Call your shot now: Curry or Durant?

[WiggyRuss]

Nope. Best defense against GS will be a good offense. Some team would have to play out of their minds and score shit tons of points to beat those guys.

just guard em on the 3 point line and out tough them in the middle. They are a very very soft team in the middle again- and will get very little inside scoring. They dont have much size. I think that the blue print to try and beat htem will be to force them off the 3 pt line and beat them up in the middle and on the boards since they dont have much in the middle. Of course- thats easier said then done.

Sounds nice, but I don't think theres a team in the league that could pull that off now. Not for a whole series anyway. They aren't your average shooters.

Never said it would happen. Barring significant injuries, we're gonna have us a rubber match in the Finals.

Just read Vegas has the Ws at the best preseason odds ever to win the Finals. Like 2:3 you get back less than you bet. Never happened before, closest was 1996-97 Bulls.

That is a shit-ton of pressure. They really have to win.

Only other single digit odds were Cavs at like 12-5 and Spurs at 11-2

And I think the Warriors are still a good bet at those odds.

This is Currys team all the way. Durant is a ring chaser and has no heart.

Shocking comment from a Thunder fan. I imagine you felt he had plenty of heart a few months ago.

Apparently most of the money is indeed being bet on them even at those odds. I wouldn't take those odds but they are no doubt favorites. Wiggy Russ makes some good points above. You probably can't beat them 4 out of 7 no matter what, but if you do it will be from exploiting their lack of size and rim protection and inside presence.

But in the end it won't matter. If they give up 130 they will score 140. At least 4 out of 7 times.

He's always been weak man. Russell has been my guy from day 1. If KD had the passion and fire of Russell Westbrook he could actually beat Lebron.

Wait I thought LeBron was a ring chaser with no heart also....

1. Who's more alpha on this Warriors team?
2. Who will average more PPG this season?
3. Who will be higher in the MVP rankings?

Probably will be Durant.

 

[Montalban]

I refuse to participate because I hate the Warriors and everything they stand for.

Jealousy is an ugly thing

 

[tebowGOAT]

1. Who's more alpha on this Warriors team?
2. Who will average more PPG this season?
3. Who will be higher in the MVP rankings?

1. Both are as alpha as one another.
2. Durant.
3. Durant.

I think Curry prefers to win and he will transition to a higher assist PG.

Durant currently leads the Warriors in scoring.

Durant currently leads the Warriors in scoring.

He's averaging 31.3 on 17.7 shots a game. That's crazy efficiency.

Steph by contrast is averaging a measly 25.7 pts a game on 18 shots.

KD slowly making the Warriors his team

Pretty sure that's fine by everyone on the Warriors. It was part of their sales pitch to him. No one cares who gets the glory as long as they're hunting for a championship.

But Klay doesn't look happy. Or is it just his face?

That's just his natural look. Other than Kawhi, he's probably one of the least emotive players in the NBA.

 

[gordontrue]

Klay hasn't been himself. He's due for a couple hot shooting games.
