If Steph is out, KD vs Russ first round would break tv records man

This has to be the #NewGoal

 

[Mexi]

Would be fun

Didn't Steph miss the first round last year?

KD Klay Draymond

How good is this trio? Would be considered the best big 3 in the league, yea?

Im actually going to say no

"I would vote for me," James told the Associated Press' Tim Reynolds on Tuesday. "The body of work, how I'm doing it, what's been happening with our team all year long, how we've got so many injuries and things of that nature, guys in and out, to be able to still keep this thing afloat, I definitely would vote me."


This fucking guy lmaoooo

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Who you got

Hard to say. I guess theres not that many big 3s anymore now that I think about it. I just feel like so much of Draymonds success in their offense is dependent on playing downhill because of Steph getting trapped on P&Rs. Weve seen how much worse the team is offensively without him.

there really isnt any trios right now. id probably say these three are the best just because of the lack of competition for them but i agree about dray

 

[Paulius]

But we still agree KD led warriors be the favorites right?

Absolutely not. Id definitely favor Houston if Steph was out.

Serious question here: how can you favor the rockets with harden and cp3s postseason track record, but still meme about toronto likely choking their way out of a finals appearance?

Favoring a team over a team missing the most important player in the conference? For a parallel argument, take LeBron off the cavs for the playoffs and yeah, Ill favor the raptors.

Chris Paul’s track record in the playoffs is incredible, he has a few high profile blow ups (mainly that one against OKC) but other than that he’s always been amazing in the playoffs

He's talking about team performance, where Paul's track record is laughable.

lol take lebron off cleveland and id favor a bunch of teams over the cavs

but yea i got u... id say the warriors can (not necessarily will, but can) definitely still beat the rockets without steph tho

Which isn’t exactly fair as Paul has never played on a team this good, or a team that should have even made the finals. None of those losses have ever really been at the fault of Paul and the Clips have had more than their fair share of unfortunate injuries

There were plenty of series where they were favored from the get go, and also plenty of series where they took a lead and blew it.

How many times were they favoured from the start and lost? How many times have they had a playoff run derailed by injuries to Chris or Blake?

The last two they were favored and lost. Injuries to Blake in both. 2016 I can excuse because Chris AND blake got hurt. I cant excuse last year though. They shouldve won that series even without Blake.

2015 they didnt have home court against the rockets, but I think they may have still been a Vegas favorite. I cant remember. Regardless, that was an all-time choke.

You mean the series where Chris was playing with a bum hamstring that caused him to miss the first two games of the series? He still put up 21-10 (26-10 in game 7) he also hit the series clinching shot in game 7 vs the Spurs with a bad hamstring. And Jamal Crawford in that series was particularly atrocious. In their 4 losses he was 6-22 for 19 points, 2-10 for 5 points, 4-13 for 9 points and 6-18 for 17 points. So yea they blew it, but I don’t think it’s fair to put that completely on Chris
 
The Jazz last year were a damn good team so I don’t think losing to them in 7 without their second best player for 5 of those should be criticized.
