Shoot Bears From A Distance Or Get Mauled: Official Warriors VS. Grizzlies Western Semifinal Thread

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

I dare one of you muhfukkas to go over the last two games with a fine-tooth comb and make note of all the favorable calls/non-calls that happened for both teams, and I can guarantee you it'll be a lot closer than you initially imagined.

The shotclock is only so long. You're kidding yourself if you don't think sending a double won't be more effective than just letting Gasol and Randolph go 1-on-1 all the time.

But weren't you and everyone else just all giddy with their defense?

What's going on in here?

 

[Primetime]

yup this is a game 7 for them. should be preached as one. warriors not winning 3 in a row.

Exactly. And there should be no more moral victory crap if you're Memphis..

No more of this taking an elite team to a game 7 just to get blown the fukk out the building
None of that making it to the conference finals just to get raped in 4 games and sent packing

I'm loving this sense of 'show and prove time/no more free passes' for the CP3/Clips, Rose/Thibs/Bulls, Harden/Rockets (), the Grizz, etc.

Basically get it done or

I would have Warriors in 6 if I knew Conley was back.
but ya hats off to Memphis. I STILL think warriors will win but Memphis has been the better team no foubt. Also, Draymond Green sucked horribly today. This loss is on him. He needs to get going and Kerr needs to make some adjustments if he wants to prove all the hype is warranted. I'm too lazy to research what those adjustments should be (I'm not making millions of dollars to coach in the NBA) but incan probably figure it out if I put in time to watch film

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

The key stats is pts. Fukk all the other shyt
If Curry can't go off, they can't win. 89 and 90 pts. He can't be a PG this series

If they're sending a double to Gasol and Randolph (and cheating off Allen), how does that not help the Warriors chances of nullifying Memphis' frontline?

Do you even realize how ridiculous you have looked the past couple of pages?

Yeah, just double Gasol AND ZBO when they get it, no problem! What could go wrong when you have 4 guys in the back of their mind to get ready to double!

That won't work. Conley and Court will have a field day getting what they want and getting Warrior players in foul trouble. Allen would just take it to the rim as well

They showed how effective it was in the 4th quarter. If anyone's looked ridiculous it's you.

 

[sfgiants]

In all seriousness tho this was fukkin disgusting by the Warriors tonight. Missed fts, airball 3s, lane violations. Smh
Klay

THE REFS were effective in the 4th, they completely got The Grizz out their rhythm with their BS ass calls on the other end.

 

[Hoganese]

I don't see how anybody who's watched PLAYOFF basketball could discount Memphis in this series.

The Warriors are highly entertaining, but when it comes down to the nitty gritty, them boys look kinda light in the paint.

I alway have the Spurs series from the past couple of years in the back of my mind when thinking about Memphis but they've played really well otherwise. I shouldn't have overlooked that I guess.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

That won't work. Conley and Court will have a field day getting what they want and getting Warrior players in foul trouble. Allen would just take it to the rim as well

It worked in the 4th quarter. And it worked for periods last game. Problem is they weren't consistent with it.

Allen ain't taking shyt to the rim. You can stop right there. The Warriors will have to make sure there's plenty of communication and they don't send hard-help all the time. The one-man showing to come in inside and help put both Gasol and Zach in two minds, during the 4th quarter.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

I'm sure doubling Z Bo/Gasol will help, but I doubt Memphis doesn't have response to that.


It wouldn't be the first time a team has tried that against the Grizzlies

I thought Klay was pretty solid tonight. If anything it's Steph

Yes the calls certainly didn't help them, but the fact remains, Warriors doubling or showing the double was effective, and it will be more effective than allowing Gasol and Randolph to go 1-on-1 all the time. Especially on Randolph, he doesn't have the size or passing ability to constantly get himself out of trouble.
