I don’t know. He passes better than Roy. Luka created so many threes for his teammates last night and they didn’t knock ‘em down. Bullock couldn’t hit at all. And he’s a good shooter. And at home!

Great Take! That is exactly what i watched. Multiple WIDE open looks that they didn't make.
 
It’s truly amazing what Luka (and Kidd) have done with this roster.

It’s a team full of inconsistent scrubs pretty much.

And they took down the #1 overall 1 seed.

Scrubs with length, and they play defense

They do play tough D, but are they really that long?
They start Brunson 6'1" at Guard
Bullock at 6'6" at SF
Dorian Finney Smith 6'7" at PF
Powell 6'10" C

None of them have a long wingspan.

Their bench is longer for sure.

They play defense because of Kidd, hence the remark it’s amazing what he has done with this team.

He took essentially the same team and made them much, much better defensively.
 
The NBA should be embarrassed. Look at this product. Blow out game sevens in the second round. A 3-0 deficit in the conference finals. What a shit show.

I'm quite sure NOBODY is embarrassed. They are making more money than ever. The fans will get over it. People may not like this, but it's VERY true.

Probably want a few more games than a sweep though.
 
If Warriors and Heat meet in the Finals during Pride Month, I hope Governor Newsom gifts DeathSantis a rainbow flag to commemorate the occasion.
 
Iggy retuning to the Warriors since they need more help. Guy is just collecting rings
 
With 3:20 left in 1st quarter, Miami had only 1 point. Gotta be a record.

The blow outs are the result of the 3 ball becoming so dominant. Pretty silly/dramatic reaction you have to it... are you aware that the best team in the league at 3 point shooting (the Warriors) are the ratings kings as well?

The 3 pointer has killed the NBA I grew up watching in the 90's and 2000's.

Analytically it makes sense to shoot a ton of them, but the game is less interesting in that there is basically no offensive strategy anymore besides get up as many threes as you can.

The Warriors look good doing it. But they also attack the paint.

Ball movement, player movement, rebounding and defense is still the best way to win. But you have to get talented players and shooters sold on doing that.

They had the 3 point shot in the 90s and 2000s, of course, though. Speaking of 90s, remember when they moved the three point line in closer for a season? By the way, last night, the Heat shot 38% from the three point line and the Celtics shot 23% from the 3 point line. Heat made 14 threes. Celtics made 8 threes. Celtics won in a blowout.

Playoff stats for luka are nearly identical to young Lebron in cleveland.

33/9/8 on elite efficiency.

Yeah, but LeBron would just blow through the Pistons' defense and throw down clutch dunks play after play. Doncic doesn't quite play like that. Doncic is more like James Harden if James Harden didn't suck in the playoffs.

I don't know about that. Look at last night's game between the Celtics and Heat.
