warriors @ heat 1/2/14 - 7:30pm est

im glad i couldnt watch this game. but in my mind just from looking at the stats and some games ive seen this season, golden state is just another version of portland

sniper pg with handles and sub par defense - advantage Curry
long athletic wing with great defense and occasional scoring runs - advantage Batum
another 3pt specialist wing with solid defense - advantage Wes Matthews
scoring PF with solid to great rebounding - advantage Aldridge
big goofy center that can get blocks and rebounds - advantage Bogut

weak bench - golden state does have barnes though

on paper portland and GS are very similar. they shoot a lot of threes. when they get hot they are one of the hardest teams to beat in the nba but just like portland i see them getting bounced by SAS, OKC or LAC. you just cant sustain that level of shooting in this league through a entire post season. granted they have this one caveat in curry who is a heck of a bomber. dont give me no "but GS made the WCF last year", had okc not lost westbrook it wouldve been a different story.

Lee 32 points was what made us lose not the shooting barrage.

Exactly !

The guy who can barely jump over a double cheeseburger looked like Wilt Chamberlain against us...SMH

We were within 4 points with 3 mins playing people.
Calm down.

GS shot the lights out of the rock and played a great floor game. The HEAT weren't sharp and it was a regular season game. If this was a playoff game, we would of put LeBron on Curry and changed the game on them. But it isn't and I'm ok outcome.

A team like GS requires maximum effort on defense. Effort we wont see until the playoffs. Also, they couldnt miss and we missed like 10 gimmies...i'm ready for tomorrow night.

After calming down from my ridiculous reaction to one game in the regular season. It was probably an anomaly there offense was so good and our defense didn't care sadly this is probably the kind of defense we will see all regular season, please playoffs get here soon.

It's true though, Lee can't **** jump high, it's not like he's super athletic, but got 32 and 14. Bosh should be ashamed. I guess his streak of good games had to end, but let's hope he starts another and realizes he let some guy go off on him again.

The Warriors beat the Hawks by one point with a 6/27 at 3 SMH
