Series Thread: 1) Golden State Warriors (73-9) vs 8) Houston Rockets (41-41)

Not to the level of Lebron, he can but that isn't his game.

No, Bron is better because not many are gonna step in front of him going full speed.

Kyrie is pretty nifty at the rim too.

In fairness, maybe Curry doesn't go to the whole as much because he doesn't have to.

If I could hit shots from anywhere inside the half court line, with regularity, I wouldn't go in there with the trees either.

The Clippers series will go 7....

My response was to the line where you said if Curry's shot isn't falling then the Warriors would be cooked. That's just not true. They've won games where he only hit a couple of jumpers but always ended with double digit scoring. And we know that he doesn't get his points from the F/T line like Harden.

I see your point.

Along with that, he doesn't have to be at his best to beat most teams.

The Spurs and Cavs are the only clear exception.

 

[Mecca]

I think they will win tonight.

Doc Jr. and Green are playing for contracts.

They should also start Johnson at sf.

It would be nice to win the series.

Even if it wins us the right to be slaughtered in the next round.

Wrong, that IS a part of his game. Just because a player doesn't barrel into the paint like a bull in a china shop like LBJ doesn't mean they're not as effective in scoring at the rim.

I said, "not to the level of Lebron". So no, that isn't wrong lol. He is a shooter, doesn't mean he can't drive.

Yes I agree about not having to be at his best against most teams.

But against the Spurs, yes he will need to be able to make those 3's. Honestly, the Cavs are so inconsistent that I think the Warriors could win a game or two against them without Curry. With Curry IMO the Cavs don't stand a chance unless they play near perfection and make a ton of 3's.

That's why it opens up when he doesn't shoot. Defenders have to guard him so tight and he is quick and nifty around the basket that it opens things up more. The crazy thing about Lebron is defenders are looking for him to drive and he still gets what he wants.

Hmm...well they did win two games without Kyrie and Love so there's that, but yet they have no chance

 

[Mecca]

They can even find one on their own team in Dragic. Sounds like you and your sidekick just don't know basketball.

am I the sidekick?


@Heatles84 I'd be happy to be your Gabby!

I don't know, the Cavs are playing well.

Obviously, they didn't do anything they weren't supposed to facing the 8th seed.

Agree, if Curry is Curry....Warriors win.

I don't know if the Cavs can match the Warriors offensively for a whole series.

But, it won't be a slaughter.....6 games.

True.

Plus, the Cavs are a better Team this Season.

Only problem is, so are the Warriors.

It's fucking scary how much they've improved.

I hear ya. I'm just not impressed by the Cavs with only a series against Detroit as the supporting factor. But for now, I have to say no because history- more recent history to be specific- has shown us they're not consistent.

You are.

 

[Mecca]

You are.

I suppose I'll have to live with that.

We all have our cross to bear.

I'm sure it's burden for you to constantly have to walk around with a red nose, wig and those Damn floppy shoes.

You are working much too hard trying to be funny.

Sorry, not all of us can be natural born clowns like you.

Yawn. Now you are just getting boring.

 

[Mecca]

Yawn. Now you are just getting boring.

Well, we don't all have the option to switch to another troll account.

So unlike you, I only have the one personality to work with.

This coming from the douchebag that thought the Warriors would lose the series to the Rockets.
