Re: General NBA Discussion Thread
What's weird is that his killer instincts are fading away lol Mama no more, he was smiling when he got a shot in as if in relief he actually made a shot.
Its really sad but at the same time it makes me feel old, grew up watching these guys and I can remember that afro young Kobe flying through the air.

To be fair, even I didn't expect him to be this bad. One of the greatest players to ever lace them up looks completely done with the game of basketball, physically moreso than anything, that's with taking a large chunk of the past two seasons off for rehabbing injuries.

Warriors/Jazz coming down to the wire

Re: General NBA Discussion Thread
Jazz are good defensive team. They have good discipline and don't allow anything easy in the paint.
That might be the key to stopping Warriors. Play them tight on the perimeter and force them to make tough buckets in the paint against their bigs.

Curry trying to be too fancy with his finishes in transition today. Second time he got nothing. Luckily Green was there trailing to clean up the play.

Re: General NBA Discussion Thread
I want the Jazz to win so badly holy hell but Burks may have just costed them the game with that turnover. It's amazing that the Jazz have Exum out due to injury and Lyles sitting on their bench, and yet, they are this talented.

Curry has lower eFG% less than 5ft than 25-29 feet. Crazy stat but he is shooting lights out from 3point line. You have to crowd him and force him to finish at the paint.

Re: General NBA Discussion Thread
Why did Hood shoot a 3 with 8 seconds left on the clock? They should have held for the final shot!

I thought that was a clean look. No guarantee they would've got a better shot.

Re: General NBA Discussion Thread
PG13 has been the best player in the league, the last 2 weeks, Pacers have been on fire:
They will stop that deadly marksman (curry) and his bunch on Tuesday 8th! and you CAN TAKE IT TO THE BANK(unless the Raps stop them first)

Nah, you should never hold for the final shot when down 1 (or 2). Math doesn't check out.
