It's the primary reason why they wont get past GS. now if Harden is lethal the entire season, maybe then.

Yeah, I still think GS wins pretty handily. Much easier to guard iso teams than it is teams that move the ball like the Warriors do. You can stick Klay and Iggy on him and not have to worry, and they have guys that can switch onto him and hold their own as well. Houston doesn't get the ball moving from side to side so the defense can just stay in their spots. GSW, on the other hand, is beauty visualized on the court.

2 days ago you were acting like it wasn't close. I know that because I kept arguing that it was debatable, and you kept saying that it wasn't debatable and that I was only saying it because of BAF.

Paul George had 24 PPG/.408 fg%/Oladipo had 21 PPG/.406 fg%, 2.3 SPG.

He plays a huge number of minutes. Obviously it can be an issue, but I don't think we really need to talk about it..?

Someone needs to tell Exum to slow down. I don't know if it's nervousness, but you could definitely tell his heart rate is high.

i never said anything about baf. it was you. you said i was hating on oladipo cause he's "not one of my guys" :-?
im going to say it again for you. i dont care if hes on your team or not. i call it how it is. if it makes you feel better, i think oladipo is one of the best players of 25 years and under in this league.
