AD is really starting to boss Green's offensive attempts. But KD is just a thing of beauty. Unstoppable

Yep, assbeating. I'm hoping Houston gets by the Jazz in 5, both teams come in strong and confident. Still clear favorite would be the Warriors but maybe it'd be a good series.

I don't want to hear NOP complaining about calls. They've got to the stripe tonight and are woefully missing.

Looks like Curry's first game back was adrenaline. He'll have to play himself back to prime shooting form. Wouldn't shock me if he puts on a clinic back at Oracle once the Dubs close this one out

Pelicans shooting 38% from the floor at home, great D from the Warriors. Davis has had a series to forget so far, they needed him to go off and have consistent contributions from the rest of the guys to make this a battle.

That was cake, really bad showing from NO in a must-win game. Now let's see if Houston can put away the Jazz.

KS..you dont fancy KD, Draymond ,EagleDollar and da Splash brothers
Love KD. Da splash bros are cool but they wouldn't own any rings w/o Eagle $ (I did coin his nickname here) :dance3:. I will gladly take a pass on Green though. A bit overrated to me and needs to take a chill pill most nights.

Green is nuts but if anything he's underrated IMO. He is the stopper and the occasional offense helps too. Splash bros, mainly Chef Curry are too good not to have rings. They got lucky in 2015 and unlucky the next year. I expect they'll be getting their 3rd rings this year. The mega Cyborg can't beat that machine by himself.

Do they keep that type of stat online somewhere? Not doubting your memory, just wondering for the present times. I am shocked that it was that bad, they were the young and exciting group that first year they made the playoffs, kind of the talk of the NBA even though everyone knew they weren't true contenders yet. I didn't remember them playing that much ISO ball. Curry in college and his first couple years in the league was kind of a one-man band, that'd be a factor in that too. He was used to playing hero ball.

Oh yeah, NBA.com has all sorts of advanced stats. You can find almost literally anything you can think of. Legitimately the most detailed things you can think of (a player's % on catch and shoot open threes for example).

A series like this shows why Durant on the Warriors is almost unfair. It's not that he's their most important player (he's not), but it's that their most important player could stink it up coming off an injury and they still blow out a team in the conference semis b/c Kevin Durant is that good.

Re: Draymond, he's great for the Warriors. Like, absolutely perfect. They're not the same team without him, and I'm sure any team would love to have him. He's great defensively, and a great playmaker. However, I tend to think that despite all of that, he can get a little overrated. The reason is, say Draymond is your best player...does your team make the playoffs? It's honestly doubtful. Draymond is a glue-guy, but he's like, the best possible glue-guy someone could ask for.

Here come da Jazz..they gonna win this game

They ain't ready. At least we will get the series we all wanted to see. All conference semis were a joke, figured the East would be competitive at the very least.

Yes I meant that Draymond is an underrated part of the Warriors. If he was the 2nd best player on most teams that wouldn't be a good thing because in today's NBA you need at least 2 very good scorers to be competitive with the exception of whatever team LeBron is on.

Olajuwon looks like a grandpa. Doesn't seem that long ago seeing him win a couple with Clyde, the alien Sam Cassel, big shot Robert Horry, Mario Elie and Kenny Smith...time flies
