Series Thread: 2) Golden State Warriors vs 6) New Orleans Pelicans

[Heatles84]

GS has made 37.5%of their FGA's, including 32% of their 3's.

The Pels have made 47.6%, including 48% of their 3's.

Like I said earlier, it's just not Golden St.'s night.

Not every NBA champion goes 16-0 through the playoffs. Golden St. needs to be better on defense in game 4. In this game, New Orleans has been able to get in a flow offensively. In turn, it takes away from what Golden St. does best - running the fast break and being stuck in a half court offense.

Why you so defensive? I was basically agreeing they would lose tonight & that NO was expected to win one anyway.

We're good.

 

[LogicMan]

they have no answer for davis.

 

[Black Adam]

yeah, not looking so good for a comeback, but it's just one game...

even the Dubs can't win ALL of 'em...

 

[LogicMan]

now you know why Boston is obsessed with AD

 

[DJ Fieri]

Rondo had 21 assists.....damn. They better bring him back, I believe he's a FA.

 

[Inimical]

Sounds like Davis has a bit of that Nola twang going on.

GS was on auto-pilot all night. They'll win the next game though and close it out in 5. I will say though.. These Pelicans are for real. I see a title or two in the next 2-3 years

Oh here we go with your negative nancy crap. My gawd it's only the 2nd quarter.

More like Correct Carl.

So of course I was right. Did you expect a sweep? I said Ws in 5 so they had to lose one in NO. Hopefully they win the next one or I was too optimistic.

A title or 2 in the next 2-3 years?

Dubs played like a team that didn't give a shit. So many screw ups and lazy rotations on defense along with not bothering to box out on rebounds.

 

[Inimical]

I guarantee the pelicans will win game 4, I guarantee it.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Ironically, the difference maker in this one was ex Warrior Ian Clarke playing some big minutes off the bench for N'awlins.

Pel's bench outscored the Dub's bench 32-20.

 

[Wishbone]

Nothing like a 20 point Warriors beat down. I didn't realize until they were standing next to other other how much bigger Anthony Davis is compared to Kevin Durant.

Are people still under the impression Klay Thompson could be a #1 on a good team???

There are like 6 players in the league capable of being a #1 on a contending team. I don't think anyone ever thought Klay was one.

He is a damn good support player though.

Vegas-San Jose game 5. Series is tied at 2. Looking for advice....any hockey fans in here? Leaning towards the Knights but the Sharks won a game in Vegas already.

Going with the over since it's been over in 3 of the 4 games.

You might have a gambling problem if you are betting on things you know nothing about.

Went with Vegas.

 

[tlance]

they have no answer for davis.

Don't think anybody has a way to stop Davis.

Golden State does have an answer though. Their names are Kevin Durant and Steph Curry.

i didn't say it...

The defense looked bad last night. Wide open 3’s and no offensive rebounding. The defense was well below average. The only difference between this game and last 2 is NO is knocking down open shots now and they were more agressive
