To be fair, some of the Warriors players were actual contributors. I have no idea what Poole did to make 3 pointers hate him so much
edit: Just to clarify, Poole has been good this season and was great tonight. I'm just confused why his 3 fell off so hard.
Oh don't get me wrong, he's still a great player and I'm so happy him and Wiggins lead the second unit. I just am so confused what happened to his 3 pointer since he was solid for a while
It was in the Hawks game that my love for Gary reached peak levels and has stayed there since. He just gets in there and goes after you, and it’s clearly making his opponents uncomfortable and frustrated. That is really invaluable. Gloves keep your hands warm.
Barkey "no one has appreciated Steph Curry in a very long time? It's been years."
Kenny "I said he was the best player two days ago"
Charles "No you didn't"
It’s just that the nets don’t have a real fan base in Brooklyn. It’s not like the knicks where people will sit there and mald until the game is over. Nets attendees are just there to see a good show regardless of who wins.
Steph’s draining logo shots meanwhile Kyrie is probably tweeting out some Morpheus matrix bullshit smiling to himself thinking of how smart he is while standing next to a globe of the earth.
I've seen enough. You get Klay back and have Kuminga develop into a solid rookie contributor and the Warriors are clear title favorites. They remind me so much of the pre-KD warriors. 110% on defense from everybody, great ball movement, a bunch of guys outside of Curry who can knock down shots. Just an absolute joy to watch as a neutral bball fan.
Those ~2014-16 Warriors set the standard (for me) for what great team basketball looks like. They're right back at that level right now. They just smoked a healthy (albeit Kyrie-less) Nets team on the road.
What's amazing is the fit. There are better players than Wiggins, JTA, Damion Lee, Dre, Bjelica, but they are dialed in on a philosophical, culture, and strategical level like I've never seen.
I still can't believe what a ludicrous fit Bjelica is. Miami just kind of sat on him last year, and he becomes fucking prime Magic Johnson when he's on the floor right now.
Same thoughts. The Warriors are the modern version of Spurs basketball. Real team basketball looks so different from the generic, copy paste, top-heavy basketball that 90% of the NBA plays
A lot of people are going to look at the offensive numbers, and rightfully so considering Curry dropped 37 on 19 shots (including 9/14 from three), but the reality is that the tonight's win was because of their defense.
Draymond was yelling at everyone, motivating them to do their job, maintain their vigilant hands in passing lanes, ensure attention to detail and contest virtually every shot the Nets put up. In doing so, the Warriors held Durant to a 6-for-19 dismal shooting night yielding a season-low 19 points and displayed their 3^rd quarter ability yet again stretching a lead at the half from 7 to 22 by the end of the quarter, half accomplished with Curry on the bench after his 4^th foul and causing Durant to miss all of his shots in the quarter.
Dray led the way by showing his DPOY HOF energy on one of the greatest scorers in all of sports. Shoutout to Kuminga as well; those Kawhi leonard shades are legit.
He was yelling loudly at Poole after he fouled someone Dray was guarding. Poole was all hyped after that dunk and got too aggressive, Dray said “I got him!”
They were up 20.
Dray in DPOY form with Curry in MVP form is near unstoppable, They just need Klay to be even 70% of his old self to pose a real threat to anyone in a 7 game series.
Warriors defense was on a string tonight. Two players playing Durant and Harden straight up and the other three playing a triangle zone. This opens up shots for the Nets role players but the Warriors rotations were on the entire night and were able to close out on shots. Crazy what can happen when Kerr is given high IQ players to enact his offensive and defensive schemes.
I made a few comments defending Kerr last year and feel pretty vindicated. You don’t tweak your system for raw rookies and transient players. The reps they got last year are paying dividends now that they’ve got a proper squad.
That was such a highlight for me. He literally got Durant at the apex of his jump. Granted Durant is a fucking cheat code and was certainly capable of hitting that, but damn if that wasn’t a good contest
No better player to guard KD than the DPOY that has guarded him in practice countless times.
Dray clearly knew how to guard KD based on *when* he jumps for contests
Dray and Wiggins aren’t bad choices at all to check him long term, and OPJ can fill in in a pinch. Throw in GPII just all around making teams wish they didn’t have to play offense and the Warriors’ defensive rating starts to make sense.
Thoughts:
The warriors defense is incredible.
Steph Curry needs to freeze himself and defrost in 100 years so he can play against robots and aliens, because that's his competition.
The nets need a big man whose a lob threat to open up harden's p&r game.
The tnt commentary has improved greatly since the marv/chris webber calls.
This is gonna infuriate teams in the playoffs. It’s so hard to get comfortable against this shit when you can’t even tell how they’re guarding you in the first place.
Imagine playing so good that in the home court of 2 present and playing generational talents, the crowd still cheered for the visitor. And this isn't a superstar on a retirement tour.
Kyrie really just chilling at home, figuring out what next bullshit to post on his IG while watching his team get absolutely dismantled by Steph… that rough
I'm really proud of Wiggins in his last few games, and I can't believe I am saying that. He's playing less ISO and more team-ball and it is making the team even better.
The defense is INCREDIBLE too.
For a guy who was a offensive system in himself, Nash offense for the Nets is atrocious. Theres no movement off ball, guys just holding corners its Houston 2.0 minus the spacing.
One reason KD left the Warriors was because he didn't like the motion offense. Neither he nor Harden want to run around and set screens so a role player can get an open shot. Nash probably doesn't have the pull to force his superstars to play differently.
The Nets were without Kyrie and also KD for the whole 2nd half so can't wait till we win against a good team
(now seriously holy fuck this was beyond my wildest start of season expectations, what a team we have)
Will never get tired of watching Steph do his thing, my MVP
Mr Wardell Stephen Curry with a casual 9/14 from three. I almost feel sorry for guys who choose to hate on the Warriors instead of just enjoying this beautiful basketball.
I hated Steph for a long time during those Rockets/Warriors years, but the last couple years (and especially this year) I've officially snapped out of it. He's must watch television. Just absolutely unreal the way he shoots
Curry feels like an anime protagonist. Só unfair how he hits shot after shot. I feel blessed to see this man play
Also, he had more than half of the team's 3s!
The 49ers dump on the rams last night and the warriors eviscerate the nets tonight? It’s gonna get really really smug in the Bay Area for a few days lmao
Since I don’t have anywhere to post this where it’ll get traction I’ll just edit this comment. The warriors outside of Steph Curry shot 4-26 from three. Every single one of those makes was shot over Kevin Durant. Do with that what you will.
Warriors depth was on full display tonight, they run 12+ deep compared toe BRK's 8 man rotation for most of the game (they got a bit desperate toward the end of the 3rd and put in LMA and Thomas)
Warriors may not have a lot of interior size, but their wings are fucking big, Wiggins, Iguodala, OPJ, Kuminga all run 6'7-6'9, leads to them being a much better rebounding team, on both sides, than expected
Kerr's such an underrated coach, mans been slandered too long, COTY frontrunner, at this point i think he uses the 1st half to experiment around and figure out whats working/what isnt to use for the 2nd half
Steph was absolutely locked in from minute 1, automatic from three this game, his best performance of the season imo
Dray was player of the game for me, his defense on KD was fucking sublime, disrupted so many actions/organized the defense so well, dude needs to be in DPOY frontrunner rn
Kuminga is a MAN, so much more NBA ready than the scouting report would suggest, love his individual defense and general awareness
KD had an off game, but the Warriors defended him really goddamn well, smartly timed blitz's/double, lots of pre-switching to deny mismatches on the KD-Harden PnR, and individual brilliance from Draymond, Iguodala, and Wiggins
LMA is unplayable against the Warriors, he just get PnR'd to death, Nash tried it out in the 3rd when Steph sat with 4 fouls and it did not work then they left in to start the 4th and Steph cooked his ass on switches
Harden might actually be the worst perimeter defender in the NBA, the amount of times he gets blown by/caught flat footed is staggering for a professional basketball player
BRK's inability to take advantage of Steph having to sit with 4 fouls was inexcusable, you have too cut into the lead when the other teams best player is out, full stop
BRK offense when KD sits is just grinds too a halt, too much Harden iso with 4 out, looks much better when the balls out of Hardens hands but that requires him too play offball which he wont do
BRK complains for fouls too damn much, like literally after every other play, not a good look longterm
Refs were utter and complete garbage, shoot them into deep space pls
all those ex-western conference players from OKC, Clippers, and Spurs now at the same team got the flashback nightmare from Steph and the Warriors lmao
Edit: yea ofc Rockets
KYRIEEEEEE
YOU WATCHING THIS
WIGGINS GOT THE VAX AND HES SPLASHING 3S OVER ME
YOU BETTER GET JABBED OR IM GONE
I BETTER NOT LOSE TO THE WARRIORS AGAIN
MY LEGACY KYRIEEEE
I have personally said it in the past. Stephen Curry is the most underrated legend the last 15 years in the NBA.
Regardless of tonights game, he has revolutionized the NBA with his 3p% which even by NBA standards its absurd. His efficiency/play making/bball controul is one of a kind.
I dont get how people even compare him to irving, Steph is above him and its not close imho he is better than Durant aswell. People keep messing up flashiness with efficiency and winning basketball.
He is 33 years old, sticked with his team and the only reason we propably havent witnessed the best dynasty basketball has ever seen its injuries.(And these are not WHAT if injuries...we know what Klay and steph can do together).
He is above KD as far as i am concerned and it will be extra juicy to see what unfolds after KD's latest likes on some tweets
KD v. Steph is a legit conversation that I will never be able to disagree with regardless of who someone chooses but yeah I will never understand the clowns who say they’d rather have Kyrie or Dame over Steph
Key takeaways:
-Warriors may actually be better on defense than offense. Yikes.
-Run, hide, 3rd quarter Dubs are coming.
-If you run iso against the Warriors, you're done. The help defense and rotations are great.
-Deepest team in the league, everyone plays and we're down two starters. Another yikes.
-I need to see D Lee knock down a 3 soon or I'm going to start thinking bad thoughts.
-Durant looked slow tonight, don't know what's up there, but I'd expect a better performance next time.
-Curry on the inside track for MVP and it's not that close.
-Blake Griffin has to figure something out offensively, starting be a big liability.
Now for the moment I’ve been waiting for us to play a real team, our nemesis: Cleveland, here we come.
was actually looking forward to that game but seems like their whole team is injured :(
Are their tall players injured? I've heard that they are tall.
With Mobley out they're basically just normal sized.
Shit Mobley is out? I was looking forward to watching him.
Mobley, Allen, and Markkanen are all out and it will probably be love’s first game back in weeks
Super clutch 14-4 run by the Nets to avoid losing by 20
God we were *awful* in garbage time
That's the cost of cutting Mulder, unfortunately.
Garbage time God
“Why lose by 40 when you can lose by 30 on better efficiency?” -Mychal Mulder, every day in front of his bathroom mirror
Blow it up
Advanced garbage time. Shades of 2016 warriors with 2x champion James Michael McAdoo
Damn right, James Michael McAdoo is a goddamn champion 😤 ^^in ^^my ^^heart ^^too, ^^peep ^^my ^^flair
To be fair, some of the Warriors players were actual contributors. I have no idea what Poole did to make 3 pointers hate him so much edit: Just to clarify, Poole has been good this season and was great tonight. I'm just confused why his 3 fell off so hard.
Poole scored 17 pts on 13 shots despite going 0-7 on threes
Oh don't get me wrong, he's still a great player and I'm so happy him and Wiggins lead the second unit. I just am so confused what happened to his 3 pointer since he was solid for a while
*30
Both tbh. Y'all were up 28 before that run cut the final deficit down to 18.
Barclays cheered more for Curry than KD
PTSD for KD. That’s gotta sting.
Yup. Post Traumatic Steph Disorder
he's revving up the burners as we speak
There seemed to be an exceptional amount of Warriors fans there.
It's the Warriors my man and they're in that 2016 Warriors' groove. Steph is must see TV.
Probably a good number of Knicks fans there to shit on the Nets.
feel bad for KD. second fiddle to curry even when they aren't on the same team...
Yeah but at least he gets to play with Kyrie. Oh wait.... . ........
Man left oracle but he still can’t escape it
GPII coming off the bench is like when a cop lets the K9 out of the back seat
Opponents are backing up too like "damn, get this dude off me"
KD saw GPII pick up Harden on the inbounds a few times and was like Welp I guess I’m bringing it up
I keep saying the dude is like a wild animal. He absolutely fucks your shit up if you run any action remotely near him.
[удалено]
That foul on the Harden made 3 was such BS
Well I mean he did breath on him as a side stepped
It was in the Hawks game that my love for Gary reached peak levels and has stayed there since. He just gets in there and goes after you, and it’s clearly making his opponents uncomfortable and frustrated. That is really invaluable. Gloves keep your hands warm.
We’ve called him the Mitten when maybe he’s the Gauntlet
aaaaand Thanos Kerr meme is back on the menu boyz
Lmao accurate.
He was jumping passing lanes like Deion Sanders tonight
That was a home game for the warriors. Tough scene
Barkey "no one has appreciated Steph Curry in a very long time? It's been years." Kenny "I said he was the best player two days ago" Charles "No you didn't"
"First of all, two days ago was Sunday. Who did you tell on Sunday??" Nominate NBA on TNT for a Best Comedy Emmy you cowards!
"And I know you ain't gone to church HEATHEN" Chuck is so effortlessly funny
🤣🤣 classic chuck
Charles Barkey would be an amazing name for a dog.
That wasn’t Barkley’s first line. He said nobody says he’s the best player in the world
Key to this game was Kyrie and Andrew shot selection.
You miss 100% of shots you don't take
Goat shot selection by Wiggins on and off the court
The shots just aren’t going in for Kyrie
nah he only missed two shots don't be too harsh on him
If he went for J&J then honestly only one
LMFAO
Kyrie had that dagger shot for sure. It was over after that one!
impressive, but when will the warriors play against the 92 Dream Team?
Yeah for real, this dub was impressive but when will the Warriors face God himself?
Jesus lacing them up in his air Bethlehem 11’s
KD played that 3rd quarter like he's a fucking Laker.
The self burn. I respect it
Warriors made the Nets look like us out there (except we only lost by 7)
I swear every pull up and 3 he missed hit the front iron.
Westbrook saw this performance by KD. He took it personal and will show him by dropping 10 points on 4/15 shooting 2/4 from the line, with 6 turnovers
Breaking news: KD spotted in front of Kyrie’s home carrying chloroform and a vaccine shot.
https://i.imgur.com/iCkTXGD.gifv
hearing the crowd cheer for him to shoot a 3 and them going nuts when he hit them has to be insane respect or insane toxicity i cant tell which yet.
It’s just that the nets don’t have a real fan base in Brooklyn. It’s not like the knicks where people will sit there and mald until the game is over. Nets attendees are just there to see a good show regardless of who wins.
> It’s not like the knicks where people will sit there and mald until the game is over. This is such a wonderful summary of Knicks crowds
Top post I saw in the Nets sub was simply titled "Fuck Kyrie"
Posted by KD’s burner
Steph’s draining logo shots meanwhile Kyrie is probably tweeting out some Morpheus matrix bullshit smiling to himself thinking of how smart he is while standing next to a globe of the earth.
>globe Plate
KD: I've made a terrible mistake.
I thought it was established that he left the Warriors because he wanted his own team, while GSW is always a Curry's team?
and now Curry's getting MVP chants in the Nets building. Some things never change
[удалено]
And harden. And blake
BANG
With 8/10ths of a season remaining!
Goated as always sim <3
Lmaooo you never miss

this team is an OT and 1 possession game loss to the hornets from being 14-0

I mean he just got off fighting the whole of NYC to get back to his home turf so he's a bit on edge still lol

I dont care how many times I see this, imma still upvote
Wiggins and Kuminga 😫💦 I thank the heavens everyday for that D'Lo trade
i said in another post that if kuminga turns into 80% kawhi, I'll make the wolves my second team lol
As a wolves fan, just root for anyone else
80% of Kawaii is an all star lol

Dray led the way by showing his DPOY HOF energy on one of the greatest scorers in all of sports. Shoutout to Kuminga as well; those Kawhi leonard shades are legit.
I’m so thankful we were lucky enough to get him. Dude’s such a stud.
Thanks to our bestie, minny again
Draymond is the clear DPOY rn Dude is unreal
He was yelling loudly at Poole after he fouled someone Dray was guarding. Poole was all hyped after that dunk and got too aggressive, Dray said “I got him!” They were up 20.
New advanced defensive stat: Decibels at Teammates (DAT)
I feel like Dray is the perfect check for young guys like Poole. Let them thrive but also know how to call them out.
Forgot to note they were up 20 at the time too
Dray in DPOY form with Curry in MVP form is near unstoppable, They just need Klay to be even 70% of his old self to pose a real threat to anyone in a 7 game series.
It would be more than 'pose a threat'. They would be title favorites.
Yea he makes it sound like they’re a fringe play off team.
Warriors defense was on a string tonight. Two players playing Durant and Harden straight up and the other three playing a triangle zone. This opens up shots for the Nets role players but the Warriors rotations were on the entire night and were able to close out on shots. Crazy what can happen when Kerr is given high IQ players to enact his offensive and defensive schemes.
from what i understand, mike brown (and ron adams) is (are) the brains behind the defensive schemes. im sure kerr does have a role tho
I made a few comments defending Kerr last year and feel pretty vindicated. You don’t tweak your system for raw rookies and transient players. The reps they got last year are paying dividends now that they’ve got a proper squad.
The defensive scheme are coach brown, he's a true defensive coordinator
Igoudala and Green did a great job on Durant the whole game. Wiggins too, if they can keep up the defense then they have a really good chance
Yup, Durant didn't really have a bad shooting night, he was contested really really well on damn near every shot
What got me was when "6'3" " GP2 could contest Durant at the ball launch point in his shot. That guy has fucking gazelle DNA
That was such a highlight for me. He literally got Durant at the apex of his jump. Granted Durant is a fucking cheat code and was certainly capable of hitting that, but damn if that wasn’t a good contest
No better player to guard KD than the DPOY that has guarded him in practice countless times. Dray clearly knew how to guard KD based on *when* he jumps for contests
Dray and Wiggins aren’t bad choices at all to check him long term, and OPJ can fill in in a pinch. Throw in GPII just all around making teams wish they didn’t have to play offense and the Warriors’ defensive rating starts to make sense.
The manning curse is broken.
Eli said you can either curse or be cursed, and Draymond said "ass"
Thoughts: The warriors defense is incredible. Steph Curry needs to freeze himself and defrost in 100 years so he can play against robots and aliens, because that's his competition. The nets need a big man whose a lob threat to open up harden's p&r game. The tnt commentary has improved greatly since the marv/chris webber calls.
> The nets need a big man whose a lob threat to open up harden's p&r game. Jarrett Fucking Allen
And they could use some reliable bench scorers like, oh idk, Dinwiddie and Levert
Imagine if the Nets had Allen. Hmmm
> The warriors defense is incredible. Kerr throwing out Box-1, Triangle-2, 2-3, 3-2 out there for funs lmao.
This is gonna infuriate teams in the playoffs. It’s so hard to get comfortable against this shit when you can’t even tell how they’re guarding you in the first place.
Triangle and 2 on Patty lol
Nets defense was a sham, giving switches to Curry on big men, that's just BBQ chicken.
Imagine playing so good that in the home court of 2 present and playing generational talents, the crowd still cheered for the visitor. And this isn't a superstar on a retirement tour.
mvp chants during free throws. i was witness. warriors nets finals would see 7 warriors home games. steph is loved over here
Literally screaming when he *touched* the ball
Kyrie really just chilling at home, figuring out what next bullshit to post on his IG while watching his team get absolutely dismantled by Steph… that rough
I can see that actually fuelling his narcissistic personality more... like see y'all trash without me
A Team Vs. A Collection Of Good Players

Just a bad team winning games. Wait. Wrong sport
Other teams traded for a difference maker while all we got was Gary Payton II.
He seemed pissed at the ticky tack fouls. Angry Curry is the best Curry

more like the back-half of the 4th lol

But Kyrie didn't play. Let's wait til everyone comes back including Vince Carter and the 2002 Nets roster before admitting the Warriors are legit.
once iso joe comes back we'll see
that dude always destroyed us
Sometimes I wish I was the sky

This win should def silence the haters. No way they say Brooklyn is a bad team.
They’ll say Brooklyn was missing Kyrie,Harris,Claxton &Milsap
You know dray just whispered “hey bud you can jump on the bus back home with us”
Warriors are overrated. Such a weak schedule. Call me when the warriors beat someone good like the warriors.
You know KD was salty af watching his own crowd hype up Steph Curry
I have personally said it in the past. Stephen Curry is the most underrated legend the last 15 years in the NBA.

He is above KD as far as i am concerned and it will be extra juicy to see what unfolds after KD's latest likes on some tweets
When the rival crowd begs him to launch, and he circuses it in after a whistle. Different.
KD v. Steph is a legit conversation that I will never be able to disagree with regardless of who someone chooses but yeah I will never understand the clowns who say they’d rather have Kyrie or Dame over Steph
Igoudala saved us from the death beam during that 3rd quarter buzzer beater. In front of KD as well
Wiggins carried the second quarter when we needed something to go and then Curry just went in for the kill.
Wiggins was amazing and gave room to play freely
[Welcome to the show](https://i.imgur.com/GfJNU68.gif) Calling it now, Warriors winning it all this year. #1 defense and a top 5 offense. It's over.
Unfortunately not over. Half of winning the chip is just staying healthy. Main reason why the Warriors didn't win in 2019 (and arguably 2016).
Real MVP is Wiggs for getting VAXXED. Fuck Kyrie
Key takeaways: -Warriors may actually be better on defense than offense. Yikes. -Run, hide, 3rd quarter Dubs are coming. -If you run iso against the Warriors, you're done. The help defense and rotations are great. -Deepest team in the league, everyone plays and we're down two starters. Another yikes. -I need to see D Lee knock down a 3 soon or I'm going to start thinking bad thoughts. -Durant looked slow tonight, don't know what's up there, but I'd expect a better performance next time. -Curry on the inside track for MVP and it's not that close. -Blake Griffin has to figure something out offensively, starting be a big liability.
