OT: NBA Play-in Games

Westbrook played the entire 2nd half as if it was the last 2 minutes of every other game of his career. He's a spectacular talent, but feast or famine for your team.
I wish the Celtics had lost for the lottery as opined earlier, but Tatum emerging as a true super-duperstar could be a silver lining. Another in that playbook is Celtics fans profane chants about Kyrie might at least serve to end the post-game ar$e kissing as the very teammates Kyrie quit on in the playoffs have to give him love.

Oh no. I’m fearful.

Ok, I saw it. Not the best choice but I’m thinking he isn’t using it the way the morons that have taken that over mean it.

Yea he likely had zero clue what it meant, most of these guys have stylists that pick their clothes out, they failed him on that choice
 
Fast start for GSW. 12-4 and a LAL TO

Love watching Draymond and Wiggins on D, Wiggins has turned into an All-NBA defender this year
 
Curry is still, somehow, underrated.

I guess some of the younger generation don't like him, I don't know what's unlikeable about him versus some other guys, but that's why I'm an old codger. He's likeable to me and dang good too.

Just think if Minnesota had taken him and anyone else instead of Jonny Flynn. The Warriors were pretty much sad sacks of the league just like the Wolves.

The younger folks that don't like him are just part of stanbases, he beat their team/favorite player too many times. He's still the greatest show in sports, there's a reason the Warriors have been on TV so many times despite their record.
 
Turnovers really killing the Warriors, it's always been a bugaboo for them

the curry one was a killer. 4 min left up 12 all the momentum. Defensive rebound chance for a fast break and he carelessly turns it over. Quick 3 for LA cut it to 9 and it was 5 60 sec later. Killer. They are also missing a lot of open 3s.

Not an accident the Lakers went on a run when they benched Drummond and put AD at the 5.
 
Draymond so overrated as a player... lost this game with his poor decision making

I don’t agree with either of these posts whatsoever... but I tell ya, Lebron is annoying when he gets “fouled hard.”

The dude is NOT soft, but he’s absolutely an A-list actor with his gyrations and laying on the ground for 10 minutes. Especially when replays show the extent of the fouls.

Draymond generally makes the right decisions on those 4-3s after the Steph trap, as Van Gundy noted.

Also worth mentioning, JVG referenced using Curry as a decoy on the last play knowing the Lakers aren’t going to let him get a clean look. After the screens, Wiggins was WIDE open on the pop in the corner but the passer went to Curry.

He flops 20x a game on both ends. Acts like he was murdered every time he goes to the ground. Whines to the refs after every call. He’s soft as hell.

I actually agree with all that except the conclusion. I don’t think that makes him soft, he’s not a soft player.

That acting goes back a long time in the game but it’s almost every player nowadays.

Rodman used to do it constantly, he was the opposite of soft.

Annoying, yes.

His ability to score has fallen off of a cliff and he had some poor turnovers last night(him & Steph) but his defense is so incredible that its impossible to overrate him. Dude was blowing the Lakers pick & roll action to bits last night. The Warriors just need one more quality starter to take the pressure off of Steph offensively so that the Warriors can make defenses pay when he's double and triple teamed, a healthy Klay and they would still be a contender.
 
That was a great basketball game. Anyone bitching about LeBron or Draymond needs to get some perspective and just enjoy sports. Even exceptionally athletic Humans have flaws, makes it more interesting when they succeed and when they fail.

Have you ever gotten poked in the eye? The eye is a prrrrrettty sensitive and unprotected part of the body. And it was a hard foul. God damn I get he embellishes but I swear he could get literally cut in half on the court and people would say “Jordan would’ve finished the game, LeFlop back at it” it’s so tiresome.

Draymond had 0 points in 41 min , 6 turnovers and can’t get out of his own way. Too overhyped as a player and we seen that last year by himself he did absolutely zero when everyone was hurt. His bark is more than his bite.

It’s kinda weird that you’re ignoring that Draymond is arguably the best playmaking big in the NBA other than Jokic. Even last night he had 8 assists. By my count he had 24 games of 10+ assists this regular season.

30 of 30 NBA teams would love to have somebody as good defensively and as good of a playmaker as Draymond Green is.

Thank you.

The guys never been a primary scorer. Pretending he’s a terrible decision maker who “can’t get out of his own way” because he had a few bad turnovers this game is disingenuous at best.

I don’t think people hate Lebron as much as they just have this deep devotional love to MJ (pretty weird if you ask me) and they denigrate LBJ as a proxy way of performing their compulsive MJ worship
