I mean Luka just made Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson looks like absolute babies despite PHX's 'elite' defense all season.


Anyone other than Draymond guards Luka 1v1 it will automatically become BBQ Chicken. And if Draymond picks up 2 fouls in the 1st Quarter or 3 in the 1st half, Warriors gonna have it really tough

We have Green, GP2 if available, Thompson, Wiggs, and Curry that can guard Luka; our defense iq is top tier. The Dubs will make it hard for him to score; as soon as those threes dnt go in. Let him shoot under 30% from three, and watch the dubs dominate. Hes not that good of the 3 point shooter, but you make it difficult on the perimeter anyway, let him drive in the paint; green, Thompson, and looney being a big body will make it difficult as well. Phx choked; and gave up in a game 7. But draymond could get in foul trouble. Depends on the ref

Luka can have all the 1v1 he wants. Warriors BBQ chicken over the Mavs franchise. Curry is about son Luka; cant wait.

And for Warriors Fans. good Luck with the Mavs. Luka Can't Miss. but even if Luka can't miss. u should guard them Shooters. Don't be Like My Suns. they really look (excuse me) DUMB by letting them shooting. Thats Why we Lose by 40

 

[park_min young]

Honestly Luka is the best player in the next series, Warriors are the better team. They should stop Dinwiddie and Brunson instead
It also depends if Curry, Klay, and Poole gets hot but so far they were inconsistent
It will come down to grit which the Warriors have more than Suns imo so I have them winning
Suns choked from the pressure

Celtics-Heat series also gonna be great

 

[Fuckthis3]

Trae had his shine last year in a conference finals as a 5 seed now Luka getting his turn in the conference finals as the 4 seed ironic they def made a bet who goin get farther to the finals lol

Watched this game at the beach bar so ya know I was talking hella shit

I got a few losers to slander here too

 

[ShinmenTakezo]

Maybe Luka will do a Nowitzki, who knows, though i would argue the latter had better and more consistent role players, at least from what i remember.

 

[Roo]

Memphis should have won that, the final minute was a mess offensively. Jackson Jr is gonna have a good series, GS simply lacks the size and if he continues to avoid accumulating fouls don’t really see him having a bad game. It looks like they gonna keep daring Ja to shoot, he’s an improved shooter over last year can’t really bank on him missing too many wide open 3s. Tho Dillon Bricks could build a house with all the bricks he was throwing up.



Man Celtics fans don’t know how lucky their team is that they don’t have to deal with Middleton, still the Bucks continue to prove they are the best team in the East.

Bucks in 6-7.

Predictions:

Bucks - Celtics 4-1
Bucks - Heat 4-0
Bucks - Warriors 4-1

Jayson “you'd better win MVP this year, because it's mine next year” Tatum woke up feeling DANGEROUS 🔥 🔥 😈

Stephen A Smith is a damn fucking clown. Also really hate he always tries to call himself the consummate Knicks fan (and every 'casual' bandwagon fan believing everything he says) when he spent most of his life in Philly

He kinda did actually

Celtics vs Heat will be a close series. If Bucks advanced to the ECF, there was no way that Heat would be able to stop Giannis since Boston is a better defense team. Now, however, Heat has really solid offense and can compete with Boston. Feel like Boston in 6-7 but Heat may also get this one.
Warriors vs Mavs will depend on lots of factors, it is essentially Luka vs Curry, Klay and Dray (plus Wiggins and Poole) and as good as Luka is, Mavs will lose the matches where 2-3 of Warriors players go off. However, Warriors may also be prone to choking. Feels like Warriors in 6 but tables may turn anytime.

I may overreact but is it me or Heat looks like a bunch of children with questionable physique playing with Jimmy Butler who looks like a big brother to most of them?

For real. They look like high schoolers. I don't think Celtics vs Heat will be a close series. Heat might take one or two games but the ones in which Boston wins will be a violation in a lot of aspects from a viewer standpoint.

Hory Shit, Barnes put Bev in his place

 

[Nidai_Kitetsu]

Pat Bev went a little overboard in the end but he was not wrong with his Curry-CP3 comparison. Curry is on a different level.

CP3 constantly underperforms and some people still call him the point God or a top 5 PG of all time.

Mavs getting swept.

How can the Warriors stop Luka?.... With suffocating defense. The real question was, how can the Mavs stop that offensive fire power from the GSW? short answer, they cant. It will become clear, when Curry score 40 in their house.
