Gameday: Warriors vs Suns

[hold this L]

Quick thread.

:pimp:

[Nilocon165]

3-1

[smoove1986]

Pachulia's defense will really hurt the warriors this season...

[broy_mvp]

Klay stinkin' up the joint, jeez

[Nilocon165]

:biggums: This Warrior team has been cringe so far this season

[Warriorsfan86]

Warriors about to turn it on. :rockon:

[Nilocon165]

Like the jerseys though.

[hold this L]

Klay 0-5 when he had Curry score all of the first 10 points, dude has tunnel vision in the worst of ways. Unless this team develops big time in a few months, they're not winning anything this year. You can't rely to score 130 per game to win.

Worst defense in the league so far Kerr and Adams, what the **** were you guys doing during training camp? :facepalm Zaza was a terrible purchase, Warriors needed a rim protector and instead got some punk dude who protects the rim as well as Ian Clark. Pathetic.

Can you imagine Lebron running through a punk ass beta like Zaza? He would average 50 in the finals. Hoping Warriors sign a proper rim protector in January or Jones turns out to be a stud once he's back from injury.

[CuhGetsBucks]

It's inevitable they will eventually fix things but jesus, this is putrid.

[sd3035]

Pachulia should not be in the NBA

[IGOTGAME]

Suns' dancers are the best I've seen this year...

[FKAri]

They spelled Bledsoe's name wrong on his jersey :lol
NBA is so amateurish sometimes :facepalm

[swagga]

Pachulia's defense will really hurt the warriors this season...

it's not pachulia, it's their whole damn frontcourt. david west was done 2 years ago, javale mcgee is a retard and varejao was worse than an injured mozgov. Besides draymond green they got NOTHING, they are exposed like hell inside.

Been saying this since day one and people are laughing :lol
The warriors will still get a lot of wins on talent alone but they'll get absolutely mauled in the playoffs. Clippers/spurs/cavs will be really bad matchups as they'll manhandle them badly.

under 60 wins here we come $$$$$$$ :rockon:

[CuterThanRubio]

^

That happened in the NFL this year at least once to my knowledge



Makes you wonder how close to gametime the jerseys are prepared, was it too late to correct the mistake or did it go completely unnoticed?

[Uncle Drew]

Curry getting mad and pushing Knight into the stands, followed by a Green airball. I love this.

[smoove1986]

draymond with the airball. something's going terribly wrong atm. what's up with klay n' dray? they're performing like they can't stand the pressure wich is on the team since the durant trade.

[FKAri]

Green didn't want to shoot that 3 pointer even tho he was wide open. He then proceeded to show everyone why :lol

[Nilocon165]

Durant gets the ball poked away from him and gets dunked on :roll:

[Rocketswin2013]

i hope the warriors announcers are humbled and better this year

[Nilocon165]

i hope the warriors announcers are humbled and better this year
Earlier in this game, Durant barely got touched and they went "WELL JEEZ APPARENTLY YOU HAVE TO TACKLE DURANT TO STOP HIM"

[swagga]

it's not the pressure on the team that is getting at them, it's the pressure of filling the wholes in the defense. Klay is getting many rotations on PFs and this is killing his stamina/legs => killing his shot. Dray has to erase more mistakes than ever so he is also overworked.

The warriors are just starting to see the realities of a very weak frontcourt, you either don't defend at all or you kill your stamina defending bigger players .. basketball 101.

[OmniStrife]

Suns gotta keep pressing hard, a much needed win if we can keep it up!

[pedromarinho]

I will mos def stop watching GSW if they keep playing this ugly ball.

[AirBonner]

well said :cheers: Warriors are very vulnerable this year. Thanks to Durant

[Bobcats2013]

servant :applause: :applause:

[Nilocon165]

I still can't believe this ****ing ***** went to golden state

[RedBlackAttack]

This is one of the worst last 30 seconds of a half I've ever seen. Just terrible plays by both teams.

[K Xerxes]

Such low IQ plays

[RedBlackAttack]

The Warriors' defense looks like squirting, liquid diarrhea.

thats what happens when you lose one of the best defensive centers in the game.



their offense looks notably worse as well.. went from a perfect ying yang of size, skill, and orchestration to a mess of hero iso ball..



and you guys complained all summer about this squad being the most stacked team of all time smh...

[pedromarinho]

Will KD be hated by GSW supporters soon? :biggums:

[Rocketswin2013]

durant ruined the best show in sports

[RedBlackAttack]

I would say they're missing all of the pieces they lost right now. Bogut was important, but so was Ezeli coming off the bench.

I have my doubts that they'll continue playing this mediocre, but rim protection doesn't grow on trees ... not to mention all of Bogut's (illegal) screening. They aren't the same team. That's for sure. Whether that is a good or bad thing, we'll find out.

There will be some dumb team that helps them out by the trade deadline and trades them a defensive big.

[ArbitraryWater]

My god, what a horrible closeout to the half by Phoenix.

[Bobcats2013]

nikkas really gonna act like its KD? zaza doesnt belong on this team. the nikka has no idea how to play dubs basketball. doesnt kno how to set a screen to save his ass, can barely play help D, doesnt know the switches, isnt a good passer, and the nikka doesnt know what contest means.

KD only a problem on the small ball line up for now. hell get better wit that lineup as season goes on. zaza gotta go

[CuterThanRubio]

Keep in mind that Bledsoe has torn his knees three separate times and is still the fastest guy on the floor.

He's a machine

[Rocketswin2013]

its fate. their front office is too good. they have months to do something.

reminds me of the '15 cavs but they had more pieces.

[pedromarinho]

Warriors need to do something else with their squad. This one rn won't win a ring.

[Bobcats2013]

finaqlly a good screen by zaza :cheers:

[RedBlackAttack]

No doubt.

They might have to give something up, though. Golden State does not like trading draft picks and they're in love with all their young picks.

It has only been 2 1/2 games. They still have four All-NBA players in their starting lineup and the best 6th man in the league.

But, I do think the Bogut/Ezeli combination was far more important to them than people realized. Bogut in particular is so good at, not just rim protection, but keeping the ball moving, understanding the game, and setting up other guys with screens or movement.

I'm not sure that what he did for them is replaceable. They could still be better, but it will take a much different form.

[RedBlackAttack]

Curry with the low BB IQ play. Seriously? You try to take that charge with 3 fouls?

[Orlando Magic]

No doubt.

You're also underestimating what taking the ball out of Curry's hands, if only partially, for Durant to spend time handling, is also doing to their offense.

Their problems are multifaceted.

They are going to improve from where they're at but they've gotten worse.

If they are able to add some depth and size without really sacrificing anything, it will be bad again for the rest of the league, but really not much better than they were last year. Chances are they don't get to add that without sacrifice. It's more than probable that they've regressed.

[Bobcats2013]

good shet by zaza this quarter.

livingston with that screen :applause:

[ArbitraryWater]

Warriors suck inside but Phoenix continues to take J's :oldlol:

I agree.

They had something very special with the way they played the last two years. They had a ton of talent, but it was more than that. They played a style that was all about trust and guys understanding roles.

They will never be that good in the regular season again.

I do think in situations like the one they ran into against the Cavs last year where the Cavs were really destroying their rhythm by slowing the game down and getting really physical with them on both sides of the ball ... well, now they have one of the best isolation players in the league who can get points without all that ball movement. So, while it may hurt them in the regular season that their system has changed, it makes them much more versatile in how they can attack down the road.

The difference between the Cavs and Warriors late in games or times that the offense bogged down was that they could always just dump the ball down to LeBron or give it to Kyrie and they could manufacture points out of nothing. Golden State can do that too now.



But, their interior defense is hurting them now and will hurt them then unless they fix it. Guys like LeBron and Kyrie will eat them alive. They'll also have a hell of a time keeping Love and Thompson off the glass.

[OmniStrife]

WTF is that bitchass Technical

[Orlando Magic]

Agreed. But if they don't fix their problem the Cavs aren't going to be an issue. The Spurs will.

If they are truly able to fix their problems, yeah, GS probably wins the title.

I personally don't think they will, but we'll see.

[TommyGriffin]

GSW got worse. KD has always been overrated. Cavs are the clear cut favorite.

[tpols]

insane wishful thinking :oldlol:

Man you're gonna look dumb


dont try a dray n klay flip ... you are the one that is being proven the dummy all along for all your comments on Bogut.


"man you're gonna look dumb"


mfer you look dumb right now.

.. what?

[Bobcats2013]

curry and iggy got no calls wtf :eek:

[Orlando Magic]

Suns were probably going to lose but the refs made a bad call and just sealed the game for the Ws with that clear path call.

[warriorfan]

Orlando Meltdown

[IGOTGAME]

they just letting Curry manhandle people before the post entry passes

[Orlando Magic]

Orlando Meltdown

TommyGriffin

[Spurs m8]

Warriors LMFAO

[RRR3]

Curry with dem 3 assists and a plus minus of 0. Better than Durant doe.

[Bobcats2013]

Warriors LMFAO

another W m8

[hold this L]

Attack is going to take 1-2 months to get figured out, but you can see the cracks and potential in several plays and almost plays. This will get time.

I don't see improvement from Zaza when it comes to rim protection. Dude just sucks and guarding people near the rim.

[Spurs m8]

another W m8

On paper.

Not for the roster.

Not overall.

3 very average performances, considering the so called talent.

Top heavy team, needs roster changes to win a title.

[El Gato Negro]

I don't think the w's defense can be fixed.

[tpols]

I don't think the w's defense can be fixed.

when you lose the weight battle everytime its inevitable. Between barnes and bogut they dropped 50+ lbs.. Featherweights now

[ArbitraryWater]

Curry scored 28 points.
8
