Better positioning


also 7'1" and hard to move. Outweighs those guys by 30-40lbs. Just has to wade on in there and reach up.

Being big and tall is nice

I hope the Warriors can get tonight’s game and the series certainly isn’t over even if they do.

Well this is common sense , nobody is gonna come back from down 3-1 to beat GS.

If it goes 2-2 then Toronto has 2/3 at home. But still, warriors are clear favourites for a good reason

How long is Looney out for?

That's when Nurse imo lost the game. He had to make an adjustment and he was too slow. It wasnt just missed shots, its was a lack of rhythm and some guys mentally checked out (Gasol)

More about Warriors defense so not entirely on Nurse. Raps failed to make those open shots in the third and that doomed them to this blowout...

Watching Lowry is like diet Harden sometimes. He sure is good at getting those calls.

Underrated signing. He's only 34 and the only thing that has plagued him is injuries. He seems healthy and is super experienced. I wouldn't go so far to say he neutralizes the Gasol trade, but..

Bogut and Cook have been great for the Dubs. Arguably the difference in the game along with Cousins.

Dude's one of the basketball genius' of the league.

Kyrie ruined that claim. Bogut is brilliant though.

Every team needs to learn how to play Rocket ball if the refs keep rewarding Rocket ball. Klay kicking his legs out is not something he has been doing for years. Curry stopping short to get guys to climb his back is not something Curry has done much over the years.

I have been surprised more guys don't get hurt flopping or putting their body's in strange positions to draw fouls. Like Van Gundy said the refs should no-call the foul seeking.

Can they just play basketball? So much stoppage.
In '03-'04, Jerry Sloan coached the ESPN predicted "worst team of all time" to 42-40.
