I don't think I handle Warriors' success well :lol

After so many middling years, I now expect this team to win every game. And get pissed when we play badly. Like that first half was painful to watch, even though we're 31-5 and one game ain't shit.

Luke Walton is an assistant coach....for the Warriors?

Something doesn't seem right there.

Arizona product like Kerr? I dunno, that's all I got.

 

[JNA]

The Hawks are so freaking good.

Seriously, every year before the season begins, I always pick them to AT LEAST make the playoffs while others laugh and be like "with what team? An injury prone big men? Teague is overrated and Korver is just a shooter. There only consistent player is Milsap. That team will be lucky to be a 10th seed".

And then I proceed to laugh at them every year. No one ever believes in the Hawks. I didn't think they were going to be THIS good but they got a lot of depth and Jeff Teague is a MUCH BETTER point guard than given credit for.

 

[RBelong2Us]

OKC is terrible. So much ISO ball

 

[njean777]

Best teams

Warriors, Trailblazers, Griz, Hawks, Raptors

NBA shitting themselves its all smaller market teams. Lolol

Aren't the rockets up there also? Sorry I only follow the rockets so I don't know.

1st round loss like usual for the Hawks tho.

 

[Soonri]

And yet it works because they have 2 of the best players in the league

18 and 20?

I'll say we're a better team than Memphis, but no problem with every other team on the list. Still haven't played the Raptors yet.

Against who? The Nets?

Nah Hawks will make it far this year. Finals is obviously still questionable but with the Cavs sucking it up, the East is up for grabs.

 

[Vanillalite]

I didn't name everyone obviously.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Not a whole lot of fucks being given on defense tonight. Fun game though. PEACE.

 

[Fjordson]

Man terrible turnover by Curry there. Ugh.

 

[Vanillalite]

.

 

[RBelong2Us]

Lee is the last piece that needs to be erased for Warriors

 

[Fjordson]

How the fuck are we so bad at defending at the end of quarters. What in the fucking world is going on. Goddamn.

 

[Gully State]

He's gone in the offseason. Frankly I dunno who you can trade him for right now...Unless Brooklyn would be willing to do a Lee for KG trade straight up (one can dream)..

Relax...we already won the season series...Bogut and Iggy out.. OKC playing with desperation.

 

[JNA]

Why would you want KG? He's pretty much a nothing now.

You could do a trade with the Knicks for Amare?

 

[Soonri]

18 and 20?

You think they have the same record if Durant and Westbrook aren't injured in the beginning of the year?

 

[RBelong2Us]

They're still losing

 

[Uno Venova]

They're still losing

OKC has a winning record since Russel came back.

Okay well there's like 10 teams doing better than them in the west right now

 

[Uno Venova]

Okay well there's like 10 teams doing better than them in the west right now

Because they had such a terrible start without their two star players.

 

[Gully State]

Why would you want KG? He's pretty much a nothing now.

Size and defense off the bench. As good as Draymond is at the 4, some defensive help on the off the bench would be huge..Would also help when Bogut is hurt.. You could essentially run KG off the high post the same way we currently run Bogut.

 

[RBelong2Us]

Because they had such a terrible start without their two star players.

i recently saw them get destroyed by the Kings

 

[RBK]

Okay well there's like 10 teams doing better than them in the west right now

Just stop please.

 

[RBelong2Us]

Just stop please.

Why are they getting a pass? They are hardly beating bad teams and losing to every good team .

 

[Uno Venova]

You really see people giving OKC a pass? Who calls them anything but an above average team?

 

[RBH]

HAWKS!

 

[Fjordson]

Welp. Pull the starters imo. Rest for Houston.

 

[tmdorsey]

This Hawks team is just crazy right now. I'm gonna be dumbfounded if they go 4-0 on this crazy 4 games in 5 nights road trip.

 

[Cloudy]

OKC would beat this GS team in a series. Westbrook is just too tough for Curry

My point exactly, lol.... This is a joke

 

[Pimpwerx]

Whiteside with two quick fouls in two quick minutes. SMH. PEACE.

 

[Cloudy]

Warriors have zero inside presence w/o Bogut. They should trade Iggy for a big

Y'all serious...? I can't tell.

 

[RBelong2Us]

My point exactly that people seem to think OKC are better than they actually are

They continue to regress as a team

 

[Fjordson]

My point exactly that people seem to think OKC are better than they actually are

Shit my bad.

Yeah, I don't get that line of thinking. Curry sonned Westbrook in the last two games. Tonight we rest players on the road and will end up going 3-1 for the season series. Not sure why that means OKC would for sure knock out GS. Especially when GS will have home court.

 

[RBK]

Granted GS isn't at full strength, this is potentially still a big win for the Thunder.

 

[Cloudy]

My point exactly that people seem to think OKC are better than they actually are

They continue to regress as a team

They have 2 of the best 5 players in the league and talent around them. I guarantee they would wreck GS in a series

So the complete opposite of what's happened so far this year. If you say so.

 

[Uno Venova]

It wouldn't be the first time a season series result went the opposite way in the playoffs.

 

[Heysoos]

This team is exponentially better with Kawhi.

 

[RBK]

It wouldn't be the first time a season series result went the opposite way in the playoffs.

He knows.

Warriors were apart of one.

 

[Fjordson]

It wouldn't be the first time a season series result went the opposite way in the playoffs.

Just saying I'd feel comfortable betting my house that the Warriors would not get "wrecked" by OKC. Possibly lose sure, but that's different. It'd be a good series.

 

[Cloudy]

The past doesn't matter. I guess they could be on fire from 3 but OKC is one of the few teams that makes all the best GS players have to play defense AND offense if they want to win

 

[Soonri]

So the complete opposite of what's happened so far this year. If you say so.

Just saying, the Spurs swept the Mavs for 3 straight years before last year's playoffs and then proceeded to need a game 7 to finish them off. So it's not out of the question... Although I'd like to see better play from the Thunder first.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

No Love tonight.

I could absolutely see it going 7. Just can't see any evidence to suggest the Warriors would be an easy series for OKC.

 

[Uno Venova]

Westbrook with that smooth 15+/15+/15+ game. 17pts, 15reb, 17ast, 4stl.

He was a monster tonight. Durant and Ibaka were great as well.
