2018-19 NBA Thread

Wifey and I said it’s actually more fun when you don’t expect them to win. That was such a team win.

 

5 passes on the Thompson dagger vs iso ball.

I know which style I’d rather watch even if the Harden iso is effective.

 

Essence of Rockets, Gordon gets 10 shots in 36 mins, Green gets 9!! In 12???

 

It’s guess D’antoni is now in the mix for the Lakers gig?

 

That's one reason I'm really hoping Durant leaves. The Warriors are a better team with him but they're infinitely more fun to watch without him.

 

He dove. Let’s ask Ruben.

 

That's one of the most underrated aspects of the Warriors' game, their passing. I was screaming for them to take the ball directly to the hoop on the possession that decided it, but instead they threw the ball around and got a better shot.

 

It makes a world of difference that Klay Thompson is waiting at the end of that sequence.

 

I think that's the essence of those players. One knows his role, takes the shots that are his best and tends to make the most of them.

The other does not. His role is to walk in, try to get hot, and get benched when he's not

 

Marcus Thompson of The Athletic has the details:

On the eve of Friday's Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals, (Steph) Curry wanted to get some shots up at the Toyota Center. The Warriors do-it-all manager Eric Housen booked the court, from 7 to 8 p.m., so Curry could work on his shot.

Somehow, Rockets guard Chris Paul got wind. He decided to go to the Toyota Center to get shots up, nixing Curry's reservations. The Warriors' point guard offered to stick to half a court but Paul wasn't having it. Curry was kicked off the Toyota Center court.

This is ...... unbelievable.

Does it get any pettier than this?

And it's why Curry yelled "Kick me off the court again, boy!" as he celebrated the Game 6 victory with Draymond Green just outside the Warriors' locker room.

 

Paul is a dick puncher. Always will be.

 

So the Lakers are hiring Frank Vogel on a three year deal and hiring Jason Kidd as an assistant.

If I'm LeBron James I have Jeanie Buss on the phone right now, demanding a trade.
