I didn't say it would. 20 minutes a game is nothing to sneeze at, though the Warriors are more equipped than any other team in the league to make the necessary adjustments.

Its not uncommon to lose your confidence when you get hurt.
Confidence and vision is usually separates the very good from the great.

I was responding to comments (not by you ) made in this thread that Lebron and Kyrie would suddenly have easy paths to the basket now that Bogut is out.
Not taking shots is one thing but mental mistakes like being at the wrong spot on an offensive play or setting a screen in an empty space is another. His body language doesn't come off as lacking confidence (maybe it is). But I don't think his issues are 100% injuries.

He can play 42 minutes, he rested enough for g5.
This new schedule sucks. Bring back a game every 2 days after this.

But the NBA doesn't benefit at all from extending the series! /s

Lets not leave this part out of the Donaghy piece:
"In the past, I believe it (Dirty Dray's antics) was disregarded because [the Warriors] were down in the series."
"In the past, I believe it (Dirty Dray's antics) was disregarded because [the Warriors] were down in the series."
Now Curry just doesn't choke, he can choke you too.
I've stopped taking this guy seriously honestly. He literally claims to know inside info about everything. I really don't think this in particular is some conspiracy. Draymond has been doing this shit all playoffs.

What happened to to bron's 3 pt jumper. It's not physical arm strength because he is built like Zeus himself. Whats going on?
I agree Draymond can provide offense, defense and playmaking. Dray is the MVP of GSW, still like Klay better though

Cavs the world doesnt believe in you
Prove them wrong and force game 7

You shoot with your legs. One of the problems he's had the last couple of years is that hes shifted to using more arm I think. It looked good yesterday though.

stop trying to win cavs, i need to look after my health and stop yelling at the tv
Lebron seems to not use his legs with anything. His legs always look so stiff. Has he had knee problems?

Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy wants people talking about him again.

Tim Donaghy is a desperate crook who is going to pop up any time there is a remotely controversial NBA story so he can get his shitty name back in the news. I figured people would stop humoring him by now.
After Basketball reasons, is there any reason to doubt this? The NBA will do what is in its best interest even if that means tampering in suspensions or blocking trades.

Basketball reasons was a good move by the league. They owned the team and they weren't going to let a shitty gm make an awful trade.
Oh please, the NBA didn't prolong shit.
Maybe Kerr should keep Draymond in line from time to time. Warriors are good enough to overcome losing Green. Curry shows up big they win that game, if the Dubs don't miss wide-open shots, maybe they win that game.

The thing is the conspiracy theorists and jerk off like Donagy are going to twist anything to fit their narrative. If the league didn't suspend Draymond and the Warriors won in 5 it'd be "Oh the league wants to protect their new golden boy/dynasty"
Didn't the Lakers traded turn out to be better?
The proposed (and briefly agreed-upon deal): Paul to the Lakers; Pau Gasol to the Houston Rockets; and Lamar Odom, Kevin Martin, Goran Dragic, Luis Scola and a first-round draft pick (from Houston via New York) to the Hornets.
Vs
The Clippers will send guard Eric Gordon, center Chris Kaman, forward Al-Farouq Aminu and Minnesota's unprotected 2012 first-round pick to the Hornets for Paul. The Clippers will also receive two future second-round picks.

In retrospect, yeah probably. I have no problem with a trade being rejected if it's not the best deal, just not publicly in that way. The biggest problem with "Basketball Reasons" was how terribly the NBA handled it. Letting a trade get basically announced, a few owners bitch about it, and then it gets rescinded. They should have just prohibited the Hornets from making ANY trades until the team was sold as it was a clear conflict of interest.

The actual players would have been better but it would've been a bad trade.
Because CP3 is an irreplaceable, MVP-level player and no one would ever be stupid enough to trade him for a handful of beans?
The Cavs might have the two best offensive weapons in the series. This shit is far from certain.

Wait, now I'm confused.
New Orleans should have never traded CP3. Every trade offer was just a different level of garbage.

Didn't they trade him because he was going to leave anyways?
Probably. I just really hate trading irreplaceable dudes, even if they love punching dicks.
I think LeBron bulking up when he returned to Cleveland really affected his outside shooting. He was less bulky in Miami and his stint there is I believe his best years FG% and 3FG% wise. Seems to have lost some of his control in the strength of his shot.
No, it makes sense since it is East vs. West. If it was Miami vs. Portland, for instance, they would finish Game 5 at around 10 PM Pacific time, shower, do interviews, get on the bus, go to the airport and fly out around 1 AM. Fly for 6-7 hours, and get to Miami at 11 AM the next day. Media need to travel as well. Asking them to play a game the next day can decrease the quality of play.

Wait, what? Where are you getting this from?
My understanding is that James has averaged 20 pounds lighter since returning to Cleveland. He weighed around 270 during his stint in Miami and has clocked in around 250 since. His paleo slimming was well documented at the time.

Max Barnes ready to score 20+ tonight
Chris Paul is a proven loser. Nothing MVP-like about him. Guess he gets some nice stats in losing efforts.
Not necessarily referring to his weight, but muscle build. He looks more muscular right now than he was before, maybe my eyes are fooling me lol. But he seems to have hit the weight room more and his shots look more pointed. I believe he did enter "skinny" in 2014 season though, you are correct that he weighs less right now than when in Miami.
CP3 is just stuck on an era where pass-first PGs are already outdated and can only take you so far. His style would have worked if he played with a dominant scorer. Plus he's injury prone.
