He gets his fair share of times when the refs look the other way when he extends his forearm to create space on his drives. Seems like an entitled punk and I've heard a few bad moments off the court

That's what everyone does. Duncan is the king of the exasperated shock whenever he gets called for a foul, Love is the lord of throwing his hands up after a no call and complaining as he jogs back on D, and the entire Clippers including their coach all believe that the refs are personally trying to murder their families.

Not everyone does it. I also hate the Clippers, fwiw

Yeah it was hyperbole but just watch Draymond and AI tonight, point is James isn't unique in his whining ways.

I meant not everyone does it as much as LeBron

Ywah it's getting really frustrating to watch the warriors. The cabs are basically running all pnr's or isos with Lebron and that's it. The dubs need to stop rushing all their shots.

This is embarrassing for the Warriors. How have they played the same shitty offense for 2 and 1/2 games now? Where are the adjustments? Kerr is totally getting outcoached right now. They have no idea how to attack this defense. I wouldn't even bother putting Steph in the PnR right now. Either iso him on Dova or attack somewhere else. Their PnR offense is atrocious.

I would almost say put the ball in Livingstons hands and play curry and Thompson off the ball for a bit. Barnes is giving them nothing.

I agree after all the praise that's been heaped on Kerr all year I'm left wondering what has changed in their offense since game 1?

Also how long before the media starts their typical BS with "Does Curry wilt during big games?", "Curry isn't clutch when it matters", etc.

Hunting for three pointers like the Warriors do is shitty basketball. It's one of the reasons I can't stand them. It's not how the game was made to be played. I hope the Cavs keep winning.

If Curry were in the same sphere of a player that LeBron is they wouldn't have to adjust to defenses. The defenses would adjust to him.

And having 1 guy use up most of his team's possessions is good basketball and how the game was meant to be played? Basketball is a team sport, not a 1 on 1 competition.

I've been thinking that too, he's been playing the best D on Lebron and has actually hit some open threes which I found quite surprising. However, I think Green needs to be guarding Lebron and let Iggy hunt for steals, Green is too good of a defender to waste on TT

Curry is a really really good player. But Lebron is greatness. Curry might have nearly as much refined skill as lebron, but I don't believe he's on the same level given the physical package lebron was gifted.

Would it be ridiculous to say that curry is a short Durant? I mean, short lebron is bledsoe.
