hello friends it's the 2018 NBA Playoffs, a place where dreams GO 2 DIE

there are other problems with the warriors but i'm thinking that kerr might have run his course with them. he's not special as a tactician and i don't think it's crazy to wonder if he's healthy enough to be a head coach.

Their bench had........ 4 points

right, the thing that should start getting widely discussed is that they've done a horrific job with the margins of their roster

agreed Kerr should be fired, think Golden State could maybe trade him for Thibs they need a little tenacity

prob important to note that this series is not technically over

yeah their roster construction is getting exposed with the iggy injury

Whodathunk 8 Center’s was a bad idea?

i suppose some people would have asked for Pops to be fired after the 2004 conference semifinals loss to the lakers

they literally don’t have another wing. livingston is kinda one on d but is basically a PF on offense. nick young didn’t play tonight. quinn cook was in the d league last year. jordan bell and looney can’t play in crunch time.

up 3-2 is like an 80+% win expectancy iirc. cp3 injury is massive of course but it didn't affect this game in which the warriors were really exposed.

if the warriors merely have gerald green they probably win tonight

that was always gonna be the case though, the weakness of a frontloaded roster is injury

the celtics lost 2 of their 3 best players and run 7 deep in a way that the warriors don't

mccaw injury is bad too. he was worth a solid 15 minutes a game in the finals last year.

the rockets are also just really good they deserve a lot of credit here.

you guys are going to make me root for Kerr and the Warriors stop it

guards and bigs suck

i love kerr hes great at managing egos

nick young doesn't know where to play on the floor and omri casspi was hated by the organization to the extent that he got waived. it's not our job to know those things but it is bob myers' job iirc

i do think it’s possible kerr retires

i would’ve played nick young tonight personally... i don’t think quinn is better than him

Kevin Durant:
-Game 4 = 9-for-24 (37.5 percent = worst playoff % with the Warriors)
-Game 5 = 8-for-22 (36.4 percent = worst playoff % with the Warriors)

and everything looks off balance. also just really poor effort on loose balls and moving off ball. him and curry both deferring way too much in the snd half. curry just needs to take over thats when theyre at their best

they loved casspi but he didnt want to shoot for whatever reason.

kerr on the podium talking about how kd post ups are a great option

i'm honing in on the problem with the warriors--they think they're much better than they are

yeah i was thinking during the last couple games they often seem to play like they just need to get to the buzzer and then they get the W no matter the score

^^^^yes this

their nonchalance with the ball is pretty cocky

They just have never been that clutch, other than KD. They're fine when they're blowing out another team, but when it's close...

this kills me and has always been their achilles heel. and when you have no margin for error like this it's just infuriating. that draymond pass to harden for a dunk may haunt me forever.

in the first half tonight they were throwing ahead passes in semi-transition like it was february game against the kings

yup

they think they're great at that stuff! and in the meantime they have one actual ballhandler who is fragile and 30 years old.

Boston vs Houston finals would be so nice

kd has looked so off idgi. curry is outrebounding him this series.

xp

Yesssssssss

rockets-celtics would be competitive but gross i think

everything from here on out will be gross

d'antoni getting a ring with these rockets instead of with the mid-aughts suns is like when scorcese got best picture for departed

Warriors are 1-5 in these playoffs when Draymond Green commits 4 or more turnovers, 9-0 w/ 3 or less:
-Game 4 at Spurs = 5 = loss
-Game 3 at Pelicans = 7 = loss
-Game 5 vs Pelicans = 5 = win
-Game 2 at Rockets = 4 = loss
-Game 4 vs Rockets = 4 = loss
-Game 5 at Rockets = 6 = loss

rockets shot 17 more threes than the warriors. if curry doesnt take 25+ shots for the next two game dubs lose.

respect

Steph Curry on the Chris Paul shimmy: "If you can shimmy on someone else, you gotta be alright getting shimmied on."

— Anthony Slater (@anthonyVslater) May 25, 2018

Hopefully this sparks a movement and next season is filled with players shimmying on each other.

damn that game was intense can i just say DRAAAY DRAAAAY lol owned

cp3 made very many insane shots hope his hammy isnt too bad he did not look too happy abt it

dray low key cooked btw idk know why no one mentioned this when discussing the warriors problems

*their biggest problem is kerrs motion offense is not good they shd use the #1 cool play the pnr which ive been advising for years

this is what america wants, this is a depiction of americas sweetheart
