What's up with Jordan Bell constantly losing the ball during wide open dunks, offensive rebounds?

[Kilmonger]

Because Green didn’t foul him and Bell was an established defender who used the principle of verticality to avoid a foul from a smaller player who jumped from within the lane toward said established and taller defender?

Clearly gets hit across the arm...gsw fans so blinded

It's like when Celtics fans never admitted for one second that KG was setting so many illegal screens and was getting away with it but would scream if the other team dare get even ONE in their favor.

"My team can do no wrong" syndrome.

[fanofthegreats]

That’s their identity, and a lot of the shots were good. Again, your ignoring the clear fact that the refs played a huge hand in shifting momentum during the most important stretch of the game. Do you deny this? Or continue focusing on Houston going cold?

The refs certainly had a hand in shifting momentum, but you aren't going to win many games jacking threes and refusing to get anything going in the paint. I can't blame that fact on the refs. What happened to running plays for easy buckets to re-establish rhythm? That's something that's taught in little league ball.

Possibly, at this point it is what it is. Refs shifted momentum, Hou couldn’t overcome it. Leets agree to disagree man.

You mean after the shot had been blocked by Draymond which makes Gordon a non shooter and just fighting for a 50/50 ball at that point?

It's okay bro. Go enjoy your win in peace.

Thanos is my name, a not so unusual greek name .
Why a lot of people call here Lebron, Thanos?

This is the most wholesome and hilarious post I’ve read on here

i did google about it when i saw it first time ,(but i was really like : wtf why they call him thanos) but i always wanted to make the joke.

Basically in the movie he's this nearly unstoppable force that give every super hero a ton of trouble. People enjoy comparing Lebrons's run to his in the movies.

Once and for all, I don't want to see anyone talk about the '80s anymore.

Magic and Bird both arrived to their respective teams in the beginning of the decade, didn't meet in the Finals until four years had passed, and faced each other three times in the whole decade.

LeBron and the Warriors' rise to power both occurred in the same year—just like Magic and Bird's arrival did, and since then, they've faced either other in the Finals 100% of the time, in every one of the four years since then.

It's not remotely comparable.

It was still a rivalry...Why so mad? And Magic won a title in his rookie year...Bird in his second...

I have never seeen a team brick so many OPEN SHOTS.

Already done enjoying that win. Looking forward to the Finals.

That IS the arrogance. They come out in huge games like its a preseason game and throw lazy ass passes and shots around because they dont take the idea of losing seriously. Thats textbook arrogance.

Arrogance is thinking higher of oneself than is warranted.

They didn't have to take the idea of losing seriously because no one's beaten them yet.

Until someone actually does something about it, they don't have to take the idea of losing seriously.

This.

All champion level teams are like this. Lebron's heat, the Bulls, the Lakers, even the Spurs had a quiet arrogance about them. I mean the Celtics in 2010 took the entire second half of the season off.

I've seen the Bulls, Heat, Celtics, Lakers, and Spurs all play with desperation in high stakes situation. Desperation, urgency, and scary intensity.

I've never seen GS play that way.

If that doesn't bother anyone, thats fine. I'm not saying it should. I'm just saying it bothers ME, and makes me think they're arrogant.

[Desiderium]

Usually, harden does a really good job of selling the foul on the 3 point attempt and 90% of the time, the refs buy it.
Tonight however in the 3rd quarter, the two times he actually got fouled shooting the 3, the refs didn't call it. I guess karma?

[CeraVe]

if it wasn't for Warriors "other" 3 all stars, Draymond would be forced to shoot more and have a John Starks and Rozier type of game..

Exactly, without ATG shooting everywhere Draymond would have to create more. This is why a Derozan, George, or Lillard is more valuable because they can create offense. Draymond's defense isn't even anchor like, he can't block shots or be every where on the court......

That's exactly what I thought for years yet people put him right up there with Rodman, KG and the Wallaces defensively. And ignore 3-4 other all defensive level defensive players on his team who get little to no credit in terms of all defensive teams. KD, Klay, Iguodala and Bogut.
It's possible to dominant and make the HOF with defense and rebounding alone like Mutumbo and Rodman but Draymond isn't close to those guys. When he has these high turnover and poor shooting games, it takes a unreal shooting game from Curry, KD, Klay to win the game.

Game 7 is just different. The pressure just crushes most shooters.

GS just did that in game 6 and 7.

I'm not, so it's an insipid, unoriginal response. I'm replying to the posted tweet, posting matter-of-factly, specifically addressing a comparison that's been made on this sub-forum, which is relevant to the posted tweet. Nothing more, nothing less.

Houston lives by 3, die by the 3. No one to blame but themselves for jacking up 3s when they can't make them.

Putting Ryan Anderson in did to Houston what Kerr putting Ezeli in did to GS in game 7 2016.

Completey **** them.

Most tragic and fatal substitution I've seen this playoffs, next to putting CJ Miles (a guard) on Kevin Love for 6 straight minutes and letting him feast.
