GS was 1-1 in the finals without Durant and beat the Thunder like a drum

Quite honestly there is no way that GS should not be going for a 4 Peat other then the loser who is being maligned here finding a way to beat them even without Brad Steven's as coach

Draymond doesn't lose his mind and get ejected in Game 4/suspended in Game 5 (2016), the loser myth is still intact.

That was one of 3 in a row they lost to the loser

The Thunder should have won that series, and it took insane shooting from Klay Thompson, but sure, GS beat them like a drum.

This has nothing to do with LeBron. I’m on board with him being the best or 2nd best player of all time.

Your Stevens obsession is moronic. Every team but maybe GS and San Antonio would trade coaches if they could. Maybe that’s the reason we think he’s a good coach?

Pop will be done soon, so you could include the Spurs on that list

I don't have the Stevens obsession

That's been made clear

Roadie is right, Thompsons game 6 is what saved that series.

Gordon Hayward has never won shit and didn't play all year and may not be on the team next year since his replacement is better than him

Irving is injury prone. His greatest value was in leaving Cleveland and sticking them with IT. He may not be a part either.

The guys they have are playing great. You can't over achieve any more than you can give 110%.

You are who you are. Boston is good players, high picks, playing great ball. Its a players league and that's that

It’s 2018 not 1985. Boston doesn’t have a Hayward replacement. Brown, Tatum and Hayward all start together.

Rox have really eaten dogshit in the 4th this year, this is far from over.

They pretty obviously have replaced Hayward

RaceBannon

And Utah was better this year after losing him. I mean he played a quarter of the first game this year.

However many they can win at home because they arent winning a game in Oakland.

Offense is about creating opportunities for yourself and your teammates.

Shooting spaces the floor and in theory makes it easier for penetration.

Guys that can shoot but can’t create are dependent on others for offense.

If the creators in that system can’t create or more importantly if defenses don’t help to the point of creating opportunities for dependent shooters, then the offense really bogs down.

You don’t need to have all stars. Shooting is obviously valuable. But there are other offensive skills as well.

You are describing Rajon Rando and Evan Turner. Bother of whom killed their teams in the series they lost. Can you give me an example of a player that you’re talking about that doesn’t kill his team?

Rondo didn’t kill his team - they got beat by a better team.

Marcus Smart fits my description

The Pelicans scored 95 points per 100 possessions with Rondo on the court. An abysmal number. The worst of all their starters. Golden State is better, that doesn’t mean Rondo didn’t hurt them. He was one of the biggest reasons why.

I love Smart, dude, but he’s going to get 15+ million a season this off season. That’s for a guy that shoots 36% from the field. The reason why is because there aren’t many guys like him. Ariza and Tucker cost a combined 15 million this season.
