Series Thread: WCF: Golden State Warriors vs Houston Rockets

I go by points against. That's how many points you give up per game. that is Defense.

It's somewhat of an indicator not the end all stat...

 

[purguy12]

Um that's cause they played at the fastest pace, you get a clue man lol

I got a clue that's why They are ranked 15th. Facts are Facts. Don't get butt hurt over it.

Opponents FG% means nothing to you? What about pace adjusted stats?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Last years Spurs team would be the Warriors. Historically great haha. Like I said lets what before we call them great in general. Regular season, no doubt, but that isnt everything.

 

[purguy12]

I will give them a little credit for FG%. They are #1 there but their 3pt % is 5th.

I don't get butthurt over false statements, I go to sleep knowing they were the best defensive team

I agree, 1 championship doesn't make you great. At least win a couple. Damn these fans are crazy. They love throwing Great around.

The 2001 Lakers would destroy the 2015 Warriors just like they destroyed everyone that postseason. No one could guard Shaq back then.

They would get destroyed by Shaq. Then if they double him they had very good shooters...ohh and a guy named Kobe.

They didn't even win yet plus they have played 2 teams that lost a major piece of their team. I don't see anything great with this playoff run.

So if a team gives up 92 points in 100 possessions but the other team gives up 85 in 150 possessions, who is the better defensive team?

 

[purguy12]

Look I hope GS wins but it makes it tough when you have fans like this. Clueless and Homers

That's not right. A team that has a slower pace will give up less points, not fair to a pace GS plays. Just bc they give up points means nothing. Holding the opponent to a low FG pct is the key.

Do the math who's better on defense? It's simple math. That's what pace is

 

[bksballer89]

Very true. LBJ is one of the greatest floppers ever.

Rose flops more than James actually. He do that head snap back on every drive so you shouldn't be talking

 

[Hambombs]

I don't know how it's hard to get that when you play at a faster pace you will give up more points

arguing with Purguy is a waste of time.

 

[Montalban]

Uh, the Lakers have won 5 championships this century. I don't remember seeing any of those 5 teams miss 15 layups in one game. Heck, I'm not even sure I saw THIS seasons 21 win team miss that many in a game (although I'm pretty sure they came close a couple of times).

I'm reminded of that Jethro Tull song "Livin' In The Past".

 

[Pattersonca65]

LOL, You know this thread is starting to go off the rail when the conversation turns into an argument over whether the current GS team can beat another NBA team from a decade ago.

 

[Montalban]

no looks like you are. Just chill out and learn a little.

Stop whining. Your team choked, mine didn't. Live with it.

I've already noticed that thanks lol
