Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Unlike other teams we can still outrebound them without offensive ability. The Warriors for all there flash beat teams with defense and if there are two players who love attacking the rim its Irving and Lebron. Lebron till he wore out was having a field day against the Warriors

If Love can get his post and rim attacking game together we have Delly, Shump, Bron and T.T on D and A.V if pray to god is healthy will be a headache for G.S if his mid range shot is falling. LeBron aside AV is our most smart player at the time.
 
Meh, the Ws will come back to earth sooner than later. A lengthy win streak brings false hope and an undue burden on the team.
 
Well I know why I kinda hate the Warriors more than I should now. They are the rare case in the NBA that did not buy their team yet grew it together. OKC tried this and the Warriors did it. I wish the first Cavs Bron team could have done this. Oh well I can't be mad at em anymore. Except Green fuck that guy.
 
I know the Warriors look unbeatable, but they're really not. The last 3 games, they were very close to losing to Clippers, Raptors, and Nets. I'm actually still not 100% sold that they come out of the West over the Spurs. Popovich is much better than Kerr, and the Spurs are the type of team that won't get rattled by not having HCA. Curry will have to deal with being covered by Kawhi Leonard too... I don't think he's ever had to deal with a defender like that for an entire playoff series.

Don't really have faith in anyone else in the West though. Clippers are nice, but Stephenson has to be much better for them to excel. Thunder have great talent, but they still seem to be playing the same ISO ball that Brooks had them playing.

This is there is no true challenge for them aside from a healthy Spurs or Cavs team. Even OKC is so so, So until they hit the buzz saw let them gallop through their egos.
 
Really not sure who I want to win tomorrow between Bulls and Warriors. I guess I really don't want the Bulls to be back in first place, and them losing puts us a full game ahead of them. Actually, Bulls losing and us winning against the Hawks on Sat would give us a pretty decent leg up on the East.
 
The Bulls have a really good shot here. They match up well enough with the Warriors with that back court of there's. They were one of the few teams to win in Oakland last year and the Warriors won't be that fresh tomorrow.

This is simply ridiculous. How do you stop this?

By playing smart basketball. Which is what Spurs will do when they face them.

Clippers in the last six mins made so many boneheaded plays. Warriors knew that if they isolated and restricted CP3, the rest of the Clippers offense would fall down like a pack of cards and that is exactly what happened. And who the fuck knows what Doc was smoking by having Pierce on the floor who was awful in terms of shooting the ball as well as defending.

Yeah. They have two backcourt players who will make Steph work defensively. Warriors can't just hide Steph by having him on Crawford like they did today. If they do the same with Butler, he will punish him.

The key for Bulls IMO is, their bench. They need Noah and Gibson to do well when they come off the bench. If they do that, I feel they will defeat the Warriors tomorrow.
 
Bulls will probably win the game tonight.

How anyone can say what GSW is doing is lucky is beyond me. They're by FAR the best team in the NBA and it's not even close. The amount of absurdly difficult shots they make and look routine every single night is unreal. They're the best team I've ever seen.

They just had to come around during our championship window...
