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

Nope, Dubs will close this out on Friday.

well I hope I'm wrong and you're right.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Just a shitty effort. No one said the title would be easy.

Um literally multiple people pretty much handed them the title when they signed Boogie

Clippers just wanted it more.
Dubs were too lackluster for most of the game and became inconsistent.
I'm gonna call it now. There will be a game 7 back in Oakland on Sunday.
Gut check time.

Terrible shooting was the biggest factor, IMO. I think they started 9/11 from three, but they finished 15/39. Shooting less than 25% on 3-pt attempts from the second quarter to the end of the game is going to lead to a loss most every time. I only remember Klay making one three-pointer in the second half.

Well, the Warriors do seem more comfortable playing in LA.

Yep they missed shots & that happens with jump shooters.
Steph & Klay didn't really get going & so they rode KD to keep them in it.

Clips shot it well.

Maybe Klay should take the entire team for a swim in the ocean down there this time.

Klay: Dip in Pacific Ocean spurred 32-point game

A tired cliche, I know, but lbts-dbts. We’ve all seen the dubs go cold on the 3s, but it just happens infrequently enough for them to have won some rings.

 

[Nightcrawler]

2 wins in this series is already a win for LA. Especially both on the road

I’ve been enjoying it.

I know the clippers are highly unlikely to win the series, but I’m glad that they are frustrating the warriors a little bit and wasting their time. I know curry would rather be prepping for Houston right now.

 

[Wishbone]

Clips pushing the Warriors.

 

[tlance]

I watched the game.

My response was to the comment that tonight's loss speaks to a real problem.

Clippers are playing hard & were facing elimination & they won. Not sure why some Dubs fans have hit the panic button because when they're on there isn't anything the clips can do to stop them.

I don't think anybody is hitting the panic button besides Monty who always panics.

My point is that in the 2 games they lost they were outhustled for long stretches.

I don't think they will let that happen against the Rockets.

But the only team who can really beat the Warriors is the Warriors. And while the Clippers played well, it was the first half effort that did the Warriors in.

Houston is gonna smoke GS

Starting to look that way.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Beverly outrebounding Draymond and KD combined is pretty funny

Montrezl Harrell is shooting 75% from the field in this series. Harrell and Williams carried the team on their back last night.

 

[Montalban]

Two things stand out about this years team; no one fears them anymore because they will always allow you back on the game and they cannot close out close games

 

[dtgold88]

If the defender jumps straight up, it can't be a foul on the defense (unless the official makes a bad call, or the defender brings arms down on the shooter).

If the defender is in the air traveling from point A to point B, they have made a bad play.

And I can't think of another common scenario where the defender would leave their feet like that except on an attempted shot contest. So maybe we are talking about different things. But if that is the case I have no idea what you are talking about.

Even if he does not jump straight up and leans in some, if the offensive player initiates the contact by moving forward into him it is not supposed to be a foul....but it often is.

Just a lousy bulls fan here and i was watching the game last night but one thing always puzzles me about this team that I'm hoping someone can clarify. When the warriors get down by 5 with about 5 or 6 mins left they just wanted to jack up 3 after 3 after 3; i believe they have good ball handler's who can drive to the paint so why not do that more if the 3's aren't falling?

Clippers got him for a bargain last summer.

2 yr/12 mil.

Amazing deal
