If the Clippers beat SAS, it will say a lot about them IMO. I said this before, but I would consider them Finals bound if it happens. Their bench got to step up, though.
 
I don't think you quite understand what I'm saying . I didn't say anything was wrong with their offense.

. My question is what happens when they are in the playoffs and meet a team where their offense gets toned down and it becomes more of a defensive battle? Looking at their record, you rarely saw them in the last 3 months get knocked in a mouth by a contending team. San Antonio did it. They out hustled them, toned their offense down and never looked back. I want to know how GSW responds in a defensive series. That's all.

And trying to compare these games where they blew Memphis out and looking at being locked in a playoff series is a lot different

. For instance, you didn't hear anyone talk about TA being able to lock up Durant during the season last year. You really never heard it all. But, look at how effective he was against him last year in the playoffs? When you can sit these guys down and study tape on a team for days knowing that's your matchup for at least 4 games straight, A WHOLE LOT changes.

GSW blew Memphis out when Memphis played 15 games in 24 days and during a stretch Memphis wasn't playing well. Nice. They also blew them out when Memphis was without their starting backcourt. Good job. None of that matters when both teams are locked up in a series. I just think it would make one hell of a series, though.
I understand exactly what you said in your post, if you misspoke about what you actually meant, that's another thing

You didn't say anything was wrong with their offense, I'm asking you what your beef with it is? You seem to think that "it's going to come down to their offense", is that some sort of bad thing? 

Golden State blew out Memphis with Gasol, ZBO, Allen, Lee and Conley. Nice job of trying to be slick
 
Gotta love the long list of excuses. My favorite - they werent playing well. Like their opponent doesnt deserve credit for that?

Dude mentions the Warriors in a majority of his posts. Its kind of weird how much my team is on your mind.

When it comes down to their offense and they are being shut down by an elite defense? Your initial post stated something about their offense not being the most important thing and that it was their defense. That's why I brought it up.

And you're right. They blew them out when they played their 15th game in 24 nights. The Clippers blew the Grizz out, the Nuggets beat the Grizz by 30 with a healthy squad, Cavs, Spurs also blew the Grizz out. It doesn't mean a thing when they play in a series. Just like the Grizz sweeping Portland 4-0 during the season doesn't mean Memphis will automatically win the series.

Its not an excuse being given. Its showing that getting beat or blown out in a regular season game does have many other factors. If you want to make that translate into a playoff series going the same way, then so be it. That wouldn't make sense to me, though. This is the same forum where people laughed at Indiana fans talking about how they dominated the Heat during the regular season....I can bring up many other examples if you like. The same thing goes for everyone bashing the Hawks for beating up on contending teams like it doesn't mean anything because it was the regular season. Call a spade for a spade. If you think it means something, don't try to apply it to SOME matchups.

And maybe you should check my post history. I don't know who you are, but I'm sure the majority of my posts are related to the NBA in general and the Grizz.

How would any team react when being shut down by an elite defense?

 You are singling out Golden State for reasons I am still trying to figure out, I asked you 3 or 4 times now what exactly is wrong with Golden State's offense or what your beef with it is. My initial post made the point that their elite defense would be more important than how they score the basketball. They have proven they can score, from the outside and the inside.

Stop with your excuses. My point in bringing up the regular season series was to tell you that Memphis isn't some sort of kryptonite to the Warriors, the Warriors fared just fine against the Grizzlies

I dont need to check anything. You mention Golden State all the ******* time. :lol:

Yea, I don't think neither of us are understanding each other :lol: . I've basically been talking about how GSW blow teams out due to their high powered offense and elite defense. They are rarely punched in the mouth and tested from a standpoint where their offense loses the battle against an elite defense and THEIR defense needs to win the ball game. There have not been many situations like that during the regular season due to their dominance and the ONLY thing I brought up was how would they respond in a tight playoff series against an elite defense :lol: . I didn't mean for it to go on for 10 pages. We've seen most of these contending teams go down to the wire several times this season in tough games, but we just haven't seen it much from GSW. Give them a lot of credit for being dominate, but I would like to see how they perform in those situations.

I dont need to check anything. You mention Golden State all the ******* time. :lol:

Bet on it then. :wink:

Wrong. Not even close.

Dude cries out our entire roster in cold sweat after he falls asleep at his keyboard.

GSW fans believe everything that comes out of their own mouths in regard to their team.
That surety has now crossed over into everyday life, giving them this false hope that everything they want to be true, is true.

Edit: let me just stop there, sorry if I offended anyone

What?

BHZ is a homer

He talks about the Grizzles the most then other western teams sometimes

If he's talking about the Warriors it's because they are contenders the same way you would talk about Heat or Thunder last season

He isn't some hater or anything :lol:

Some GSW fans are going to need friends around when/if GSW gets bounced, to keep them safe from themselves, good news is, life can still go on after a loss this year in a playoff series



Deep philsophical analysis there, bud. Heres my take. Dude thinks he knows more about basketball than he really does. Spews some ******** opinions and one fanbase with a heavy fan presense gets on his case for talking out of his ***. Dude develops insecurities and a grudge against that team and their fans. Starts acting like a scorned broad and never does improve on his lack of basketball knowledge.

And what do you know about life when you spend all of yours here?

[h1]Stephen Curry says Warriors' season will be failure if they don't win title[/h1]
"For the players, it is," Curry told Yahoo Sports. "No one will be happy for anything less. If we don't win our last game this season it's going to be a disappointing feeling, one where we felt like we fell short."

The Warriors enter the postseason with a league-high and franchise-record 67 wins, as well as home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. Golden State is led by Curry, the 3-point champion and a Most Valuable Player candidate. None of the Warriors was born when Rick Barry, Jamaal Wilkes and coach Al Attles led the franchise to the last title

I think he's mad at me that David Lee is out, again, for the Playoffs.

I'm not mad at that Based dude for claiming responsibility for OKC's demise once again.

Difference between reality and delusions of graduer, though.

godspeed Lee, come back quick G
 
I agree with everything BHZ posted about Warriors.

Cute regular season run but in the playoffs they're gonna be expose.

That doesnt even make sense.
 
All that just to say the Warriors ultimately haven't been tested. Damn you BHZ :lol:

:lol: my bad.

and what's up with this wooster cat? :lol: please don't tell me he's a golden state fan. most of those fans are the only ones that see "hate" whenever i mention them. we talking about basketball, bruh. its nothing personal against your team :lol: . i mean what exactly do you want people to say about them? they are the best? they are greatness? etc etc...every damn team in the nba has some sort of weakness or they fail in some sort of way. the point of posting in a nba forum is to discuss how you view other teams, players, matchups, etc. if you think my analysis about them means "hate", then i'm not exactly sure what you would like for me to say. :lol:

i've probably said something bad about every team in the west (including mine).

"great" teams get beat. i would rather some of those "fans" start giving out opinions about their team than always trying to protect their team against what others say about them. i rarely see it.
