Warriors putting it on them now. You would think there would be more interest on here with the top teams in the league playing?

The home Warriors strike again. Playoffs might be a different animal, but I can't see this being an easy team to beat.

Didn't get to watch it but looking at the box score it looked like Barnes had a good game :)

Rough game for me to watch, but splitting the series 1-1 with them is not bad. The warriors live and die by shooting and no matter what team you play, if you shoot 60%+ you will win.

Yeah but what people always overlook is that they're the #1 defense in the league and have been all year as well. It's not that they only live by the 3.. they have a complete package on both ends.

The real game came down to the significance Thompson has for the Warriors and Korver for the Hawks. Thompson is having a career season; however, the bench can make up for his absence on the court. The fluidity of the Hawks offense is strongly factored with Korver on the court. The fear of his off the pick shooting forces players to stick on him giving the others the opportunity to play 1 on 1. When you have to replace him with Kent Bazemore that is clearly lost...

I will also say that Horford had a HORRIFIC game...

I understand this, but look at the matches the Warriors have lost. No matter what defense you have, if your team lives and dies by shooting and it doesn't drop that game you will lose. I'm not saying it will be a blowout, but you will lose.

It's hard for that to happen when you have an overall great shooting team off the bench and on the court, but defense cannot base the victories from what I've seen with the Warriors. Its the shooting the Warriors clearly live off of. Either Curry or Thompson carries each other, but when both fall normally the Warriors lose.
