Nets @ Warriors GT

[Manny98]

No Harden, No KD

Ree bout to drop 50!

[Manny98]

Kyrie taking Curry to school

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

I thought harden was going to play. He hates Irving that much huh.

Probably a blowout now

[Spurs m8]

Still gets me, the frequency of those travels.

And the fact they call them....but let others take 4 steps on a layup

[Kblaze8855]

When I checked a few hours ago Harden was playing. I’d hate to even try to attend a game these days. Can’t assume anyone shows up.

Absolutely agree

Yeah. Kawhi is a player I really wish I could be a fan of, but it's hard to because he started all the load management crap. If you're hurt, sit it out. If you're not, there's no excuse for not playing.

[Manny98]

Patty & Kyrie are DEADLY together

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

Well hopefully this allstar starter thing got to wiggins head. He can continue to take the rhythm out of superior players curry and klay. They'll never win anything that way hahahaha

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

Kawhi wouldn't sit out big games like this on a non back to back. The way i see it, the superstar carries your ass the entire season. The least you can do as a role player is beat the bad teams he usually ends up sitting out against. On top of that, he's helping you get your stats up to get paid. Sounds like a good teammate to me. As long as he's not taking playoff games off for rest.

That's one perspective....I see it a lot differently though. I see it as the role players don't get to take games off, so why should the stars? At best, it's poor leadership.

[Taurus]

Getting real sick of this Curry slump

[tpols]

Patty & Kyrie are DEADLY together

Patty Mills is nice.

[Manny98]

Wiggins showing why he deserved to make the all star team, tremendous on BOTH ends :applause:

[Taurus]

All Star starter Wiggins pulling thru when we need him

[SATAN]

Curry with 2 points, 1-7 :biggums:

This shit is getting real weird.

[Manny98]

17 points 7 rebounds 2 steals 2 blocks .... At the half?

[Full Court]

I'm sure it's happened some time before, but I can't remember a star ever having the kind of slump Curry's been having that wasn't from an injury. Maybe the dude needs to see a psychiatrist or something.

[tpols]

Curry and klay aren't doing anything and dray ain't playing yet the dubs still look dominant. Wiggins, Poole, and Otto Porter jr. this team is a contender once the original trio wake up.

[SATAN]

this team is a contender once the original trio wake up.

They already have the second best record in the league.

[SATAN]

Curry 2-12 :milton

[Manny98]

Curry bricking the Nets back into the game :oldlol:

[Spurs m8]

The superstar also gets paid an insane amount for money, you absolute spud

[Manny98]

Let's go! :bowdown:

[tpols]

Kyrie going off. Does feel like he has the splash bros numbers. Klay can't guard him at all.

[Proctor]

Aldridge out there grown manning those fools like he did carrying the Spurs during the Kawhit era. :bowdown:

[Proctor]

Damn :facepalm

Nets needed him

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

Why didn't Aldridge retire. He's so damm soft he makes Kevin love look like a badass

[L.Kizzle]

Steph is obviously trolling us.

[SATAN]

The hell was that turnover by Irving? :lol

[Proctor]

Patty m8 the basketball god. :bowdown:

[Manny98]

Patty m8 the basketball god. :bowdown:

:bowdown:

[BigShotBob]

Patty m8 the basketball god. :bowdown:

Olympic Mills is crazy I'm always surprised if his shots don't go in

[Manny98]

Blake is the king of drawing charges

[imdaman99]

This Edwards kid is pretty good, at least defensively.

[Manny98]

This Edwards kid is pretty good, at least defensively.

40% from 3 as well!

[SouBeachTalents]

Damn, Klay with the potential dagger

[1987_Lakers]

Klay!

[imdaman99]

Freakin Klay to the rescue :mad: wanted to see Kyrie go into Golden State 'alone' and win

[jlip]

Gonna come down to free throws now

[SATAN]

Nice shot by Irving.

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

Lebron fans think 2016 was so special. Irving can practically beat curry by himself. All Lebron had to do was dribble the ball a little bit hahahaha

[BigShotBob]

Jesus christ Kyrie this is who Lebron had as a second option???

[bladefd]

Kyrie is always clutch as hell

[1987_Lakers]

Jesus christ Kyrie this is who Lebron had as a second option???

Just blew the game with a dumb foul.

[Proctor]

How TF do you not challenge that?

[BigShotBob]

Just blew the game with a dumb foul.

:oldlol: weak call

[Kawhi_Why_Not]

We had a good game and then Klay trips over himself and gets a foul that seals the game? wow thanks for wasting all our time refs

[SpaceJam]

Curry carried by a real all-star. Maple Jordan :bowdown:

[Manny98]

Look at Kyrie man so inspirational hugging all the Warrior players after the game, so humble and just happy to be back on the basketball court :applause:

LeBron on the other hand...

[Proctor]

Nets have such a tough team. They never would have made that comeback with Harden in the game. Would have been chucking stepback 3s. :oldlol: Get rid of him

[1987_Lakers]

Just hope the KD injury isn't that serious. The Nets have played like ass since he went down.

Warriors on the other hand are gonna be a problem once Draymond comes back (and when Curry finally wakes up, lol).

That's what's scary about the Warriors. They've accumulated the 2nd best record in the league with Klay barely playing and Curry being in a slump for 2 months. They've also now won 5 in a row without Dray. If those 3 are healthy and the Splash Bros, esp Curry, are playing to their regular capacity, watch out. I'd still pick a healthy Nets team to win it all, but the Dubs would be my pick to come out of the West.

It's called strategy/brand of ball (no talent needed) - without all those players that you listed (talent reduced), the Warriors can still win (strategy/brand).

But the #1 option can't be a ball-dominator otherwise the Warriors would have to play "Curry-ball" (spot-up roles for teammates) and then start over learning a good brand when he's out.. I know - it seems dumb and low IQ but a lot of teams play that way and need moar help all year regardless of cast.

[rmt]

It behooves the Nets to drop down to #6 in the East and NOT have home court advantage (so they have Kyrie).

[rmt]

Patty Mills is nice.

Fantastic glue guy too and so clutch (2014).

Yup.

Guys like Wiggins and Otto Porter Jr. and Jordan Poole were all castaway players and underachievers... Now Wiggins is an All Star starter with a full bag (3s, midrange posting, and slashing forays + their best defender) and Otto is basically 2015 Iggy.

Come to think of it Iggy, Bogut, Barnes, Livingston and Barbosa were all throwaways in 2015 too. Warriors system simply squeezes max juice out of its players because when Kerr first got there he told everybody to "...swing the ball". It was as simple as that.

[Mr. Woke]

Dumbass analysts really undersold how good the Warriors' depth is, while exaggerating the Nets' depth.

As I have said since the beginning of the season, the Nets' depth sucks ass. Meanwhile, you had people on this forum, Reddit, and Realgm who were on suicide watch when they signed Aldridge (close to washed, can't guard a traffic cone) and Millsap (beyond washed at this point). However, that isn't surprising since all of those forums are full of idiots who barely follow the NBA.

The Warriors have great depth in comparison.

That strategy is not great because Curry has underperformed several times in the playoffs.

His style of play is useful, but not as useful as you are making it seem.

[hold this L]

Just hope the KD injury isn't that serious. The Nets have played like ass since he went down.

Warriors on the other hand are gonna be a problem once Draymond comes back (and when Curry finally wakes up, lol).

Klay will also likely get closer to himself by the start of the playoffs. I don't think KD is serious, obviously you hope all these guys are healthy in May.

Steph is one of the best players ever in terms of elevation. Just wish the man finds his shot :(
