Series Thread: WCF: 1) Golden State Warriors vs 3) Portland Trail Blazers

I mean, yeah I guess.

But also that was a pretty terrible lineup with Klay, Cook, McKinnie, Livingston and Bell

Sorry, but you really shouldn't trot that lineup out there in a playoff game. Kerr needs to stagger his starters minutes better. Just not enough offense out there.

They have to. That's how they used to play. Keep people fresh and out of foul trouble for the important moments. Difference is this time is that they lost 2 guys who they relied on for significant minute real late. It doesn't matter who they are, and they're both obviously really good players, but it could have been any 2 guys that booked that many minutes on the team going down and it would hurt.

Slowing Curry is more important than taking advantage of him defensively, IMHO.

You realize he had like 37 8 and 8 right?

The best way to slow Curry is to get him in foul trouble. McCollum can do that. Seth Curry can't.

No.

Either Draymond or Iggy has to be on the floor with Klay while Curry is down.

There were zero playmakers in that lineup. Nobody to create anything.

Kerr can do a better job staggering his guys.

Klay was out there. I love him as a Warrior and things always come around eventually because he's one of the greatest shooters ever but he's streaky and he isn't a top shelf star that ca just take matters in his own hands and create a shot.

As far as who should be out there, everybody has mileage and Kerr obviously knows how to manage minutes. This is what it looks like when you're managing a short bench.

 

[Montalban]

You never offered what I get when I win

Yes I did.

 

[Montalban]

I really don't understand what's so funny?

Are you also daring to question his skills as an internet diagnostician?

They know better. They've been burned by my astute analysis to many times.

 

[msgkings322]

Yes I did.

No you told me what I have to do if I lose. So humor me, tell me the post you said it or make the offer again.

 

[Montalban]

No I didn't. I told you you could choose what you wanted from me but it could not include any of your sexual fantasies

 

[msgkings322]

That's right you did, my mistake. I can't think of anything that doesn't involve me fantasizing about you sexually though.

Klay is not a playmaker.

He is a great player. But you need at least 1 ball handler/creator on the floor with him for him to be successful. An intelligent big screener would help too. He had none of that.

And no. That is my point. Kerr is a very good coach overall, but he is not good at managing his rotations. Draymond and Looney need to be in with Klay. Curry, on the other hand, could possibly carry a lineup like that.

I think he has gotten better at it though. IIRC, he used to rarely drive to the hoop.

 

[Mecca]

Not sure yet. Gonna try to go this weekend. But there's a group of us trying to go together, so we have to try to coordinate everyone.

One word for you.....

HOLYFUCKINGSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!!

I was skeptical because of the star power.

Nope.

As Fucking FANTASTIC as ever.

Like, seriously...

I can't even remember the last time I liked a movie, outside XMen, that Halle Berry was in.

 

[Mecca]

Olshey LOVES Aminu. I could see Aminu getting a deal close to Lillard's. Clear staple point in this franchise moving forward.

No fucking way....lol

Bad enough he passed on George to draft him.

He's not making another Evan Turner mistake.

 

[The Derski]

This is Steph’s team. You could make the Knicks interesting, KD.

Can't wait.

Portland better play all four quarters tonight.

That's never been questioned....but the fact of the matter is, the Dubs are gonna need KD if they win this series.....especially if they have to face Milwaukee in the finals.

FTR: I would love to see KD in a Knicks uni for the next few years.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Damien Jones getting the start at C for GS?

 

[gohusk]

Did Andre just flip off the camera?

 

[Black Adam]

Dubs a Lotta mistakes early...
