Running 2014-15 NBA Thread

LMAO! Thanks, Pern!

 

Exactly.

Love how some guys misinterpret the statements to make their narrative, or perhaps its simply reading comprehension and the need to be snarky. I didn't say scoring 57 while hitting 90% of 3s was what was not leading it a championship, its the style of how Irving scored those points that I was bringing to light.

 

I mean, the guy looks exactly like him, right?

 

Ibaka out for up to 6 weeks. Oof.

 

There is a real chance that they miss the playoffs at this point. As good as Westbrook has been, you can't count on a healthy Durant (who has already rushed back once) and Ibaka is the key to their interior D.

 

Funny how fast windows close sometimes.

 

No doubt, especially in the orange shirt.

 

It was only one home game but last night's GSW beat down of the Hawks was fun to watch. When the Warriors are playing suffocating, switching D and cleaning up the rebounds and getting out on the fast break, they are a hard team to beat. Thankfully, Kerr has the power and confidence to sit a former All-Star (DLee) and stick to the long, athletic, switching D plan (that he apparently developed and presented in his interview with the team brass).

 

Uh oh. Durant shut down.

Seriousness.

 

I would've loved a GSW-OKC matchup in the first round if he'd been healthy. They might've averaged 120 each. Without him... I see many triple-doubles in losing efforts for Westbrook.

 

And tonight they clinch their first Pacifc crown in 39 years. Perhaps its because I still bear the scar tissue of the Chris Cohan regime, but, the Warriors?
