no he wasn't. and he's shown that same flash of talent his entire career and it led to nothing but him becoming a career journeyman.
He averaged 18 ppg and 8 rpg in the playoffs fam. He also averaged 2 spg and 5 apg and shot 50% from the field and 48% from 3. If that's not wanting to win then I don't know what is.

Optimism runs high in the Bay Area.

Particularly in Oakland — where Hall of Famer (as of this weekend) Gary Payton is from and where the Warriors still play. (And will for a few years at least, getting a new stadium built on the water in San Francisco is a Herculean task the owners undertook.)
Payton told Scott Howard-Cooper of NBA.com he is on the Warriors bandwagon.

''I think they’re going to be there,” Payton said. “I think they have a good chance of going. Picking up Andre (Igoudala), that was a good pickup for them. I think if (Andrew) Bogut plays well, they’re going to have a great chance. I just really do believe that. And I think Mark Jackson’s doing a great job down there. I’m really proud of my city. That’s why I mention it. People always think about our city as being the crime city. But they don’t understand. We’ve got a lot of good people coming out of there doing great things in athletics and doing a lot of things that’s positive. We want these kids to understand that they can do the same thing and come out and just keep our generation going that’s coming out of that area.”

Memphis is our biggest threat imo. We can slow down all the other teams with our defense.

Check dem numbers fam, there's 2 sides of the ball.

alright.

21, 8, 3 & 2 steals >>>>>>>>>>>> 18 + 8

and it was Iggy's "defense" against Klay that allowed the Dubs to set the tone for the series and steal homecourt from us. I'm not let you have that one, breh breh. :ufdup:

Efficiency doesn't matter? I haven't even looked at the defensive efficiency numbers but I guarantee Iggy was more efficient offensively. How did Klay set the tone in that series?

efficiency matters, but when you take into account Lawson was the focal point of the Dubs' defense and generating those good looks for Iggy, their %s have a different context. props to Iggy for finally knocking them down, I guess.

Klay was the only Warrior to score 20+ in the first two games, including going 5-6 from 3 in the pivotal game 2 (when we lost homecourt).

Steph was lighting Lawson ass up in that series.

We have a top 5 perimeter defender in Iggy, we have a top 5 post defender in Bogut. We ain't worried about nothing, you show me another team that can say they have the same besides Memphis.
Bogut is a good defender, but not top 5.....barely top 10.
