    GS in 6. They're just too much for anyone, lucky us considering they're the only thing standing between the leprechauns and another championship... can't have that.

    Yeah I thought Memphis would knock off Golden State but Ja got injured. I didn't expect Phoenix to melt down against Dallas either, so it looks like the old guys/new guys thing will get settled in the Finals for this season.

    no protection on the picks was just insane. i mean, those guys were on the downslide and everyone knew it. when we traded for AD or the clips traded for george, etc., they were in their prime. kg was what, 37? pierce and terry were 35? good lord. no wonder king has never worked again.

    omg go to king's wikipedia. i guffawed.

    His reasoning is as bad as the deal itself

    Wonder if King takes credit for him going there 4 years later

    That wasn't his only big blunder either, just the one that kept on giving... to the C Bags. A few of his other highlights

    Warriors got this in 6 or 7 barring a key injury ... I think

    Positives :

    -C Bags should be worried they needed 7 games to beat this Heat team playing on one leg , which couldn't score enough and only had one shots creator/playmaker

    - C Bags are not consistent enough offensively through the whole game ... They play great and get leads by moving the ball and/or by attacking the rim and suddenly they stop doing it , play 1 on 1 and settle for long contested shots ... Smart , Brown and Tatum are all guilty of this ... Smart won Game 7 for them before almost losing it for them too , it's who he is as a player

    - Warriors are more versatile on both sides and got championship experience, its third quarter runs are tough to handle too




    Things to be worried about :


    - Smart dirty play with Curry... Overall GS is going to have to adapt from soft Nuggets Mavs and defenses to a physical one ... but C Bags will have to adapt from the mainly isos offense they faced in the East to a motion one too

    - Curry is less effective from 3s than before , a little worried about him against this C Bags switching defense , he will get his points off ball but if C Bags are clever enough , can prevent trapping him and prevent Warriors to play 4 on 3 , I'm going to be worried too.

    - Draymond needs to get his head in the game and stop b****ing so much

    yeah, smart is the right guy to bother curry, but he's going to have to expend a lot of energy to do it. and curry's real value is how much attention he requires at all times from the opposing defense.

    boston's hope is mucking the game up with physicality, which would be disappointing if it were allowed. we should be encouraging gs's style of play, not boston's.

    miami was awful from 3 in that series and they still were a 3 away from winning it. curry and klay are not going to be clanking 3s every possession

    GS has the defenders to throw at tatum and brown. green, iggy, wiggins, porter, payton if he's back. that's going to make things tough for tatum and brown which hopefully means the ball in smart's hands more

    GS offense is beautiful. Almost as fun as watching Bron pound the ball to get set for step back 3. Let’s hope we have better offensive targets for him to hit this year.

    This is very bad, Boston looks absolutely solid and legit, can easily win this.

    This Warriors core won because Kyrie and Love got hurt. Then they won because Durant joined them and they BARELY got by the Rockets still, and LeBron almost took a game from them. They’ve been lucky or stacked, this core has a lot to prove to me, not enough people point out the luck they’ve had.
