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

Seems odd that the Warriors sat Bogut at the start since he seems to be the guy that the offense flows around. It backfired on Kerr as they got down big early. Thank goodness for Durant. He may be a whiny little bitch but, boy, can he play.

Can finally move on to the Western Conference Finals

Warriors are the second to last team to advance out of first round, but are the second to get to the conference finals. Nice job.

Slim Reaper got the Dubs woke again....but they better rest up quick because Houston is already in town waiting for game 1 on Sunday.

Gonna be an epic series.

Still got the Rockets in 4?

More likely 5. But I will say that a Rockets sweep is much more likely than the Warriors winning the series. The run is over, they have no chance of beating a well-rested, confident Rockets team.
One thing should be interesting though and that is how they defend Hardin. Did you see Rubio playing behind him and leaving him a clear path to the basket? It bamboozled Hardin and took away that step back three that he loves. It looked odd but I was impressed at how well it worked.

Hard to take you seriously with the shit you say. Not even trying to be mean, you'd maybe have something interesting to say if you cut out the bullshit.

But to clarify, Rockets win in 5 in Oakland? Got it.

Shouldn't that be Rockets lose in 4 games? Without Trevor Ariza, they have defense and D'antoni is not a good coach

No bullshit. A well-rested rockets team will take game 1 in Oakland as the Dubs don’t even get 36 hours of rest. It won’t even be close; something like 121 to 103 and it is over without home court advantage. Add a gimpy ankle for Curry and there you have it. It stuns me that no one else seems to see this. But you didn’t even notice the Utah D on Harden the other day so I know you haven’t been paying attention

What do you want to bet on the eventual series winner?

Los Angeles' NBA team put up quite a fight

no shame in losing to the defending champs

You have to be blind to not be able to see that your Warriors do this 10x more than any other team in the league. Celebrating is no big deal. But as I mentioned, they've went as far as laughing in a referee's face running down the court. They're a great team, but there's a point where it gets old. They hit it a very long time ago.

I don't think they do it 10x more than anyone else. It gets old because they keep winning, so we keep seeing them celebrate.

The same thing happens with other teams that go on long runs. Everyone likes them for the first couple of seasons. Then it turns because folks get sick of seeing the same team over and over.

It seems less with Spurs for a couple of reasons:

1.) The Spurs, even when winning, don't celebrate quite as much as other teams. They still celebrate, it's just a little more muted because of Pop.

2.) While they have made the playoffs for 22 straight years and have won 5 titles, they have never had a repeat and only went to back to back finals once in that span. So there hasn't been enough for folks to get tired of them.

Iguodala is a great stripper.

Not really my taste. But not gonna judge you. This is a very inclusive forum.

Yeah, considering how young they are and that Lebron still isn't completely healed from that groin injury...I didn't think the Lakers would be able to push them to 6 games.

Wait!! What!?!

Oh...

Nevermind.

 

[trojanfan12]

I got a kick out of Lou Williams and Patrick Beverley talking about trying to stop KD last night.

Lou: "We tried everything. Used several different schemes. It just didn't..."

Beverley: "work."

Then both cracked up. lol

who in the blue hell is LeBron and is he important?

 

[trojanfan12]

He's a solid role player. Not a guy who's gonna win you a title, but one of those guys you need if you're going to win one.

Knows his role, stays in his lane.

Now this is intersting. Ranking the 3 pro basketball teams in Los Angeles for this season it would be the Clippers, Sparks then the Lakers. I like the way that looks.

I bet LeBron would trade his fading hairline for a reliable fadeaway jumper.
