they shot ove 80 threes combine? Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.

What in the world is with Draymond Green and those legs?? His leg was up above Harden's head and hit him in the face.

This Houston at Golden State game is pure garbage basketball. It's just iso basketball and three pointers - that's it. No defense whatsoever.

Seriously, for Houston it's Harden iso for 20 seconds, penetration, and either a contested shot, free throws, or a kick out for a three. For Golden State, it's coming down and jacking up a quick three.

Just terrible, terrible basketball.

I believe a three point shot early in the shot clock is generally made at a higher percentage than one later in the shot clock, so a quick three from a good shooter is usually a very efficient shot if not strongly contested.

Still hate them. I've always hated Golden State's style that would not hesitate to come down and shoot a top of the key three with 18 seconds to go. I pretty much hate any iso-three that is not absolutely necessary. Threes should primarily come off of a pass.

Houston's style is even worse. It's literally Harden iso'ing for 22 seconds and jacking up a step-back shot or passing to a teammate with a second left.

Flagrant 1 on Green. Is that another suspension for him due to it dealing with his wildass legs again?

One thing is being a fighter and the other is being a dirty fighter like Draymond Green.

Good to see someone barely beat the warriors.  Gotta keep that illusion alive that they can be beat.

How is it an illusion if they just got beat and have lost two other games as well...

[trickybilly]

That was like Trump.

Yes, you won. But are you proud of how you did it?

In other news, Dekker looked good, Ryan A is still an incredible shooter

im talkin playoffs.  You might sneak a win out of a series but that's a team that might have the greatest offense in history, just won 12 games in a row, has the best record in the league, and is on a 70+ win pace.   They are in a separate tier from the rest of the league.

They actually don't look as good as they did for the majority of last season. I live in Oakland so I see a ton of their games. They were poetry in motion last season. I don't know exactly what it is but it is not the same.

They are having to learn a new way to play.  Their bench largely sucks now and they don't have anyone who can replace what Bogut did for them.

A turnover leading to a three pointer in transition is a thing of beauty.

Cavs not so invincible anymore. Getting ready to lose their third straight game tonight. I've been saying that the Bulls could give the Cavs some trouble in the playoffs. I'm hoping they're a low seed that plays the Cavs in the first or second round.

We should all know by now that the regular season is meaningless when it comes to evaluating the Cavs.

I think this happened about This time last year. Lebron may need a two week break again. Not really much to see or get worried about until they get to playoffs
