Sharks when we need to be looking for a young star in the making to draft

Y'all didn't even make the playoffs

Be quiet when real teams are talking

Scram nigga

The top teams in the Western conference have all had a bad sta except for GS & SA. Memphis grind out style ain't gonna do it and they still haven't addressed their perimeter shooting issues. Clippers I think will get it together but they aren't going to take down GS. I still think that OKC can give GS a run for their money if healthy. At this point SA is probably the Warriors only threat in the West.

SA ain't no threat to GS or a healthy OKC you know by? SA cannot handle dynamic PG play

SA's back court going to get roasted

How would they decrease GS's avg.

These
So how do you reduce their possessions without stretching the shot clock? GS only going 14 secs into the shot clock no matter what you do on the other end.

A team would reduce the possessions of GS by shooting late in the shot clock (7 seconds or less). That's a 7 second difference that can add up over the course of the game. Now if a team was to shoot 14 second within the shot clock like GS, then GS will continue to have a lot of possessions along with their high efficiency. The idea is by a slow paced team being efficient late in the shot clock will put more pressure on the high volume team that shoots shots early in the shot clock to remain efflient at a slower pace. That's only if that slower paced team is efficient and disciplined to stick to the game plan and not panick when GS goes on those runs.

 

[Day_Carver]

Exactly what math do you think I'm talking about?

A team that averages most of their shots during the first 6 seconds of the shot clock versus a team that averages most of their shots in the last 7 seconds in the shot clock is overall going to put out less points because their are less possessions between both teams.

Rates versus efficiency. That's the math I'm talking about. Do you understand rates? Or frequencies? Serious question. Do I expect teams to be able to excute this type of plan. Unlikely. A teams pounding in the inside has to have supplementary shooters on the outside in order for it to work.

My philosophy of basketball is quite simple. There is nothing complicated about GS. Teams do not know how to stick to a game plan, which is you can't out run them.

Who said anything is complicated about GS?? Who said anything is complicated about what they are doing?? I understand rates and frequencies and your math but none of that matters; I repeat it doesnt matter; It boils down to matchups and execution, which your boy roadrage said(cant believe im agreeing with him lol); and no one in the league can match GS backcourt on a consistent basis, overwhelming majority of teams cant match GS frontcourt, and no team can match GS bench; I havent seen one team thats even close to them and Ive watched all the teams play multiple times this year; Basketball is simple and GS is head and shoulders above every team this year right now...

Ok so please tell me what "slower pace" team is going to beat GS in a 7 game series??

Mavs vs Hawks seems to be a weird national game lol

So giving GS less possessions to score is your philosophy of beating GS?? That wont work by any means because GS can play a halfcourt game easily as well; Plus their offense consistently breaks down the defense with their shooters ability to stretch the floor; It really doesnt matter the pace; What you are saying really means nothing; If a team can not dominant GS backcourt they will lose over the course of the series; You have to make both Curry and Thompson spend tremendous amounts of energy on the defensive end; And no team can consistently do that; Plus all teams on spending tremendous amounts of energy trying to guard both of them which in turn affects their offense; Im not going to even talk about their frontcourt because teams cant get passed their backcourt

Dude, all I'm doing is thinking like a coach and former ball player. I'm fully aware that teams do not match up well with them in the league. I like looking for possible solutions against good teams like GS. It's no different than what folks did with Miami. Your saying that nothing matters because NO team can match up, fine but that does not mean that they are above looking for solutions. I gave my philosophy and you feel they don't matter. That's cool. You have to have personnel to pull off certain strategies. My slow pace philosophy is tailored for decreasing their scoring amount by giving them less possession based on using the shot clock. If they are able to remain just as efficient with talking less shots, then fine. But I rather try to limit them to making 11 3s versus 15 solely because there wasn't enough possessions in the game to maintain the volumes efficiency. That's a 12 points difference.

 

[Smoke Van Gundy]

On the flip side. The Rockets and the Clippers have officially shut the fuck up

 

[Smoke Van Gundy]

I never been a fan of K Love. Doesnt play D and never healthy. GS was thinking of trading for K Love til Jerry West made an O.G call. Cavs needed somebody to say no. This Cav team with Wiggins would be insane

Popovich. Will dissect. Find their weakness. And exploit.

IT IS WHAT IT IS, how many of Pippen's rings that MJ is wearing did he win over Bron?

We used to get resumes posted, now all we get is ring counts from 20 years ago.

Yeah, but your posting obscure stats trying troll and making an ass out of yourself tho... And that historic LeBron choke I posted wasn't 20 years ago. LeBron cost his team a finals, constantly watched teams celebrate chips after kicking his ass, last year on his home court.... Yeah, he can have that 'team' rebounding leader chip tho.... Huge accomplishment

Your bullshit trolling attempt is corny and weak, let LeBron at least get to .500 in finals with his borderline Jim Kelly ass and then you can MAYBE entertain a debate with the LEGEND

West saved GS from that shit lol, and yes Wiggins on the cavs with Bron and the like would've been crazy

Its not obscure stats. Rebounding is an important facet of basketball. It just highlights Bron is a better all around player. More versatile, anyone who cant concede that at this point is stanning MJ HARD. And Jordan has cost his team 2nd round appearances and chances to make the playoffs. MJ didn't win any of his rings against Bron so that's really 1 of the weakest arguments ever. Its an OK argument against the guys in his era who he actually faced. BUT, if he had a LeBron in his era he wouldn't have 6 rings. And Bron's career is far from over so...

LeBrons run ended when he left Miami. How many rings does he have without Wade and Bosh again? And all those if's don't mean shit! 6-0 Nigga, deal with it! All LeBron has left is end of year plea coppin when his choking ass fails again and again... Oh, if so and so was healthy or if the coach had done this and that or oh, he don't get no calls. The rest of his career will be full of hollow stats if his high mileage body don't break down first. Fools back is already giving him issues...

Dude has a whole lot of mileage on him, and other teams and players are rising up. He blew a lot of his chances getting shit on by them Mavs, disappearing and getting clowned for it, and then watching helplessly while the Spurs historically trashed his ass.. It's even debatable if he's the best player in the league right now, which was NEVER the case when Air was in his prime. You keep on with your trolling Bruh, that's what you do, but one thing LeBeon will NEVER be able to erase is all those fucking Ls in the finals, getting blown the fuck out and his series long choke Job. 6-0. 6 finals MVPs, never even went to a fucking game 7 in the finals.... Yeah, like I said, you and Incubus can have all those bullshit obscure stats.... His Airness has something LeChoke will NEVER achieve, FINALS perfection!!! ...but, he's led his team in rebounding a few times tho.... FOH

 

[ShadyPat]

good win for my Celtics even though we played like shit...

 

[ak_rep]

Pacers are better than I thought or maybe the league is just wack. But they're looking like a playoff team thus far. Still gotta close out games better. That Utah game should've been won. They can make a statement out East on Friday. We'll see.

And Mavs fans thought they were in for the lottery. Looks like they've found something that's working. Don't know how it's going to play out in the long run. But they are competing.

And it's still early.
