Series Thread: 2) Memphis Grizzlies vs 3) Golden State Warriors

[msgkings322]

Warriors look terrible. Klay is ice cold. I don't see how they can beat the Suns or the Mavs if they keep playing like this. Not a championship caliber team at all yet.

Holy shit calm down gaylord. Bad half, bricklaying. Second half, look like contenders.

Draymond super emotional in postgame, about his close friend dying just now. Calling on all the other MSU community to do something to honor him.

 

[msgkings322]

I gotta say, I think the champ is gonna be one of Suns, Warriors, Bucks

The hell they didn't. Shitty first half, missing everything. Then they take the shit over in the second half like the betting favorites they are

Mavs not gonna win that series but much closer than I thought.

I'm not "sleeping" on anyone I'm most picking the top 3 teams left, and Vegas agrees. I'm going chalk.

He definitely would have called some plays to get them in some semblance of rythm

Steve Kerr is a really good big picture guy.

But he is actually a pretty poor in game coach.

Not saying Mike Brown is better, but let’s not act like Kerr is Greg Popovich. The Warriors have proven they can win by playing his system without him there.

Who did you call? Was it Ghostbusters? Cause your credibility is dead like a ghost LOL.

God damn you are stupid about this sport. Like just zero insight.

Nonsense. I was exactly right about how the Warriors would approach this game. Lazy, listless and entitled to a win without putting in effort

LOL no. You're just terrible at this.

I'm on record around here being one of Steve Kerr's biggest detractors. But on the other hand how do you view the Warriors ability over the years to 3rd quarter blitz most teams fall into the category of Steve Kerr's coaching. I mean on one hand, you kind of have to give him credit for the half time adjustments. I don't think it's always a matter of the Warriors just flipping a switch.

Just wanted to get your opinion on that.

 

[Montalban]

LOL no. You're just terrible at this.

I was spot on. They lucked up and beat an inferior team playing without its best player on the road. A novice like yourself may not have seen it, but the experts and I agreed; the Warriors were not prepared to play

I believe part of the reason the Warriors had no answers last night was because of Brown being in place of Kerr

 

[CitySushi]

I mean, let's call a spade a spade, he wasn't wrong. He wasn't right, but he definitely wasn't wrong.

The Grizzlies were 20-5 without Ja, showing that at worst they're a tough team even when he's not playing. So let's give them credit. The Warriors shot the ball incredibly poor. That can't be helped. Sometimes the ball just doesn't go in. Usually that happens when 1 or maybe even 2 players have an off night. But it was weird the entire team was off.

But he wasn't wrong in the fact that the Warriors were incredibly sloppy with the ball. The turnovers and poor decisions hurt them tonight.

Again it's all probably moot if the Warriors shoot just poor instead of disastrously bad. Warriors won this game on experience and almost nothing else.

He's just as ridiculously liberal politically

The Warriors just shot the ball incredibly poor. I'm not sure what else Kerr being there could have done to help them put the ball in the hoop. Memphis defense was really good, especially on the back line. They prevented a lot of the easier buckets the Warriors have gotten in this series. Then compound that with their outside shooting was poor.

On the flip side the Warriors played pretty amazing defense as a team. Held the Grizzlies themselves to under 100 points. They don't win this game if they didn't put it together on defense.

Agreed. Its mostly on the players. They seemed lifeless and very careless wit the ball. Perhaps Kerr could have helped with that. I definitely noticed a change in the rotation pattern Brown used from what Kerr usually does. Seemed like he was just throwing something against the wall hoping something would stick.
Not sure why Sacto hired him. This coaching re-tread stuff is silly.
The size difference was really telling.

The first half he was right. Then they handled their shit in the second half. It happens. This isn't the 2017 Warriors, they aren't gonna motorboat every team every quarter. The shots weren't falling, and then they were. I just like to clown that idiot when he makes his ignorant comments about teams being 'lazy' or whatever. They won the game. They aren't all blowouts.

Another post full of nothing but wrong takes.
