maybe biyombo is 27 also and that's why he's primed and ready . Son is a grown *** man going up against bron and love

If you're Draymond, do you just continue to kick Adams in the nuts? Take out one of their bigs with no serious consequences. It's worth a shot imo.


Everything I've learned about basketball is telling me GSW wins tonight but there is a reason they play the games. Patiently waiting.

@HoopsHype: Kevin Love is shooting 42.5 percent from three, 30.7 percent on two-pointers.

Well when you never get the ball in your spots and have been demoted to standing I the corner waiting for threes...

I'm saying, every one of his touches in the block turns into an iso until he decides to fade away over his left foot and chuck.

He's so afraid he's never going to get the ball there again, and doesn't want to let it go unless he's shooting it

Of course they are going to win. This series will go 6 or 7.

OKC Will take it though. I was laughing when people said Durant and Russ where not enough to beat them. Well they were right. Waiters, Robertson Adams are playing their part as well

 

[Hank Scorpio]

It's low hanging fruit man. People want to conveniently ignore that Kevin Love spent his entire career working on the left block then the guy who was still the best player in the league at the time decided that he didn't want to play anywhere else but the low block and forced Kevin Love to play a game he was never suited to play.

A $110MM scapegoat. That's what Kevin Love is.

That Chris Bosh role

If OKC wins, the warrirors will take the place of the 07' Patriots as the biggest let down team of all time.

Lebbywinks didn't score a single point in the last 5:28 of the game.

Huh.

YIKES!

Can't wait to see how the stat nerds interpret this as a clutch performance.

You really expect this guy to stay calm?

He's coming for that man's love spuds.

 

[HOU$TON]

Yep at least patriots made it to the Super Bowl

Cant agree with you more. Also it takes the "GREATEST TEAM MONIKER" that people have attached to them out of the equation as well.

Kevin Love decided to be a 3 pt specialist prior to ever joining LeBron. Dude was chucking 7 3's a game in Minny and NT loved him for it

 

[MVP]

YIKES!

According to LePassiveAggressive himself he played 46 minutes and did everything individually in his gameplan he was supposed to do. So one is to infer from that, they help needs to step up.

That's funny as **** to read

Is that a better option than Lebron in the elbow, Lebron in the post, Lebron PNR, Kyrie PNR or Kyrie ISO tho? Has Love had any sustained success in the post outside of the times he's guarded by a wing off a switch? Is he drawing doubles or getting guys in foul trouble?

I don't think so. Lue should do a better job of getting Love involved when Lebron is off the floor but if you're the third option on a team with 2 offensive stars, you gotta get it how you can. A good shooter or good finisher would absolutely be cooking with all the attention Lebron draws. For some reason, Love is neither right now (he was hot from 3 to start this post season though)

Love in the weak side post hasn't even been all that impressive either. Maybe it's just been the last few games, but he's usually backing down the defender only to take a contested jump hook or a fade away that more often than not misses. Toronto actually seems content with Love being in the left post and taking those shots.

You can't deny the fact that Billy D has tried just about everything with this team. His willingness to adjust on the fly throughout the season and even right now can't be understated. But it also does help that they've been healthy for the first time since that Finals run.

I will give Donovan credit for using the super big line up. Putting Kanter and Adams both on the floor at the same time has been their "killer" lineup.

He was making 2.3 threes a game but scoring 26 points. I'm no math major but I'd say he was doing more than just jacking up threes all day.

Just a quick note to folks calling for Frye to start over Love.

Why over Love? Just bring Tristan off the bench instead.
