Wtf did the Warriors do wrong this series?

[GoddamnyamanProf]

They're finally facing a healthy team

Those miracle contested shots from 34 feet are just too hard to continue to make over the course of a 7 game series when you're playing a team with their full complement of players

You can get away with that in the regular season but when the other team knows what sets you're going to run and they know your tendencies inside and out then it's a totally different game

Yep Ive been saying it since last season. Everyone shytting on Barkley and claiming a jumpshooting team proved him wrong and won it all...but nah. Not against legit comp they didnt. No denying it was an anomoly to face the type of squads they did for 6 straight rounds. You can get away with that then sure, but against an equally talented, legit dangerous squad at full power? Even the best jumpshooters of all time aint gonna win that exchange very often.

Really doe alot of teams are big but that Golden State 'small ball' bullsh*t got hot and teams lost their way including my Clippers. Billy Donovan said f*ck all that sh*t. We're big and we're gonna play big

Not just big, though. Big and versatile. If it was say Kanter and Collison out there, they'd be getting carved up. But their combo of size and speed has allowed them to basically beat the Warriors at their own game with the smallball squad that aint really small.

Westbrook /Durant have shutdown the curry/Draymond pnr

There's no excuse for a lot of their turnovers.

If I wasn't feeling lazy I'd look up the points off turnovers... I'm sure it's high as fukk.

 

[gluvnast]

Simple. Thunder are a better team

They have zero weak links defensively in the starting 5, now Andre Roberson is hitting threes what do you do?

I been telling people all year we have the best starters in the league going by +/- and the worst bench, no one believed me . People keep quoting 4th quarter losses and not realizing it was because of our bench. Our bench don't play in the playoffs

 

[ThaRealness]

They thought regular season basketball was playoff basketball

This.

They literally treated those last 10 games like a playoff run

 

[Judgement!]

OKC ML for game 5

 

[My neck and my back]

We didn't get spared points from the free throw line from the refs to get help with our leads

 

[Big Boss]

It reminds of the 07 Patriots. They played with a chip on their shoulder and basically said "fukk you" to the whole league the entire season. And they set a regular season wins record. Then they got smacked in the mouth when they came across a more physical team in the playoffs. At least the Pats made it to the championship game though.

7



You forget the 07 Pats had to come back from 4th quarter deficits basically the last 8 games. Also it took probably the greatest/ luckiest play ever to beat them

Yeah yeah yeah

Dribble penetrate, and force some defensive confusion for OKC. Even though OKC was up most of the game I often saw Waiters and Canter lost on defense, Warriors shots weren't falling so Waiters and Canter got off easy. Kerr needs to figure that out.

 

[MrFantastic]

Kerr lost them the series...no adjustments at all not on D...take Curry off Westbrook no new looks on O..no wrinkles at all on their motion offense. They can't keep running these stale ass ball weaves

 

[Captain Crunch]

What did they do? They faced a healthy team in the playoffs.

Malcolm da GAWD put in that death note, that's why

Offensive rebounds too.

Adding up the points of turnovers and second chance points is probably high af.
