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

[Robbo]

Game was lost in the first half when Klay and Poole decided not to show up. Everything that happened after that was inconsequential, even that lil comeback there at the end.

It all starts on D. They were lazy as hell on defense. Same thing they did with Memphis and Denver. Hope they miss 3s and try to score their way to the closeout. Loved what I saw from Moody down the stretch and Kuminga at times too. Somebody needs to step in and get DLee out of here.. but I think the Defensive effort will be back in game 5.

Lee was part of that lineup that made the run in the 4th, so it's a bit unfair to praise Moody and Kuminga, but not him.

But again, none of those guys should be counted upon in the WCF (Moody was particularly bad when he got minutes in the first half). It's why I told @Chabot College that Lee and Moody are the same because neither are pieces that are gonna move the needle and shouldn't be in the main rotation. Moody is far too inexperienced and Lee isn't talented enough. It's why I still don't believe this team is a contender because of all the middling pieces and lack of talent/experience they have. We're seeing how Poole is shytting the bed, which to be fair to him, is only natural given it's his first playoff run. It's Wiggins' first proper playoff run too. Klay is coming back from injury. Dray isn't who he once was.

They're better hope by some miracle Heat can win the ECF, because it's hard to see how they beat the Celtics.

never gonna happen

I know it's the default setting for some of y'all but Lee performed well in the minutes he got in this game. Again, it speaks to the lack of talent/experience this team has that he's getting minutes. If Otto, GP2 and Iggy were available, he doesn't get any burn. Klay and Poole both can't give up a double-digit lead if they're any chance of winning it all.

Brunson looks like a real life bobble head

He look like prop joe from the wire

Very difficult to sweep any team in the conference finals. Hopefully that comeback effort carry’s over into game 5.

Don't get too worked up breh, It looked like they really didn't care about being there tonight. They accidently got back in the game towards the end and Kerr was like"maybe we can go ahead and close this out".

I don't really see it that way. Warriors let up when they are up.. you can see it in the defensive rotations. They had a chance still.. but Lee is trash.. he hustles.. I give him that. But he usually moves too fast for his own good. If he could knock down open shots I wouldn't have a problem

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

At this point
These nikkas doing this shyt on purpose
To close out @home

 

[MostReal]

He bout to spill another cup of water

I forgot about that

 

[MostReal]

you're joking but in the Lakers HBO show, it's heavily hinted that that's why we have best of 7 series now...every team wants as much playoff revenue as they can get

You can tell when Kerr and Curry have been instructed to secure the bag

Interesting everybody keeps saying the celts will be a tougher matchup while i am the only person who thinks miami if healthy will be a tougher matchup for the warriors..
