Warriors lack of a post player is killing them

[ManBearPig]

David Lee needs more minutes.

He was a top 5 post player in the NBA last year....did he drop off that much?

Like the Lakers led the league in 3s every season when they had a prime Shaq.

:Chill1:

We saw a team use the zone to essentially shut down everyone but Shaq in 2003-2004.


And teams weren't launching threes like this from 00-03 either

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

Put a team out there against either one of these squads that cannot shoot the 3 and relies on the post only and see what happens :DripDrip:


There needs to be a balance, if a team did have a great post player today, they'd probably lead the league in 3s a result.

Van gawdy shall teach them the powers of the post up and kick out 3s...

Drumgawd and stan van muhammad will lead us to the promise land

He was not a top 5 or a top 30 player last year. He was a solid big man getting ample opportunities because the guards spread the floor.

David Lee can change this series

A healthy GS struggling against a team from the supposedly trash East that lost their 2nd and 3rd best player...

Excuses?

Your arguments are never consistent.


And the shift in 3 point shooting coincides with a shift in the lack of dominant post players. You think teams are shooting more threes today simply because they are better shooters?

You have got to be kidding me.


The shift in shooting comes from the fact you can load the strongside, front a post player and bring weakside help basically playing a 2 man zone while STILL being able to defend the remaining players on the floor.

The zone is the reason shooting has exploded, you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about. The Houston Rockets led the NBA in 3 pointers made and attempted with one of the best post players ever, that basically blows holes in your idea that lack of post play is why 3 point shooting has increased


Players are better at shooting the 3 today, we could go with numbers on that one too

We just gonna ignore Curry playing like a 2nd string waterboy for 3.75 quarters

Top 5 post player as in scoring in the post

Not top 5 player.

He saved himself with that fourth. He was going to get murdered if he kept playing how he played.

 

[UpAndComing]

Even if they had a post player though he would be in ineffective with the way Steph and Klay pkay takin all those quick shots. Thats one of the reasons David Lee is buried so far on the bench

No it's just Steve Kerr is too dumb to know what do with him

 

[ManBearPig]

He saved himself with that fourth. He was going to get murdered if he kept playing how he played.

hopefully that momentum can carry into game 4.

fukk that late game heroic shyt

The games are close because he is incapable of showing heart on every possession like an MVP should. Truly disgusting display of basketball. Bronze is ruining his legacy like he ruined Durant's

Nah curry showed alotta heart. I thought dude was done and he balled the fukk out in the fourth, damn near brought me back. Everybody else on GS besides him, Iggy and to a certain extent Klay looking soft as shyt right now
