Warriors are Done

What makes the Draymond Green great isn't that he can play the 4, it's that he can play the 5. An undersized stretch 5 that can guard anyone on the court and is a great passer. Replicate that.Doogles said:

You would pick Green over Westbrook and Durant?allpurpleallgold said:
Who exactly is replicating what Curry and Green do?Doogles said:
They are incredibly talented and better coached. But top end talent I give it to the Thunder.allpurpleallgold said:Steph Curry- best player in the league former top 10 pick
Draymond Green- top 10 player
Klay Thompson- top 10 3 point shooter all time, 11th overall pick
Andrew Bogut- former number 1 overall pick
Harrison Barnes- 1 player coming out of high school former top 10 pick
Andre Igoudala- former top 10 pick
Shaun Livingston- former top 5 pick
The idea that anyone is more talented than Golden State is fucktarded. They work because of all the talent not in spite of it because of teamwork and elbow grease.
The draft position game is easy to play in the NBA.
Durant #2
Kanter #3
Westbrook, Waiters #4
Foye #7
Adams, Collison #12
The Westbrook/Durant combo on Paper is the most ruthless in the NBA. Both guys get the job done in ways nobody else can replicate.
Westbrook makes NBA athletes look like junior high kids. Nobody in the world like him except for pre injury MVP Rose. -
Green would win the title with 3 of the final 4 teams.

Westbrook and Durant fuel game 1 upset on the road with raw talent advantage.

Durant 10-30. Westbrook 7-21. 17-51 combined. 1-8 in crunch time. Westbrook was great in the third quarter, but that's really it. They had bad games otherwise.Doogles said:Westbrook and Durant fuel game 1 upset on the road with raw talent advantage.
The Warriors lost because they went ice cold and because the Thunder's bigs dominated GS's. -
La Marcus Aldridge is a soft lazy loser who the Spurs maxed out.RoadDawg55 said:
Spurs will be fine. With Pop, Leonard, and Aldridge they are set. The Duncan-Parker-Ginobili trio is done though.Doogles said:The AGE finally won. It was an honorable battle, but damn Duncan flat lined at the wrong time.
Parker is still okay, but he's been slipping for awhile. He was great a few seasons ago.
Duncan finally crashed this year. He's finally too old to get by.
Ginobili is a boss, but he's been done for awhile. The fact he doesn't embarrass himself out there is a feat in itself.
Some would call it the beginning of the end or the return to the mid 90's. -

Imagine if they played to their ceiling. Would have been a fucking blowout. You can't have it both ways.RoadDawg55 said:

If Westbrook and Durant play to their ceiling, nobody in the world can beat them. They never do consistently, thus no rings, but top end talent second to none. -
Golden State scored 14 points in the 4th and still had plenty of opportunities to win the game ... Roady is right that they went ice cold ... the question is why/how?
What stood out to me watching the game was that OKC was baiting Draymond Green to beat them with his scoring. They were defending him with smalls like Randy Foye at times trying to get him to post up and kill the GS ball movement or getting bigs on him with the idea that he'd try to drive to the hoop. In either event, that's a shot not coming from Curry/Thompson. If you look at the numbers, Green had 20+ shots and basically the same as Curry/Thompson. That's not GS basketball.
The other HUGE difference in the game was that GS really didn't get anything from their bench in Game 1 compared to OKC getting some fairly substantial contributions. Generally speaking, I'd expect the GS bench to outplay OKC's bench probably 5 out of 7 times in a series. -
It's not over for the Dubs yet.

I think both sides are right on this. The Warriors have assembled a damn near perfect roster that compliments one another very well around the best player in the game, and the Thunder have two transcendent superstars.
Pure talent I think OKC has more, at least where it counts players 9-12 don't matterin the playoffsat any point in the Season baring injury). Actual skill GS has more, probably a lot more. Basically everyone on GS has overachieved their natural gifts whereas you wouldn't call anybody on OKC an overachiever except maybe Westbrook and Adams. -

The argument is if he plays at this level for 4 straight, he has to legitimately be considered. The knock on Curry is he has to play at such an absurdly high level skill wise that it is very improbable he maintains it.RoadDawg55 said:

He doesn't have the Westbrook mold that can just take over. He needs to do video game shit. If KD/RW keep playing like this and Curry goes 7 for 19 or whatever, the Warriors are toast and the conversation is over.
The Thunder are the most talented team, I was right. -
You set your idiotic argument up fine. Thunder are the most talented, so anytime they win you pop off but you also said they're not consistent so anytime they lose you're still right.
The problem is you keep talking. Instead of just winning you keep blabbing, making it more and more obvious that you're a fucktard. Race and Damone perfected this move years ago. You have a long ways to go. -

I know I picked the Cavs, but I can't help pulling for the Thunder. What a cool day it would be to see them pick up their 2nd ring. It's been such a long wait for that franchise. It would be cool if Cleveland won, but LeBron already won it and Durant is a good guy.
-
If Durant loses he's a good guy. Lebron loses and the haters cum in their pants.
Durant is playing better than ever and Westbrook is really buying in. -
I think what I'm saying is either way I win because I don't give a shit about basketball.

Also worth a mention:RaceBannon said:If Durant loses he's a good guy. Lebron loses and the haters cum in their pants.

Billy Donovan is a really good coach and/or Scott Brooks is the worst coach in NBA history. -
Russ has made Curry his bitch this series.

Something is still wrong with Curry post-injury. Cavs in 7 over the zombie-Sonics.

The Thunder would still be starting Kendrick Perkins if Brooks was still there.TierbsHsotBoobs said:

The annoying thing about all of this is Sam Presti is going to get some credit.

Warriors can't board and can't score right now ... that's a recipe to get run off the court in this series.
Hard to see them winning 3 in a row to finish off this series with the way it is going. -
They gave up 72 in the first half. Their defense is even worse.Tequilla said:Warriors can't board and can't score right now ... that's a recipe to get run off the court in this series.
