eball Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 You'd think they'd be protesting the name as too violent, and insisting it be changed to the "Golden State Fluffy Bunnies" or something. Reminds me of the old Leno joke about the Washington Bullets. Fans thought the name was too violent, so they wanted the team to simply be called the Bullets.

The Poojer Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 no i don't, i think now that they clenched they will focus on the playoffs, no sense getting the record and not be fully rested for the playoff run...pretty sure, SA will throw everything at them if they do try and you really don't need a dog fight at this point of the season, save that for the conf finals.

ExiledInIllinois Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) So you're saying the Warriors aren't a great team? No. What I meant is maybe not as great as the 1990's Bulls. I really hope they can prove to be as great. Sorry, that is what I was thinking... I Just assumed it was understood... How can the GS Warriors not be a great team... Just not as great as the Bulls... EDIT: They are great, just at this level, the bar is extremely set high. Two teams only come to my mind... 1960's Celtics, 1990's Bulls.. Then there are the lesser gr8 teams.

Neither has ever played without a great team around them. I'd have to go with Curry over Leonard. I think Leonard is a more complete player, but Curry is such an outstanding scorer that you have to take him. They should just dismantle the east. Okc/Spurs.

Hate to see Spurs or OKC get axed while the Lebrons play creampuffs The LeBrons have done their all they can do, sweeping both series. They're still one of the top 2 teams in the league. I'm hoping it's a rematch of last year. LeBron kept the LeBrons in it all by himself last year. It'll be a lot more even this year.

Spurs and GS are the only teams on their level. Any team with LeBron and even 1 other star (they have 2) is going to be a top team. I hope Whiteside or Valanciunas are back for the next series, whichever team makes it through. It was the Pistons they beat in round 1. Also, let's not act like the Warriors haven't had it easier than the Cavs. The Rockets were the worst team in the playoffs. The Hawks and the Trailblazers are about even, though I think the Hawks are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I hear ya, though I have thought OKC is a tier below those three. They could prove me wrong though shortly. OKC is good when Durant and Westbrook share the ball with the rest of their teammates. I think they could compete with GS if they didn't dribble the air out of the ball in most games. Cleveland is playing well right now but I think they are at best tied for 3rd in the power rankings with OKC. They have similar problems with falling in love with dribbling, Lebron has always been a great front runner lets see how big those smiles are when they are in a dogfight.

I'd put the Cavs at either 1 or 2. They have the best player in the game and some good pieces around him. The Warriors have the best shooter ever with even more pieces around him. Hell, Iggy was a 6th man last year and won Finals MVP. The LeBron fan in me wants to see Cavs-OKC in the Finals. The basketball fan wants to see Cavs-Warriors.

dpberr Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 OKC is the most physical team in the playoffs and that matters. Should the Spurs fall, I wouldn't be surprised to see them beat GSW. They just beat you to death and GSW, like the Spurs, aren't used to getting bludgeoned like that. OKC changed their tactics after the Game 1 blowout to SA and it's been different ever since. I don't think Cleveland stands a chance against either SA, OKC or GSW. They have played creampuff teams in the playoffs and that provides this appearance of consistent 3 point shooting that against a real defense - isn't there. As a long time Spurs fan, while I expect this series to go to a brutal Game 7, I admit the Spurs got real old in this playoff round. Tim and Manu are completely done and Tony and David West really aren't all that far behind realistically. The last great hurrah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
