  This is ugly to watch.....89-89   6:00 to go

Nobody uses a center..everybody takes bad shots (because they can make them) and all the shooters pretend they're being fouled to fool the refs..

 

Steph isnt 100%.....not as quick as he normally is.

..and where is Clint Capella....4 points and 6 rebounds...??

This is Houston's chance to get HCA and put huge pressure on the Warriors.

At Golden St he shouldn't. He needs to earn it. They had their chance today, Warriors in 6 now.

There's Golden State calls and there's 'everybody else' calls?

Okay. If those are the rules, then it will be interesting when they get back to Houston

IMO, the best teams I have ever seen are the 1987 Lakers #1 = Magic, Kareem, Worthy, and Scott. 1996 Bulls #2 = Jordan, Pippen, Rodman, and Kukoc. 1986 Celtics #3 = Bird, McHale, Parish, and DJ. 2001 Lakers #4 = Kobe, Shaq, Horry, and Fish. These Warriors belong in that group with Durant, Curry, Klay, and Green if they win it all again. It would be neat to see them lose but I cant root for a flopper like Harden or a softy like CP3.

I don't like the way eitehr one of these teams plays the game...I guess I've said that before...

What Harden does to draw fouls is exactly what Steph does.

..and both teams have popularized distance shooting as a team cure-all

 

..and nobody can cheer for Draymond Green

 

I'm guessing you will hear a lot about the officiating in this series. A lot.

I am not a Warriors fan but I love the way they play team basketball. Their passing is brillant and they get everyone involved. I am just not a James Harden fan the way he flops. CP3 always chokes in the playoffs too.

The way Golden State plays is the opposite of what I know as basketball

They try to take bad shots. they set screens going away from the basket to take advantage of their distance shooting ability.  Steph jumps into the defender ALL the time.

Exactly what Harden does.

Fouls that would not have been called in any other era. I just think that's a cowardly way to play the game. If you are real, you don't fly into the defender and flop...

And Draymond is just Draymond. Constant whining....Cheap shots and missed 3s T-fouls

 

We will have to disagree on this one.

I think the Golden State Warriors have hurt the sport...

The cancer of the 3-ball (which they started because they have great shooters) infects everyone and now high school teams take 30-40 3s a game...

 Just not my style

Yeah I disagree but that is fine. As a short guy myself I love shooting the 3 in highschool and thought people falling in love with someone dunking sucked. Yeah who can't dunk if you are 7'0. Also guys that can't shoot FT's are an embarrassment to the game IMO. In highschool I could make 85 out of 100 and never played college = 85%. Curry plays nothing like Harden IMO. Curry doesn't throw his body into players near as much as Harden does to create contact to get a call. He doesn't flop near as much either. Curry creates better off the dribble and just gets open to shoot. Harden gets more calls than Michael Jordan and a lot of them are nonsense, JMO. You have your opinion and I have mine.

You have to watch Steph closer..

He falls on every other shot and he always jumps into the defender.

he's not alone but he most certainly does do it

And why not? He gets 3 shots if he fools the refs.  Dont trust me for a second.

Go back and look at any game

 

Im old school. The fundamentals of the game...dribble, pass shoot all conspire to get high percentage shots

   Not step back, fall away 3s....Shooting is great. But I dont think you are great because you master one aspect if the game..

The women's game is better. They actually try to get to the basket.

I am for moving the 3-point line back 3-5 feet.

It would bring fundamentals  back into the sport

If you are Damean Lillard and you walk into a 37-footer to win a  game....Thats great basketball?.

It wins but  I just dont think so

I respect that, I loved the Lakers in the 80's because they played inside out. Magic always believed going to Kareem or Worthy 1st to open everything up for the shooters in the half court game. Scott always burned teams with the 3 though. I see both sides of it. If you have a player like Shaq, he will always be the 1st option over Kobe for a 3 too.

The Rockets outscored the Warriors by 20 from 3 point range.. but the Warriors had about 20 more shot attempts. Offensive rebounding for the Warriors was huge.

 

Rockets def just stupidly bomb away from 3.. no screens like the warriors set. The just iso and dish from stupid range. They are going to get beat by a team that has better 3 point shooters.. but aren't has much in love with them.

Toronto 101, 76ers 96...….series tied 2-2...…...Phily let this get away

Marc Gasol 16, Joel Embid 11..That cant happen

 

Kawhi Leonard 39 points..

 

I have been surprised about how little Ben Simmons and Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris can do about Kawhi. He's scored 30 or more in every game so far

The NBA is not the game for you.

I'm similar.  I quit watching the NBA 6-8 years ago.    To much flash and show and not enough basketball.

I'm reading more about the possibilities of the Pacers acquiring Mike Conley.

I dismissed it before but its not farfetched.

 

Conley, who is 30 years old..averages 21 points a game and he is an excellent defender.  Memphis isn't a playoff team and they want to move him

His contract is ridiculous but there's only 2 years left on it..

.at $32 mil and $34 mi

 

Why is he better than Kemba Walker?  Offensively, he's not.

To get Kemba, we must pay the max:  $35 mil for 4 years...the same as Conley but for 2 more years

 

And we're a defensive minded team......Mike Conley is a strong defender.….Plus Conley may actually want to come to Indianapolis …..we all know. Big high school star. Lawrence North.

 

The only knock is We'd probably have to give up our No.1 pick for Conley

I would be happy with Conley but it depends on who we would have to give up. He has some age on him but still is better than Collison.

That series looks over, Bucks look really good right now as Boston looks like burnt toast as well. 

Boston has been very disappointing.

They're missing wide open shots.....I guess that happens in the playoffs.

I just wish it had happened 3 weeks earlier

 

Kyrie doesnt know what's happening out there

    • There is indeed Ballard’s comment about being able to get the best player in the draft at number 4.  I interpret that to mean a non QB, but at the same time it might mean Anthony Richardson, from an athletic standpoint.   Also keep in mind, over the years Ballard has repeatedly said you can’t force things when picking. Interpretation, not “reaching” to take a player of need. Again, following that mantra, I think it tips the scales to a non QB or a trade back. I do believe he’s already thrown those teasers out there on multiple occasions this offseason.   Hence, I will not at all be surprised if the Colts select a non QB at 4 or trade back.
    • Florida Atlantic was impressive in beating Kansas State.   I was happy to see that.   Kansas state only had 2 players from last year.  They picked up 10 players from other schools through the easy transfer program.  So they stole 10 players from other schools.  I really don't like how this has become the way for larger schools to build their teams.    The late game was a dud.  UCONN had control the whole game.   I didn't even watch midway through the second half.     Todays games may be good, we will see.   San Diego State/Creighton.  Not sure who I want to win.   Miami/Texas, I think I'm pulling for Miami, but not in a big way. I had Alabama vs UCLA in the final.   My brackets is done. 
    • I think it's very simplistic and that's not all.    We can't blame everything on the team and not the person (QB).    First of all, the QB needs to make efforts to learn and adapt NFL systems, learn to make reads, progressions, protection calls, adjustments. Even if he does, he should've had the tools and traits, and shouldn't have too many bad habits or tendencies that he could not execute the plays more often than not without reverting back to the bad traits under pressure or otherwise.   There are floors and ceilings to which the QBs can be coached up and after that, the traits that QBs possess and the progress they make in development should take them to the higher level, if they really put efforts into making so. And, the floor and ceiling that various experts compare before the draft may not actually be the true potential, and that could be seen only on the field and over the years through progression or regression.    Then, there are scheme fits, supporting staff and cast, injuries, football intelligence and probably many other factors that play into these QBs reaching their actual ceiling.    We, fans, focus on the positive traits and the potential and talk up so many QB prospects in the draft time, but we don't do the same projection on how these QBs' bad tendencies, limitations and the lack of tools and traits eventually could limit them from reaching their ceiling.    This is why not all top 4 QB prospects in this draft are going to become franchise QBs as history suggests it very rarely happens that more than 2 QBs in a draft becomes a franchise QB for their teams over the long term or even for a full rookie contract. 
    • the major benefit of Pinter is he was widely praised coming out of the draft a an athletic “move” lineman who could be used in a zone scheme.    historically, the schemes that sparano has used recently employ a good amount of movement by his Center and try to get them to pull and operate in space.    that plays to pinter’s strengths and gets away from his weaknesses where he is overwhelmed strength-wise and needs to play angles    I think he can be an average starting center in a zone scheme if we go that route. 
    • Yea I agree with you. Waiting is risky and moving back would definitely be a Ballard move. Grab more picks and still get your QB. I would not be opposed to this. That being said Will Anderson possibly being there at 4 could change my mind. We clearly are “adjusting” the roster since rebuilding seems to be a strong word. So grabbing a stud ER would be a good move this year. But that means probably rolling with Minshew. I’m conflicted.
