Steph’s line up :sick::sick::sick::sick: my G’s forehead is red from scratching where his line used to be :sick: that hair is growing and it’s itching
 
Another thing that is causing a lot of these playoff games to be so lopsided is that it's very obvious that teams quit once they're down big in the late 3rd and early 4th quarter. Look at game 3 and 4 of this series, and look at the Eastern Conference Finals as well.

If you look at the Rockets once they were down big it looks like they mentally quit and just packed it in, allowing the score to be even more lopsided than it probably should have been. The same went for Game 3 when the Warriors were down big
 
Only way to beat the Warriors is to have a player at the end of your bench attempt to injure Curry.

Yeah it's shameful. But, these a big leads with 20+ and 5:00 left in the 4th. Maybe you can play for rhythm, but one can't help feeling discouraged.

I'm not saying it's a bad strategy, it works. Gregg Popovich popularized this with the Spurs. His squad would try to make a run from the beginning to the middle portion of the recorder but if they were still down big, he would just pull all the starters and allow them to get blown out by 30. No point in putting extra minutes on his main guys and risking injury, just get ready for the next game.

Between this, and resting players in the regular season, Popovich's introduced a lot of strategies the league doesn't like.
 
When he’s “him”....the Warriors are literally unbeatable. Doesn’t matter who’s around him. A 30pt Steph curry game = a win. Usually by a large amount because of the impact his production and play has on the rest od the team.

No other player in the league has an impact like him when they’re at their best. Not even Bron, KD or Harden etc.

It’s why dude is “unique”.....and the only time they’ve lost over the past 4 years is when he’s been off.
This curry homage is crazy my *****. You need kneepads forreal
