BwareDWare94 723 Posted May 7, 2013 The Warriors and Grizzlies won't collapse again like they both did in game 1, so both San Antonio and Oklahoma City must play much better here on out. Tonight, go Grizzlies and Pacers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Admiral 28 Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) The Warriors and Grizzlies won't collapse again like they both did in game 1, so both San Antonio and Oklahoma City must play much better here on out. Tiago is also supposed to return and Timmy won't be playing the rest of the series with a terrible flu like he had in game 1... Also won't be coming off 8 days of rest and playing rusty as hell around the basket for three quarters. Edited May 7, 2013 by The Admiral Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted May 8, 2013 Kendrick Perkins is extremely useless when OKC isn't playing Howard or Bynum. He's a defender in the paint, but my God, no offense. Like, absolutely nothing yo. He can't guard Gasol, and he produces nothing on offense. Get him outa there. But it is fun as hell watching Memphis' defense. Tony Allen down the stretch was great.

I know, but even with Curry going off the Warriors were beating the Spurs in every way possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted May 9, 2013 The officiating was awful as usual. But happy the Heat got the dub. Steph Curry's one leg three? Dope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted May 9, 2013 The officiating was awful as usual. But happy the Heat got the dub. Steph Curry's one leg three? Dope. Yeah. I didn't see it but for some reason I doubt either Noah or Gibson deserved to be ejected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted May 9, 2013 Depends on what you mean. Their actions warranted ejectuons, but the refs massively failing caused their reactions.... So I call it a draw. This GSW game already looking like a good one. The Spurs Woulda lost last time if klay played those last minutes. I know I know... Woulda coulda shoulda, but still.

BwareDWare94 723 Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) I can't recall a single time when two rookies looked so damn good for one team. Anybody else intrigued by how good Barnes and Green already are? I don't know how the Spurs can win this series. I really don't, because the Warriors are outplaying them in every way imaginable. Their stars are playing better. Their role players are playing MUCH better. Their bigs are beating the shit out of every Spurs big but Duncan. The Warriors aren't as good as the bandwagon will tell you, not yet anyway, but they're getting better by the game. They're good, and they're only getting better. You heard it here: This team could big a dark horse challenger for the Heat. They're built the right way and they have enough guys who can score the ball that LeBron can't focus on a DRose type player and ruin their entire offense. Watch out for this team if they move on.

The Admiral 28 Posted May 9, 2013 Lol, Klay was committing dumbass fouls in game 1, and was very deserving of fouling out. The Warriors played great tonight. Very proud of the Spurs second half effort, but they cant afford to keep falling behind by 12-18 points this entire series. The Warriors are too good offensively to keep giving up huge leads due to their amazing shooting ability. When Curry/Thompson are hitting shots like they are, they can beat anybody. It is scary because there is not defense for it. Step back 2s/3s, pull up 2/3s, off the dribble, driving to the lane... they have been doing it all. The Oracle will be a huge challenge for the Spurs and I am excited for it. On to the next one... lol Chris bosh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BwareDWare94 723 Posted May 9, 2013 I still think we'll see a Heat/Grizzlies Final resulting in a Miami sweep. I doubt it. Memphis may not be the offensive team a healthy OKC is, but they're twice the defensive team and they move the ball much more, more like the Dallas team that beat Miami. Memphis is a matchup nightmare for Miami. It could very easily be a great series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted May 10, 2013 I don't think Memphis is as much a threat against the Heat as one would think. They'd get overwhelmed. And as much as I'm cheering for the GSWs, I just don't trust a jump shooting team to make it all the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're better than anybody else Miami might face, and yes, I'm including Indiana in that statement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonovanMcnabb for H.O.F 2,241 Posted May 10, 2013 But how much does it matter? The Grizzlies haven't faced an offense like the Heat either, nor will they probably face one like the Heat. Or a defense that can pressure lanes like the Heats. I just don't think the defensive ability will make up for the offensive discrepancies, or the Heat's explosive offense.

I'm not saying that the Grizzlies would win the series, but they certainly could compete because you and I both know that the combination of ZBo and Gasol is quite a bit tougher than the Noah/Boozer duo that's giving the Heat so much trouble. Also, I think Tony Allen could take Wade out of the picture, for the most part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
