He was better than Draymond for most of Memphis series and now been way better against Dallas

Hmm they were able to handle Ayton though

Suns don't have good penetrators nor do they move the ball very much.

Luka has been completely invisible in the 2nd half of both games now

Nah both of them. Luka starts randomly attacking now in the 4th when Warriors are up 10 and in firm control with it already wrapped up. He did nothing in the 3rd and when he came back in 4th took a few mins to do anything too

They're scoring fine either way, their problem is they can't stop anyone off the dribble tonight.

lol finally got a stop and nearly threw it away

GSP · Post #5311 » by **GSP** » Sat May 21, 2022 3:29 am

This feels like that game in Phoenix where they absolutely roasted Luka on defense

they tried hiding Luka back...... as the rim protector and Steph easily lays it in LOL

i wonder if it is a stamina issue for him, he always seems to get worse as a game goes on

Doncic-Kleber at the 4/5 is just swiss cheese at the rim on defense.

I can't even imagine if this team ended up having to defend Giannis.

Harder to defend the paint with the Warriors shooters and movement. Dallas plays the Bucks well.

Really want to see Boston win the East. Their defense against this Warriors' offense would be really interesting to see.

If Kidd tries attacking Looney on a switch for the rest of the series Cuban should fire him immediately. Someone should tell him Looney as as good as almost any non Bam center on switches

Mavs take a little while to warm up. I am a little worried about the way GS is playing if I am the Mavs, but it's not over yet. They really need to shore up their D and get some answers for how well organized GS is.

BIGJ1ER · Post #5318 » by **BIGJ1ER** » Sat May 21, 2022 4:01 am

I think this game hopefully disppels some of the GS being front runner stuff being said earlier in this thread. I'm not a fan of their team, but I'm a huge admirer of the way they play and don't agree with that notion at all.

Incredible poise shown down big, and even though Draymond was horrific, with Klay not being very good himself they managed to claw their way back and win this one.

Looney, Wiggins and OPJ will get their flowers for tonight (as they should) but I feel like Steph's contributions might be a little undervalued. He was only -2 in a 14 point deficit at the half, and ended up winning the doncic minutes (as they share the same rotation patterns). I know Luka had a sexy statline, but I'd say Steph has been the better player for 2 straight games now tbh.

Also Moody over lee was just bliss for me to see, Lee should not be seeing playoff minutes.

Mavs attacking Looney in the 3rd made no sense, they'll adjust and probably steer clear from that for the rest of the series

How about my frontrunners Chuck?? :lol:

Lou Fan · Post #5320 » by **Lou Fan** » Sat May 21, 2022 4:13 am

I love the Warriors and I root for them once the Bulls are inevitably eliminated every year but I still think they're kinda front runners. Mainly Steph. It's not necessarily a bad thing. They're the best in the world at running away with games but I trust them less than most other great teams in close games especially if they're trailing.
