Re: The Finals: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden St. Warriors Part 2

Is GS really that different than the Kerr GM-teams in Phoenix?

They just have harder workers that aren't made of glass.

Well I remember people talked about can teams win playing a run and gun type of offense which is something Mike Dantonio liked to do and which is also something this GS team does as both teams play extremely fast paced but the big difference is Mike Dantonio's teams played zero d where this GS team can play some really good d.

I don't disagree at all. I love the way GS plays less-selfish basketball with a focus on defense. They tried to 1 on 1 against KD and Russ and almost got put to sleep.

I just take exception to the statement that GS is "revolutionizing BB." As a near 40 year old, this is just how basketball used to be until the late 90's and the rise of And1 street ball, iso bb and such. San Antonio has been doing it well for the last 20 years pretty much and that is not to take away from how good GS is.

Well the other thing is GS plays more guys and has a better bench then those suns teams do so guys don't get as tired. Suns where playing like 7 maybe 8 guys. GS like 10. When it comes to revolutionizing BB I would say there has never been 2 guys that are as good of shooters has Curry and Thompson are on the same team before and never a guy that can shoot from like 40 feet out like Curry can.

Re: The Finals: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden St. Warriors Part 2

You talking about the '11 team?

I was talking about the '06 one since they're the last time I know of to comeback from down 2-0 but I don't remember at all what the consensus feeling was on that team.

It was understandably gloomy.

You started hearing things about Shaq disappearing on the big stage...him being frustrated about not getting the ball. Wade was struggling too even with Shaq getting doubled.

Devin Harris questioning Wade's jumpshot...

Shaq still says to this day he's not sure how they pulled it off, lol

24th answer

I don't remember it being as big of a stink.

I remember them questioning Antoine Walker about being a role player and he scuffed at them for it

I don't know about that. Richmond-Mullin, Miller-Person......hell Nash and Dirk were ridiculous.

Is Curry is the best shooting PG I've ever seen? I don't know. Nash was pretty sick. He had nasty handles but just wasn't as flashy as Curry. I think that is just a generational thing.

I don't know if him+Klay are the best ever. Not saying they aren't but I just can't say yes to that yet.

Even though it was the birth of D-Whistle, it's what made me a fan for D Wade. For one, I was still pissed about Manus foul on Dirk, so **** Dallas....we would've swept the Heat...

but I loved that Wade took Harris comments personally and started knocking Js down

[Smallville102001]

Re: The Finals: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden St. Warriors Part 2

lol at first I only saw Wade in that photo. I have always been confused by this whole whistle heat getting all the calls thing because they didn't get favored at all. They won because Dallas fell apart in game 3 and Wade took over games 4-6.

Don't forget Alonzo Mournings block party as well. No excuse for that, he just owned Dallas

Curry is the best shooter of all time and its not even close. Yes Nash was a good shooter but most of his shoots where open shoots he couldn't shoot off the dribble like Curry can and didn't have the same range to. As good of shooter as guys like Rey Allen, Reggie miller where they didn't have range like Curry does and couldn't shoot off the dribble like Curry can they where more catch and shoot. Curry shoots like just as good off the dribble has he like does on a catch and shoot. That is what makes Curry so special not only a great shooter but crazy range and some of the best handles I have ever seen to. You are not suppose to be a great shooter and have amazing handles to its not far. Thompson while not Curry still is one of the better shooters of all time to.

Plus Curry is hitting shots way deeper than Nash did.

I don't remember how many blocks he had vs Dallas that year but he did a great Job off the bench behind Oneal that year and it was nice to see him get a championship after having to deal with his health issue that he had to deal with.

That is what I was saying he has crazy range. He hits shoots you would see Kobe hit some times from like 5 feet behind the 3 point line only he does it all the time lol.
