Choke must be the biggest misused words in sports

How did you sprain your ankle, did you reach through the computer screen & kick Wiggy?

Hahaha celebrating when Curry tied the game @ 99 with a 3. Last time I drink Heineken & celebrate @ the same time.

From my perspective, two things stand out.

1. Golden State should not be doing what they are doing. A team that is so one dimensionally should not be 5 wins away from back-to-back NBA Championships. This is an aberration that no othet team better tay and cope their formula because it won't work.

2. Throughout these playoffs, I have been ready to pronounce Russell Westbrook as a matured player who is finally getting it all together. Then the last 3 minutes of last night happened and he became 2012 PanicRuss all over again.

I'm thinking the latter of your post gets worse in game 7 on the road.

Over/under on years until she's in one of those motorized scooters because her ass is too big for her to be able to walk without dislocating her knees? Five years?

In 5 years she'll be the size of a mid-size SUV. I think she'll be zooming around on 1 of those scooters in 3 or 4 weeks.

Nope not at all, just find it ironic is all. I gave GS props on the win way before the post you are alluding to, in case you didn't notice, which it is obvious you didn't....

You giving props to GSW has nothing to do with the post I commented on.

A one dimensional team does not simply win 73 games of they're truly a one dinensional team

Seriously why so salty?

 

[Hambombs]

I disagree. Curry was pretty quiet for most of the game til late in the 3rd. Klay was doing pretty much all of the heavy lifting last night til late in the 4th

29 points 10 rebounds 9 assists. Lets not act like he wasn't showing up all game

 

[Heatles84]

I don't think he's being salty. He's just mentioning that Klay and Steph are such great shooters that teams shouldn't try to replicate their success with the same gameplan. Because how many shooters come out like those two?

 

[RobToxin]

Seriously why so salty?

So giving credit to a team for being able to win with a style of basketball nobody else could ever win with makes me salty.

Geeze Warrior fans are touchy today.

Maybe because it wasn't as difficult for them to put the Spurs away.

Seriously. 2 great teams are meeting in a super competitive series and all anybody wants to talk about is the mistakes.

When OKC went up 3-1, Golden State was choking. Now it is OKC's turn? C'mon guys. These are the two best teams in the league. Somebody has to lose. That does not mean they are chokers. People are talking more in this thread about Westbrook and Durant's failures than they are about Klay's history making performance. That is wrong.

The first point kinda came across that way when he said they are one dimensional.

But you're pretty much saying all they do is shoot 3s well. What about the defense?!

I think some see it as choking because they went away from what was working to play 2 man hero ball.

What about the defense?!

I didn't take it as salty, Ham.

Some basketball purists just don't believe in the Warriors style of basketball because it goes against what has been done historically.

I personally disagree with him and Barkley....etc

Somebody has to be a trailblazer. Looks like it's the Warriors.

He is spot on in his Westbrook criticism too.

Just because somebody doesn't agree with you, doesn't make them a hater.

Score one point more than the other team.
