Official 2016 NBA Playoffs Thread: Conference Finals: Warriors / Thunder | Cavs / Raptors

[freeze]

73 wins is still legendary. it will just have small print under it *did not win title*

but dont try and act like 73 wins is small potatoes. Playoffs are a different beast that seasonal play where you may see a team twice in a year. Playoffs, you have one focus, one team, one scheme. And you play every other night. Spurs were the 2nd best in the L all season too and got mopped just as easily

No excuses though. A team wins that many, they are certainly expected to go all the way, but matchups mean everything in the post season and thunder are a matchup nightmare for anybody.


and no, i dont think the 73 wins has any impact on how they play now. I dont think theyre fatigued or anything. Theyre just losing games, nothing really deep about why. Thunder are just playing better. And BIGGER.

They're playing Steph with physicality. Dude is running around all game, has to be exhausting.

Mmmhmmm

Y'all Have a good night

Curry isn't that bad of a defender

He hides on defense unless he can sneak a steal or read telegraphed pass for a steal. Plays D maybe 5% of the game

It seems to me that you were down much longer than NikeTalk - and spent less time offline.

I don't buy that. Him and Klay are a pretty good backcourt tandem on the defensive end and consistently make good switches on the fly. Sure Klay is the better on ball defender, but that doesn't mean Steph is like Nash or Clarkson on D.

 

[gothmog]

you guys are dellusional saying the cavs may lose to the raptors tonight , aside all the hate and trolling the raptors are very dependant on their home court and cavalliers also play far faster/better in front of their crowd , kevin love wont miss those shot for 3rd straight game , i doubt it will be a blowout like the first 2 games since the raps got a self boost with those 2 wins but the cavs big 3 will beat em tonight

provide some numbers.



so you feel you know something the voters dont ey? should you say something? I kind of feel you should say something. you should probably say something. The world is waiting on a hero such as you to speak the truth and free the world from that which the masses are blinded by. or whatever the hell you're rambling about.

Want some numbers? Sure:

Damian Lillard - 51 points vs Warriors (season high)

Damian Lillard - 40 points vs Warriors

Damian Lillard - 38 points vs Warriors

John Wall - 41 points vs Warriors (season high)

Kyle Lowry - 41 points vs Warriors (two below season high)

Chris Paul - 35 points vs Warriors (tied for second highest scored in the season)

Derrick Rose - 29 points vs Warriors (almost double his regular season average)

Just about every star point guard had their best or among his best games against that one particular team that Stephen Curry is the point guard of. Out of 30 teams. It's all one big coincidence I guess. And it's not really the numbers but the fact that he never guards the opponents' best players. I'm the one rambling? Dude, the other day you said that Draymond Green shouldn't get suspended because the kick in the groin was too obvious for it to be on purpose. 

 Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

"Yes, your honor, the footage from that security camera definitely shows me robbing that liquor store, but come on, if I really wanted to rob that store, would I really do it that blatantly? Sticking my gun at the store clerk while yelling at him to put the money in the bag? I mean, doing it that obviously would be flat out stupid. I clearly don't deserve any jail time and should be released right away."

Can't believe I fell asleep & missed it as it happened

 

[everysingletime]

Really liked Steph's post-game. When asked if he was hurt, he said 'I'm fine.' When asked about his play, he said, 'I will be better.'

Now all that's left is to back it up with his play.

Shaun Livingston and Iggy have a higher DFG% compared to Curry

 

[antidope]

I missed a lot of these Chester gifs. Hilarious.

Really not sure what this post season has to do with the MVP.

how long are we allowed to like the thunder before its looked down upon on NT ? The guy saying that liking more than one team in a sport takes away a persons credibility and basically makes them irresponsible lmao
