Klay Thompson is good at basketball.

But Bogut not starting? Seemingly not on the bench either? Uh oh...

 

[tmdorsey]

My first time watching the Warriors this season and all I can say is Jesus.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Golden state is fucking scary

Could you imagine if they had traded Thompson lol

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Did someone tell Klay that he might not be an all star or something? This is just insane how good he has been lately.

 

[Fjordson]

Fuck. Rose is good again.

 

[anddo0]

Bogut not feeling well.. That explains it.

I love the intensity of this game.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Bogut not feeling well.. That explains it.

Isn't Jimmy Butler also out sick? Conspiracy!

 

[Fjordson]

Bogut with the flu. Well shit. Hopefully Gasol and Taj don't feast.

Kerr's blackmailing him... If you don't hit all your shots I won't let you play in the all star game..

 

[Fjordson]

Klay missing technical free throws. Not liking this game so far.

edit: Curry going into the locker room during that timeout....

 

[LowlySmokeGuy]

I know the Warriors have incredible shooters and all, but the Bulls perimeter defense is god awful right now. They aren't even trying.

 

[Fjordson]

Curry back on the bench. Guess he's okay?

 

[Cloudy]

Wayne Ellington should have been starting weeks ago...

 

[RBK]

Any Heat fan want to comment on the jerseys they wore tonight?

Looks great.

GS just isn't very impressive when they aren't hitting 3s. I feel they'd beat any EC team in a series but I don't think they can win the WC

Offense isn't the problem. 54 points on 49% shooting (and GS is third in the league in points in the paint). We're just really small without Bogut. 14 to 3 in second chance points, 10 to 2 in offensive rebounds in favor of Chicago.

Third game wearing the black tie jerseys. I hate them. Lots of people like them. They were player designed. PEACE.

Their overall shooting % seems fine, but aren't all their bigs out due to injury or illness? It's more their defense at the moment from the looks of it.

Well, those 3's going down are awful important, look at the Cavs finally hitting theirs now that JR has joined, and LeBron is healthy again.

Guess it's a different take on their Blackout jerseys?

Yeah, getting a little beat up inside. Draymond can get away with being undersized next to Bogut, but not so much with Speights or Lee. Especially when the other team's power forward is 7'0" like Gasol.

If their bigs are healthy they can win the whole thing going away even with the WC being a giant slugfest

the main question is, are their bigs gonna be healthy?

 

[Cloudy]

True. Just not sure this GS team will be able to grind out wins vs. top tier teams when they don't have the momentum. Waaaay too many jumpers

 

[Doc Holliday]

I want to see how they do in the playoffs. Players get so tight and defenses go lockdown. Good thing is that they have 2 players with ice water on their veins.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Yeah, good question. They have some nice ones, as do the Bulls. Makes me wish Varejao didn't go down on us, but then, we probably wouldn't have Mozgov. Hopefully Cavs can still swing a deal or a find a diamond in the rough as a backup.

Yeah, if Bogut gets seriously hurt we are fucked against a team like Memphis.

yuck

Even with Bogut, I don't like their chances vs. a healthy Memphis team. The way Z-Bo punished Chandler tonight, I don't see how you beat that team without bigs who can score. Z-Bo and Gasol cannot be allowed to coast on defense...

We played them close in Memphis without Bogut. If we keep homecourt advantage and have Bogut then I wouldn't be shocked if we won. And Draymond wouldn't be able to shut down Randolph, but he had 5 blocks in Memphis. He can play him tough.

As for defense, I don't think either would be able to fully coast. Bogut is constantly coming up top initiating offense, making his man help when Klay and Curry rub off his screens. And with Draymond we sometimes run pick & pop to get him open 3's (though that's not always dependable offense).

I could see Memphis being favored, just think GS could play with them.

 

[Cloudy]

Clarkson is ballin'. Byron Scott is such an idiot

 

[Fjordson]

Derrick Rose has more 3's tonight than Steph Curry.

I think you need a guy getting lots of touches inside to get fouls on those guys. Their offense is way too efficient to allow them to just clog the paint on defense...

 

[Banana Aeon]

Wow, were playing like shit, and we still trail the Warriors by 2.

 

[Fjordson]

Rose has 8 turnovers and 1 assist. Damn.

 

[neptunes]

Can the Lakers not keep a 20 point lead? Geez

 

[Fjordson]

Derrick Rose has twice as many 3's as Stephen Curry....

 

[Cloudy]

Lin is terrible. His confidence is totally shot

 

[Fjordson]

James Michael McAdoo playing in the third quarter. We desperate inside lol.

 

[Cloudy]

Metta looks in great shape

 

[overcast]

That pass by curry. Whew.

 

[Fjordson]

That pass by curry. Whew.

Yeah had me like

on the replay.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Drose!!!

 

[Fjordson]

Holy fuck at these shots Chicago is making. Goddamn.

 

[Red Comet]

Sloppy win for the Wizards tonight. Wall had a good game though. Almost a triple dub.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Nice one refs

 

[overcast]

Fantastic game. Playoff like.

 

[neptunes]

Lakers are utterly pathetic, could you win just once?

 

[Cloudy]

At this point, Klay is too good for Steph to get MVP if Harden keeps carrying the Rockets up the standings. I'd really hate to see a chickenshit flopper like the Beard get MVP tho lol
