yeah this game is overIt's raining in Oakland.
tougher to guard is curry. because he can pull up from anywhere. with westbrook the option is to pray that his jumper is off. if his jumper is on there's nothing you could do to stop him anyway
Horford was his man. At in bound a pick came. Beal switched and instead of switching back to Horford, Nene went to help on the driving guard. Instead of going for the block, he watched the ball and half assed no looked blocked out whoever was behind him. He never accounted for his man or made sure he had a body on a actual person. He was essentially just standing there looking up at the loose ball. Then he somehow falls down for no reason and continues to look up at the ball and play.Watch the replay again.. he boxed out Milsap (Pierce's man)
Horford wasn't even in the lane when the shot went up
I don't disagree about Nene's effort or that Gortat & Gooden should've been in
Fucking unforgivable man.
It's a wrap for the Grizzlies this series

The reason why I say Westbrook is tougher is because there is no answer for speed, and that with Westbrook you need to double and triple team him.. With Curry either he hits or he doesn't he can hit a ton of shots and still have like 18 points, Westbrook can drop 45 like its nothing...
However Curry game is best suited for his system and is able to win more games and make his team better..
effort
its rooted in hopelessness. you stay back and westbrook and hope he bricks. but if he's in one of those attack the rim moods then id much rather guard curry . would be pretty hard to foul out guarding curry. you'd be on the bench for most of the game trying to stop westbrook from getting to the rim
he's just like iverson in THAT regard. if you stopped either one of them from getting to the rim its because you fouled them period.
The veteran Iggy steppin up tonight. He's +23 right now.
Steph rarely scores over 30 and Westbrook can do that with his eyes closed... Steph can make his defender look like a fool, while Westbrook can make your whole team look like a fool... But at the end of the day, Westbrook would look more spectacular in a loss while Curry will look smooth as hell in a win..
nah we're not going to go there lol. like 1 person had the deepest team in the league while the other was literally out there without anybody of note and dion waters.
don't forget he inherited a squad that was 12 games under .500 when he got it... and ibaka and reggie jackson didn't miss ANY time
It was a wrap for the Grizzles when GS won the other night!!...GS plays like this no one left in the playoffs is beating them...
This that Golden State basketball right here. They're defending, they're getting out, them 3's is dropping, the crowd is lit.
The difference is that even when Westbrook played on a deep team his play never transfer to the team, while Curry can play good with in the system of his team.. This is why I say Westbrook is harder to stop, but then again why would you even want to stop him when you can beat his team even when he puts up monster numbers..
Nigga stop
U and I know this going 7
Enjoy the win
I don't know if Memphis has been as lethargic as they have looked the last 2 games or the Warriors are just blowing them away making them look that way
But they better pick it up or they going home, on their home court game 6
we'll have this conversation in another thread let's focus on the current players in action.
if the warriors give maximum effort they'll win it all. games 2 and 3 they were not going full throttle and it showed.
they get open looks now because they're hustling. they're moving the ball. they're getting out on break. the game is too fast for memphis. memphis plays the same way every single game.
Nigga stop

What makes you think its going 7??? What has Memphis done to make you or anyone else think that?? Dude this series is over!! And if something magical happens for it to go 7 it wont matter; GS and the Clips in the next round...book it!!
There is only one way to beat the Warriors and Memphis don't have the tools to pull it off... You have to take away one of the following, their three point shooting, their rebounds, and their ability to get their other players not named Curry and Thompson...
You can give them their 3point shots, because thats what they do, but you have to slow down the other shit, plus you have to be able to hit three's on the other end and must be able to grab the long rebounds when they miss and push the ball up the floor attacking the rim if they try to crash the boards to hard..
And what team thats left in the playoffs can do that consistently??? for 4 games???..im saying no team left...
The MVP gives you 18 points (37.5%), 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 steals in 32 minutes tonight. Great all around game.
Memphis problem is they can not score, GS put up on 98 points, if you have a team that can put up more and play as well defense you will win...
To me there are only two teams that can beat GS thats the Cavs and the Clippers..
that doesn't sound like any team left playing in these playoffs on either side.
Cavs dont play good enough defense; and Kyrie is hurt; and no Love; they not beating GS...
Clips defense is worst than the Cavs, plus they only have won favorable matchup and thats griffin; GS is better at every other position and bench; Clips wont beat them either...
they held them to 70 something...
the warriors play better when they play good aggressive defense. it fuels their offense.
Cavs can match up well vs the other players, and have the size and physicality to disrupt Thompson's game... Curry isn't going to score more than 30 so what it will come down to is who gets the offensive rebounds and what Irving and LeBron is able to put up...
Cavs dont match up well with them; Only match they win is LBJ at the small forward spot; Other than that Curry will abuse kyrie on the offensive end and they have no one to guard Thompson; And they have no one to guard Green either; Plus kyrie is hurt and he has no time to heal; His injury will get worse before it gets better; no chance Cavs beat GS...
Grizzlies playing themselves trying to win games putting up 80 or 90 points.
You can't predict injuries, by then it could get better or it can get worse, I am basing my opinion on what they have now, and what I saw from them when they played last time..
I feel ya but Im basing my opinion on what I see now; Kyrie isnt healthy and the chances of him getting back healthy with no rest, not good; Cavs are struggling to beat the bulls; No Love is huge; Plus GS is a better team than when they played last time; I think the injury to Mo is a blessing in disguise for GS; It allows them to get Lee back into the flow; And he good coming of the bench; To me GS is the best team left in the playoffs; Only team I thought could beat them going into the playoffs was the Spurs; I just think when GS plays like this, its curtains for everyone; Memphis woke them up, and now I think its all down hill for everyone else...
So u just gonna ignore that we won two but we dont have a chance
GS busted that ass gm 1 without Conley
MG responded back with two good wins
GS adjusted,grabbing two convincing wins themselves
We heading back on our home floor,We gonna play alot better
Both teams did what they are suppose to do in terms of splitting on the road
Did not shock me on bit GS snatched g5,they were suppose to do that @home
MG will win Gm6 and the pressure will be squarely on GS
see ya Friday,or shall i say Sunday

when you look at the stats.. state still hasn't had a game where they "went off"
all the shots they're making now is due to more hustle and speeding up the game. thompson had what 21 points? curry only had 18... and you getting blown out.
IF warriors keep up the effort...meaning contesting shots, playing defense, diving for the balls, battling for rebounds then they'll get extra possessions...extra possessions= memphis worst nightmare.
