The Shot vs. The Flop: Official Warriors vs. Rockets 2016 Playoff Thread

[Big Boss]

Let's be honest...he never had that title in the first place.

7 turnovers by Green, 0-7 from three from Thompson. That'll get you beat in the playoffs

That last play looked like it was gonna end in horrible fashion regardless. I don't want to hear a questionable tag on Curry's ankle he seriously needs to play in G4

Not sure I actually believe he hurt this same foot when they played the thunder. They game he hit that darn near half court shot to win the games. Also when you have long playoff runs plus playing the season it takes a toll on your body and increases the risk of injury. Pop in San Antonio even mentioned this.

Let's not forget curry also had calf and lower leg issues this year so that causes issues with ankles and knees because you favor other parts of your lower body.

Nah, that was the left ankle Westbrook crushed. This one was a non contact injury to the right one

Those lower calf issues are a good point though - he had a quote earlier in the season that read (paraphrasing) "This is something I'll have to manage - for it to fully heal it would take 3-4 weeks and I'm not sitting out that much time". So he has played through stuff this year and really, just about everyone is dealing with something so he's no exception. Just has to play through it like other greats have had to. I think he can, but the Warriors are treating him with kid gloves

So how much rest should he have gotten? Over the last week and a half he's only played like 50 minutes of an nba game. Is that enough rest?

Look at Goal Post Heroin a.k.a. Z-Bo's Goal Posts y'all.

Tell us some more why Harden's game doesn't work in the playoffs because the refs swallow their whistle.

11 FTA, another game with more FTAs than his regular season average.

Harden's free throw attempts during the regular season - 10.2 per game
Harden's free throw attempts during this series - 8.6 per game

Do you like making a fool outta yourself every time you argue with me?

You lost.

Good points and thanks for the correction on the ankle.

These dudes fukking trolling with they clothes. I am waiting for one of these NBA dudes to show up at a game dressed like a genie.

 

[LinusCaldwell]

Idk how a Gm could muster up an argument to pay barnes anything over 40/5yrs. Atleast T.Thompson showed out in the finals and had Bron hold him down. Barnes aint did shyt but hurt his stock for like 2 Straight years with bricking open shots on one of the best offenses in the league.

frustrating loss, but you take the bad with the good, Houston needed their A GAME At home just to compete while we were bricking all over the place and our star sits, well get them next game

breh, did that look like houstons A-game to you ? when they are their best they are better than that, but they dont have enough talent to be consistent.

How is that moving the goal posts?

He's averaging less free throw attempts during this series, than during the regular season. You're trolling like hell at this point.

Yeah I get the sense it's a top down thing making Curry sit. The owner is mortified of this whole thing crumbling because of Steph's ankles. He could have played today and helped the team.
