Official NBA 2016-2017 Thread - 30 teams, 1 goal. 2 weeks left, so much can happen!!

Wow I just checked ESPN and the GS blew a lead. I didn't see the game but did the shots stop falling? This is my issue with GS if the shots aren't falling what you do?
 
We're here because Kerr thinks he's Phil Jackson.
As soon as they score 3 buckets stop the game and put them away- Call a timeout and get them into a good play- don't let momentum carry over.
Warriors only attempted 13 shots in a quarter and it wasn't because of incredible defense it was lazy play
Also they stopped running the offense. Everything is ISO or pick and roll no ball movement
Also Curry's Low bball I.Q. reared it's ugly head
Memphis shouldn't be in overtime right now. It should've been a route but when the coach lets your team turn the ball over and never stops it this is what happens

Man I had to check to see who posted this. Damn Bills u laying Into cheatcode
 
They depend on so much speed and energy and are so small that if you can keep pace with them and survive their early blows, once they slow down they become very vulnerable Durant has a history of burning out and so does Curry.. This is something they most address especially with the Cavs loading up and getting deeper.

Nope
that's not it.
They don't depend on speed and energy
they just need to run the offense. they did not. it's simple.
at the end they didn't run any plays to get assists all baskets were unassisted instead of the usual offensive flow
that's just simply coaching. run the offense and get a good shot and kerr didn't demand it he just let whatever was gonna happen happen and it cost them the game.
 
nope
that's not it at all.
no analysis needed
they relaxed and kerr didn't stay on top of them to run the offense that's all there is to it.
Ever shoot with tired legs or try driving while tired, well thats exactly how it looks.
Curry and Durant have a very small build and you cannot expect them to play at the break neck tempo for 40 mins vs bigger physical teams.
 
Wow I just checked ESPN and the GS blew a lead. I didn't see the game but did the shots stop falling? This is my issue with GS if the shots aren't falling what you do?

shots didn't stop falling
they only attempted 12 shots in the 4th quarter
that's just outright lazy basketball
12 attempts from the warriors.
in an entire quarter
and it was turnovers and just generally stupid plays that did it. not crazy defense.

they don't need to shoot or drive if they run the offense which is the entire point so like i said don't give me a page full of psuedo analysis that's done. it's not right and rooted in fiction not fact, mr durant will only average 17 points a game and isn't a good fit in the offense.
 
Funny most of y'all wasn't up in here when the Warriors were up 20 but of course show up when the game got close. I hate Kerr's rotations. It gets the team out of sync. He'd rather stick with his predetermined minute schedule than go with the flow of the game. His coaching is good early but absolutely sucks in crunch time. Gasol and ZBo feasting on the small lineup but you don't counter with McGee or Zaza? To start OT you send Durant to jump it with Gasol and let them have the first possession of OT.... the Warriors better learn how to close out a fucking game if they want to make it back to the finals. These niggas do every fucking thing they can to fuck up a game down the stretch and not close it out.

Was scary to see them be that careless with the ball in the 4th qtr :smh:

I'm always going to be honest cause lying don't help
He was feeling it then abandoned the offense and took shots he had no business taking.
instead of just running the offense he tried to hit dagger shots when they weren't needed. every dagger shot he hit has always been in the flow of the offense
the entire offense is ball movement screens and getting a good look and they didn't do it in the 4th or overtime.
individual talent vs the collective.
its the same reason they were in game 7 down by 3 and didn't run the offense instead they ran an iso to curry and watched him dribble it for 15 seconds and then take a contested shot
and this is 100% on kerr.
and it's the same thing i been saying for 3 years.
 
Low key Durant lost them that game.. with 20 secs left in regulation he took a 3pt shot against Zbo when he should have taken that shit to the hole..

Once he missed that shit I knew GS was losing that game lmaoo

That and Kerr being a shitty ass coach, Warriors should have given it to Walton instead

I only watched OT, but

Would I be wrong if I say This warriors team gonna have to Learn how to grind games out. This Memphis club is the masters of that shit.

But their base offense that then run goes at 100 mph, but in the late 4th they was moving half that speed.
Like I said when they was up big they should have used their bench more so that Durant and Curry could rest a little. Once they slowed down then Memphis was able to use their physicality, and the more they used it, the more the Warriors tired.

They pretty much became bored and showed no energy. Last season they played with something to prove and now they playing like they just want to get to the playoffs

I think so. They played in so many lopsided games until they don't really know how to finish games
 
Same thing as in the Cavs game, they are going to have to trust their bench more because Durant and Curry cannot match big mins vs bigger and more physical players.
Not that all you dumb fuck. Green and Iggy turned the ball over 3 times within a minute left to go... turnovers is why they lost to the Cavs on Christmas. I don't even know why I'm quoting this cz your bitch ass puts anyone on ignore that tells you how much of a basketball clown you are.

It's a simple formula
I shouldn't even have to type it but I will for 2017
Run the offense play defense don't turn the ball over =warriors win every single time.
when they were playing solid defense running the offense and weren't turning it over how many points were they up against memphis- shit everybody for that matter- christmas day up 14 in the 4th.
then they have the bad habit of just relaxing visibly. getting out hustled. all of the ugly things they shouldn't do, they do it sometimes because they're human.
that's when the coach is supposed to call a timeout and lay into them and say finish this game the right way but kerr never does. he just lets whatever happens happens.
he needs to get people out of the game and he needs to switch his rotations.
mcgee would've been great tonight
put him on gasol and let green guard zbo mcgee is more athletic than gasol so he ain't going nowhere and he can clean up the glass
but he insists on playing iffy iggy
iggy at this point will have a good night or a bad night and you won't know it until he's been on the floor for 5 minutes
as soon as he shows he doesn't have it take him off the floor but he doesn't
he gift wrapped the cavs game and this game did you even notice he was on the court? No cause he wasn't playing good defense- nobody for him to guard- and wasn't making plays for the offense or hitting shots= useless.

Man the Warriors was blowing them out of the water before they burned out. Memphis cannot match the tempo of the Warriors, but to me once they went to OT only Green had any type of energy and he fouled out after that it was a wrap.
 
I always liked that one-two punch with Gasol and Bo. High post, low post. Doesn't always work, but they can do some damage.


Man I love that shit, I hated watching the Heat face y'all(West and Hibbert).

It's like that same shit in football, all that spread this spread that, when Nick Saban come with a beast and pound the living shot outta your ass you gonna wish your was playing spread.

Memphis probably in the past was offense, the defense was there Zbo and Marc would do them but I'm looking for other names to type and I can't seem to find any.
 
Nope

Kerr needs to make one simple change that will help his team. When the offense gets stagnant simply run the pick and roll with Curry and Durant.

For the life of me I don't understand why Kerr refuses to run a pick and Roll.

I told cats that losing Bogut & Ezeli will end up hurting the Warriors a little bit. Kerr will have to actually coach this year especially on the defensive side.

run the offense and they get a good shot every trip
he doesn't demand that they run the offense. if they run it they can get a 3 or a 2 and doesn't need to be a 1 on 1

nah like i said.
the 2nd unit was sloppy and kerr didn't stop the game
and they didn't run the offense we're used to seeing. the offense doesn't take that much energy now especially since there's 3 shooters don't need to run off screens just run off sides.

They wasn't relaxing they was doing what Roy Jones Jr. did after he lost his speed, same moves but at a slower tempo and much different results.
Notice the teams they have problems with Memphis, Cavs and Spurs all have bigger teams who can wear you out.
The Warriors have players but they have to trust to play them if not they may break down again in the playoffs.

That ain't it either.
Mcgee is on the bench that's who he needs to play. Bogut and Ezili ain't even healthy so that wouldn't have helped them tonight they'd been out there with mo speights
He insists on not changing his rotations
the lineup tonight was starting 4 plus mcgee. that solves every issue you might think they'd have. he's a 7 footer and athletic so if you put him on gasol gasol isn't going anywhere on the drive put him on zbo he's already towering over him and it's a tougher shot.
there's no reason to have iggy on the court

It is very simple and we spoke about this before. When shots are not falling and the offense is stagnant just run the pick and roll with Curry and Durant.

'

Listen. you can't tell me what they were doing when I know this team way better than you.
They relaxed and got lazy and stopped running the offense in favor of playing hero ball
that's really all there is to it.
 
nah like i said.
the 2nd unit was sloppy and kerr didn't stop the game
and they didn't run the offense we're used to seeing. the offense doesn't take that much energy now especially since there's 3 shooters don't need to run off screens just run off sides.
Well if their 2nd unit is that sloppy they are in real trouble, because Irving wears out Curry, and LeBron wears out Durant, they cannot shorten the bench vs the Cavs when they shorten the bench because the Cavs players are way too physical and athletic to expect the slight Curry and Durant to match them for mins while playing a physical game.
 
I'm always going to be honest cause lying don't help

and this is 100% on kerr.
and it's the same thing i been saying for 3 years.
You just described the Warriors problem. You have Curry and Durant, use them!

Fuck the motion offense down the stretch. Run a Durant and Curry pick and roll and let them work.
