Series Thread: 1) Golden State Warriors vs. 8) Los Angeles Clippers

[bksballer89]

woke up this morning and STILL don't believe it...

Turned the tv off and called it a night with dubs up 26 or so in the 3rd.

Woke up to several messages celebrating the warriors collapse .

Amazing feeling

That is where you are wrong.

Because I also said in first line of my first post that Klay got beat and that he could have guarded it better for sure.

But assuming ICE was indeed the coverage, if we are assigning blame this is like 70% Cousins and 30% Klay. If it was supposed to be a hedge or a monster they were both very wrong and that wouldn't even make sense.

I can be objective. But you want to make it seem like Klay got eviscerated by Lou Williams last night because YOU have an anti Klay agenda. That wasn't the case at all.

But yes. Lou did get the best of him here. Just not as badly as the untrained eye may want to believe.

Eviscerated? sure a little hyperbole but Klay got beat. Plain and simple. Was Cousins wrong, too? sure. But 2 guys can fail on the same play.

And FYI, I am pretty good at being objective.

I can be critical of players I like when they mess up. And those that have been here awhile know this.

But you brought up Klay because you were fishing for a reason to bash him. I have reason and knowledge on my side here. And I never once said Klay was blameless on the play in question. Just that he got a lot closer to doing his job than Boogie did to doing his.

Actually, no, I brought up Klay as a joke because a nice stop by Klay was shown.

DT: Klay doesn't have the metrics to support he's a great defender.
Me: Klay is an Elite level defender. He's an outlier with metrics.
DT: Well Kyrie Irving has better defensive metrics than Joe Dumars.
Me: ???? Ok, well that just supports my argument.
DT: No, this supports my argument.
Me: Wait, wut?

DT - because fans use defensive metrics when it suits them. when they don't the metrics are flawed (or outliers)

 

[dtgold88]

Amazing some think Lebron cared about the FO.

 

[Wamu]

It's Kyrie Irving.

Never heard of him.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Fell asleep when it was an ass whooping and missed a great fucking comeback.

Damn it.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Lol what a shit show. Deserved that L for sure. Great win and great play down the stretch from the Clippers. Pat Beverly, Montrez Harrell, and Lou Williams can be on my team any day

You can't have them!!!!

 

[DJ Fieri]

Is that the 1 win they steal @Mecca?

Congrats BTW.

 

[DJ Fieri]

This officiating is just so terrible.

Looks like BKS hacked Lance's account.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Ugh games like these make Montalban look smart

Never.

 

[dtgold88]

This is embarassing. Montalban must be rock hard right now.

The ultimate Happy Either Way Fan

Congrats BTW.

It's DEFINITELY one more win than I thought they'd get...

 

[dtgold88]

congrats to the Clips (and their fans here). Well deserved W.

while I know my team did the right thing under the circumstances, I do miss them being involved in playoff bball.

 

[DJ Fieri]

It's DEFINITELY one more win than I thought they'd get...

I think most expected a sweep.

 

[Montalban]

LOL at the Warriors. Is Kevin Durant the most mentally weak player in the league? Maybe Russell Westbrook. Durant got taken out of his game again, turning the ball over 9 times and making two silly fouls at the end to get booted.

I think the sorry ass warriors gave up 80 something points in the second half and blew a 31 point lead. Steph Curry's ridiculous lack of attention letting the ball get stolen from him time after time didn't help either.

 

[Shanemansj13]

wow lol. I went to bed with the W's up 27. Just saw the score now lolzzzzz

 

[Shanemansj13]

Congrats @Mecca a comeback for the ages. You have to proud of the Clips down so much, that shows a lot of grit

 

[Shanemansj13]

74 FTs + a bunch of phantom offensive fouls

A bunch of flops I saw on the highlights from both teams, officials were awful even when I was watching it in the 1st half.
