Yeah NO take this inevitable series L as a learning experience. They should swing for the fences and get a real dynamic perimeter guard-forward.

Cleveland will win the East but if the Warriors make it out the West (which they should), Cleveland won't beat them. Cleveland's defense isn't good enough to stop all the weapons on the Warriors.
From what I'm seeing, Anthony Davis might need to leave NO if they can't make moves. Kid is an amazing talent and has ice water in his veins! NO fought their asses off and have nothing to be ashamed of!

Agreed he's gonna need to dip or do the carmelo stay get money and lose
Yeah. He's the real deal.
Wizards gonna own the raptors. Wizards have been here before they're only going to play better. Wall didn't even have a good game.
Warriors coaching inexperience showed, he let them take the foot off the gas and played cute with the lineup and allowed them to make this a game when it shouldn't have been.
Looking forward to these next 2 games, especially Houston Vs Dallas. Those teams don't like each other and we get to see if Harden is going to show up or be smedium and if Rondo is going to make a difference or not
Portland is not going to beat the Grizzlies i don't think. Lillard and Aldridge are the only advantages. they won't get swept
Clippers gotta be mad as FUCK i mean really really mad. I think the Spurs can win this round

they already made plenty of moves. Got Asik in there got Evans in there Got Holliday from you guys in there got Gordon
they're just really really really really young, coach included. It takes time but they got the nucleus to do some shit in the future. He doesn't have to go anywhere imo. Just over the next couple of years get them a wing shooter that can hit that 3 consistently.. a big one and it's curtains for the west.
Very true big guy. Hopefully Jrue and Tyreke can stay healthy
the warriors should have put this game away midway thru the 4th quarter.
but a jump shooting team like the warriors always lets you back in.
fuck around and get cold from 3pt land and Nola could steal one in cali.
Simple adjustment that NO can make is to limit the time that Davis and Asik spend on the court together
I mean GSW is still gonna give them that work but...

I don't really see a purpose for Asik in this particular series. If they were playing the Grizzlies? Yea
I agree..Asik will hinder their spacing so he should only really play when Davis is on the bench.
Davis, Anderson at the 4 and mix and match the rest
The issue is that Draymond will have a field day in that matchup with Anderson.
And Klay and Steph will be themselves
GSW has them beat on a talent and execution standpoint
I see a sweep to be honest
Agreed. I think Davis is good enough to get 1 in New Orleans if the warriors don't play their style of ball. If they GO for the sweep will say a lot about their state of mind going forward
I don't even know how they get one. If they get one its either gonna be game 2...they may can catch the Warriors napping but shit they don't matchup well with the Warriors at all. I wanted to see them in the post season but the Thunder would've been a more entertaining series. Pelicans and the Spurs or Grizzlies would've been a far better match up for them.
I don't think they can win in oakland it'll have to be similar to the shit that happened last game of the season against the spurs that's the only way imo.
Westbrook would've just been a huge problem that they couldn't deal with and wouldn't be going away.
But the thunder outside of him and Adams has absolutely zero defense fam. None. Canter, waiters, singler, augustine, morrow.. garity... no defense fam Thunder would score 100 but the warriors would get 120
NO did what i needed them to.
They went basic in the 4th and fed that monster. Had they done that earlier and played Ryan Anderson more they would have had a chance at the sneak upset. A better coach wins as a road team in GS today. Klay had a bad shooting day and Curry couldnt buy a bucket early on.

The Bucks are playing the Bulls tough so far.
The Bucks are playing tough (killing me to see MCW in the playoffs) they may be tough to get rid of. D Rose and Butler are playing great but you are always concerned about injuries... Shaping up to be a good series.
I expect Cleveland vs Warriors in the finals and the Warriors to win it all
They consistently blew teams away on their home court this year. I heard a crazy stat not too long ago, that Steph sat 18 4th quarters this year because of the leads and he still shattered his 3 point record
But they should have put that game away. Hopefully their cuteness on the court isn't to their demise when they games are tight.
They have no answer for Davis, so N.O. would best be served to feed him like they did in the 4th.
Yeah they are. I'm actually kind of anxious to see how this team shapes up next year with Parker coming back. This team is youthful and relatively gifted in the athletic department.

That's crazy!
Davis needs a minimum of 30 shots a game for them to be competitive. GS is prone to cold spells so they could get caught slipping!
No ankle jokes today huh it is what it is
True, but I'm not sure if N.O. will be able to shoot well enough to ease the defensive collapse on Davis. Plus, the boy is frail. I always worry about him getting injured.
GS is a jump shooting team, so they will go cold, as you stated. I'm just wondering how they will adjust when it does happen.
they're a move the ball get the best shot team and they usually play above average to great defense.
it's different with this team than the prototypical "jump shooting" team
curry was just OK klay thompson was completely off and if the 2nd unit played worth a damn this would've been a 30 point victory
that should scare folks.
They run a vicious pick and roll as well. N.O. had no answer for that. The only team that is not phased by GS (I'm certain of) is the Spurs. Nothing really phases them though.
I know they got the tools, man. GS just have to prove it. That's my only thing about them.
the only team that doesn't have to prove it is the spurs.
Very true. They have nothing to prove. Well, maybe winning two in a row for the first time, but I don't think that is a big deal.
nothing at all to prove lol.
lmao.
BTW, great to see Rose play the way he did tonight. I'm happy for dude.
bulls were something like 33-18 when he played and only .500 when he doesn't
if he stays healthy they can come out of the east.
Let's go!
