GS probably wins this series but with out David Lee next round it is going to be very tough for them.
 
Steph absolutely abusing Dre. Horrible coaching by George Karl here.
 
Good seeing my man Draymond Green holding it down on defense like that. Really undervalued rookie... wish we would have taken him instead of Wroten.
 
I wasn't. It was a little before my time. I started in 04'. When was that?

Iggy on the other hand is hard to describe. Has a nice play and then a horrible play. Bottom line he is a player I would love to have on my .........bench. (For about 6-7 million/ yr. )

Not realistic (I am sure you know that though).

Yeah I do. He will get paid 16 million next year because he will not opt out of his contract. After that I bet he goes to a contender and comes off the bench.

It is enough for now. It isn't enough as you get deeper in the playoffs.

Sure it is. Denver's strength is its size and they're making quick work of them. Bogut/Landry/Barnes can't handle Duncan? Or Griffin/Jordan? The only team that would give the, trouble is Memphis but they might not get there.
 
Spurs will struggle to handle Curry. Quick guards have run circles around them all season. But you never know with Pop. This is the first time in a while he's had a mostly healthy roster to work with in the playoffs.

Man Barnes is a SF. He is not even worth mentioning as a "big" imo. At some point GS isn't going to shoot lights out from 3 and they are going to need what David Lee gave him. The guy was a borderline all star. Lets just agree to disagree. The great part is we are probably going to find out in time.
 
Not that it matters at this point in the game, but that technical on Anthony Randolph was one of the most bullshit technicals I've seen.
 
I know I sound like a broken record, but yet again the centers for Denver only played 14 minutes.
(Unless he puts them back in during the last 2 minutes) I don't know what to think. Do we really want them? If so they should come cheap.

Please god not McGee. I'd take any of Mozgov or kosta depending on price though.

McGee= 4 fouls and 3 TO's in those 14 minutes. What's not to like?

He's also one of the best shotblockers in the league, and don't ya'll need a defensive center?

For as dumb as they make him look on TNT with Shaqtin a Fool, he's not really that bad most of the time.

Yeah but I am one of those who doesn't equate good D with blocked shots. A Grizzlie fan, more than anyone else on this board, should agree with that.

He is horrible defensively. Just because he can shot block doesn't make him good. He makes boneheaded play after boneheaded play and will try to block EVERYTHING so his man is always open if you drive to the basket.
 
True. My least favorite play in the NBA is blocking a shot into the stands. A true defender, like Akeem, blocks the shot and gains possession of the ball. That's defense.

Played 25 mins and was a +15. 13 pts, 6 boards, 2-4 on 3's and his usual 100000% intensity and defense. Dude can make a career in a sort of Matt Barnes mold just being a tough SOB who rebounds, talks shit, goes all out, and is opportunistic on offense.

What a fugging 3rd quarter by Steph and what a first half by Bogut.

All very true. I'd come back with "I still like his potential," but at age 25, you have to wonder if he's ever going to get it under control. He's similar to DeAndre Jordan... elite size, length, and athleticism... could be one of the league's most dominant center's if it all came together, but here we all are still wondering, "when's he going to put it together?" The answer's looking more and more like it'll be "never," but there's just so much raw ability there that he still has me intrigued, especially in these next few years of his career. I'd love to be the team that profits off of another team's years of developing his dumbass.

As far as him blocking shots into the stands, McGee's actually been very good at palming blocks this year. He's had some epic blocks/goaltends where he would just palm the ball in the air and bring it down.

That's exactly why I wanted him on the Grizz. I was pretty damn surprised when he slipped to the second, because if you'd think if anyone could use Draymond, it'd be a playoff contending team that drafts in the late first. He doesn't play hero-ball, he plays within the team concept, he lays it all out there on defense, and he's a great guy to have around the organization. Why the hell did teams like Memphis and OKC pass on him?

Most of the times I've watched him, he has been that bad.
