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

But you just said it.

The Spurs were wildly overmatched. The Warriors knew they could win with their D game.

I thought they played fairly well the first 2 games, then seemingly lost interest when Pop went out. The Spurs kept competing, but they had no shot.

They won't lose interest against the Rockets and Pelicans.

I think there is a really good chance that the Jazz beat the Rockets.

Warriors in 6 if Steph doesn't return til middle of the series.

Warriors in 5 if he is out there in game 1

I'm going with Warriors in 6. The Pels can attack the Warriors at their weakest spot and AD has been playing out of his mind.

So the Warriors don't even need Curry to beat the Pelicans. ROFLMAO. Curry will only be needed against the Rockets. They won't even need him for the finals.

1-2 Stacked teams are ruining the NBA. Have been for the last half a dozen years. The script plays as obvious as the Titanic


Why anyone advocates a 1-2 team NBA I don't know!!!

I don't.

Not if Rubio is out.

I don't.

Not if Rubio is out.

Losing Rubio definitely hurts the Jazz.

I've never wavered on the Warriors being the best team in the league however I don't believe one strong game eliminates all the questions about consistency they have have over the past few months.

The Warriors were always my favorite to win the title but I think you are going a bit far with your last couple of sentences.

Possibly a little homerism sure, but that's how this game made me feel, I'm now all in.

Thoroughly stunned GS had an easy time last night.

Really?? i don't, and that's even IF rubio were 100% healthy

Are you kidding? Last night the Ws contained Davis very well. They blew them out, without Curry. Curry is coming back game 2.

The Jazz were quietly one of the best teams in basketball since the beginning of the new year. There were something like 26-8 since January.

Harden plays small in big games, or at least he has up to this point in his career. The Jazz are a really tough defensive team and could really frustrate them.

 

[The Oldtimer]

Um, you don't get it. After tonight, the whole playoffs are over.

Okay, if you say so.

Sorry, I didn't realize it was a 1 game series. My bad.

Nah. Pelicans play the same style which is terrible because the Warriors are much better at it

Pelicans got no shot. If they get to 5 games they'll be lucky. Warriors effortlessly destroyed them last night without Curry. If I were GS I wouldn't even play Curry in game 2 because there is no need for him, let him rest and heal.

You need to pay closer attention to things.

Curry needs court time, though. As long as he is healthy, you gotta get him out there.

I'd bring him in game 3 and 4. He does need to get back into that rhythm before the WCF, but a few more days off can't hurt. I remember last year in the Portland series he was out hurt and the game he came back he dropped like 30 on Portland without any problem.

 

[msgkings322]

Okay, if you say so.

I do!

Yeah, why not use him limited minutes to get ramped up? Curry himself said if it were up to him he would have played last night for 20 minutes or so.

 

[The Oldtimer]

I do!

Good!!!!
