There's a lot you don't get. You take too simplistic a view of nba. They left roberson unguarded so he does what dwayne wade would do. Cut. All the sudden it's open season on the rim
5/22/2016 8:24:04 PM
thats not true as long as adams is on the floor then his man can shade over on the cut. Yes roberson could cut, get the ball and dish to adams but you rather make them run offense through those players than westbrook and durant.The advantage of cutting off westbrook and durants drive outweights the disadvantage that roberson might get some layups. It also has to be green roaming. Bogut/Ezeli are not agile enough to play that role they will get stuck in no mans land and blown by by westbrook even if they meet him in the paint.[Edited on May 22, 2016 at 8:30 PM. Reason : they gave up 20 points in the first quarter on wednesday]
5/22/2016 8:28:58 PM
green just cost them the championship with this suspension/ejection[Edited on May 22, 2016 at 8:49 PM. Reason : thats gotta be a flagrant 2]
5/22/2016 8:48:22 PM
Golden state can not match up with okc when Kanter is off the floor. Period
5/22/2016 9:00:48 PM
He should have been ejected. League has to suspend him for game 4. He's one of the dirtiest guys in the league. Put him on the Clippers with CP3 and you'd have the least likeable team of all time.

steve kerr exposed
5/22/2016 9:06:01 PM
Okc is like that ex girlfriend you knew was bad but cheated on you. You swore her off like she wasn't good enough.You latched onto gsw because they were the best option when every girl turned you down (everyone got hurt)But goddam not only can okc still suck dick but they lost 10 lbs. Cleveland is still the best team tho
5/22/2016 9:08:58 PM
why is green playing almost the entire half? he has made awful plays all half on both sides. kerr has no control. He also made the same idiotic move of taking curry and thompson out at the same time and then they both get out of rhythm together. Also, peights 2 minutes??? ezeli 4 minutes???
5/22/2016 9:13:16 PM
Eman....your analysis is a joke. This is a blowout, you are focused on minutae
5/22/2016 9:16:43 PM
Its a blowout now but it wasn't about 3 minutes ago.Also fyi, OKC is -8 with Kanter on the floor tonight.
5/22/2016 9:18:38 PM
Yup, Kanter being out means that Draymond won't be nearly as effective. Adams is much better defensively.Yeah, Draymond played too many minutes in that first half especially for how ineffective he was.This game is over. I'm still calling OKC in 6.
5/22/2016 9:34:42 PM
did the 95-96 Bulls ever get their asses handed to them like this?
5/22/2016 9:42:48 PM
no but they also didn't play a team like this[Edited on May 22, 2016 at 9:43 PM. Reason : players looking at kerr and he has no idea what to do. ]
5/22/2016 9:43:18 PM
I mean, they played the Shaq/Penny/Dennis Scott/Nick Anderson Magic and the Sean Kemp/The Glove Sonics. Why is OKC so much better than those teams?
5/22/2016 9:47:07 PM
Sometimes GSW act like they don't care to show up. Then again, maybe Curry & Thomspson just check out when Bogut and Barnes are sucking.
5/22/2016 9:47:10 PM
Marilyn manson was the god of fuck Third eye blind was the god of wineAnd I'm the god of nba predictions
5/22/2016 9:47:21 PM
they have 2 of the top 6 players in the league. Just to give you some perspective, this years spurs had the 7th best record in nba history and they beat them pretty easily. Different animal.
5/22/2016 9:50:55 PM
Draymond should be super glad that Perk isn't on this OKC team anymore. If Perk is there Draymond is short a couple of teeth by now.He's a great player but a total douche. Golden State is vulnerable to a team that can really rebound and is adequate at switching on the perimeter. If they make the finals they'll have the same problem with Cleveland. They aren't going to win if Steph and Klay are both cold in the same game. It's iffy if one of them is having an off night, but the lack of a true third option kills them. It should be Barnes, but his balls have just pulled right up into his stomach in the playoffs.
5/22/2016 9:52:49 PM
you can't rest them both at the same time. you have to let one get going with the bench because you can't run plays for both at the same time. when you take them out together they are both out then when they come back in you are going to one more than the other and suddenly a quarter has gone by without one being featured. i knew they were doomed when they went with barnes iggy livingston ezeli and green. look at any of the teams with perimeter tandems and you can't take your tandem out at the same time in a big playoff game. The same goes for lowry and derozan, durant and westbrook or lebron kyrie. Unless of course, the game is over.[Edited on May 22, 2016 at 9:57 PM. Reason : series over]
5/22/2016 9:56:28 PM
the fact that draymond turned around to yell and brag the first time he pulled this shit and then did it even worse tonight should earn a suspension, man if GSW just flames out like this, 2015 had to be one of the lamest playoffs of all time
5/22/2016 10:03:53 PM
lmao he finnally puts speights in down 40 in the 4th qtr
5/22/2016 10:05:56 PM
Curry is dead and no one cares if there is a hell I'll see green there
5/22/2016 10:06:18 PM
Bomani Jones throws out a lot of hot takes, but he was right about this GSW team being cocky and unlikable. People act like Steph is this humble, lovable superstar but he's not. Everybody just ingores him starring people down and talking shit.I mean, I don't really care, it's part of the game, but if that was Lebron or KD doing that people would never stop yelling about it. Skip's head would explode.
5/22/2016 10:11:39 PM
It wasn't like that a few months back though. The Warriors have kind of morphed from an underdog, fast paced fun team to the cocky assholes. Steph has become Cam.#shoot #addanothernote
5/22/2016 10:12:48 PM
That's actually a pretty good comparison that I hadn't thought of before, although I don't think hey were ever underdogs except maybe in terms of breaking the record.
5/22/2016 10:14:31 PM
yeah underdog was a shitty word. more like, baby faced.
5/22/2016 10:15:23 PM
maybe its just me but it seems like this years playoffs has been all blowouts. its like once a team gets up by 15-20 the other team just quits moreso than years before.
5/22/2016 10:21:17 PM
lol Draymond's post game explanation is so much bullshit. He was simply "following through on a shot and (his) leg went up" and he expects it to be rescinded.
5/22/2016 11:01:37 PM
Hi friends i often do enough drugs people have to shake me uncontrollably he next morning to know I'm still alive.Please grant me this wish if I'm not able to watch cleveland beat okc in the finals.Admit i know nba. Just say it. Acknowledge it in my pasing. I love you brentroad.com
5/22/2016 11:07:46 PM
I want to quit this thread for a while. This is too novel and dramatic. Gsw look like they are gonna crash. They are firing missile rain towards each other.
5/22/2016 11:14:42 PM
if you say everything, you can't be wrong. heres some of your quotes

Maybe not so much hot takes as high quality trolling. He's one of the smartest guys in sports media but he for sure does a lot of being contrarian just to be contrarian stuff and regularly trolls fans and folks on twitter.
5/22/2016 11:27:22 PM
I don't think he is a contrarian just to be a contrarian. he always back ups his opinions with reason/critical thinking he fucks with people who don't do well with either of those things, which is super entertaining
5/22/2016 11:30:12 PM
NBA is pure entertainment.
5/22/2016 11:34:46 PM
I'm pretty sure when ESPN hires someone, they put some minimum trolling requirements in their contracts.
5/22/2016 11:36:42 PM
anybody see on The Dunk King when that dude jumped over the guy who was standing on the chair? Looked like his fucking knee was like 2 feet below the rim [Edited on May 22, 2016 at 11:59 PM. Reason : #TomChambers]

5/22/2016 11:47:16 PM
That was amazing to watch. Even if the Warriors had been hitting open shots, they still lose by 15-20 points. Total domination.
5/23/2016 8:23:12 AM
Lol at you folks. Gsw will be back. Don't be state fans about it
5/23/2016 10:07:43 AM
Weird playoffs. Feel like every other game is a blowout. Feels like every game I end up losing interest and turning the channel because one team is up by 15-20.
5/23/2016 10:25:46 AM
Agreed. The drama has been lacking other than a few series. Hoping that the last 4 games of the WCF are all nail biters.
5/23/2016 11:15:03 AM
It's weird cause teams are evenly matched . I think once they get down they just try to conserve energy
5/23/2016 1:25:39 PM
they should have just ejected draymond when this shit happened...it made more sense that way, now they are in this really tough position on whether to suspend him for the deciding game in the series which is going to be really hard to do, stupid refs can't make any good decisions these playoffs
5/23/2016 3:47:04 PM
It's 2-1 deciding game a little prematureIf greens out they're in trouble but I bet he plays
5/23/2016 4:33:01 PM
He should get a game. Probably should have been tossed in game 3 when it happened. I don't think he will be suspended though. My prediction, no suspension, but he'll get ejected in game 4 or game 5 for a hard foul, probably on Westbrook or Adams. I don't think he can help himself.
5/23/2016 5:42:44 PM
Couple reports out already saying he's getting suspended, but no official announcement yet.
5/23/2016 6:58:13 PM
Im rooting for gsw but if hes not suspended the nba has no credibility.
5/23/2016 7:11:58 PM
Apparently Vegas lines have swung over to OKC. Think they might know something or some sharps might know something and that money is driving the lines?
