Absolutely not the same system and what you say is pure conjecture. I’ve watched many Kings telecasts and don’t see anywhere near the same type of offence being run. Walton does like pace, but he doesn’t run the Cyclone offence the Warriors ran.

What offense did the Warrior run this year?

Calling pissy on the refs for calling fouls for Dame's 3s. Just all around salt.

They have horrible management and almost snuck into the playoffs. Something they might not do this entire decade. I'd be salty too if I were them, even if the reasons are legit or not.

Suns fans are so salty it's hilarious. As if they weren't gifted the last 3 games.

4 games before the season was suspended, the Suns lost to Golden State, by 16, at home, and here is what the Warriors played with:

lol to be fair, we lost to a worse warriors squad. So we are even in that department. We lost to a Deangelo, Draymond-less Warriors. Sheesh that was bad.

We truly can beat anybody and lose to anybody the ultimate wildcard lol
 
This team can play better than that and they still won.
They need another day off and then they need to win the first play in game.
If they can do that they will get a couple days off. Hopefully the league doesn't schedule the 1 vs 8 first game on Monday.

How were they gifted the last 3 games? Lmao

We were gifted with all injured/rest B squad teams and still barley could do shit. Lol
 
I have a question for @THE HCP

I have noticed that during the game the floor says Moda and it has Blazers on it. It also has a Toyota advertisement.
But on replays the court is clear? My thinking is they must be doing the logos for home teams with some kind of computer enhancement?
Does this work both ways for both teams?
There really is no Home court at all as it seems.

I know, but when teams have losing records, salty needs to be self-directed

I don't understand why Hezonja is getting any minutes. he is bad at everything. At least Little could play some D.

I thought Hezonja played very selfish tonight; two consecutive times he had a chance for an easy lob to Whiteside and passed it up to take one of his wild shots.

it's CGI.
 
I also have another question for all the "Our defense is soooo bad" guys.

If the Blazers defense is really so very bad, why exactly have they won 6 of 8 games?
Do the other teams have even worse defense? Because the Blazers have outscored all of them.

Their offense is legendary. They're the top offense in the league in the bubble and if they had sustained that play over the course of a season it would be BY FAR the highest offensive efficiency a team has ever recorded in the NBA..

BTW Dallas ended the season with a 116 offensive rating, highest ever for a season in the NBA. Blazers were at 121 or 122 in the bubble I don't remember, but it's definitely even higher after tonight.

You've been watching the games, isn't it obvious how we're winning? If you can outscore your opponent you win the game. Scoring is and always will be the most important thing you can do in basketball. However, they're going to miss shots eventually, and they won't have their defense to fall back on.

I'm enjoying the hell out of this run, but we aren't a contender. We have a million issues that need to be addressed in the offseason and about 999,999 of them are on the defensive end.
