2019 NBA Playoff Discussion

I never understood how an effective scorer in the post who rebounds could have no place in the nba. Having someone who can score in the post is an element in proper spacing.

He was just so scary bad on defense. He's a lot like Greg Monroe although I guess he's been able to move more than 3 feet away from the hoop unlike Monroe. But I like his attitude and even though he's a terrorist, he seems to have a good heart.

Dubs have never lost a game When Green has a triple-double...it seems tha May change tonight.

You might be jumping the gun here. It's a 1 point game right now with just under 10 minutes to go. And now it's tied.

 

[GatorAZ]

Paul and Curry having a who-can-play-worse contest.

 

[Proximo]

What the hell is wrong with curry.

He’s been worse than josh Jackson lately.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

The most utterly shameful performance of Steph’s career. He was terrible in every facet of the game tonight...every.single.one.

Green took a swipe at Hardens face again

I'm not a Rockets fan and would greatly prefer to see the Warriors advance. That said, Green should be suspended for a LONG TIME. I can't believe the league keeps allowing this jerk to endanger other players. One of these days an injured player is going to go after the NBA for allowing an unsafe work place.

If Kerr would play his bench like D'Antoni does the Warriors might not have run out of gas.

Warrior Bench total minutes played 39 Rockets 62

Warrior Bench player with most minutes 13 - Rockets had two players with more 28 and 18.

Maybe Kerr needs to learn how to use his bench better.

Bench is so thin and weak he can’t afford to put them in for any expanded period of time. He put the bench in with a 1 pt lead and within 2:45 they were down 10 or 11...

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Green had his arm extended out an harden turned the corner, Green tried to recover. It was inadvertent.

 

[JCSunsfan]

He tried to make it look inadvertent.

I don't believe there has ever been an MVP who has failed to perform at a level to win the Finals MVP for his team despite the awards being given to him in the same year. He got his first MVP and Iggy got the 1st Finals MVP. He fell apart in year 2 when he won the unanimous MVP and Cleveland came back from the 3-1 deficit. Then since Durant signed he's won the 2 to go with the titles they've won.

I think the Warriors would be a better playoff team if they traded Curry and kept Durant but that won't happen, not with them retaining Green and Klay.

When Mike has a far worse bench in Phoenix - that was put together by Kerr - he was blasted for playing only seven guys.

Why does Kerr get a pass?

 

[AzStevenCal]

You are overreacting

You are a Warriors fan. I think he's the dirtiest player in the game and has been throughout his career. I dislike Paul and Harden more than Green but there should be no room for dirty players in this game. And going for the eyes takes it to another level. I heard a former player make the case that even though Green intended to hit Harden in the eye (the first one), he didn't think he meant it be a serious injury. As if a player can control whether a finger in the eye does temporary or permanent damage.

 

[JustWinBaby]

Agreed

I wish he could bring back 80's style basketball everytime I watch this cheap shot artist play.

I certainly hope the league reviews the play on Harden as well as the play on Rivers at the end of the game.

Somebody really needs to lay this guy out. In the old days it would be "NENE" time.

And you hate Draymond Green and your bias is closing your view of tonight’s play. You think intentional, I believe It was not...

Curry could’ve easily been Finals MVP last season. His stats were equal to KD during series and he carried dubs for two games as did KD...

I think you miss the point. I didn't hate him and then start seeing dirty play, it went the other way. I dislike him solely because he IS dirty, clean up his game and I'd be a huge fan. And when it comes to pro athletes, especially pro basketball players, anytime you have to search for reasons to prove a player might not have done something wrong, you're probably kidding yourself. These guys are such amazing athletes and have incredible control over what they do. The suspects may not always be guilty in the NBA but they usually are.

 

[Superbone]

First it was the nuts and now the eyes. The guy is a real piece of work.

 

[Phrazbit]

Green’s history suggests otherwise.

When a master of cheap shots takes what appears to be a cheap shot I’m going to assume it was a cheap shot.

Sometimes you need to knowledge that you have a dirty pile of crap on your team. I was never a fan of Darnell Docket for that reason.

 

[Russ Smith]

He’s been worse than josh Jackson lately.

have you seen the pics of his finger before they reset it? All the reports are that he's constantly shaking it and looking at it even in warmups. He missed 2 FT's last night, it's clearly bugging him. And the Rockets are defending him really well off the ball.

Both Bogut and Jerebko had double digit - totals in 4 or 5 minutes played. Kerr said on ABC after the game that in this series it's tough for him to play the bench much, he said we can't go 8 minutes with lots of bench guys ni this series the matchups just don't work.

Notice Quinn Cook not playing at all, good shooter, but cant' guard, the Rockets guards ate him up in the regular season so he's getting almost no run at all.
