James Jones was also a non factor during the regular season but right now he's coming in, hitting his threes. He's a hacker on D but he can't play a lot of minutes anyway.

Warriors haven't exactly floated through the playoffs, their playoff W/L record notwithstanding. Only a handful of blowouts, and the rest of the games were all decided within 10 points.
PS I hate this game, someone comfort me.
― Falconetti Pot (Leee), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 17:02 (eight years ago) link
feel like in general warriors have only truly fired on all cylinders maybe 3 times in this playoff run, something i could def chalk up to youth/inexperience

leee and cad otm. dubs only had one game where they clicked for 3+ quarters.
klay and curry missed a lot of shots at the beginning that were wide open off great screens. Just be like that sometimes

Warriors haven't exactly floated through the playoffs
they won their series 4-0, 4-2, 4-1 and avoided the Spurs and Clippers, is my point.

i think dova has taken really good shots overall. he's just not that good of a shooter so he clanked a few he's taking what the warriors are giving him without hesitating (unlike DPOY MIP MAX CONTRACT draymond). that fast break pass to lebro was pin point perfect i thought klay would get that no problem. so many run killing plays by the dova and the cavs
― Spottie, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:25 (eight years ago) link
Delly's jumper makes LeBron's look smooth
and yeah, that alley-oop to LeBron was super high degree of difficulty...that play was moving so fast I didn't think there was any way LBJ could finish it
― alpine static, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:38 (eight years ago) link
klay had that thing measured up too. he kinda hesitated so he could get his legs to go get the ball https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTw2i7k7ZLQklay shoulda made that layup on the other end tho.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 18:46 (eight years ago) link
how many minutes have the warriors lead in this series?
― brownie, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 19:10 (eight years ago) link
lebro wiping out currys legs with no call.
if the cavs somehow come away with this, this is the play i will remember from this series i'm pretty sure

100% I literally jumped up and said what you can't slide tackle a ballhandler!
― juice college (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 19:10 (eight years ago) link
It was nice that the real Steph finally showed up but I still feel like everyone but klay (maybe) and iggy is just still wondering why their regular shits not working and haven't quite gotten up to full intensity yet, better happen next game
Meantime Lebron is in like utter maximum overdrive, he should probably spend three weeks in the hot tub after this series
― juice college (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 19:12 (eight years ago) link
My bet is that his secret motivation is that he is opting out and going to re-sign with Miami for the minimum and he hopes to just leave Cleveland with the one ring
― juice college (agent hibachi), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 19:13 (eight years ago) link
windhorst is thinking that his 'secret motivation' is being 3rd in the mvp race. basically proving that he's better than curry, which, well, yeah, but he wasn't for a full season. whatever it is its working.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 19:15 (eight years ago) link

without understanding the element that the dubs are just playing bad too,
not really an actual response to someone trying to give their take on why they're playing bad
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 19:52 (eight years ago) link
like them being young and not having gone thru adversity and now facing some on the biggest stage is at least an attempt to explain it rather than just *shrug* they're playing badly.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 19:54 (eight years ago) link
maybe if steph cuts down a bit on his lazy behind the back passes to nobody
― polyphonic, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 19:57 (eight years ago) link
so many things but yeah thats a big part, every single player besides iggy is playing subpar
― Spottie, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 19:58 (eight years ago) link
at this point in their bball lives, curry may be too nice and klay too meek to shake it off and assert themselves/believe in themselves. I think they will at some point but it may take awhile and may not be during this series. whereas lebron (and others) has been thru enough shit that he's able to make that "wait no fuck this, I'm the shit and I'm taking this thing" mental turnaround quicker.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 10 June 2015 19:58 (eight years ago) link
curry's beaten-ass face is definitely one of the saddest i've ever seen in an NBA game
― Nhex, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:00 (eight years ago) link
xp maybe. they were in this exact same spot in the memphis series tho and arguably playing even worse/more shook and they figured it out.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:01 (eight years ago) link
xp yeah, i know it's fashionable here to bust chops on Lebron for his whole leader schtick but he got JR Smith into the finals COME ON
― Nhex, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 20:01 (eight years ago) link
yeah I still think Dubs will win!

the leadership stuff is v rmde-worthy, but yeah he actually is being a great leader, if anyone is allowed to beat that particular sports cliche to death during interviews it's 2015 LBJ.

he scolded mozgov so hard after he threw that one pass away, then wouldn't give him props after the game was over when he was doing his I'm tired act under the basket
