WCF Game 1: GSW vs DAL

[GQ Hot Dog]

Is Luka playing hurt? He normally just goes right at guys and dares them to stop him without fouling. Tonight he is shying away.

I think he's seeing bodies in the paint, which is deterring him from backing down. He's been working from much further out tonight than he has been in the phx series

Wiggins is the difference. Don't nobody try to tell me Mikal Bridges is a better on ball defender. Ridiculous.

I know they got a big lead but Poole trying to do too much right now.

Damn, when is the last time Steph hasn't played a 4th quarter in the playoffs?

He was grabbing his right shoulder earlier, might be something there.

Dallas is not nearly as physical as Memphis and it makes all the difference. This series will have a much different feel than the prior. Mavs going to have to outscore us and I don't see that happening.

How long before we hear result doesn’t count because Luka was hurt?

Screw every title having an asterisk

Every game has an asterisk

Here comes JTA to dominate garbage time with his godawful play

[Coxy]

If people can't see that we raped and plundered the Wolves in the Wiggins for D-Lo trade by now, they must have been abducted by aliens and probes were done.

[Onus]

JTA is such a bad garbage time player geez

[and1GS]

JTA's body literally rejects the basketball. He's not physically able to play at an NBA level anymore.

Its his brain.. he thinks this time is for his development

Man I was firebombed out of a Reddit thread where many posters said it was a clearly even trade. We got the 2 best players in the trade!

D Lo was great comic relief in the first round though. So they still got that.

I see a lot of differences in our defense and the Sun's. The Sun's it seemed like Luka just posted up the Sun's perimeter guys all series, just backing Paul and Booker down over and over for these little 5 foot shots over the top.

Klay, Wiggins, and Looney who has gotten a lot of switches on Doncic have absolutely not allowed Doncic to just back them down. It seems like when Curry has gotten on Doncic they've immediately went into a zone defense and gotten Steph off him immediately. Really impressive stuff.

DFS and Bullock were excellent on Booker and Paul, they are both way longer and the Sun's guards couldn't shoot over the top. Steph and Klay haven't played amazing but because they play so heavily off ball it negates long defenders to an extent.

Was personally never convinced Booker-Paul were going to outshoot us.

Isn't he like 29

Yup that grizzlies defense is so much better against us because of their physicality and athleticism.

[FNQ]

Everytime I see Moody play in garbage time, especially on D, I cant help but think he should get the minutes over Lee next game

[GQ Hot Dog]

Nice to see the garbage time players come in to pad our turnover stats.

[and1GS]

JTA might actually lose us the game running the point LOL

[jaymo123]

Damn, these players are garbage. How in the hell we in the WCF?
