True. I think it was Zach Lowe who said they should stick Curry on Waiters/Roberson, Klay on Westrbrook, Green on Durant, and just beat them. I agree. No more gimmicks. This was a top five defense and they've look putrid and that goes down to effort and game planning. Hopefully Kerr at least puts them in the right spots tonight.

the top defense in the NBA wasn't enough either
okc salivating right now, from the spurs to the warriors to the cavs each defense gets progressively worse

To be fair, he really only went 70% of the way around.
Yeah, like dribbling with two basketballs!
I feel like the Warriors have better athletes than the Spurs, though. Other than Leonard, no one else can keep up with the Thunder, whereas the Warriors would be able to at least slow them down.

Anthony Davis just lost $24,000,000.
Agreed. I really don't know how to read this series at this point.
I'm going to the game tonight and just hoping we can extend it one more time. I don't have much hope after that but it'd be nice to at least make it to a game 6.
Who voted for Blake Griffin!?!?!?!

I can understand how he got edged out given how much the media was dumping on the Rockets this year.
Lmao that's what it feels like. If we had that crowd back we'd win by 30 tonight fa sho.
WHo the fuck voted for Melo?

Yeah, the odds would be insurmountable, I think.

LOL @ the four votes for LeBron on Second Team. The hate is real.

If there's a team that can overcome a 4-1 deficit, it's the Warriors.

It would be tough but I wouldn't rule it out completely.

Terrible even.
Dude was a MVP candidate last season.
if GS wins tonight I feel like they'll end up sweeping OKC

Reverse 3-1 sweep is the sweetest kind. Just ask the Clippers.

I agree, but a lot of that has to do with narrative. The Rockets had a supposed "super-team" this year; everyone expected them to challenge GS, SA and OKC for the upper echelon of the conference. Instead they limped into the playoffs and were given a quick exit. That's not necessarily on Harden, but voters pay attention to that when they fill out their ballots. Curry, Westbrook and Paul were all better than Harden this year, Lillard took a worse team to a better record, Klay Thompson set the "not Steph Curry" record for threes this year, and Kyle Lowry is a token East-Coaster because having the entire All-NBA backcourt come from a single conference doesn't play well. I would've bumped Lowry for Harden, personally, but I can see why Harden didn't make the cut.
Bullshit, but it fits the narrative for this year absolutely. The biggest letdown in the NBA and he was the leader of our team. So..
Really, Atomic said it best.

Oh Dwight wasn't the leader? Bwahahahahah
At least we finally see get to see Harden play D.

I hope you follow Kerr's advice and get there early:
Bay Area fans are notorious for showing up late to games, whether it be NBA, MLB or NFL. I'm guilty of this also, as it can take a while to get to a game during prime time traffic.
Kerr's use of caps to drill that message home is something, haha.
Enjoy the game Fjordson! I believe the Dubs will bounce back with a big win tonight.

That "WHATEVER IT TAKES" sounds like a threat with ball busting Draygoon on the court.
There is no chance Kerr wrote that himself lol.I hope you follow Kerr's advice and get there early:

Good luck warriors fans. I won't be watching tonight but I hope your team can extend the series.

Houston bout to run SSOL ball, gonna score 110+ per game but probably gonna give up a lot on the defensive end.
Old school warriors fans are pretty much priced out these days. The ticket prices for Oracle are insane.

No, I believe Kerr wrote it. This is the email he sent to GSW ticket holders yesterday:

You can tell the vibe is different on TV even when the crowd is loud. Like during the Rockets series, when they started doing the wave...wtf was that...
For tonight...

I believe it. Dude says a lot of corny shit and that seems to fit the bill. Also sounds like, like the one poster up above mentioned, that he's prepared to unleash the dirt bag Drummond Green to his full Bruce Bowen potential.

What you think are ankle braces are actually ankle weights. Curry gonna drop them to the floor like Lee from Naruto and go balls out. Only Draymond can do anything about it.
