If Boston loses 1 of the first 2 I think they are going to lose this series. They dont seem to be the same on the road.

Miss me with all that. Mans literally tried his damndest to do what Russ did last season this season. He failed of course but still he was chasing triple doubles. Hell he was doing it in the waning moments of getting washed in the finals last year. He's always had the check my stats mentality that y'all lambast Russ for.

This has been the case for the last 4 years. He is what he is at this point. It works against 28 NBA teams, is it really THAT bad that ONE team is immune to it? Nah

Lebron has always been a passer tho one of the greatest ever career avg is 27-7-7. No kyrie so he has a higher usage rate.

The thing is people always think selfish = taking to many shots.
As if that's the only way to be selfish while playing ball.

when you look at how our roster was assembled, an iso heavy offense maximizes the talent on our squad. it's more noticeable for people who've actually watched more than 5 games of us this year. this game was an uglier version of the iso heavy offense we normally run, but part of that is due to the warriors great defense. even when harden isos and looks to create, the warriors were guarding the cuts off-ball well. then they made him work on defense switching onto KD which obviously would gas him with his offensive load (led to some late turnovers and missed bunnies).
it's hard to say that's our achilles heel cause that team was built differently (dwight and mchale). you don't change an offense 90 games in when it's had so much success, which is what i hear many people calling for, and has been proven to be one of the few ways to beat the warriors (okc with kd/russ, cavs with bron/kyrie). the fact of the matter is that iso was our best offense tonight and will continue to be as this roster is assembled, and was not as big of a problem as people made it to be tonight. it's just the narrative people have been running with for the whole year. our defense and other guys like luc, gordon, and ariza continuing to slump in the playoffs shooting the ball were much of a bigger problem tonight.
i am not championing iso ball. whether people believe it's not good enough to beat the warriors, that's a reasonable take, because the KD warriors are an all-time great team and have plenty ways to beat you. i am merely arguing against many people saying it isn't effective. that's just not true. what klay gotta do with this? completely different players and i never even mentioned him
turn your caps lock off lol. the hell are you even talking bout. im never gonna pick against us. rockets in 3. good night
Morey came out and said that this team was built to beat GSW at their own game...that’s false. Gsw offense isn’t predicated on one man dribbling and “creating” for himself/teammates. There’s a lot more movement off-ball, which I wouldn’t say is the case for houston. As soon as luc, ariza and gordon weren’t hitting last nite houston moved away from anything away from the ball and it came down to harden/cp. Of course you wouldnt change your offensive scheme this late in the season but why play an entire season running an offense that would become predictable and easy for golden state to stop in a seven game series this late into the playoffs? If bron/kyrie couldnt do it, im not confident harden and cp would be able to.
I will say that the warriors have the luxury of having 4 dudes who can facilitate (steph, kd, draymond, iggy) but the same could nearly be said about the rockets between harden, cp, and gordon. Only thing is, gordon has been relegated to being a streaky shooter. Houston could create more offense if they let gordon share the ball handling load while harden and cp3 worked off screens from capela and ariza. sure he turned it over a lot last nite but how much of it has to do with him playing outside of what he’s become used to in houston?
And i bring up klay because you harp on the “houston big three” outplayed steph/klay/dray story. Yet Outside of harden, statistically no one on houston “outplayed” klay.

I love how yall (not you) pick and chose which NBA players yall call out for chasing stats.
EVERY NBA player knows and chases his stats. Especially ELITE players.
Kareem chased stats
Jordan chased stats
Kobe chased
KG chased
They all do.
Dudes online with NBA 2K chase stats with NO monetary benefit of it, but yall want to single out a FEW NBA players when they do it?
Nah, they ALL do it

You don't get what I'm doing. Just using their own logic against them. Apparently Russ is the only one that stat pads.

I agree
Most selfish example of non-shooting I can recall

Everyone stat pads to a certain extent but to act like Bron is putting up empty stats is pretty dumb.
