Montalban's official bitch about the Warriors thread (2018-19)

[gohusk]

Great win against the Rockets but the whole contest just seemed "meh" as far as the energy level from the players. It's like none of the teams care about seeding or home court anymore. Hopefully this W's team does get the 4th because they look like a team with some guys who can't stand the site of each other anymore.

What game were you watching to draw this conclusion? LOL. That's absurd.

How's it absurd? Just didn't have a playoff feel to it. Both teams seem to be a little burnt out right now and can't wait for the playoffs to begin.

The Rockets were on a 9 game winning streak and had a 3-0 record to date in the regular season against the Warriors. You don't think they were motivated to win that game, considering they were at full strength and at home? And conversely the Warriors hadn't won a game all year against them, and were without Durant. Steph Curry said before the game it was important to them and they were taking them seriously. From the play I saw on the court, neither team looked lethargic and/or uninterested. Both were fighting for the game which maybe bogged it down a bit and may have been construed as lack of effort. But the Warriors locked down defensively against the Rockets and held them in check for most of the night, sans their late run.

Its interesting how the Warriors play better as a team without Durant. No denying he's a brilliant player but the defensive intensity in OKC, the ball movement and shot selection appeared so much better again just as it did in Houston.
I wonder if the get lazy knowing they have Durant and that he will bail them out with some ISO ball.
Getting dominated on the boards is still an issue but they've looked good.

Stephen Adams is a handful down low.

Thank goodness it was a "she" who said it.

What a shame for Cousins. Worked so hard to come back from injury and now this. I wish him the best.

 

[Montalban]

The laziness and lethargy was back again last night in San Antonio.

Wariors - Mavericks Mavs by 35. LOL!

Almost like Steph wasn’t even on the court.


Look, when you go 4-30 from downtown (vs 21-49), you ain’t gunna win. Don’t matter who you are.

LOL! That's the most lame excuse I've heard from you yet; and you've come up with some really lame ones.

Andre Iguodala also knows Bell's growing pains. During last year's playoff run, Bell missed an optional workout. In response, Iguodala sent a video message to Bell saying, “Optional workouts do not apply to you. It only applies to four or five people on the team, and you are not one of them.”

Gotta love Iguodala.

 

[calsnowskier]

Yeah...

Bell won’t be back next year. Guy kinda sounds like a cancer.

He probably just needs to grow up.

 

[Montalban]

Another 19-point lead blown and a crushing loss to a non playoff team. How embarrassing.

 

[Montalban]

What the fuck is Durant's problem? Is he losing his mind. This faux tough guy, outrage stuff is getting ridiculous.

You just love inventing reasons to complain.

The team played a great game last night. Way to single out the lone negative.

The team did play well yesterday and locked up the #1 seed. But did you see the fool get kicked out of the biggest game of the year? What is wrong with him? Everyone knows he is a bitch; a talented bitch yes, but a bitch just the same. Why is he pulling this tough guy nonsense now?

Speaking of locking up the best record, that puts the Warriors on a direct collision course with a team that could very easily beat the Warriors and knock them out in the first round this year. That would be the ultimate apropos ending for this ridiculous season.
