completely fine with being the last one to let it go, such is my disdain

xpsah yeah higher variance was the phrase I was dancing around but couldn't remember

I think chris has looked fine, just has been playing inconsistent. he was arguably the best non-KD player on the floor in game 2. and his defense has been mostly solid, spectacular at times
― k3vin k., Monday, 21 May 2018 18:30 (six years ago) link
he was also slumping pretty hard at the end of the season, he might be running out of gas a little

Winning 60 games in the NBA is dicey unless your stars can keep their legs.

seems like he barely played all season

he's been getting absolutely lit up on defense, and has been kinda lazy. he's masked it with a few good plays here or there (see his klay swat and save last night) but overall hes getting cooked.

CP was just ok in game 2. their role players won that game.

haha didnt even see this in real time last night
CP3 trying to get the refs to give him a call. Leaves him on the ground, can’t rotate back to his man and this shot was Curry’s first triple of the game pic.twitter.com/Az1iOlPTxp— BBALLBREAKDOWN (@bballbreakdown) May 21, 2018

I don’t have a team left, but I would take Celtics or Cavs, either one, don’t care. Then rockets, but I’ll hold my nose. Then cancel the playoffs. Then warriors.
― Jeff, Monday, 21 May 2018 19:45 (six years ago) link
I'm rooting for the Warriors :)

That third quarter from steph just...what do you even do when he goes off like that AND it triggers the avalanche
My suspicion was that when it happened both harden and cp3 would make it worse by looking for calls, going into zombie defense mode, etc, and it’s happening

I'm rooting for amazing, competitive playoff basketball.

In the $15 game I take mj and lebron, then Kd and barkley and spend my last dollar on hakeem. I make lebron play point and kd and Charles switch forward spots whenever they want. If I had an extra dollar I’d upgrade to bill Russell but maybe Hakeem is even better now I have a monster four man perimeter defense and Hakeem at the rim

the post is not *really* about rooting for the warriors...

dude no way, he was lights out. he was super involved, making all the right passes, great on defense. it didn't really show up in the box score but then again...that's chris

sorry but when you're building a team with a realistic chance to beat a ridiculously unfairly good all-time great team you might have to do it in a way that is not aesthetically pleasing to everyone. they have to squeeze value out of every possible spot because they don't have the luxury of having the warriors absurd roster
― k3vin k., Monday, 21 May 2018 20:44 (six years ago) link
oh damn, iggy doubtful for tomorrow.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Monday, 21 May 2018 21:25 (six years ago) link
game 4 is gonna be the tight one. must win for the rockets and the warriors dont want to give home court back.

every time shaun does something cool i just find my self wondering what type of player he couldve been.

a powerful James Harden knee

He probabky intended to say 'kneeing' or 'blow from James Harden's knee' or some such, but being a sports tweeter he decided to go the illiterate route.

lebron's doing this lean forward thing on his freethrows that reminds me of... late-period shaq's free throws

He has a tendency to bend the rules quite a bit on free throws.
