Can Luka Stampede Through Chef's Poole Party To The Finals? | Mavs (#4) vs. Warriors (#3) WCF Thread

[Street Messiah]

Ever since the first time GS won a chip we have seen team after team try to develop their team around the 3 ball and try to beat GS with it and they fail and get out shot every single time. They get cold from 3 and suddenly look anemic vs GS.

The real blueprint on GS was to slow the game down, unhide Steph, make him play defense and tire him out, sell out on Thompson 3s and make Green a scorer, not outshoot them.

that really has nothing to do with it. the warriors simply have more talent. The game plan last night was perfect. the warriors would have been blown out if the specialists shot how they have been all post season. the warriors have been packing the paint. Anyone who plays them has to make open shots it’s as simple as that.

Anyway I

Why Luka mad? He should holla at his boy Finnie smith for opening his mouth… Steph ain’t the mofo you want to talk shyt too

The real question is why luka salty. He was stunting on dudes himself the entire playoffs. Now the rabbit got the gun and he wants to fight.

This ain't the same as a player not wanting to shake hands after the game or not speaking to the media after the game. This a dude who wants to fight cause his team getting stunted on.

Man I know luka use to getting babied by the media and his owner/coach but he need to get the entire fukk out of here with that shyt. Especially walking away right by steph then trying to act tough after the fact and wanted to "confront steph".

Yep thats the only way to beat a Durant less Warriors. shyt Lebron and the Cavs gave folks the blue print.

The warriors dont have a real rim presence so it doesnt really matter if they were packing the paint. You should be able to get motion to put steph on an island and get to rim on this GS team. The Grizz did it, just got hurt.

Yes Dallas would most likely lose anyway but they wouldn't be down 0-3 if they chose a better gameplan.

The calls did start looking funny in games 3 and 4 but that's still no excuse for the Suns losing the series. The Suns won game 5 and had all the momentum for games 6 and 7, they just choked.

Chris Paul turned 37 and his stats went down like it's a 2K game. Now they're saying he was injured. Booker forgot how to close in the closeout games. Everyone was trash game 7. Worst playoff performance in Suns history getting destroyed game 7 at home to Luka ball.

The Warriors rolling over the Mavs like this shows the current gap between the Suns and Warriors. The Suns have to start looking at their future beyond Chris Paul. Chris is a Hall of Famer but you can't rely on a 37 year old with his injury history if you want to seriously compete.

Also that happens in a lot of series when the other team is down 0-2 the league tries to often times extend the series to make it longer. So as the team that is up 2-0 those game 3 and 4s you often times have to out play the other team and the refs to prevent the series from being tied up 2-2.

He bout to be all nba team 1 again while Trae

Trae is all NBA as well. Only difference between Trae and Luka is size. If Trae was 6’7 he’d be 1st team too instead of 2nd or 3rd

Dray after the game on the NBC Local channel:

"Did you see Chuck?"
"No, let's go win 1 more and I'll make sure I see him..."

Mavs are the 2015 Houston Rockets. Had no business being here but the CP3 lead team had to choke what a boring a** series.​

that isn't how the game works. you think they just leave steph on an island ? the defense will collapse, leaving shooters open. they have to make the shots. there is nothing more it than that.

Folks have to understand its a reason only one 6-1 PG/SG has lead their team to a championship in the NBA (zeke). Even then zeke had one of the deepest, most versatile, athletic and size teams in the NBA.

And the two other 6-1 PG/SG has lead their team to finals and loss (CP3 and AI). You just can't compare 6-1 and under guards to bigger guards / wings and big men. Its a big man game period (players 6-6 and bigger). Those are the dudes who are usually going to lead their teams to championships. Even if a player is 3 to 4 inches bigger that is a big difference in the impact they can have. Take a dude at 6-7 and make him 6-11 or a dude 6-0 and make him 6-4. Thats the difference between being an all time great and possibly being a top 15 goat just increasing a players height.

Hell even trae is listed as 6-1 and we know his ass probably only 5-11 to 6-0 tall similar to AI.

If size didn't matter small kats like Calvin Murphy, Nate Archibald and Michael Adams would have led their teams to a ton of championships. Cause these guys were some of the greatest 6-1 and under players who ever touched a basketball in the history of the world.

That dunk completely killed the crowd too for the rest of the game.

When you see your franchise player, the main guy on your team, get blasted like that on top of the other team being insanely better .

That's actually got to be a tough one. Imagine if that were Jordan, down 0-2 to the Magic and Penny dunked on him like that. That's pretty much how those Mavs fans felt.

Then add some extra secondhand embarrassment because the refs even tried to protect dude.

The crowd was not the same after that. It was an 8 point game with 2 minutes left and people were leaving.
