No they're not, they also don't pass as well or play great tram defense. Those other teams just look at the scoring.

They aren't?

Who is a better shooter than Steph from all levels?

And are Reggie Miller or Ray Allen scoring damn near 40 points in a quarter?

 

[Complex]

Portland should really consider a trade to shake shit up.

They need a 3 or 4

CJ and Lillard are fine. They don't have the pieces around them.

Kobe Bryant has not made a single clutch shot in the final five seconds of a game in almost three years. Thirteen straight misses, which if you like sound effects goes something like BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG, BONG. BONG.

In you expand the definition of clutch to include the last five minutes of a game with the margin at five points or less, it does not help. This is generally referred to as "crunch time." Some announcers have been known to call it "Kobe Time." In "Kobe Time," our protagonist is shooting 35 percent this season. That is the fifth lowest figure among 22 high-frequency crunch-time shooters. For comparison's sake, Monta Ellis is at 56 percent on such shots this season.

That sweet midrange tho. Not jacking up threes.

 

[pookie]

I didn't think they needed KD to beat Portland

All the “NBA experts” on ESPN/FS1/TNT said they couldn’t beat the Rockets without KD and then said they couldn’t or would have a hard time beating Portland without KD. They said it’s a FACT that they won’t beat the Bucks without KD

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

I know it won't be mentioned but that's what you call heart.
And at the end you can see a team playing together who like each other and care about each other and winning.

That last part is true

Huh?

 

[2 ONE 3]

Portland needs to give dame and cj help


Besides them no one is a consistent scorer or able to get off their own shot

 

[D'Evils]

Portland got punched in the mouth by one of Golden State's runs and no massed

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Bruh these niggas are killers

Steph, Klay & Dray

absolutely.

 

[pookie]

That last part is true

We will see, give me a reason you believe that

 

[M.H.C.]

looks like those manicures and pedicures ain’t going to help CJ this time around. I take it I won’t be seeing no tweets in a couple of days.

 

[SIDESHOW]

Mark Jackson just said the Blazes need to....

 

[TooTrilla]

We will see, give me a reason you believe that

U already know why I believe that

Nah, they're young and playing in the wcf. No need to break up their core. Nurkic(15pts/10 rb) is out, so they're shorthanded. They need to add depth and scoring, but this is good experience for them. Oh...and play some gotdamn defense.

 

[Complex]

Golden State makes it so Portland can't even play their third best scorer in Kanter.

Honestly teams in the west need to build their teams towards Golden State where they can have a 4/5 who can guard Green or Loony/Bell.

 

[REDLINE]

Shit, they might be the two best shooters of all time.

The problem are teaming copying them, but they aren't them.

They aren't?

Who is a better shooter than Steph from all levels?

And are Reggie Miller or Ray Allen scoring damn near 40 points in a quarter?

You either read my statement wrong or I didn't word it correctly.

I was piggybacking off your statement about teams trying to copy the Warriors formula. Teams look at the scoring but not the defense, passing and all around effort.

 

[D'Evils]

Are y'all forgeting Portland lost their 3rd best player in Nurkic....

They weren't suppose to be here to begin with...

 

[Give Me 3ft.]

All the “NBA experts” on ESPN/FS1/TNT said they couldn’t beat the Rockets without KD and then said they couldn’t or would have a hard time beating Portland without KD. They said it’s a FACT that they won’t beat the Bucks without KD

I've already put $ on them

With or without kd to win it

All!

 

[4 Dimensional]

These mutha fuckas don’t even got KD playing.

I absurdly despise the Warriors.

 

[easy_b]

Let’s go warriors

 

[TooTrilla]

I've already put $ on them

With or without kd to win it

All!

 

[pookie]

U already know why I believe that

Lol...I just noticed the GB flag

 

[Complex]

They play faster when KD's not playing

I can't say they're better without KD

but they are better without Cousins

You have to give Kerr credit, he's keying on Dame on defense and making him uncomfortable.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Are y'all forgeting Portland lost their 3rd best player in Nurkic....

Fuck all that
they got through 2 rounds they dominated the thunder they slugged it out and won a game 7 on the road. They won a ton of games without Nurkic they ain't just lose him they lost him during the season and didn't miss a beat.
so no none of that.

 

[BrownTurd]

I completely agree

The stupid ass analytics crowd always with the "three is more than two" shit. Sure, WHEN YOU CAN HIT IT!! Ask Houston how that works.

Steph and Klay make shooting threes work because they are on done GOAT shit.

Kobe even pointed out that these guys have ready layups and pass out for three. Kobe said he would have gotten benched doing that shit.

Also the Warriors are the 8th in 3 point attempts in the NBA and have 3 of the best shooters of all time. Like Chuck mentioned, why are 7 other teams taking more 3’s

Golden State does not mind taking the mid range

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Klay thompson is only 1 year older than damian lillard and 2 years older than cj mculloh
