General Playoff Thread: The Long 2nd Season

[Ale Xander]

Go small or go home

Warriors best lineup is with Barnes Iggy and green in front court

 

[Deathofthebambino]

I've been saying it since game one, but the refs swallowing their whistles hurts Cleveland far, far more than it hurts Golden State. Golden State has the ability to take advantage of the sloppiness that results in loose balls and guys out of position after missed foul calls, and they turn those moments into 3's more often than not. They have no ability to rebound with Cleveland except if they are allowed to go over the back, reach in and poke at the ball, etc. And Cleveland goes to the rim constantly. Much easier to defend the drives when you can hack at will.

What the hell is Varejao doing out there

 

[shawnrbu]

Sideshow Bob putting in a dubious shift. Sit him, Kerr, and go small.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Jesus, what does Kevin Love do well?

 

[johnmd20]

Love's FT's there were abysmal.

 

[shawnrbu]

Kevin Love is broken.

 

[BigSoxFan]

LOL - Love is such a loser

 

[Green (Tongued) Monster]

Is he still on Cleveland's payroll?

 

[Ale Xander]

That's still a foul

 

[johnmd20]

Refs calling nothing, then AV flops like a pancake and it's called.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Van Gundy is out of his mind.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Some sweet justice for Cavs fans having to deal with his flops.

 

[Ale Xander]

Get Barnes in there

No one else can rebound

 

[Ed Hillel]

Um, elbow???

 

[BigSoxFan]

Clearly out on Iggy

 

[johnmd20]

wow, that was a comically bad call. What is the ref looking at?

 

[ifmanis5]

Why can't they review that?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

These refs are a joke. The NBA. Got to love it.

 

[Apisith]

Sometimes I don't know what these refs see.

 

[redsoxcentury]

refs are just missing everything

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

Terrible. Clearly out on Iggy.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Missed a blatant elbow on LeBron, which could have been a flagranf, then miss an obvious call the other way.

 

[eddiew112]

Refs in midseason form tonight

 

[Ed Hillel]

lol Varejao. What a goofy.

 

[Devizier]

I am still laughing at that Kevin Love tackle.

 

[Ale Xander]

VJ playing well

 

[johnmd20]

GS getting every offensive board now.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Golden State getting every bounce off the rim. Every long rebound going right to the one guy they have left to rebound.

 

[Ale Xander]

23 trying to be 23

 

[johnmd20]

Green gets grazed, doesn't react. Until he lands and then acts like Ali punched him.

 

[eddiew112]

Take a fucking bow Draymond. What a pass

 

[Ed Hillel]

Varejao! Wow!

 

[ifmanis5]

Lue should have sat Love awhile ago.

 

[luckiestman]

Green gets grazed, doesn't react. Until he lands and then acts like Ali punched him.

Phantom punch

 

[riboflav]

POSSESSION SAVER

 

[Ed Hillel]

"Got a great look at it."

Ok, Breeny.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Whoa, Jonah Hill is massive now.

 

[Tangled Up In Red]

"Got a great look at it."

Ok, Breeny.

Yeah, I got a chuckle.
Leaner from 30 with a man draped on you.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Whoa, Jonah Hill is massive now.

I feel like he's going to be the next Farley. He was skinny just a few movies ago!

 

[Ale Xander]

Barnes!!!

 

[ifmanis5]

Love likes to come out and double team but he never recovers back to the basket.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Really with that pass? lol

 

[BigSoxFan]

Shumpert is such a dumb player

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Iggy looking like last year's Finals MVP.

 

[tbrep]

I still think CLE had a shot against OKC. What kills them is GS's ball movement since they have such ill discipline on rotations and switches.

 

[Devizier]

How Livingston doesn't shoot 90% against Kyrie Irving, I don't know.

 

[Grin&MartyBarret]

Iguodala is so fucking good.

 

[johnmd20]

Tristan can't hit a FT.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hack a Tristan may be a solid strategy at some point moving forward. Try to get him off the floor.
