Dream Team 4: Golden State Warriors

[Lyst]

6'7, 185 pounds? Surprised Mccaw doesn't break something every game. That's pretty damn skinny for that height.

When he realized he couldn’t make a play ? He could have easily made a play, instead he choose not to for whatever reason . I believe Kerr’s 1st reaction was correct. Vince does know better and had a complete brain fart. How can he not know he was creating a hurdle for McCaw to jump over ? He walked right in to his path and half ducked . Instead he could have faced up or grabbed him or just not walk in his path .

These are split second decisions. He sees the pass go by. He turns to the baseline and goes to protect the rim. In the midst of that he realizes that he can’t effectively make a play but his momentum is carrying him in that direction. He decides to try to duck out do the way but isn’t able to.

He could have just tried to grab McCaw and make sure he doesn’t cause him to fall hard, but that wasn’t what went through his mind unfortunately. It’s easy to play Monday morning quarterback here and say what he should have done.

Nah, fuck that.

Draymond should know better than to not purposely kick people in their fucking nuts and he still does it. Zaza should know better than to step under shooters feet and he still does it.

The Warriors are a dirty team. I'm not gonna shed any tears that someone makes a questionable play against anyone of them.

GOD FUCKING DAMN.... THIS. Best post in this thread easily. Shut it down. Fuck those hypocritical pieces of shit.

I agree and believe this is exactly what Kerr seen as well. Hence Kerr’s reaction “ I’m mad at Vince, he knows better. As in he should have grabbed him. Vince has been around forever and it should have a been a natural reaction. Yes it was an unfortunate mistake, Vince knew this the second it happened, like o I just fucked up.

Anyone have efficiency states for Durant with and without Curry? @priceFTW @MoFlo

Even with 2 other all stars with one of them being one of the best shooters ever he seems to be inefficient any time I check the box score without Curry playing

6/20 from the field and 1/8 from 3 so far tonight. Woof.

Last 5 games he's sitting at a nice 43.3% from the field and 29% from 3. Nice.

KD WITH Curry: Team 125.2/111.8 NET: +13.4

KD: 63.7% eFG, 68.6 TS%, 1.31 PPS
Curry: 62.2% eFG, 66.8% TS, 1.28 PPS

KD WITHOUT Curry: Team 112/109.2 NET: +2.8

KD: 55.1% eFG, 60.9 TS%, 1.22 PPS

Curry WITHOUT KD: Team 121.9/104.2 NET: +17.7

Curry: 62.2% eFG, 69.3% TS, 1.39 PPS

KD is human when Curry is off court. Curry is even BETTER offensively with KD off court. This was true all of last year, too.

TL;DR: Durant’s a bitch.

Come on Thunder I KNOW you want that 7 seed

 

[K1rieIrving>AllOtherPG's]

Warriors are meh without Curry, crazy how average they look with “3 AllStars” and the “2nd best player in the world”, this shows that Curry is a better and more impactful player than Durant and it’s not close to be honest.

Kinda crazy how impactful Curry is, he’s gotta be the 2nd most impactful player in the NBA after LeBron, the net rating difference with him on/off is insane.

Man, Curry's efficiency is insane for a smaller guard whose main weapon is shooting threes.

 

[Randolphkeys]

Curry isn't the second best player in the NBA, he just doesn't have the rounded game Durant brings. His defense is too pourous. However, I do agree he is just more impactful. The spacing and attention he draws initiating the offense gets into the defenders heads. He needs constant attention from 30 feet away from the basket in, and nobody else draws that type of attention.

 

[Real Deal]

Man, Curry's efficiency is insane for a smaller guard whose main weapon is shooting threes.

His presence makes his other 4 teammates job much, much, much easier. Emphasis on the much. It's so fucking easy playing with Curry. All because of a sinister 3 point shot.

Damn. Not impressive

looks like the playoffs have started early for kevin durant

OKC will be in 7th after tonight........

This West playoff seeding is so tight right now. I just don't want Pelicans or banged up Wolves to play the Warriors first round. Well, Butler is back but definitely no Pelicans please. I'd be fine with OKC, Jazz, Nugs, or Spurs playing them. Probably in that order. I'd probably even prefer Spurs if Kawhi is coming back but I don't know what is going on there. Spurs might even be worse or 2nd worse case scenario without Kawhi, but they still have the best coach in the league.

Even if Warriors are pushed to 6 or 7 games, that'd be good. But I really want them taken out. If Pelicans and Spurs were healthy, I think virtually every playoff team in the West would have a great chance of taking down a Curry-less Warriors.

Even if Rockets should be the bigger concern, I just want the Warriors to lose so bad and not make the Finals.
