He's a half a turnover higher than his career average in these playoffs. 5 in game one. Last night was brutal. Had six in the first half, if not the first quarter.

 

I thought it seemed like a lot in Game 1 when I was watching, then I saw the stat for Game 2. 13 TO's is a lot in two games.

Steph Curry went 9-22 in Game 1. He didn't repeat that performance last night and I don't know that he will again. I don't know that he'll have a third quarter showcase like he put together last night, but those low-percentage shooting nights don't happen very often.

 

I'll be shocked if the Warriors don't steal one back in OKC.

Green is unsportsmanlike and childish. I despise him. I admire Curry and Iguodola very much. They are class acts even after being historic winners at the end of the day. But Green, he isn't like Reggie Miller. Reggie Miller at least had respect. Miller didn't act like he was superior to his opponents. Green is a good player, but he's nowhere near the talent of KD or Westbrook. Just some other examples; Wade>Green, Lillard>Green, Leonard>Green, Griffin>Green, Ibaka>Green, Thompson>Green

I wouldn't take one of those people you mentioned over Draymond Green. MAYBE Lillard.

 

None of them are as versatile as Green, and it's not even all that close.

 

Griffin and Ibaka? :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Which Thompson?

Are you kidding me? You wouldn't take Wade or even Kawhi? Blake Griffin is also definitely more impactful on his team. I admit, Ibaka is a close call. (Klay Thompson btw) Are you also basing his versatility on his size and defense combined with his slightly above mediocre offense? I'd rather assume youre also being partial to his team's success. I can't deny that Green is having an impact, but as a standalone player, he is just another rather large obstacle for players. If Green played on the Jazz right now, I extremely doubt that his efforts would have impact. If Curry played on the Jazz right now, his impact would be far more obvious.

I guess it depends on how you want too look at it. I'm talking in terms of offense AND defense. Leonard is the best defender in the game right now IMO, but Draymond isn't far behind. I'd take Green on offense between those two. Wade isn't really a good comparison, but Green is better defensively; he can guard every position on the floor. Klay is better offensively, Draymond is better on defense.

 

And again, Ibaka, :lol:.

Ibaka's defense is far more consistent imo. Those two are dead even I think. "Leonard's offense is inferior to Green's" :lol: You obviously haven't watched much of the Raptors vs Heat. Wade was extremely fun to watch. He was SLICK. Too bad his team is mediocre. Still, they managed to make it a 7 game battle against the Raptors. Leonard has been the #1 problem for the Thunder the entire last series. He humiliated KD and Westbrook almost the entire series. He's only out of the picture now because he lost. I feel like any team that OKC manages against, everyone discredits their opponents. "If OKC beat them then that must mean they weren't as good as I thought." I often have that mindset about the Thunder, so I don't mean to throw stones.

Damn son......97-61 OKC in the third quarter. :lol2: :lol2:

What a downer, expected closer games.

And Tuesday night the Warriors will probably look unbeatable and win by 20.

The Warriors are in real trouble. This ain't like last year when Lebron was unreal with Dellavedova for 3 games. This is legitimate trouble for them.

Anybody watching or recording The Dunk King after this game is over?

 

I watched one a few days ago...those are some bad boys.

Leonard is the only one mentioned that is better than Green IMO.

 

Thompson is good, but the Warriors can win without him going off. When Dray plays bad GS just isn't the same. Heck they won the Finals with curry being off for most of it. Curry is their best player but Green is what other teams can't match. He's basically a LeBron type of player (but not athlete) that doesn't ever have to move from being a swish army knife into a machete. He fills the stat sheet and is a nightmare on both ends but doesn't have to go into scorer mode because of how his team is set up. He's not LeBron but overall impact wise it's his closest comparison IMO.

 

Wade was better. Still really good though.

 

Lillard is phenomenal. Really close call.

 

Griffin...no.

 

Ibaka??? What?!? Ibaka shouldn't even be mentioned with any of these guys.

 

JMO.

The Warriors are in real trouble. This ain't like last year when Lebron was unreal with Dellavedova for 3 games. This is legitimate trouble for them.

 

OKC is built perfectly to beat the Warriors IMO. Still don't think they do it, but they've got a real shot now. Still think they have to win one more at Oracle to take them out. They'll get Golden State's best shot in game four.
