      Yes Giant. I long for the days of ankles being broken & blood on the court. Now playing hard means throwing your legs out dramatically into your opponents groin. I feel dirty and ashamed to be watching.

        quiet

        steph and klay can't play together like this on a team like this forever

        OKC had 3 tries to end it and failed in epic fashion... choking at home in the 4th and scoring 12 in the 3rd quarter in game 7? getting it to 86-90... GS has to inbounds and only has 4 seconds to find a way to get off a clean shot and you literally grind against Steph and don't back away even as he goes to shoot to beat the buzzer...???

        Ibaka will never recover

        GS up 7 after swish swish swish, game, series, over.

        a team can step up and beat them or else they will win again. Cavs got their shot again with a better overall team, healthy team (at the moment), better coach suited for the Cavs roster... etc

        no excuses

          Kind of ironic that the guy announcing tonight was most famous for throwing his legs out dramatically.

          No, not Marv. He was famous for wearing women's panties.

            I think too many teams shoot too many of them and only a team like Golden State it really actually favors

                If you want to globalize the game, gotta tone it down or it won't catch on. If it's too rough, it may catch on in Austrailia but not many other places.

                  I just got a warning from Shari.

                  She's tough, but fair.

                  Guys, learn from my mistakes.

                      G... WTF

                      Shari and I have only exchanged good vibes in PM, never anything close to a WARNING... shame on you.

                      You need to learn how to talk to a real lady; I would've thought your dealings with Antibet would've already taught you that.

                          Shari *is* def a sweetie; she loves me as much as donker loves vaseline and his mexican V. Blame her mood on The Giant; from what I can glean, G tried to mimic Steven Adams with his Splash Bro description, proving once again why you should never try to copy a 7 ft freak of nature in anything. You don't see me going round quoting Patrick Ewing, do you? Ok, maybe I use some of Patrick's lines @ the strip club... but other than that, no fukkin way.

                                may never happen, not in their primes anyway. Curry will be signing a new $175M/5yr deal after next season and Klay is signed for 3 more years.

                                    To answer the original question, yes. I don't know what all these coaches do in practice; how much time does it take to practice setting up four guys around the three-point line and throw the ball back and forth?

                                      You should be rewarded for getting the ball closer to the hoop. All that is needed is, make behind the arc shots 2 points rest 3 points. Reverse the system.

                                        I always wondered if Marv dropped one of his unique catch phrass after he bit her on the back, like YESSS, IT counts

                                          I don't mind the 3 point shot. I hate the moving screens and offensive holding to free up Klay and Curry. It's like watching a football game. Then all the leg kicks like Rockettes and flopping. Clean that crap up.

                                            Is it sexual? Probably not.
                                            Did Shari move?... cuz last I looked, Australia and New Zealand (where Adams is from) are 2 different countries. Hell, Australia is a continent, too; while New Zealand is part of the submerged continent of Zealandia.

                                            Now you run the risk of pissing Shari off again w/your poor geographical knowledge combined with your thinly-veiled "all Southern Hemisphere countries look alike" judgments.

                                            But hey, don't worry... I got your back. I'll drop a PM to Shari smoothing over things so you don't get another WARNING. Feel free to repay your gratitude with pts at any time.

                                            And YES, the tension is clearly highly sexual... BUT... it's also clearly one-sided and from you. So, do what you normally do when this situation occurs and contact either Weeder or jj so y'all can "rub one out" "work it out" to relieve the pressure.

                                            Lastly, the answer to your initial question posited is... NO. What we've seen with Golden State/3-balls is an evolution of the game; an evolution that doesn't necessarily demand the extinction of all other types of ways to play the game successfully (low box, in-out-in movement, backcuts to basket for easy hoops, etc.). It's incumbent on the NBA coaching minds to figure it out. Shooting 3's is most definitely a skill. You don't stop evolution just because you're afraid of change and are now forced to use brainpower to keep up to 'survive'.

                                            This sorta reminds me of those whining about the defensive alignments now employed in baseball: some wanna outlaw the shifts. Er... NO, muthafukkers..... ADJUST! Start laying down some bunts on the open side of the infield and force the defense to play you honestly. You think Brady or Rodgers are not gonna exploit something the defense is giving them?

                                            fuhgeddaboudit, pal

                                              All sports change, and there is often periods/eras of something.

                                              NFL has changed into a passing and offensive oriented league.

                                              The Warriors have proved that jumpshooting teams can win, while accumulating high viewership ratings in the process.

                                                haha if you think the 3pt line ruined the game, they're thinking about adding a 4pt line

                                                    Barkley hates the Warriors because they proved his theory wrong that you cant win a title based on the three ball.

                                                      lmao hot spots. NBA jam was the shit.but if they added a 4pt line that would change the game, wagering, the lines.. everything.

                                                        If there was no 3 point shot teams would not be able to finish the game. You would see starters fouling out in the middle of 3rd quarter because everyone will be driving to the hoop.

                                                        Just think before you say something.

                                                              Now you run the risk of pissing Shari off again w/your poor geographical knowledge combined with your thinly-veiled "all Southern Hemisphere countries look alike" judgments.


                                                              Yea they arnt that far away but two different countries and places.

He's basically like Shaq where you can hit him as hard and often as you like and they won't call it. Biyombo smashed him in the neck and head several times in the series and they never even looked at the plays for a flagrant foul. You couldn't blow on Lebron in Miami but now that he's in Cleveland he gets mugged over and over again. Iguodala basically impregnated him last years finals as much nut hugging, and mugging he was allowed to do. Go look at his free throw stats this year. It's the lowest in his career. NBA loves to shit on Cleveland and will go out of it's way to fukk the city. Watch in these playoffs. GSW will get away with murder. Lebron in Cleveland... Crab dribble. In Miami, never called. The NBA can eat a dick.
