    Read a stat the other day that Joe Johnson is 50th in career scoring. That doesn't seem possible.

    I disagree. There is no team in the East that is going to beat the Cavs in a 7 game series. No team.

    Our problem is that we don't have a team built to beat GS in a 7 game series. I hope Lue is developing some sort of scheme to take them out because otherwise I'm thinking about next season already.

    I didn't say they'd beat the Cavs or even be a scary draw for them in particular. I agree they nor anyone else in the east will beat Cleveland. The eastern conference playoffs are going to be pretty sweet this year, though. Boston and Charlotte have come out of nowhere.

    Never say that. Everyone thought this the year Detroit was beaten by Lebron and Cleveland when it seemed like a given

    1. No they didn't, considering the fact the cavs took them to game 7 the year before. You were probably about 7 years old, so I can understand why you wouldn't recall that.

    2. You need to get out more and broaden your life experiences. You don't need to relate everything to Detroit.

Either the team will have to implode, which it sounded like Green was kind of doing tonight and it didn't matter. Or Curry will have to majorly cool off.

    Also, I'm completely unimpressed with OKC. They choked big time tonight.
    The only way that I see GS not repeating is if Curry gets hurt and is out. I don't see them cooling down and they seem fresh. I think Steph is actually playing less minutes per game than Lebron. They have that selfless "team" concept down to a science.

    The only area where they seem to be slipping (a little) is on the defensive end but I think they have the "fuck it, we'll just outscore you" mentality.

    As long as Lebron James is healthy, there isn't a team in the East that can beat them.

    This isn't a debate. That is reality.

    Classy really thought people overlooked LeBron James in his 4th freaking year...???

    Jesus.

    Thunder lose their 9th game that they led in the 4th, only the Sixers have more

    Went to bed when they were up 20 at halftime. Not going to get easier - they're back at GSW tonight.
  • friendfromlowry
    Just seems like Westbrook takes so many bad shots
  • friendfromlowry
    I fucking hate watching the Thunder. Westbrook and Durant are obviously elite and even Ibaka is decent. The rest of the team is complete garbage.
  • Azubuike24
    I actually think Kanter and Adams are both decent players.

    It's hard for anyone else to do anything else consistent with the way Westbrook and Durant play.

    Without Durant last year Kanter was having a lot of good games. I think they need a shooter and get Ibaka underneath more.

    Lillard goes for 50 in a two point loss to the Raptors.

    Giannis at point guard has been very good to Milwaukee. 27/9/12 tonight. A board away from his 3rd triple-double since the all star break.

    I still can't get over the size of his hands lol. ESPN had it copied on their large magazine page and it's just silly.

    It's nice out so I won't be watching much if any of the obvious GS comeback highlighted by Curry hitting some big buckets and GS getting a lot of big calls.
  • friendfromlowry
    Couldn't tell if Thompson tapped ball out of Clarkson's hands but that'd be about the only defense of an otherwise awful blown call.
