So you’re saying the Blazers are gonna get a second one?

 

[Tyrant of Ants]

His job isn't to know stuff. It's to stir things up and piss people off, which he excels at.

So, you're saying you're the Stephen A. Smith of S2? How much is @SlyPokerDog paying you?

Nah, I'm usually right. It's that there's some people who are too dumb to know they're wrong

 

[Tyrant of Ants]

Nah, I'm usually right. It's that there's some people who are too dumb to know they're wrong

Yeah, I like smelling my own farts, too. Everyone else's stinks!

 

[Natebishop3]

I might have to go back to being nice if Sly doesn't get me the Doge he promised in my contract.

OKC doesn't have a title. The Sonics have

LOL at the Kings getting credit for a championship. Somehow, the genealogy goes back 70 years to the 1951 title by the Rochester Royals

by the way, 5 of the Lakers championships came 67-73 years ago when it was the Minneapolis Lakers. So, as is usual and right, fuck the Lakers. Also, 11 of the Celtics' championships came in the period 52-64 years ago...so fuck the Celtics too

 

[Fairly-Hard]

So Nate McMillan taking a page out of Phil Jackson’s playbook. Takes a $25K fine for saying the refs will favor the Knicks. Now everyone will be watching to see that the calls are even.

I guess Nate learned a thing or two over the years.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Kerr said Time Out!
Warriors look awful

 

[andalusian]

Warriors every once in a while look like the championship warriors,.they can put points in a hurry

 

[DDolla]

Warriors can beat Utah

 

[Titan]

The refs really want the warriors to win this game

 

[JDC]

Xavier Tillman looked out of place playing with Jaren.

Looking much better as the lone big.

Morant making good use of the step through tonight.

 

[BigGameDamian]

GS getting cooked.

 

[JDC]

Tillman is so damn good defensively.

He's going to be overwhelmed physically in certain matchups / situations, but he's been great in this game.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

Don’t count the Warriors out just yet.

 

[DDolla]

Can the young Grizzlies hold on?

 

[DDolla]

The refs really want the warriors to win this game

Foul trouble on 2 Grizzlies big men… smh

 

[illmatic99]

Curry and GS are just so careless

 

[illmatic99]

this is how MEM played in the play in against us last year thru three quarters

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Curry, the first MVP finalist to not make the playoffs? What a joke.

 

[crandc]

Griz trying to give it away like they almost did with San Antonio.

 

[DDolla]

Grizzlies are playing scared instead of running and attacking

 

[JDC]

Saw it a little bit in the 3rd but I think Kerr has found a good counter to the Brooks top lock and denials on Steph by sending him off a weakside pindown.

Nearly always going to force Brooks or whoever in on him into a trail position coming off the screen. Screener needs to look for the slip if Grizz show.

Still may be mucked up though. GS just can't get enough shooting on the floor to really open up passing windows.

 

[JDC]

Wiggs drops an easy pass for a dunk in the 4th for the 2nd game in a row...

 

[DDolla]

Wiggins playing like Nurk, missing too many easy baskets

 

[bobf]

It’s not all that easy to beat the trap. Warriors.

 

[JDC]

It’s not all that easy to beat the trap. Warriors.

Especially with zero reliable offensive threats other than Steph.

20th on offense with arguably the most impactful offensive player in the league

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Stotts would’ve made playoffs with Golden State’s roster. Kerr has done a shameful job.

 

[bobf]

Idiotic failure to challenge by Memphis.
