Series Thread: 2nd Round: Golden State Warriors vs Utah Jazz

[TJL]

Nice block by Livingston.

Mike Browb is subbing like this game is over. A lot of time left still and the margin is less than 20. Very risky and unnecessary move, IMO. Too early.

Meh, the Ws subs are good so they can handle it

lol I was thinking the same thing

Probably, but what if THey don't?

 

[msgkings322]

Gonna miss Clark and Livingston next year. Hopefully McCaw steps up.

 

[tlance]

Utah has their subs in too, but was still too early, IMO.

What's amusing is the spread was 13...Utah may cover now

 

[Heatles84]

Wow

 

[msgkings322]

Wow

Just shows the Ws are way more than a 3 point shooting team, unlike say the Rockets (all 3s and FTs)

 

[Hambombs]

That's insane. Heard warriors were 1 of few teams the last few years to finish 2nd or better on defense and offense in the last 40 years

 

[bksballer89]

Wow

Turnovers leading to a ridiculous amount of fast break points did the jazz in. Must keep those numbers extremely low.

You could see it coming....

I absolutely hated this. I can't even imagine what he's thinking. It's a damn playoff game! Curry understandably should have sat with that ankle tweak, but pulling starters with nearly 4 minutes to go and only a 17 point lead is ridiculous. That's nothing in the NBA. Especially when the garbage time unit is out there.

He better not pull this shit again. Kerr would definitely have waited at least till the 2 minute mark. That's usually the safe zone to run out clock.

Edit: wasn't just the starters it was the second unit too. McGee, iguodala, Livingston, west all sat too

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Fuck. If Utah just had one more guy who could create on his own...

It's alright. Just one game.

It doesn't matter, the Warriors were coasting last night and still won with hilarious ease.

They are just too good, people talk about the easy road the Cavs have, which is just, but the way the Warriors are playing, their path might as well be just as easy because the Spurs/Rockets have just about no chance either.

Everyone talks about the Warriors only being able to hit 3's, yet they made less 3's than the Jazz last night and were in total control of the whole game. They play overall great basketball and somehow their defense gets lost in the mix.

I think Houston can push them to 6 strictly because of scoring.

That's the most overlooked thing about the Warriors. I agree.

Thats funny, cause some of the buzz in Cleveland is people mad at Lue for having the starters still in with 4 minutes to go up by 18.

I wasn't watching the Dubs game closely by that time, but sometimes it just depends on the current flow of the game and when the other coach decide to throw in the towel.

I agree, I think it'll look somewhat like Pacers/Cavs, Jazz will fight hard and make all the games tough, but Curry/KD/Klay/Green are just too much.

Going to take another miraculous series by Bron and Kyrie again to beat them, and that might not even be enough.

Do I see your white flag already??
