Official Warriors vs. Pelicans game topic

[IronMonkey415]

I'll remember to come back to my own topic when the game begin, have a bad habit of forgetting them sometime.

[IronMonkey415]

Oh yea Bogut will eat Omer alive tonight. I don't think Omer can handle Bogut down low.

[currycurrycurry]

Let's go! I can't wait to see the Oracle explode!

[Rhyster66]

Cmon Pelicans, a sneaky win here could give them a tad amount of momentum.

[chitownbears22]

Pelicans win. AD goes nuts. Currycurrycurry cries.

[howethegreat]

Going to see greatness and not from the guy everyone is obsessing about.

[IronMonkey415]

Unsung hero will be Draymond Green

[chitownbears22]

Unsung hero will be Draymond Green

What are you talking about? Everyone knows who Green is and how he is a key part to GSWs success this year.

[spurs50fan]

If Davis controls the paint and tempo, some holes will pucker lol

[IronMonkey415]

oh so that is what that phrase mean?

[IronMonkey415]

In that case I will go with Iguodala.

[chitownbears22]

oh so that is what that phrase mean?

Yes it is used to describe people who make unrecognized contributions. He is the third most important player on that team, the fans know it, the commentators know it, and any NBA fan knows it.

[Rhyster66]

Due to all of those sexy moving picks that he gets away with that leave Steph open for 3.

[exoticprince]

Giant killers

[chitownbears22]

Due to all of those sexy moving picks that he gets away with that leave Steph open for 3.

lol so true

[whodatbeastly16]

Lets go Pels! Give EM the business. Sucks Im not gonnabe able to watch the game

[eastbayak]

Lets go Pels! Give EM the business. Sucks Im not gonnabe able to watch the game

it's probably better that you don't. that way, you wouldn't waste 2.5 hours watching your boys lose to my dubs!!! haha, with all jokes aside, that does suck. sorry man!

[crazymj]

lets go Pelicans!

[eastbayak]

curry with dat 3 lol

[Kosmo Kards]

This series would be a lot more interesting in the Pels can sneak a win today.

[IronMonkey415]

MOVING SCREEN ON GREEN.

You guy were talking about that earlier today.

[Rhyster66]

C'mon Pels

[Rhyster66]

MOVING SCREEN ON GREEN.

You guy were talking about that earlier today.

You'll see it alot. That's all he does.

[JerseyCP3]

Pelicans look Sluggish.

[Rhyster66]

Pelicans look Sluggish.

Not often that AD puts up first quarter numbers like THIS

[chitownbears22]

Talk about nervous

[eastbayak]

Not often that AD puts up first quarter numbers like THIS

well, not often that he's playing the warriors either lol

[jbrandonw]

Going just like I thought it would.

[JerseyCP3]

Not often that AD puts up first quarter numbers like THIS

I know. Osik looked lost as usual. We will play better.

[bballcollector]

Great defensive 1st quarter from the Warriors.

[chitownbears22]

Norris Cole playing pretty well.

[JerseyCP3]

I love getting Cole at the trade deadline.

[chitownbears22]

I love getting Cole at the trade deadline.

Will be interesting to see what kind of contract he gets

[spurs50fan]

Gotta give them the deer in headlights pass

[bulljh]

As soon as Curry sits, NO goes on an 8-0 run.

[eastbayak]

asik... lol

[chitownbears22]

asik... lol

He has gotten to watch some of the best players in the NBA play in the playoffs. He stood around and watched Rose, now he is standing around watching Curry.

[JerseyCP3]

asik... lol


He kills me sometimes. *face palm*

[eastbayak]

He has gotten to watch some of the best players in the NBA play in the playoffs. He stood around and watched Rose, now he is standing around watching Curry.

haha, he gets the best spectator view in the house

[eastbayak]

He kills me sometimes. *face palm*

i know lol, i can only imagine how the NO fans feel

[chitownbears22]

If they call Asik a great defender one more time this game is going on mute.

[JerseyCP3]

i know lol, i can only imagine how the NO fans feel

Hes horrible at times. Just like now. He's 5 feet away from Bogut. It's playoffs for god sakes.

Horrible tech call by the way. That's BS.

[tYEwREEEk13]

1st half MVP for Golden State... Omer Asik.

[razorsharp]

Horrific 1st playoff game so far for Mr. Davis.

[chitownbears22]

Horrific 1st playoff game so far for Mr. Davis.

He is being doubled by two legitimate defenders. He has played solid defense though.

[razorsharp]

He is being doubled by two legitimate defenders. He has played solid defense though.

Forget scoring, he has as many turnovers as rebounds+assists so far.

He needs to play better.

[eastbayak]

He is being doubled by two legitimate defenders. He has played solid defense though.

Not to mention the fact that he's probably nervous as hell. No doubt that he'll step it up 100% in game 2.

[razorsharp]

Make that more turnovers now than assists and rebounds.

[JerseyCP3]

Seems like everything is falling for GS.

[eastbayak]

Forget scoring, he has as many turnovers as rebounds+assists so far.

He needs to play better.

He will. It's the dude's first NBA playoff game, not to mention, at Oracle arena. He'll play better as the series goes on...but it might already be too late by then

[JerseyCP3]

1st half MVP for Golden State... Omer Asik.

I couldn't agree more. Lol

[eastbayak]

OH MY GODDDDD

[JustinVerlander07]

The defense by Green and Bogut has been unreal.

[JerseyCP3]

Another turnover and unreal shot going in.

[chitownbears22]

OKC would have been a better matchup

[JustinVerlander07]

OKC would have been a better matchup
They'd be getting beat down just as bad.

[dapro]

OKC would have been worst. Warriors defense is for real.

[JerseyCP3]

They'd be getting beat down just as bad.

Yea I would agree with this too. GS is deep. And it seems like everything curry throws up goes in. Maybe he'll bounce it off ref for allyoop to himself hitting backboard while he stands at 3 pnt line to drill it.

[chitownbears22]

OKC would have been worst. Warriors defense is for real.

At least Kanter would be playing D in the paint.

[JustinVerlander07]

At least Kanter would be playing D in the paint.

Kanter and defense?

[IronMonkey415]

He really is killing Omer...LOL.

[chitownbears22]

Kanter and defense?

Kanter would attempt to play D. Asik is actually just standing and watching. Hands are down and giving 4 foot cushion on Bogut.....

[eastbayak]

Kanter would attempt to play D. Asik is actually just standing and watching. Hands are down and giving 4 foot cushion on Bogut.....

lol, this makes me laugh...and unfortunately, it's fairly accurate too. oh boi

[the27guy]

Enes kanter is statistically one of the single worst defenders in the history of the league.

[tristan20]

Stop going to Davis! Its obvious its not working. The paint is CLOGGED!

[the27guy]

I heard a couple of experts talking about how underrated they feel like this Warrior team is. One said he'd be shocked if it takes them more than 20 games to win the championship. I think he's right. This team might be a top 5 team ever. We might be looking at the best offense and defense in the league. I give NO a 5% chance of winning a game in this series.

[razorsharp]

Green is going to get the max. He has totally outplayed Davis all game.

[tristan20]

Pelicans need to start hitting some 3s, Davis has been absolutely horrible.

[razorsharp]

Pelicans need to start hitting some 3s, Davis has been absolutely horrible.

People on here will make excuses for him but he truly has been.

All I heard for days from experts was Golden State had no chance of containing him. Green is just too small. And what has happened? Not only has Green contained him, he's dominated him.

[eastbayak]

klay is starting to express his self-defeated look lol...sigh. i honestly feel that GS's success depends on klay's confidence

[eastbayak]

Green is going to get the max. He has totally outplayed Davis all game.

this was a given long ago

[razorsharp]

Injuries have completely ruined Eric Gordon.

[tristan20]

Asik looks uninterested in playing lol

Bring back Ajinca, at least he scored

[JerseyCP3]

If anybody is at the game right now. Please chuck a beer at Asik.

[Rhyster66]

This is so sad. Good thing AD has time to grow into a better playoff performer.

[howethegreat]

Pelicans need to start hitting some 3s, Davis has been absolutely horrible.

But but but Davis is an once in a generation player, he is supposed to be amazing

[razorsharp]

Monty Williams might as well pack his bags now.

He is going to get canned after this series. Not only are they getting swept, I would be surprised if the Warriors don't win every game by double digits.

[Rhyster66]

But but but Davis is an once in a generation player, he is supposed to be amazing

First playoff game/Not anywhere near his prime/very young.


He will be fine.

[JustinVerlander07]

Draymond Green is just a flat out star.

[trixstar]

This feels like a 1 vs 16 in the NCAA tourney

[eastbayak]

PONTDEXTER?!?!?!?!?!

[Rhyster66]

Draymond Green is just a flat out star.

Amazing Starter, not Star.

[JustinVerlander07]

Amazing Starter, not Star.

He's a star, bud.

[razorsharp]

Draymond Green is just a flat out star.

He's an amazing glue guy but he is not a star.

You are going no where as a team if he is your best player.

[JustinVerlander07]

He's an amazing glue guy but he is not a star.

You are going no where as a team if he is your best player.

Didn't say superstar, he is the 3rd best player on Golden State though and they seem fine to me.

Max money doesn't go to glue guys.

[tke1600]

Both times they sat curry the Pelicans have scored a ton of quick points. They need to just keep him in until it's really over.

[razorsharp]

Didn't say superstar, he is the 3rd best player on Golden State though and they seem fine to me.

Max money doesn't go to glue guys.

Green being the exception. He is a really unique player.

He is the kind of player that would put a contending team who already has a couple of stars over the top.

[bulljh]

And again, NO goes on another run with Curry on the bench. Do you get it now Tristain...how important Curry is to the team? Clearly the MVP

[razorsharp]

Pelicans making a comeback Davis then gets stuffed by Bogut and then misses another shot.

Play worse Anthony.

[dapro]

Curry is MVP. Warriors are +30 when he is in the game.

[thecomebacker]

Curry clearly the best player in the NBA now.

[elee712]

And again, NO goes on another run with Curry on the bench. Do you get it now Tristain...how important Curry is to the team? Clearly the MVP

In his eyes klay is the MVP and curry is just riding his coat tails

[razorsharp]

1 of the worst 1st playoff games by a superstar that I can ever remember.

[razorsharp]

Davis has been insane these last couple of minutes.

Where was this all game?

[bigcwd2000]

1 of the worst 1st playoff games by a superstar that I can ever remember.

Not sure I understand your negativity towards Anthony Davis. He's still only 22 years old playing in his first ever NBA playoff game against one of the top 10 NBA teams (record wise) in NBA history.

Now he has 29 points on 11/21 from the field with 5 rebounds and 4 blocks. That shouldn't be constituted as bad.

[the27guy]

1 of the worst 1st playoff games by a superstar that I can ever remember.

I know right. 27 pts. 5 rebounds and 4 blocks while being double teamed by the best defense in the league. obviously this guy sucks.

[eastbayak]

Davis has been insane these last couple of minutes.

Where was this all game?

1st playoff game aka really nervous at the start. now he's coming into his own

[bigcwd2000]

1st playoff game aka really nervous at the start. now he's coming into his own

Bingo. The guy just needs to settle down and play his game. He has done that in the fourth quarter.

[IronMonkey415]

I could see the Pelicans taking game 2 on Monday.

[IronMonkey415]

33 points for A.D. HE's BACK.

[JustinVerlander07]

Davis sure did a nice job padding his box score.

[whodatbeastly16]

Trust me, Pelis will be much more ready next time around? Has Asik been playing crappy the whole game? Someone inform since I'm not able to watch

[bigcwd2000]

Davis sure did a nice job padding his box score.

Please tell me this is a joke? If not, what is he supposed to do. Quit? Go sit on the bench and watch his team lose?

[the27guy]

I could see the Pelicans taking game 2 on Monday.

They lost 2 home games the entire season.... I'm blown away NO kept it this close, but it's a pipe dream that they'll win even 1 game in GS. I'd be happy if they managed to not get swept.

[dapro]

Davis is really good.

[JustinVerlander07]

Please tell me this is a joke? If not, what is he supposed to do. Quit? Go sit on the bench and watch his team lose?

Not a joke, but I think you need to calm down a bit.

[bigcwd2000]

Not a joke, but I think you need to calm down a bit.

Why do I need to calm down? Don't understand where that is coming from.

[Rhyster66]

But but but Davis is an once in a generation player, he is supposed to be amazing

Hahahaa you were saying.

[eastbayak]

wow klay wow. self-confidence issues as i said. come on bro!

[JustinVerlander07]

Why do I need to calm down? Don't understand where that is coming from.

You seem upset.

[tke1600]

Game has been over since the end of the 3rd and the Warriors also having probably their worst FT game too as a team. They are good.

[whodatbeastly16]

Not a joke, but I think you need to calm down a bit.

Well, honestly, what is a player supposed to do? Go out there and get points and help your team. You expect Anthony Davis to sit down and stop playing? I don't understand your logic

[JustinVerlander07]

Well, honestly, what is a player supposed to do? Go out there and get points and help your team. You expect Anthony Davis to sit down and stop playing? I don't understand your logic

Just thought it was funny, that's all.

[whodatbeastly16]

Then you are telling him to calm down about it like he's a child when he's bringing up valid points against your argument

[bigcwd2000]

You seem upset.

Honestly I don't really care. I just don't understand some of the negativity towards Anthony Davis so I stated my peace. I would think people would be happy he is the great player that he is and enjoy it. I personally don't care who wins this game or this series. I just enjoy watching good basketball players.

[the27guy]

Then you are telling him to calm down about it like he's a child when he's bringing up valid points against your argument

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.

[howethegreat]

Honestly I don't really care. I just don't understand some of the negativity towards Anthony Davis so I stated my peace. I would think people would be happy he is the great player that he is and enjoy it. I personally don't care who wins this game or this series. I just enjoy watching good basketball players.

its because people are obessed with him even though he hasn't won anything. Yeah he is a great player but isn't top 5 yet.

[ninjacookies]

Unfortunately, too little too late. Davis had an insane 4th, but for the pelicans to have a remote chance to even take one game in this series, he can't take a quarter off. He's going to have to go Westbrook mode for 48 minutes.

[JustinVerlander07]

I like Anthony Davis and am a big fan.

Go Dubs, though.

[JerseyCP3]

Davis sure did a nice job padding his box score.

Can you explain this idiotic statement? How did he pad is stats? You make no sense brotha. Are you saying he's a scrub?

[JustinVerlander07]

Can you explain this idiotic statement? How did he pad is stats? You make no sense brotha. Are you saying he's a scrub?

It's not idiotic, it's just funny to me, so no I can't explain it to someone like yourself.

[tristan20]

Free time outs for everyone!

With so much instant replay reviews why the hell have 3 refs? Imagine how many games would be changed in the 70s, 80s and 90s

[xavieronly1]

It's not idiotic, it's just funny to me, so no I can't explain it to someone like yourself.

Looks like no one thinks this is funny, but pure idiotic comment.

[tristan20]

Why would davis make both FTs is beyond me, there is no way in hell you can win now because you made both and sealed the game right there

[whodatbeastly16]

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.
Thanks!
its because people are obessed with him even though he hasn't won anything. Yeah he is a great player but isn't top 5 yet.

Yeah I guess I can understand where you are coming from. Although you can gauge some of a players success based on winning, if you base it solely on success youd have Brian Scalibrine ranked above some of the greats. Pete Maravich never won much yet he is considered one of the greats. Anthony Davis has a ways to go, but he is , in three years, one of the most electric, well rounded, and generally good guy players in the league. Hell, wasn't he like one rebound away from a quadruple double?

[JustinVerlander07]

Looks like no one thinks this is funny, but pure idiotic comment.

That's fine. I just thought it's funny when come tomorrow, the media will want you to think he was amazing, when he really he was pretty terrible for most the game.

The great thing is I don't care what anyone else thinks.

[ninjacookies]

How on earth did Klay and Curry miss so many ft's down the stretch (2 best ft shooter in the league)?

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but that sure seemed like some kind of spread fix. Unbelievable.

[whodatbeastly16]

Unfortunately, too little too late. Davis had an insane 4th, but for the pelicans to have a remote chance to even take one game in this series, he can't take a quarter off. He's going to have to go Westbrook mode for 48 minutes.

+1 to this! I think the Pelicans might get one or maybe two games on the Warriors. I think this playoffs will provide the experience Davis needs to reach the next level.

[tristan20]

How on earth did Klay and Curry miss so many ft's down the stretch (2 best ft shooter in the league)?

I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but that sure seemed like some kind of spread fix. Unbelievable.

Adam Silver made a special phone call.

[razorsharp]

Perfect example of where box score stats can be deceiving.

Davis was terrible for 3 QTR's and amazing for 1 when there was no pressure.

[drobfan8]

If AD was playing against GS full bench, then yeah, that would be padding, but he wasn't, they were trying to get some momentum for next game.

this is how most of GS home games have gone. Over just after the half, curry gets a rest and the opponents come back a bit, then curry puts the nail in.

It's amazing to watch.

[the27guy]

1 of the worst 1st playoff games by a superstar that I can ever remember.

Ladies and gentlemen I give you one of the worst first playoff performances by a star in nba history----

35 pts on 13/23 shooting.

7 rebounds

4 blocks

While keeping his team close against a 39-2 home team.

I honestly don't know what some of you people expect out of this guy? 50 points a game? He's the best 22 I have seen. Period.

GS is going to wipe the floor w the pels. They're better at 4 positions and their bench is light years better.

He's 22. What is wrong w all of you?

[tristan20]

Pels have learnt that Cole will defend Curry all series, Davis needs to stop forcing it. Asik needs to stay on the bench. Tell Ryan Anderson to stay at the 3 point line and do what he does best.

[Kosmo Kards]

In the 2nd-4th, the Pelicans were better, but they couldn't overcome such a bad 1st quarter. Hopefully in game 2 they won't wait.

[tristan20]

He's 22. What is wrong w all of you?


Problem is he dug his team in a deep hole and then played hero at the end.
They kept going to him all first half and he was horrible.

The game is made of 4 quarters not 1. As I said is he wanted any chance to win why would he make the second FT towards the end? Thats just padding stats.

9.7 seconds left score 98-103, you only have one shot to win. Miss the FT and give yourself a chance. Make it and Game over.

[whodatbeastly16]

If you look at he stats which I just did, only two players shot better than 50% from the field and that's Anthony Davis and Alexis Ajinca. 2 starter had 0 made from the field and that's Omer Asik and Tyreke Evans. More players need to show up for the Pelicans

[Kosmo Kards]

It's Davis's first playoff game, he wasn't that bad. Not great, but I have definitely seen worse.

[JerseyCP3]

It's not idiotic, it's just funny to me, so no I can't explain it to someone like yourself.

Then why make the comment if you can't explain it? Lol. I took it as you think he's a scrub. Padding stats in garbage time I can see. But Curry was out there, Klay was out there, are they padding stats too? I just don't get your logic when says Davis was padding stats. Dude is a monster. And anyone here would say the same.

[ninjacookies]

I agree with most of what you're saying.

But either you weren't around when Jordan was 22, or simply are unaware of the stats.

Jordan averaged 44/6 and 2+ steals a game in the postseason at the ripe age of 22. I think Davis is going to have to match those numbers to give the Pels hope. No way in hell they can depend on Reke or Gordon for consistency.

[Kosmo Kards]

If they don't let GS get off to such a hot start, they can make this a series. GS likes to get a big halftime lead and rest their starters in the 3rd and let them end the game in the 4th. If NO lets them do that they will probably get swept. Also, who else for NO played well?

He's 22. What is wrong w all of you?

What were his numbers after the 1st 3 QTR's?

As great as he was in the 4th it didn't mean anything. His team was never in a realistic position to win at that point.

[the27guy]

Problem is he dug his team in a deep hole and then played hero at the end.
They kept going to him all first half and he was horrible.

The game is made of 4 quarters not 1. As I said is he wanted any chance to win why would he make the second FT towards the end? Thats just padding stats.

Yet, of all the starters he had the best +/-. Hmm.

For sure though, he struggled. He's going to struggle. This GS team is going to steam roll everyone. If I was a betting man I'd bet they pose less than 4 total game in the playoffs. Seriously. They really knocked the pels off their game. I'm just hyped they got back in it. And I agree w you that AD should have missed the second ft.

But the hate on AD is unreal. At one point he had 25 points on 50% shooting and everyone was burying him. I don't get that.

[whodatbeastly16]

If they don't let GS get off to such a hot start, they can make this a series. GS likes to get a big halftime lead and rest their starters in the 3rd and let them end the game in the 4th. If NO lets them do that they will probably get swept. Also, who else for NO played well?

Alexis Ajinca was 3/3 and that's it

[xavieronly1]

The great thing is I don't care what anyone else thinks.

And yet you still post in public forum...

I'm 32. I was just a baby. The pels have no hope. None. Zip. I don't think anyone but MAYBE San antonio does.

Ajinca was 3 of 3 with 6 points, 1 steal, 1 Reb, 1 Assist in 3:41 Mins! Why didnt he get more time?

I think Cunningham was great as well. Got some key Rebounds.

Pondexter was probably their second best player, he was all over the place.

Norris Cole for shutting down Curry.

To think that Evans only played 11:34 mins and he is usually their 2nd best player.

[thecomebacker]

If you look at he stats which I just did, only two players shot better than 50% from the field and that's Anthony Davis and Alexis Ajinca. 2 starter had 0 made from the field and that's Omer Asik and Tyreke Evans. More players need to show up for the Pelicans
Evans was injured early...thats why you watch the game, not just look at stats.

[ninjacookies]

I don't think anyone but MAYBE San antonio does.

I actually think the burden is the other way around on that one. :cool:

[eastbayak]

If they don't let GS get off to such a hot start, they can make this a series. GS likes to get a big halftime lead and rest their starters in the 3rd and let them end the game in the 4th. If NO lets them do that they will probably get swept. Also, who else for NO played well?

i think warriors SIGNIFICANTLY outscore opponents in the 3rd quarter

[tristan20]

Yet, of all the starters he had the best +/-. Hmm.

What hate? Its Facts!

You must have been watching another game. Even you jumped ship on them.

1 Good quarter does not negate 3 bad ones, not just bad. REALLY BAD.

[the27guy]

I actually think the burden is the other way around on that one. :cool:

I hope you're right. But I'm not sure they can even get to GS. The clips then the winner of the roc/mavs is a blood bath of a path for SA. For sure rooting for them though. Would love to see Tim tie MJ in rings.

[xavieronly1]

What hate? Its Facts!

You must have been watching another game. Even you jumped ship on them.

1 Good quarter does not negate 3 bad ones, not just bad. REALLY BAD.

If he only needs 3 quarters to get his playoff experience, that is pretty good already.

2nd most points ever in a first playoff game in NBA history!

[ninjacookies]

I hope you're right. But I'm not sure they can even get to GS. The clips then the winner of the roc/mavs is a blood bath of a path for SA. For sure rooting for them though. Would love to see Tim tie MJ in rings.

Today should honestly scare the Warriors. They pretty much let the game get to within 4 points in the waning minutes playing vs. basically a single player.

I have no doubts a San Antonio team with Parker, Duncan, Green and Leonard would have kept the game closer or even crushed them in a similar situation.

The thing is...Kawhi is such a game changer simply because of his defensive prowess...he can be switched off vs. any of GS's 1-3, even Draymond.

They're such a tough team to deal with when the playoffs start...they turn into a different monster.

[whodatbeastly16]

Evans was injured early...thats why you watch the game, not just look at stats.

I couldn't watch the game because I'm traveling to New Orleans

People forget the young not experienced warriors have not played really any games this year in crunch time up or down 5 with the starters in. And if ad realizes he can get by Draymond really easy then shoot over him in the post he should average 35 all series and win the series!

[the27guy]

What hate? Its Facts!

You must have been watching another game. Even you jumped ship on them.

1 Good quarter does not negate 3 bad ones, not just bad. REALLY BAD.

Umm. Okay Tristan. You're right. I guess they shoulda just subbed him out in the first and put in ajinca.

[tristan20]

The way I see it, the refs changed this game.

4th quarter NO got a ton more calls than they were getting all game.

We agree as usual. This was good for them I think. None of them are going to get complacent after a win like that.

Yea man. Sounds like AD brought the team back by himself a couple of times? 35 points isn't bad for first game

[Rabie1]

What were his numbers after the 1st 3 QTR's?

As great as he was in the 4th it didn't mean anything. His team was never in a realistic position to win at that point.

His team was within 4 with 9 to go. What game were u watching exactly? he lead them back in the 4th, when it matters.

[whodatbeastly16]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! When all else fails blame the refs! Makes sense.

[the27guy]

You're wrong dude. AD had a historically bad performance while scoring the second most points in a first playoff game. Read all the posts here and somehow some way that's what you're supposed to believe. ;)

[tristan20]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! When all else fails blame the refs! Makes sense.

Just calling it the way I see it man, Cole wrapped up Curry and no foul called.

AD going out of bounds, foul called on Draymond.

It just wasn't the same as the first 3 quarters. Draymond was pulling AD's jersey all game. Poindexter got called for a Tech for pushing Draymond (Flop) in the face.


Or AD just went nuts? LOL yeah Warriors defense had no answer, NO will win the series because AD finally got his beak wet? LOL

[whodatbeastly16]

You're wrong dude. AD had a historically bad performance while scoring the second most points in a first playoff game. Read all the posts here and somehow some way that's what you're supposed to believe. ;)

Thanks for clearing this up for me! Love the naysayers. If you are saying the Pelicans had no realistic chance in the 4th when AD brought to down to only 4 point lead, you are incompetent and ignorant.

[tristan20]

So if they had 5 points more they would have won the game Right? ok then

[whodatbeastly16]

So if they had 5 points more they would have won the game Right? ok then

Yea ok. That's not what I'm trying to say. You said that AD played so bad and they had an "unrealistic" chance to win the game. What I'm saying is that their chance was completely realistic. A 4 point lead is nothing in the playoffs, especially with 9 minutes left.

9 sec to go not 9 minutes. AD had a commendable effort in the 4th but it was too little too late.

[whodatbeastly16]

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH. My bad Tristan! Still think that te refs letting them back in the game is a joke

[tristan20]

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH. My bad Tristan! Still think that te refs letting them back in the game is a joke

I posted the reasons why. Next time watch the game and comment. Don't go off what others say and take sides.

Anyone that thinks AD was great must be out of their mind. Digging yourself into a deep hole then playing one good quarter and still losing isn't a great game by any stretch.

He had a great 4th, but what about the other 3? Shall we just ignore that?

[rookies]

AD had some nasty blocks in 1-3 quarters he kept blocking Klay who somehow thought he was quick enough to get a layup on AD? When AD was out they got smushed asik and ajinca suck. AD had a okay first half, but it was his first ever half of playoff basketball!! What do you expect? And third quarter he played 3-4 minutes and got out with foul trouble. SO he had a 13 and 3 blocks first half of his first ever playoff game, and an amazing fourth quarter great stats and nearly beat the top seed in the western conf...Ill take that any day. PS. Iam really trying not to sound like a homer but thats just what happened and it was a great game and an amazing first game.

[spurs50fan]

Count on a good game to make someone finally pay for an auction :coffee:

Good first showing by the young team.

[Kosmo Kards]

Truth is AD wasn't great or terrible. He didn't play well in the first half and it was too little too late in the end. However, he was able to turn it up late and it was a game at the end. It was his first playoff game on the road against a team that has 22 more wins. Curry and Klay missed free throws they shouldn't have and outside of Pondexter he didn't get much help, but that's what you want from a young growing superstar, even if you fall behind don't give up. I'm still not sold on GS though.

[IronMonkey415]

He'll carry that momentum to the 2nd game.

[topbasketballfa]

Some of the negativity on AD in this forum is ridiculous. Harassing him and remaining skeptical of him. Let's walk through memory lane.

1. Davis has no offense is only good defensively. He came back a year later, showing a repertoire of weapons.
2. Davis can't shoot. He established to become an excellent mid range jumper. He's now a superb two way player and on his way to be MVP and DPOY much like MJ and Olajuwon.
3. Early in the season when Davis's PER is off the chart, he can't sustain that throughout the season. yet, he ended with the 8th best PER in history and only Wilt, MJ and Lebron got a higher PER but no of them did it this early in their career.
4. Davis is good, great stat, but isn't clutch, not prime time, and won't take his team to the playoffs. He lead his team to the playoffs with a tougher schedule toward the end and was clutch in several games.
5. Davis is not a top 5 player, no way. Yet GMs and owners will pick Davis first to start any franchise and is the most untradeable player in the league.
6. Davis will not do well in the playoffs and will stink it up. He scores 35 points against a team that won 67 games, (only 7 teams in history has such a record or better), faced against a potential DPOY, and on the road.

Give it a rest people. MJ, Kobe, Lebron all had their failures early on. MJ got punked by Pistons, Kobe got schooled by Jazz, Lebron got whipped by Celtics.

[IronMonkey415]

Lebron got whipped by Celtics

Prediction for tomorrow game...I LIKE IT.

[tke1600]

For all those that didn't watch, GS had the game locked up at the end of the 3rd. They had a similar situation just a couple games ago where they were up so much that it didn't matter that the final score seemed closer at the end.

What I want to see is how AD plays when GS is playing strong like they were in quarters 1-3. He went off in the 4th but the Warriors were almost just trying to run out the clock with a big lead that shrank at the very end with just seconds left and FT's being missed by GS.

[cdub6238]

I'm still not sold on GS though.

shhh how dare you try and use logic...how irresponsible of you!!

Tyreke done with an injury early...yeah that helped..
Eric Gordon jacking up terrible shots and having 5 TO...yep that helped too...
Ryan Anderson 1/6 with 1 TO and 4 PF
Asik and his olay defense...

nah but lets put it on AD and HE is the one that dug the Pelicans a hole and only him

am i doin this right guys? :rolleyes:

im not even saying AD had a great game..as been pointed out it was average at best for anyone else, but well below his usual standards for the most part

but how anyone can say HE failed...or HIS play was the reason...

obviously didnt watch the entire game

[IronMonkey415]

That whole team will bounce back today, and play 10 times better.

[IronMonkey415]

Draymond with a minor ankle problem, wonder if that will affect his game.

[alldaytoplay33]

warriors will win by 20, i feel it!

[whodatbeastly16]

Comon Pelicans you got it!

[IronMonkey415]

Bring in AJINCA

[IronMonkey415]

E. Gordon hitting his 3's, a sign of good things to come.

[whodatbeastly16]

E. Gordon hitting his 3's, a sign of good things to come.yea I sure hope so. Stupid of Monty to say what he did. So unprofessional, of course the stadium is going to be filled and loud with all those BANDWAGONERS. Just kidding! :) :)!

[snomelcrob]

Not great with numbers, but I think we're on pace for 1000 3-point attempts tonight

[LeonfromNC]

AD and Gordon came out the gate on fire!

[eastbayak]

warriors playing playoff basketball like the giants playing playoff baseball (in the even years of this decade).

[bdoody42]

Warriors bench making up for the bad start. Barbosa looks like he is 24 again.

[the27guy]

It feels like everyone on GS is an all star. They can't miss.

[eastbayak]

bar freaking bosa

[drob50]

A Warriors win will allow my $3 bet to become $132..... come on fellas!!!

[eastbayak]

A Warriors win will allow my $3 bet to become $132..... come on fellas!!!

really? congrats on winning $132. you'll enjoy the 3rd quarter

[Nyfancam01]

would LOVE to see the warriors lose.

[drob50]

really? congrats on winning $132. you'll enjoy the 3rd quarter

lol, hopefully!

I put $3 on Butler to score first in Bulls Win and Thompson to score first in W's win. :)! Lucky guess... so far

would LOVE to see the warriors lose.

Is that because you don't want me winning a bet?? lol

[currycurrycurry]

Curry with the 3 to close the half ---- what a game!

[Kosmo Kards]

GS ends the half on a big note. NO needed to enter the half with momentum, not letting GS re-take the lead.

[thecomebacker]

Another MVP performance by curry.

[the27guy]

Pels don't have a chance. GS is too good.

[JerseyCP3]

Pels don't have a chance. GS is too good.

Yes there good, but we must be watching a different game. Pelicans aren't backing off. Pretty young and feisty team. Great game so far tonight. Much better than game 1

[bdoody42]

lol, hopefully!

It's because he doesn't want anyone else to be perceived as being equal with LeBron.

[bdoody42]

Green and bench crew really have been awesome tonight.

[tristan20]

Damn when Klay is hot there is no stopping him. Amazing to watch

[currycurrycurry]

Klay!! Playing strong. Love it>

[duwal]

how on earth did Curry get that pass to Bogut for the slam???

[the27guy]

It's seriously unfair how good this GS team is. They are just too good.

The only thing that can stop them is themselves. They do just a little too much celebrating for my taste. This is a number 8 seed they're plsying after all. Act like you're supposed to be winning GS.... Because you are.

8 seeds have upset 1 seeds (golden state knows this well, they upset the mavericks in the 06-07 season). you celebrate each victory and take it one game at a time.

The seeding in the West can be flip-flopped in so many ways. Anyone of those top 8 teams can beat each other on any given night. Just my opinion.

I'm with you, Adam. Can not stand the way they over react to everything... especially Curry. I know I'll get hate for that because he's the NBA's darling right now.

[Nyfancam01]

crown them now!!!! they beat the 8 seed two times at home... congrats!!!

[LincecumPC]

It's an emotional game, and the games for the most part have been close. It's so easy for us to judge and say don't over react, but if getting excited pumps the team and fans up, then do it. You're at home, get the crowd riled up.

As for the 8 vs 1 matchup, this is no typical 8 seed. You guys act like the 1 seed is supposed to be winning by 30 every game. Even if the Dubs are lucky enough to sweep, I doubt they blow them out in any game.

[the27guy]

I'm with you, Adam. Can not stand the way they over react to everything... especially Curry. I know I'll get hate for that because he's the NBA's darling right now.

Thx dude. Exactly. Not so much even celebrating the win, but It's like every made shot warrants raising the roof, gestures to the crowd, etc.

I get it, this is the best team in the league. I get it, Steph is the mvp. I get it, they're unreal to watch. Just too much celebration for my taste.

Hate to say it but I loved seeing asik lay Steph out in the 4th. That's what you gotta do to this team. Make them uncomfortable. Don't be afraid of them.

They're not losing a game in this series but hopefully the grizz can win a game or two. But if SA doesn't make it to the wcf, then this is going to be a short road to the rings.

It would be amazing if GS played Clippers every shot made would be fireworks and every shot made would hear a and 1 on the tv even though there would be no foul.
I am amazed the pelicans are hanging with the Warriors truly amazed. The pelicans are playing the way they want to as well. Klay is crazy I really do think if he was a pelican the warriors would lose this series. Pelicans team isn't good but giving Warriors lots of trouble. If its GS vs Cavs the cavs will get 25 offensive boards a game on draymond and those bigs.

[rookies]

Also I hated the foul on Asik because curry ran into asik who was still setting a pick. Then curry gets up slow and makes a big deal out of it and gets the call which was clearly not a foul on asik. I like cp3 more then steph and I don't like cp3 and his antics at all.

Asik was on defense, not offense. You cannot set a pick on defense and just block someone.

I couldn't agree more and I think it's gonna bite them in the ass. What goes up, must come down and these Warriors are getting a little ahead of themselves.

They haven't really had to face any pressure this season. Next round they're gonna face the team that's the best at pressure, Memphis.

But they feed of their crowd, the more they "celebrate" the wilder the crowd gets.

It's must watch Bball and it's great.

Or they could face Portland.... And Warriors would probably win in 5

Damn. I wish I could go into the future like you seem to have.

[drobfan8]

I'm more than happy to lay some $$$ on it if you wish?

Say $50?

You seem confident, put your money on the table:)

Ah typical. The guy being a smart ass backs down.

Maybe just keep your ridiculous comments to yourself, or put your money where your mouth is. You did pretty much disagree with my MEM vs GS call, but now you're backtracking? Weird.

Someone backing up their team when someone counts them out after 1 game shouldn't be considered being a smart ass, but okay then. All I was doing was backing up my team, sorry if that's considered smartassey in this world.

[Rhyster66]

You need more than LMA to replace Duncan! ;)

Wasn't talking about a trade or anything, just seems like the Spurs are working to try and pry LMA from Portland, and it could work due to being his home state.

[JerseyCP3]

Let's go Pelicans! Let's get off to a good start!

[LeonfromNC]

I still hate Asik

Worst player on the floor and in the building

[eastbayak]

beautiful start :)

[IronMonkey415]

Pelicans coming out red hot.

[bigcwd2000]

Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry are just incredible.

[drob50]

Uh oh.... it's happening again

[LeonfromNC]

Dubs are bombing away.

No one can beat them when they are hitting 3's like that

[whodatbeastly16]

FML man. If we don't win this game we gettin swept

[JerseyCP3]

I still hate Asik

Worst player on the floor and in the building

This is true. He's awful. Idk what happened to him.

[LeonfromNC]

D!ck move by Tyreke. Always pass ahead to the open man on the break.

[drob50]

That was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

[IronMonkey415]

Great game so far.

[JerseyCP3]

D!ck move by Tyreke. Always pass ahead to the open man on the break.

Meh, both weren't that far from one another. Pretty close I think.

[crazymj]

Come on, lets Pelicans have just this one please warriors.

[crazymj]

D!ck move by Tyreke. Always pass ahead to the open man on the break.

Yea tyreke evans always plays really selfish. I can't imagine he is very popular with his teammates. I love Jrue Holiday on PG so much more.

[LeonfromNC]

Now I see why Draymond didn't win DPOY

That flop was horrible smh

[JerseyCP3]

Now I see why Draymond didn't win DPOY

That flop was horrible smh


Haha. I had to rewind it Leon! That was terrible.

[jeg2315]

Ryan Anderson is such a little d-bag on the court. Is he pissed that he isn't Kevin Love?

He's got a Kendrick Perkins-level of unwarranted arrogance.

[cmisley]

The Warriors went from underrated to overrated and skipped the humble phase, and Curry is a female dog in heat.

Draymond better get fined for that acting job.

[JerseyCP3]

Drew Brees!

[JerseyCP3]

Ryan Anderson is such a little d-bag on the court. Is he pissed that he isn't Kevin Love?

He's got a Kendrick Perkins-level of unwarranted arrogance.

What???:confused:

[crazymj]

Haha, did anyone notice the guy mouthing "F#*#U" and giving the middle finger on live tv?

[bdoody42]

Big shot by Reke to end that 5-0 run

[JerseyCP3]

Asik is a bum! Put Anderson back in!

[LeonfromNC]

I swear Asik may be top 3 for worst centers in the NBA.

Didn't hustle on the foul on iggy got man handled on put back by bogut

Ugh keep him out the game on the 2nd half please
