General Playoff Thread: The Long 2nd Season

Houston can win this game. Guy who has stepped up in Steph's absence:Iguadala. Guy who hasn't: Harrison Barnes.
JB Bickerstaff looks like a guy being asked to pilot a jet with only one real wing, no real engine and a flawed design upfront.
Big game for Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala and Livingston as well as the Warriors bigs. However, their undisputed MVP tonight was Draymond Green. He was a beast defensively, was a monster on the boards and distributed the ball with authority. The guy is just a complete basketball player.
As a fan of basketball/NBA (and of course, the Dubs), I hope we see lots of Draymond clones growing up. He's Bird in different hue. A man who can play the game from anywhere, in any way. So much better for league than another batch of specialists.
Edit: Bird hyperbole, but the point stands.

Steve, you want to change your mind about playing Curry? No, I know. I do get tired of local Bay Area sports talk guys saying things like the Warriors can play the last 5 guys on the bench and beat Houston.
Oh hey Draymond acted like a child again what a shock:
It's frustrating that someone so good is such a fucking clown.

Um, I take that as a "trying to foul" thing. Once the ball was in bounds, that was their only hope?
If it was, which I don't think it was, then he's a complete moron. It's away from the ball in the last two minutes which would be 2 shots and the ball.
I don't think it was though, it was just another case of him losing control of his emotions and acting petulant. He tried to guard Beasley who was the logical target, Beasley clamped the arm to try and get a call so he swung him around and down because he was frustrated that he had just blown the only chance to win the game.
I just don't think that's a good example of losing control of his emotions. As you say, Beasley clamped on his arm. I mean...I can see it both ways, but this one isn't enough for me.
Yeah arms tangled for two seconds and they scuffle a bit. About as big as nothing-to-see-here as can be.
The entire scuffle lasted about 2.5 seconds and they each walked away without anyone else involved. Not exactly Ali-Frazier.
Fun last 2 minute report. 5 missed/bad calls. Biggest was that the game winning shot was an offensive foul (never every getting called in game), and Green has been assessed a Flagrant 1 by the league for the last play.
Spurs did not mess around with the Grizz. 4 game sweep with an average margin of victory of 22 points per game. They can take a week off before the inevitable 2nd Round matchup with OKC.
That could be bad for Curry.
Would really be a kick to the gut for a sweat spot on the floor to be the cause for an injury to the game's most exciting player.

He may be a (whatever you want to call him) but he's our whatever you want to call him. Spoken as a Celtics/Warriors fan. Go Celtics!
Why is there a sculpture of a giant fist outside the Palace? Is it a political statement about what America has done to Detroit?
I'm guessing there will be quite a lot of turnover on this squad this summer. Michael Beasley's resurgence has been pretty remarkable.
The Joe Louis fist? That's downtown, not sure if there's a replica at the Palace too.
Curry out at least two weeks, will be reevaluated then. I don't have a link, I saw the headline on CNBC.
