This moment when your main star drops 47 and you still only win because Curry and Klay had a bad day

This is the first game I saw Ja play and I am not a fan of his game.

he obviously tripped him

Lol I forgot you from Boston. Yea he tripped him, but he still was physically dominating him before the trip which is why they put Grant Williams on him this game.

 

[park_min young]

game 2 so unlucky for Warriors, how they shoot that bad and they lost a valuable player. Even if they win this series, I don’t think they can beat Suns without GP2
I lost money from betting too which sucks

Players like Ja are the perfect example of how current NBA rules protect flashy players.

He is fantastic, he ain't a bum that's a no. But he uses his explosiveness and quickness to force what I call "Tap me foul".

His playstyle makes you risk attempting to tap the ball away from his hands and because he is so quick and pretty small build for a player he gets most of the calls for his benefit. This is so annoying because you either risk tapping him and taking the ball away from him or allow him an easy bucket.

He will be a pain in the ass for GSW in the upcoming games, they must adjust their defense.

Yep I agree. I am not a fan of those tap me fouls. The thing that bothered me was that he was going left the entire game. The one time he did go right, he passed the ball away. I don't know why the Warriors didn't just force him right instead of left.

Yeah Kerr would adjust their plan against Ja, they also had bad execution late in the game. Klay even traveled at a crucial point. The upside for them is that even with such bad shooting and turnovers, they only lost by 5 points
They really shouldn’t be missing open shots though, the game was theirs even if only 2 more 3s went in. 7 for 38 is just horrible

 

[Roo]

didnt watch the game but both Jaylen and Jayson played like shit, and we held the bucks to around 100?

Celtics in 6

Dillon Brooks needs to be suspended like 2 games minimum imo. That was ridiculous. I haven't seen something like that in a long time, dude gave Payton a thunder bagua across the head with no intent to go for the ball, while he was completely vulnerable, cost him maybe the entire season.

it was probably motivated by Draymond's jersey pull of Brandon Clarke midair in Game 1 but still went too far in Game 2, almost immediately to start the game like it was intentional too
