It still sucks.

Just shows how bad San Antonio has looked all playoffs more than anything else.

Yup. Grizz will pound either of these teams into the ground

 

[Black Mamba]

Duncan does not look good right now.



They also finished first in defensive rebounding in the NBA in the regular season, lol.

Duncan is old and being asked to go from 30mpg to 40mpg. It's too much to do and is wearing on him. This is another example of why I say benches matter less. Top 6 or 7 is all that matters.

Lebron and bosh can go 40+ but Duncan can't come playoff time.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Bogut can totally play Duncan one on one.

If he can stay on the floor.

 

[Branduil]

The Mavs' bench mattered in '11 but that team was different from the norm.

 

[duxstar]

Spurs are in their downfall , need players other than Duncan and Parker and Duncan is old.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

What's the deal with Melo and Fedoras?

 

[Emwitus]

If spurs lose, i think they rebuild. I don't know what happens to duncan tho...maybe retires along with pop? It's hard to imagine any of that happening but both parker and ginobli could be traded for picks. Crazy scenario, i know.

 

[Iamwolfthing]

GS rebounding sucks

We were the best defensive rebounding team in the regular season.

 

[pilonv1]

We were the best defensive rebounding team in the regular season.

Warriors were also a good rebounding team in the mid 00s when they were hopeless too. Lots of empty rebounds with Murphy and Damp.

what the fuck

Maybe IWMTB can say something about pace, rebounding %, or whatever but no one should think for a second that SA should not be ragdolling this team in the paint.

 

[duxstar]

I don't know what I'll do when Duncan retires. He's been my favorite player since Jordan left; tough to say. Def won't be Lebron or Wade

 

[Emwitus]

after all the complaining the team and chandler did about team basketball......these are melo's stats


9-23 with 1 assist. Biggest fraud superstar since vince carter.

Melo wishes he was ever as good as Vince (through the first 46 minutes of the game)

 

[Emwitus]

lol I might have given him too much credit.

 

[thekad]

Melo can't hold Vince's jockstrap. And I'm talking about the current version of Vince.

 

[KingKong]

lmao Ernie and Chuck

 

[Black Mamba]

The Mavs' bench mattered in '11 but that team was different from the norm.

The top 7 were all that mattered on that team, still.

 

[Branduil]

Bogut is pretty good.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Do you guys think that Shaq the potential to be the greatest ever?


just so damn good.

 

[DY_nasty]

Bogut is pretty good.

Doesn't mean Jackson or anyone on that team knows how to use him or even realize how good he is...

 

[T Dollarz]

Carmelo now is better than prime Vince

 

[Iamwolfthing]

Maybe IWMTB can say something about pace, rebounding %, or whatever but no one should think for a second that SA should not be ragdolling this team in the paint.

Really? Even with Bogut playing like he has been?

 

[obijkenobi]

You only say that because Pop is saving Tmac

 

[Emwitus]

Carmelo now is better than prime Vince

No... Both of them are frauds tho so it's like comparing apples to apples.

 

[DY_nasty]

Really? Even with Bogut playing like he has been?

Playing like what? He's nowhere near 100% and almost held back by GS's defensive ...'ideas'

He's good, but GS is still without its best player in these playoffs.

 

[Branduil]

The top 7 were all that mattered on that team, still.

If you look at their minutes played in the playoffs that year, the Mavs had 9 guys playing at least 15 minutes per game. Stevenson and Haywood were 8th and 9th in minutes, and they were both pretty important to that run. Even the bottom three guys on the bench ended up making big plays at key turning points during the run.

 

[obijkenobi]

Can't believe the difference in free throw shooting so far

 

[Black Mamba]

Doesn't mean Jackson or anyone on that team knows how to use him or even realize how good he is...

On offense he is no longer good. Passable but his offensive game is nowhere what it was since he broke his arm. He misses point blank layups here days.

 

[Cloudy]

Barnes is ballin'

 

[reilo]

Wowza. Spurs' interior and help defense is legendary.

EDIT: That's an and1.

I didnt say you play 6 or 7 only that those are all that matter. Haywood didnt matter anymore than any other 9th man on a playoff team.

Your top 6 or 7 decide the games. The others are placeholders.

 

[obijkenobi]

Not sure what to think about the third quarter so far.

 

[Cloudy]

If GS somehow gets a lead late, they need to sit Curry

Tell Reilo that Haywood didn't matter.

 

[DY_nasty]

His confidence is still in the drain but defensively he's a don

 

[duxstar]

Spurs can't play this type of game with GS, need to man up and put some energy into their defense, GS will out shoot the spurs every time.

 

[Black Mamba]

Thankfully, a broken arm doesn't fuck with your defensive abilities. He's always been elite at defense.

 

[obijkenobi]

Danny Green is outplaying Curry

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

lol Knicks.

 

[jobber]

THERE'S NO DUNKING


WTF

 

[Emwitus]

jack so dumb

 

[obijkenobi]

Jack has been the Warriors best player today IMO

 

[Darkman M]

Jack doin to much LOL.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

Jack TO

Then Jack 3

Then another Jack TO

Then a layup

 

[theignoramus]

here comes jack's turnovers and over dribbling again

 

[reilo]

Jack of ALL trades.

 

[obijkenobi]

TP looking good. Guess that bruise is feeling better

 

[jobber]

FLAGRANT 2

 

[overcast]
