Lol I responded right under your post, and you quoted me. We don't gotta lie out here.

You said "on poor efficiency" which isn't really an answer to much of what I said. Nor was it true. It was just an added comment. I then talked about efficiency numbers in the finals and their precedence, demonstrating why your comment didn't make sense and then you really had nothing else to say. So you really never explained why the performance was "nothing to write home about"…

The funny thing is that person never responded to this. The Steph hate is never based in reality and instead based on media narratives 🤣

Steph hate is purely out of salt and 'Look at that bitch eating crackers' energy. He's changed modern basketball for the foreseeable future and that rubbed people the wrong way.

Draymond hate I get tho lol

Ah Vax Max Wiggins is playing
Mavs S H O O K


I still don't see why the Celtics guarded Bam from outside the 3 point line when he became point Bam
Bam is not taking 3's or long twos, he'll take free throw line jumpers so why respect him from out there, he's looking to crossover or find a cutter so fall back

Idk man, this is a bigger choke than the bubble currently

I love Smart. But I didn't realize he's a flopper until recently when someone on this very forum pointed it out. Now I question everything. Flop or serious injury? He went to the locker room barely walking and within 10-15 minutes was hobbling back out and played the rest of the game zero limping.

I'm gonna need you to stop this line of construct because questioning injuries in this manner is against the spirit of the NBA OT.

What would even be the strategic logic in the most consistent player on the team, the DPOY, to remove himself from a tight playoff game in a crucial period of
the game for such a long stretch, for no damn reason, with a fake injury? Do you understand how freaking weird this sounds? Do you think THE TEAM would be cool with him sabotaging a playoff game for... what reason? I'm failing to see any logic you are applying here. Your feels are shaky as hell.

Just dead it.

could see wiggins and poole having an off day today.
so it'll be how aggressive klay and curry play if others aren't hitting


GS has seemingly been the best 4th quarter team this postseason, but has been poor to start games.
so I'll be watching how they start, especially draymond's passing. Draymond can actually score inside this series

cause DAL won't give up a 20 point lead this game if they start hot

Imagine attacking the heat fans for leaving when Celtics fans left last night when the game was still close.

If we're lucky the Celtics fans will leave early tomorrow too. And hopefully never return to TD till next season

Ah, thanks. The Warriors would have been toast without M.A.X Wiggins with GP2s injury.

Who would be their next rotation players? Damion Lee? I don't know why the hell Kerr is playing Lee over Kuminga and Moody.

Kerr is really no different than any other coach in the NBA, they would just rather not play a rookie in important playoff games. They just seem to trust vets more no matter how bad they are.

Lee was a giant disaster in those minutes so Kerr doesn't really have a choice now.

I mean, are most of the people at the games really even fans? Everyone sitting in the first 10 rows or so is a celebrity or a 50+ white dude with a trophy wife and a collared shirt peaking out beneath the tshirt they give out. Would be nice to have some semblance of diversity (and most fan bases are going to be quite diverse).

Kuminga had to do something diabolical, Lee was getting cooked thoroughly and instead of put Kuminga in, kerr went down the bench to Moody.

man might not see minutes until next season

Won't be watching the game tonight. My anniversary is tomorrow so we drove to Michigan to celebrate.

Wishing nothing but curses and reverse curses on these teams! Good luck to whomever you're rooting for.

Stadium attendance is actually kind of a dumb way to measure how hardcore a fanbase is in the NBA. This isn't like football (soccer) where you can clearly see the cheap seats. Even nosebleed sections on decent teams are more than $100 usd.

Are you talking about the bench situation in game 2?
... you don't see a problem with an opposing member dressing like the home team and stand in the corner waving for the ball when he is NOT playing...?

That was my read of what the fine was, at least. Educate me if i am mistaken :o

What you're talking about is a shitty thing but you can move on from it. The thing is that someone would get hurt by stepping on their feet and that's where that bench thing becomes a problem.
