2016 NBA Playoffs Thread: Post-Joey Crawford Edition

[Paulius]

Lol i thought draymond was more thicked skin and strong mentally. Dude let all this shit get in his head. Dont understand why hes still on the court

 

[Paulius]

Time to start giving out mvps when the entire season ends

 

[Pugz]

Shouldnt have gone for 73 wins then and rested. That happened around the time he looked quite fatiqued at times. Playoffs>record

yea i agree but if youre close to that record, you go for it. the whole team is drained mentally but their leader being a step slower because of his knee doesnt help.

 

[CP3MVP]

a team as good as GS should be stepping up in the wake of their leader's injury rather than being humiliated on national television two games in a row.

 

[snipezo]

Waiters gonna wait.

The warriors peaked at the end of regular season, the thunder peaked now. Its over. Good to see kd and russ get back to the finals

 

[Hurricane Season]

Dubs are definitely shook, but they have game 5 at oracle. Protect home court, play like a fucking 73 win team in game six, then you have a game seven at home.

 

[elcheato]

Some strong takes in this thread

Let's be honest, first and foremost. Billy Donovan is slapping the shit out of Steve Kerr in this series.

The MCL sprain was a freak accident. Could have happened in game 1 as well as game 90.

If I was Kilganon I would be pissed. His Dunk was easily the best of those three. Mayberry literally did the exact same Dunk 3 times and the fire Dunk was dumb. It was a regular Dunk. Who cares if there's fire? You still have to jump the same height. Anyone in the contest would have completed that first try.

Damn right, man.

Fake ass COY, fake ass mvp

I agree, but lets not pretend like this mcl injury is still borthering him. I know warriors fans gonna throw out that excuse cuz thats all they got but even kerr last night said curry isnt hurt

 

[Hurricane Season]

Does OKC beat the Spurs with Scott Brooks?
 
It's weird that a college coach with no NBA experience is what finally got the Thunder to get it.

im serious, have you ever had a knee sprain? its not easy to come back on. especially when the team you lead absolutely needs you 100%

They're "the deepest team in the league" according to many analysts ... Kerr said that Curry isn't playing hurt. He's just flat out getting dominated. It was clear last night what OKC's strategy was -- keep a body on him at all times and don't allow him to move around like he usually does. Being physical and attached at his hip doesn't allow him to roam and get open shots.

It's not weird at all. Donovan has been through tournament runs where he had to make constant adjustments. That's the clear difference between him and Brooks--in-game adjustments.

I doubt they allow that defensive strategy back in Oakland. You're supposed to have freedom of movement. I bet the fouls pile up in game 5 for OKC.

Probably right since they'll be playing at home. That seems to be the theme in these playoffs, sadly.
