So happy that Harrison Barnes regained his confidence and didn't regress like Andris Biedrins did...

I hope Barnes stays in Oakland, dude is just so chill. Posts his PO Box on Twitter so he could autograph and send back stuff fans want signed.

 

[LyleLanley]

That three was a killer.

 

[Dynomutt]

I may need to look back, but it doesn't help that in the last play Butler went inside and pulled in his defender as well. That same defender was the one that got the turnover.

Edit: It's in some ways good that Rose is willing though to take those vital shots. Certainly different from Lebron.

Good point. It did help them in the last play of the last game though. Turner and co. we're so focused on LeBron that they left Love open for the dish and 3 point shot. I do remember it causing them to lose games in Miami though.

 

[Soi-Fong]

I want the Bulls to annihilate Bambi next game... Here's hopin...

 

[Fjordson]

Can't put the Pelicans away. Goddamn.

 

[RELAYER]

Pelicans getting clowned lol

Barring injury nobody is beating GS.The only flaw they have is when they try to get cute on offense.

 

[friskykillface]

Leonard x Diaw the god will beat the warriors

Spurs and Memphis could beat them if they play their games.

 

[Tom Penny]

Spurs and Memphis could beat them if they play their games.

And if GS plays their game they beat them because their A game is better than any team in the league.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

No.

They live at the threepoint line, they need much more than that to beat complete teams.

They're still the Warriors until they prove something.

LOL Top 5 on offense and defense. I'd love to have an incomplete team like them.

 

[Fjordson]

Not really. Second in the league in points in the paint per game. And their defense has been #1 all season, helps them keep pace with people when their shot isn't falling.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

LOL Top 5 on offense and defense. I'd love to have an incomplete team like them.

I never said they were incomplete.

Plus, it's not like they didn't have strong offense before and it's not like Curry and Klay Thompson are new additions.

They're better than they were back then but I wouldn't pick them over teams that have done it before.

 

[njean777]

Go Rockets tomorrow, Harden for mvp!

 

[kaiju]

Warriors baby!

 

[notoriousKTR]

Chef Curry dishing his roasted pelican special.

 

[maladroid]

It's a shame Memphis isn't healthy. I'd take them and the Spurs over the Warriors.

 

[Fjordson]

Seriously. Best offense and defense in the league for Golden State. They trash.

 

[Rainy]

I swear every game in the series someone has held a sizeable lead and lost all of it in the fourth.

 

[RELAYER]

do they really need to pump shitty rap music into the arena every 5 seconds?
jesus christ

 

[LyleLanley]

Steph Curry is a rather good basketball player.

 

[Tom Penny]

Davis stuck surrounded by overpaid dead weight Tyreke and Gordon. He gone when he gets the chance.

 

[Gully State]

No.

Yes..they've beaten both teams when playing their game already. It would be competitive series. Steph isn't just your average 3 point shooter since he can shoot them efficiently and at a high volume without requiring anyone to create for him. There isn't a single player in the NBA that can do that.

I'm less worried about Memphis than I am about the Spurs (not saying that Memphis can't beat the dubs- just that the match up isn't bad for the Warriors as it was in the past). With Festus improving, we actually have beef to contend with Gasol and Randolph down low. The Spurs on the other hand are so good at making you play their game....

 

[Fjordson]

The best part about the sweep is that we won't have to play Anthony Davis anymore.

 

[LyleLanley]

That still gives the Pelicans about 6-7 years to get their shit together though.

The worst part about the sweep is that we won't get to see Anthony Davis play anymore.

 

[Shun]

San Antonio's faking everyone out with this Marc Gasol/LaMarcus Aldridge talk.

They're really waiting a year in 2016 where Tim Duncan retires and Anthony Davis signs with the Spurs after AD rejects his contract extension with the Pelicans. That's when they have cap flexibility with more money. R.C. Buford got this.

He'll put on a Grizzlies jersey and follow you till the end of times.

 

[DJwest]

RIP Pelicans

 

[Fjordson]

Steph back to hitting his shots. A cool 39 and 9 to close out the series. Dope.

The worst part about the sweep is that we won't get to see Anthony Davis play anymore.

That's true. His game is a joy to watch when it's not killing my team lol.

 

[RellyRell28]

Glad the Bucks got one at least. It's good for experience with that young team. Hopefully when Parker comes back next year this team can make the next step.

 

[RELAYER]

Cya Pelican'ts

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

Warriors win. Congrats to them.

Now Grizzlies and Trail Blazers next.

 

[Crud]

Pelicans had a good run.

 

[Fjordson]

Just gotta say it....Sage is pretty fine.

That's what I've been saying. We shall see.

 

[TheSadRanger]

I'm gonna need a report when you get the the Unseen Village.

Incredible game. The latest patch was heaven sent. Before patch a death is 10x much more painful because of that ridiculously long load screens. It will really make you think twice before doing some risky shit again lol. I'm totally lost in the game, no clue where to go next. And anywhere I try to go Im getting my ass kicked :mjcry.

I'm nowhere close to that

, I'm at Old Yharnim and I've been taking L's all day like

cause I find anyone to summon for the blood beast at the end

I gave up on the dude on

Yes..they've beaten both teams when playing their game already.

Bulls beat the Heat a lot in the regular season.

I'm not downplaying the Warriors, just saying they aren't battle tested and I'd favor the Spurs.

Anyone can beat anyone in the West.

Except the Clippers can't.

 

[Exploratory]

No.

Damn I didn't know we had terrible misinformed posts on GAF until I entered the sports threads.

No I'm tired of seeing this. This is complete bull. The only person who should be saying that is ESPN because they want to drum up excitement. The Warriors have wrecked all these teams all year and have the #1 def and #2 offense. That wasn't a mistake.

Based off the reg season there are only a few real competitors. Warriors, Spurs, Cavs, and Hawks. The Bulls might be there now too with D Rose but otherwise the rest of these teams aren't taking the championship. Could they? Yes and the Bucks could win the championship too but its not probable.

 

[Daft Bird]

Being a Blazer fan and watching these games are breaking my confidence in them. Lets see if we can turn around after that sub par quarter

You don't have any reason to really be worried. Your team is ravaged with injuries before that they were quite good. Now if LA and Wes Matthews leaves in the off season that's a whole different thing.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

sn't a mistake.

Based off the reg season

Means little.

Spurs are the 6th best team in the West according to that and we all know better.

Yeah I really don't think the Grizzlies have much for the Warriors at this point. Their strength is in the post, but GS has two of the best interior defenders in the league. And Z-Bo and Marc aren't really playing great lately (Z-Bo is scoring 13 ppg on 31% shooting against a defense much worse than the Warrior's). Conley is good on the perimeter, but Curry cancels him out, and we definitely ain't gonna lose an entire series to the likes of Jeff Green or Tony Allen. Their perimeter scoring in general is kinda shitty.

I'm gonna look like a jack ass for this post if GS loses in the next round, but I just don't see it.

If I were a neutral observer, I'd favor the Spurs as well but fan is short for fanatic and well you know the rest..
Go dubs.


Edit- I don't see Memphis as a lopsided matchup for the Warriors either as of right now. Ask me during the first half of the regular season, and I might've said otherwise since they had our number prior.

 

[Bubble Metropolis]

Jeff, no!

Oh, okay.

It's really hard to win at Golden State.

That could mean everything in that series or the Spurs could be roadwarriors.

They certainly wouldn't plow over the Warriors like they did the Heat on the road though.
