0fficial 2017-2018 NBA Postseason Thread....NBA Finals Cavs vs Warriors 0-4(dubs back 2 back champs)

So it's just the Warriors getting in their own way? Rockets defense has nothing at all to do with anything?

NOPE
that's not what I'm saying at all
I am saying that we're not running our offense
we are mirroring your offense and trying to beat you at your own game which makes no sense.
The rockets can guard fake action don't sag off of shooters and guard the ISO play
you've practiced against it ALL YEAR LONG
and for some unknown reason we're doing just that. it's not dictated to do those things its stupidity.
 
You still been setting them we just been switching off them. Lol.

Nah not at all
not that fake action get a match up iso bullshit
the kind of screens that get people open the ones that let people roll to the basket for layups and get klay thompson open shots because of movement by him and others.
we've done that twice this series.
 
Like heat fans when the heat were dominating....most warriors fans round here are just band wagoners....

When the Bulls dominated the 90's they had the most bandwagoners in NBA history. After 98 they scattered like roaches.

And Heat fans genuinely liked the Heat. Save for largebills and a few others, most of the people on their wave dont even really like the Warriors truthfully. They root for them out of convenience. Thats why you dont see Golden State banners in sigs and shit like you have for other championship teams in the past (Celtics, Lakers, Heat) on the board. Even with all the success they've had. Thats why no one ever defends them in all time discussions. A lot of people jumped on their wave to see them beat LeBron, they became a haven for that, and once they no longer serve that purpose, well, you know. :yes:
 
Cats will trot out 4 all nba guys
when 1 of them can't get his own shot consistently unless we're running the fluid offense
and the other can't be depended on to drop 16 points a night
and both of them "ain't shit" on another team

until its time to prop them up to write a narrative lol

I don't have sigs turned on and couldn't tell you what sig I do have at this point.
But other than that I'm here win or loss
during the season not so much because the shit is long and niggas got shit to do
but for the playoffs every year even when we blew a 3-1 lead after game 7 guess who was congratulating and posting?


I also KNOW for a fact a lot of the hate is cause cats who you don't listen to in any other instance you take their words as gospel and use it against the warriors

if one of them cats said harden this or lebron that you'd be like fuck out of here

then they say some shit about the warriors you use it whether it be positive or negative against these cats


like the same cats from a couple years ago talking about basketball is trash and we need to get back to the fundamentals

hate a team that prides itself on playing good defense running a fluid motion offense while sharing the basketball and shooting consistent and good jump shots lol

where that make sense at?

Warriors are Mike Tyson (if they can’t stun you with haymakers) you can beat them with counter punches

Harden gag reflex is back 0-11 from 3pt line ?

Overall bad shooting night for both teams BUT Houston is hungrier

Can we finally give the Rockets defense some credit?

Physically beating Warriors. PROPS

Whatever happened to Durrant is the number 1 scorer in the nba and no one can stop him?

It’s a lie that passive aggressively attacks Lebron.

He has 1 point in last 2 4th quarters ?!?

I said the exact same thing. 98% of the league is afraid of them, scared to get knocked out early. But if you survive those uppercuts the first few rounds, they not really built to go the distance and box. They will either wear down or get frustrated with refereeing and you can knock em out. :yes:

I feel for Cp3, dude was playing with all heart. You could tell he wanted this more than anyone after all those years with the Clippers & getting ran out the gym by GS.

Rockets gotta win this for him. If James Harden really is the MVP he gets two tries to prove it. Can you win a game at this point without cp? I think hes gonna step up. Cant play no worse than he did last night.

Yeah can't play any worse... At least he kept shooting & attacking unlike the way he disappeared against the Spurs in that close out game last year.

Harden made 2 key defensive plays down the stretch guarding Curry and getting a block on Durant so it's not that he's not competing.
 
NBA Playoffs: LeBron James warning sent to Celtics by Paul Pierce
BOSTON CELTICS should be wary of a backlash from LeBron James in Game 6 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

GETTY

LeBron James has work to do in Game 6 against Celtics
Those are the thoughts of former Celtics star-turned-pundit Paul Pierce.

James top-scored with 26 points on 11-of-22 shooting and had 10 rebounds and five assists too.

But the four-time MVP couldn’t help as the Cavs slipped to a 96-83 defeat at TD Garden in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

After trailing by 13 points from the first quarter, Cavs looked a little jaded.

James has been to the NBA Finals for the past seven years, and Pierce thinks he’s well placed to do so again and reckons he thrives in times of adversity.

Paul Pierce thinks LeBron James will come out firing in Game 6
eltics have to be mentally and physically ready to withstand LeBron, because he’s gonna leave it all out there

Paul Pierce

“When his back's against the wall he’s gonna step up just like the 2008 game,” Pierce said.

“Celtics have to be mentally and physically ready to withstand LeBron, because he’s gonna leave it all out there.

“Just like in Game 6 when he was with Miami Heat in 2012, he came to Boston and put one of his greater games on.

He not missing game 7

We gotta stay strong.

Lock in on our assignments.

I like PJ tucker reply to his shitty game 4. He was solid and shows toughness.

Gerald green hit some tough and difficult shots.

Ariza needs to be shooting with Kobe in the gym ASAP.

Eric Gordon keep gunning and do what u do. I need 30 out u in game 6.

Capela keep eating and showing a tough paint presence. Don’t let them get shit. No Ribs No rice no champagne, nothing nigga.

Harden, last but not least. You are the fucking MVP. This is your TEAM. Your Moment. I need almost 50 or 60 out of you. This game seals your fate into who u really are. A basketball player or a Hooper. Show the fuck up.

EDIT: Mike D antoni, you are a fucking Olympic coach. U have a offense that the whole league is still trying to copy. This game seals your hall of fame status and the rest of how your life will be moving forward.

God bless
