NBA: 2022 NBA Playoffs

[JP4CY]

Of course I forget the finals takes a 1 game break between game 3 and 4. Didn't even realize there was a game tonight.

Worth catching a replay.

Didn’t think GS could pull it off after the watching 3.5 quarters. Got a series again.

Boston went ice cold at the end there. Got good looks, just couldn't hit any of them. Surprised they got away from the interior game. Even with Looney in there I still think they could have success.

Whoever wins game 5 wins the title.

I went to bed late in the 4th with GS down 5. Apparently I missed the best part of the game.

Lot harder for Boston to throw their cross court one handed skip passed when GS actually had hands up in passing lanes and forced the dribble left. Kept them in the game early for Steph to do his thing late.

See if Boston has an adjustment for it next week. The counter moves in this series have been fantastic.

Good perspective. I can see that.

I know what you guys mean, but you don't lead the league in team defense without some effort.

Charles Barkley is roughly 40x the player draymond is

Barkley would kick his ass up and down the court.

Yeah Draymond does contribute but I think he's kind of overrated because of some rings and his trash talk. Everytime I watch the Warriors he's almost a non factor on offense.

I don't think GS even tries 60% of the time on defense, they just buckle down when they need to. They are just betting you won't make every shot, if you miss, they run, when they run, they score. They built their dynasty on it.

And yet their previous title winning teams were all terrific defensive teams so no I don’t think they built their dynasty on not trying on defense 60% of the time.

It’s crazy now to think back to 2016 in Game 7 Draymond had like 33 points and hit five threes and carried the Warriors offensively for long periods of time.

Yeah I have no stats to back it up it just seems like he is a non factor when I watch Warriors games this year.

Yeah I have no stats to back it up it just seems like he is a non factor when I watch Warriors games this year.

He’s never been a huge point contributor this year overall. But he is always consistent with solid assists and boards.

For the whole season:

7 ppg
7 rpg
7 apg

You put the round mound of rebound on the team instead of draymond and they run away from everyone and chuck gets his rings.

At this point Draymond is more focused on being the NBA's version of a pro wrestling heel than he is in being a consistent contributor for the Warriors.

At this point Draymond is a meme. Charles Barkley had antics, but he would have never been considered a meme in his heyday.

Who you have in Game 5? Boston hasn't lost two in a row in the postseason...neither has Golden State (not that it matters since they won Game 4 but still noteworthy).

Whoever wins tonight I think wins the title. Can't wait.

Prediction:

Golden State: 109
Boston: 106

 

[Bigman38]

GS wins tonight and Boston wins the series

 

[JP4CY]

7 min in and Looney with 3 fouls.

 

[heitclone]

I feel like if Boston wins, GS might still win the next two but if GS wins tonight, I think its over.
