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

[SCORCH]

@3Rivers breh can we get the smiley

Lee isn't a bad m2m defender. Its everywhere else he's terrible. Similar to Bargs who is (or used to be) a good post defender but horrendous everywhere else

Gasol was one of the top post players in the league this year from an efficiency standpoint and he's been really strong this postseason from the post. Tonight seems like an outlier for him more than anything. Never a guy that'll dominate a game but he's definitely someone that if not doubled will normally kill you on the block

He's better guarding centers. He doesn't have the quickness to stay with most power forwards.

Exactly all these stat obsessed clowns like @nelsonswagdella and @Gil Scott-Heroin are looking mighty foolish now? @NelsonSwagdela please explain to us how we're foolish for not believing in these bullshyt analytics again?

GS not built for 4Qts in the playoffs

The way they been blowing teams out all year, the starters played fewer 4qt minutes then any other team this year

They can't stop them inside. That's a forgone conclusion. They won't stop any big team inside
They're gonna need Curry to hit the Grizz up for 35 to 40+ pts at least in 2 games in this series to win

The Pelicans got swept because Monty Williams is an awful coach. That series should have gone 6

played like trash in the 2nd half

refs giving GS every call imaginable.

and STILL won by double digits. but the warriors are the superior team right?

like the homie @Keengcong said, welcome to hell dubnation.

I see @Gil Scott-Heroin is still living in denial. .

go on, keep talking, keeeeep talking

Grizz been in this position before. Very close to getting over the hump but falling on their faces. I think they have the experience and know how now


Grizz big men been seeing doubles their entire careers. They'll just repost
Mane Warriors ain't beating this experienced team scoring 89 and 90 pts

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

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

What's going on in here?

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

saying my team can team is talking shyt now? smh. this series is far from over.

you on the other hand has thrown salt at the grizz, and every other western conference team from the jump, saying the warriors were gonna run through the playoffs, which was laughable. after the first game, you swore it was gonna be a cakewalk. now these last 2 games, instead of just saying, "you know what? memphis has simply been better. warriors have to get their shyt together", your pride comes in and now its "they just missed shots, or they've found a gameplan." some moral victory bullshyt.

you looking real funny to your boy gil.

What team will be able to automatically double TWO players and win?

That's simply not feasible against a playoff team with Mike Conley running the point.

Lol he just wanted to argue with me and pretend to acknowledge the refs trying to hand the game to Golden State, then turn around and act like the Warriors cut the lead down in the 4th because they figured out some effective strat that will guide them to victory from here on out

He LOVES to play both sides of the fence. Claims to have no team but his biases always show. He stands for nothing

So I guess in the end I am just SHOCKED that the narrative went from great defensive team, to now doubling two guys in order to win the series.

Unfukkingbelievable

I told y'all they would be food down low

That's fine. Small Warrior team will be out of position and the Grizz will dominate on OFF boards

No team will EVER get away with doubling 2 players consistently in the playoffs in the post like you are suggesting.

I'll let you keep dreaming though.

Those the 3 dudes who will suffer the most by being out of position during a double team
Their defense is smoke and mirrors. Told y'all a month ago that they will lose cause of interior defense
They score so much early in games that other teams become jump shooting teams too. Hence their defensive stats and them not having tough games late
in games and lacking that close game finish. Beat them in the 1st and 3rd qtrs. Classic front running team

I'm gonna tell you dudes a secret.

The best PG on the floor is not Steph Curry, and the Grizz clearly have an elite front court. Gasol is a gamebreaking center, and ZBo albeit older, is still a savvy vet. The Warriors are not really built for a street fight and the Grizz have been watching Roadhouse on repeat for the past few years.

I really hope the Warriors lose just so all the advanced stats geeks can go away forever.


I can't be the only annoyed by that shyt being brought up all the time as if it actually gives context to what's happening in the game.

Cause Curry isn't a PG. If that brother don't go off for 35+ they can't win

their arrogance

grizz have had leads of 16 and 19 in games 2 and 3 respectively, despite gasol playing subpar and no production from #32 from memphis. the refs really got these boys feeling good about themselves.

Lol you're barely worth responding to at this point. Beyond hope

Nah, let them keep thinking that the strategy would work.

It's literally one of the most ridiculous plans I have seen in a while on here. 4/5 on the court are focusing immediately on 2 players down low, it sounds absurd even shytting on it.

you are unbelievable smh. you actually posted that clowns video, an over evaluator with an agenda to drive?

you are trying so hard to discredit the grizz.

Broken jumper counts as an injury?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

B-b-but that's Jeff Green according to @Gil Scott-Heroin

He was the final piece to the championship puzzle and made them the most complete team in the league

Isnt that right, @holidayinn21 ?

They're still the second best team in the West. And I never said it made them the most complete team in league, I said it could be argued that they were.

at you tryna deflect all the dumb shyt you said.

 

[ryderldb]

How do you archive every quote that comes at you sideways? shyt is amazing

Allen wouldn't make a difference. Warriors are the better team. Did you forget when they were leaving him open last game and he missed all those shots?
