Not counting (or discounting lol) Portland bc the clips lost their top two in round 1, this is probably the first playoff team they've had to reckon with. And it's their bravado that helps them compete. Much like okc at times. Great game btw.

But seriously, Draymond's leg is a safety hazard. It's almost comical to watch at times. This isn't hating, but he ain't no Misty Copeland

Exactly.

Dray is like Rodman with muscular distrophy.

Rodman always had purpose and affected the minds of his adversaries. Draymond...not so much.

Dup comment.

I think draymond is incredibly skilled and will go down as one of the great second rounders ever. He's a top 10 guy in the league and I think should have been 1st team all NBA as center.

But he bugs me so bad. All the after play crap. The jawing at refs. The flexing. Just shut up draymond and play basketball.

Well said. Coming from a Dubs fan, I agree. Regular season, didn't bother me as much cuz we were winning. But to do it being down in the series, c'mon now.

bballcollector · 05-26-2016, 11:51 PM

Win or lose some of you will find anything to cry about. If Russ taunts I wouldn't give a damn and he does it all the time. I rather listen to Nycamfan complain about the refs.

Finally a good response. I don't care if he's talking or flexing just don't do it excessively.

I couldn't agree more.

If Thunder win it next game and go to the finals then they would have had one hell of a road to the finals, I respect that. Makes the Cavs road look pitiful.

I still hate the Thunder and cannot stand Westbrooks ugly mug, but you gotta respect there playoff run so far. They popped the defending champs in the mouth and made them play there game, no doubt about it. Dubs don't really know what to do.

LoveItCards · 05-27-2016, 12:46 AM

Here's the card I'll give away if the Warriors win in 7. Sorry for the big pic.

An absolute embarrassing take. So wrong, not factual at all. The guy with the best handle in the NBA can't get off his own 3 point shot? Do you watch the games ever?

LoveItCards · 05-27-2016, 12:52 AM

Curry's effectiveness of hitting 3's without a screen looks to be somewhat down the last 3 games probably due to good Thunder defense.

Man you are a stalker, but once again for all the trolls like yourself. I can't help that I work during some of the games. I work on Saturday (probably not much past 9), but are you going to keep tabs on me for Game 6? Should I file a PPO?

pingbling23 · 05-27-2016, 12:54 AM

i know the all nba selections have people swayed right now but draymond top 10 in the league??? 14/10/7 with a per of 19 in his greatest season. come on now.

I'd say he was definitely a top 10 player this year. Like I said in another thread, defense is half the game, he is a top 2 defender in the league. He is so good at so many things, he's not a traditional star, but he definitely is one.

i realize he is solid on both ends of the floor but i can easily name more then 10 players i would take over him.

Vipertron · 05-27-2016, 01:02 AM

What about Klay?

When will the contest begin? I'm guessing after game 6.

trainuser385 · 05-27-2016, 01:44 AM

I think that obviously Klay and Curry are beasts. When one is off the other seems to step up their game. But at the end of the day, I believe that GS expended a lot of energy on that win. Thunder shot like a** and still managed to be in the game. Congrats on the Warriors for defending home court.

Thunder up!!! Glad to see this series a heavy weight fight.

Overall numbers shouldn't be the only way to determine the value of a player.

Although I have noticed around here that seems to be the method.

LoveItCards · 05-27-2016, 01:52 AM

I offered to not post on here for 7 days if the Warriors somehow pulled this series off and when I'm back on day 8 I'll have a cool plan on how to give this thing away. Yahoo!

yiguiri2002 · 05-27-2016, 02:35 AM

Am I the only one that saw Curry's pump as more of a emotional thing than a taunting celebration? Up 8 with more than a minute to go against KD and Westbrook...I don't think he was celebrating nor mocking anyone. Looked like he was pumped about the steal. It was dumb (it could have led to a turnover) but it's being exaggerated.

Draymond needs to stop though. Flexing muscles and continue kicking around? Even the Warriors fans are getting tired of this. Ridiculous.

I feel like Saturday game is going to be awesome. Whatever happens from now on, I think the Finals are gonna be amazing.

theyre not. but i guess thats the argument when a players stats dont stack up to the leagues best. is it far fetched to think people use stats to determine how good or valuable a player is? i know he is more valuable then his stats and per show, but top 10, im not seeing it.
