Around the NBA - the sharp end of the playoffs - Randle snubbed for All NBA

[HarthorneWingo]

FU Poole. Great shot.

[duetta]

Warriors are entertaining.

[DaGawd]

Had a feeling this would be a terrible wcf

[HarthorneWingo]

Dallas has no one in the paint to protect the rim. They could use Nerlens.

[thebuzzardman]

Mavs would be winning if they let Frank play 48 minutes

[LookToShoot]

Mavs won't win with that James Harden, Houston era "offense".

They're in the wcf - they're doing just fine

So was James Harden. Warriors in 5.

[thebuzzardman]

Frank with teh clank

[thebuzzardman]

Poole > RJ etc etc etc. Figured I'd save everyone some keystrokes.

[Worst_to_First]

As much as I slandered Luka I am really hoping that the Mavs are just playing possum and Kidd adjusts sooner rather than latter. Want this WCF to be more entertaining.

[robillionaire]

The Mavs came back from 0-2 in the last series so I’m not going to count them out especially not after 1 game. But I’m glad they got whupped.

Keep the fan fiction coming gadfly, I'm bored af and not about to head to the fcking draft thread to talk about tyty or some other draft prospect who I can't be bothered
to watch their 3 min highlight video

[3toheadmelo]

Team warriors up big.

Melo eating good tonight.

I am cursed

Yep!!!

[KnixtapeH20]

Like I been telling u warriors gona walk thru everyone.

Mavs might win 1 and even if they somehow win 2 makes no difference in the outcome.

Warriors in 5

You can’t rush artistic greatness bro.

This is my plan:
Root for Warriors to win. This will set a chain of events that will lead the Knicks to victory.

Mark Cuban gets desperate. He knows his team needs an upgrade? But where? How? Mark Cuban flips open his guidebook to the 1st page: Acquire as many ex-Knicks as he can. He picks up his phone and calls the Knicks GM, Scott Perry.

We need to send in a bunch of Knicks RealGMers to stop Scott Perry from effin our plan up. But who do we send? Jimmit wants to go but we leave him behind cause he keeps yelping "5/181" and there's a noticeable scar on his face from when a young RJ gave him a frontal wedgie that was so brutal, it left a trauma that Jimmit could never forget. GreenArrow wants to go too, but he keeps yelping like a teenage princess and it's really hard to get him to commit to a plan!!!!!! Plus, the guy keeps wearing flip-flops, and we all know flip-flops are not conducive to an operation like this. That BnO guy wants to come but everyone knows he's a front office shill and probably paying James Dolan for the privilege of brown-nosing. Eventually, we get an ace team...our operation to cut Scott Perry's phone line is a go!

Cuban picks up the phone..."I need Randle" he whispers and moans, "I want Burks, I want Elfrid, I want to see them play with Luka." It's very disturbing how he moans, and even Macri, Elfrid's biggest fan, is weirded out.

All of a sudden, Melo bursts into the room clutching his iso-Melo blankie and underpants......"NOT MY RANDLE!" The Knicks team is beside themselves...this melo guy is selfishly going to stop the team from winning (a familiar sentence to millions of Knicks fans). A desperate decision is made. The prisoner is released. "69 69 69 69 69" the Dick Grayson monster roars out of his cage, rushes melo, and the two disappear into the abyss where NYK Mentality awaits with a stupid grin.

The remaining Knicks fans of RealGM just shake their head and shudder. It can be hard being a Knicks fan, but every time one of them is tempted to give up, they remember that they could have been born New Jersey Nets fans.

...yah I had no idea where I was going with this post. Go Warriors.

This is an important point in this series.

Say what you will about his pathetic rebounding, but Jaren Jackson Jr. (and overall the Grizz defense) made scoring inside very difficult for the Warriors. They shot poorly in the paint in half court sets largely due to the Jackson. The Warriors had to rely on jacking a lot of 3s and getting offensive rebounds (and that's where Jackson sucked).

And the Warriors turned it over a lot vs. the Grizz in large part because they tried sneaking/forcing a lot of passes in tight spaces for easy baskets because knew how hard it was to score against them in a regular set.

The Mavs are good fundamentally on D, but they don't have the same kind of paint protection as the Grizz.

Why not four?

There aren’t many adjustments to be made. They have no answers on paper or on the court.

Tbh I had no idea Ws would be able to defend this well
