The Series We've Been Waiting For: Official Warriors vs. Spurs WCF Thread

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Just saw this on another board:

"In 68 Playoff Games, Steph Curry has hit 287 threes. That total would be good for the 3rd most ever in the history of the 82 game REGULAR season"

I know the posts about Curry's 3-ball proficiency pop up all the time, but this seems pretty crazy to me. He could actually end up surpassing the mark of 402 threes by the time he plays 82 playoff games. He's making slightly over four a game on 41.2% (287/696) all while performing in a higher intensity atmosphere and facing higher caliber opponents geared to stop him.

And this is not even taking into account those half-court heaves at the end of quarters. How anyone can deny just how great this dude is, I don't know.

His ankle is going to swell up on the plane flight home

Yeah thats a long flight

 

[FAH1223]

What dont yall nikkas understand? shyt's over. Spurs aint winning a game. 1st game was their game to win after warriors came off a long rest.

Nikka I want competition not no 40 point per game blowouts in May leading to sweeps

Kawhi should only play if he's close to 100 percent. The Spurs don't need him out there hobbling, causing further damage to his ankle. The reality is, the Spurs starters need to step up. The bench is playing better than them right now.

Opposite problem of the Wizards

Man y'all put so much pressure on Kwahi to perform on goat levels in game 3. I mean he is great but ppl starting to overrate him

It's too late for that. the intrigue was the pace set in game 1 before the ankle injury, when he was on a goat level pace. Not that he needed to be goat level, Spurs just needed to win that game.

The intrigue would've still been there had the Spurs still squeaked by game 1 b/c game 2 would've been a no brainer to sit Kawhi, since games 3 & 4 would be in SA where it would at least be realistic for them to split there and be 2-2.

But with him hurt and them losing game 1. that was pretty much the series. Mind you, Warriors were favored anyway but now it'll likely be a 5 game series. Pretty much stinks for bball fans.

Yeah GS were so lucky in the playoffs last season when:

Curry sprained his MCL and was out for the first round and part of the second (with notable swelling to his knee after games and limited mobility as the playoffs progressed when he did return, particularly in the Finals)
Draymond getting suspended when they were one game away from winning a title
Bogut getting injured in the game that Draymond was suspended
Iggy getting injuried pre-game, when Draymond returned from his suspension
The refs fouling out Curry in a Finals game

Just look at all the luck the Warriors had. Everything goes in their favor.


Yeah GS play horrible, god awful basketball. I can't stand it. It's not even real basketball.

All that ball movement

All that team defense

All that efficient shooting, getting the best shot possible

How dare the Warriors make the West less competitive, when LeBron is in the toughest conference playing against future HOFs and superstars year after year. How dare the Warriors.

I'm talking about the product you're seeing on the floor nightly is god awful. Bron is playing in the conference he was drafted in (on the team he was drafted in). He shut that shyt down so p*ssy ass dudes like KD or Curry wouldn't even seriously consider their hometown squads CAUSE ITS SHUT DOWN But the main point is that the man took his lumps in the conf and now's dominating it
what did KD do to.....be competitive?
When you're growing up, your parents usually tell you to not take the easiest way out every time...you're basically slapping your parents in the face by supporting this atrocity Gilbert

Injuries happen everyday b

I guess when you playing the league endorsed pussified new age Bulls, it does in fact happen every day

 

[ndthentherewasx]

Kawhi won't be playing as well as he was in game 1, he's going to be more of a decoy on offense more than anything. That ankle won't be right until next season.

Defensively i dont know how well he can play either, that Warriors offense moves a lot. Will he be able to keep up and then still stay in front of anyone that isn't Green or whoevers at the 5?

Hate that it had to be like this.


Hoping that I'm wrong but I don't see it

We complain about the sweeps but I dont mind bypassing the under card this year to get to the Finals. The bragging rights is gonna be epic after all the trash talk.

This is either A-1 trolling or A-1 stupidity

I'd lean towards the latter.

Cleveland healthy right?

Nah

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Nah

Too bad for them.

Curry on pace for arguably the most efficient high volume scoring postseason of all time. And this is with him not protecting his shooting %s with those halfcourt heaves. And playing against the TWO best defenses in the league.
