Any NBA fans in here?

Rob Parker is an idiot. He would prefer to bury anyone rather than credit Steph.

 

Who is Rob Parker?

 

Detroit sports talking head, got fired from espn.
I've yet to find anything he likes. If the warriors win without KD then KD is a chump and the competition is weak, if they lose without KD, they are chumps and only won the previous 2 because of him. 5 consecutive trips to the finals can't be because they are good, it can only be because every other team in the league is crap. Steph is over rated, blah blah, blah. Keeps repeating that Steph was the author of the only 3-1 choke job in the finals. How some of these idiots get a job is beyond me. What they say tells me more about their own character than who they talk about.

 

Warriors

 

I’d like to see Klay make a statement about all nba voting.

 

This could be the year for the east. I'm still all in for Toronto.

Leonard, Lowry, and Gasol playing their hearts out.

 

Toronto played a heck of a game but Oakland was right there if they slipped up.

 

Warriors looked like shit. How many turnovers? I lost track at 14. They slogged it out in a half court style that is not a winning formula for them. Don't know why Kerr elected to sit Bogut the entire game, and instead, play an out of shape Cousins. They routinely left Raptor shooters wide fucking open, and watched them drain threes. Pretty poor performance.

 

Gut check win for Warriors. Don't know how many guys they'll have to play in Oakland.

Durrants not ready.
Loony took a serious fall and is questionable.
Thompson looks questionable.
Somethings wrong with Curry. No one knows yet. Flu maybe.

Walking wounded.

 

DeMarcus had a great game and team defense was much better. Costly though, you wonder if the have enough numbers to finish.

 

Toronto got over confident with their first half performance and let the Dubs back in it in the 3rd with an 18-0 run.

They almost came back and got it but it just got too far away for them to manage.

And yes giving all the circumstances for Golden State I think they can actually sneak into Oracle and steal one.

I will thoroughly enjoy my free taco from last night though.

 

Warriors need to pull it together

 

How do you pull it together when your team looks like residents of a M.A.S.H. unit? No Durant. No Thompson. No Looney. Cousins still trying to get back into shape. Iggy slowed but still fighting. If they don't get Klay or Kevin back they're done.

 

Even considering... they certainly made a game of it. Any time the Raptors tried to run away the dubs would at least make it closer.

The Raptors need to continue on with the attitude that that team can and will beat them if they slip up... if they go thinking they got the series on lock they will lose.

 

Bummer. Gotta say it though, Raptors outplayed us, better on offense and defense and seemingly never missed an open look.

 

Warriors couldn't buy a bucket the last 2 games

Right around the time the guy got elbowed in the face and they took a break I saw a stat that said they had missed 13 of their last 15

 

Yep. Heard that, as well. That's when I turned to the Giants game. Couldn't take the abuse of all the missed shots. Curry killed them with a cold night. And all the turnovers. Sheesh.

 

/series.

Drive home safely Oakland.

 

There is precedent in coming back from a 3-1 deficit.

 

Here's a pretty good breakdown of what the Raptors are doing to win
