2021-22 NBA Thread: Bill Simmons furiously recording 2.5 hour long pod about how Boston is still better than Golden State (1 Viewer)

[Mister CIA]

I'm praying for a Tom Jones half-time performance.

 

[modogg]

Lol - that’s a horrible call, Horford ran over him 

yeah, the officiating seems to be doing it's best to try and keep the game competitive. Curry got mugged on that drive and simply seemed to be a  . i get they want ratings and want to keep it competitive, but it can get silly

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Those crowd shots pre commercial are…. Brutal 

 

[Navin Johnson]

Nice jump switch by Green to get that steal

 

[Desert_Power]

Warriors defense is a thing of beauty. 

 

[ShamrockPride]

Tatum needs like....a mental coach this offseason. Keep him from getting too high/low with the foul stuff.

 

[Navin Johnson]

Paint is open with Williams on the bench

Warriors defense is a thing of beauty. 

Putting on a clinic

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Day Day picked tonight to have his best game of the playoffs. 

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Green ballin out

Warriors offense is a thing of beauty. Great passing, Curry & Klay.

 

[Navin Johnson]

How is BOS not going in to Horford with Curry defending the post?

 

[Desert_Power]

How is BOS not going in to Horford with Curry defending the post?

That was hilarious

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

That was hilarious

Yeah Horford even threw his hands up in the air like “HELLO!”

 

[msudaisy26]

How is BOS not going in to Horford with Curry defending the post?

Or throwing it up to Timelord. Payton has been on him.

Boston seems desperate all of a sudden - I think Smart may punch someone

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Picked up on that as well. He’s real chippy out there.

 

[Navin Johnson]

He's playing dirty.  Pinned two guys arms on that FT

 

[AAABatteries]

One thing I mentioned before the start of the finals was I expected GS to win because they had more depth - still think that and that Boston players are tired.  It’s entirely possible Boston comes back and wins game 7 too but I don’t expect it.  I think Boston has just kind of run out of gas.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Curry with tape on his shooting hand index finger. Seems ok though. 

 

[wilked]

What a ####show

its weird to write, but being down 15 somehow seems much better than it should be 

 

[identikit]

I'm sensing a third quarter blitz coming up

 

[offdee]

Watch when Payton defends a guy who’s driving to the hoop. The dude swipes on dribble 2 all the time and usually is successful knocking it away. He’s figured something out.

The overall feel I've had too since last game. So many unnecessary extra games these playoffs they've played just due to losing focus. It catches up.

Haven't noticed it but will keep an eye out for it.  Lowe was talking about how BOS is all two dribble moves when attacking on the drive.  Lot of guys dip the ball to their inside hip on the gather.  Dude has quick hands though too.

Udoka's rotations have been really bad too adding a ton of minutes on Tatum and Brown.  Doesn't trust his bench.

 

[chadjohnsonfan]

I've no idea on the context but please don't call other posters ignorant. We can discuss things without going to that. 

@FBG Moderator & @Joe Bryant

So whoever has the Moderator keys, do you know who @Navin Johnson is?

That's Steve Martin's character from the movie the Jerk. I made a joking post from my @Jayrod account referring to this scene from the movie and just got a 2 day suspension for it.

Normally, I'd just laugh it off and take 2 days off, but this is probably the last game of the NBA season and I've participated in this thread for an entire season without incident.

I now know how Udoka felt when he got that T in game 5.... just a weak and strange call made by those in authority.

ESPN's BPI now has the series as a coin flip

Fancy seeing you in here suddenly.

But now that I got suspended after you reported me you make 5 posts in a row.

If you can't handle people quoting the Jerk to you, maybe change your username.

 

[msudaisy26]

Green to make 2 threes this game had to be + 1000

Can you just cool it?

That should be your goal

 

[modogg]

 giving Curry wide open 3 pointers is probably not the defensive plan Ime designed

 

[Frostillicus]

@Instinctive send me a PM with your address, shirt size, and stuff you like.

He had them on a very short leash in game 5 and consequently played Brown and Tatum 34 and 37 consecutive minutes.  If he lets them play thru it maybe they play with more confidence and Tatum/Brown don't disappear in the 4th quarter

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

30 is Otherworldly 

 

[chadjohnsonfan]

Yeah I'll see myself out.

 

[identikit]

Warriors have no fear

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

Steph finding his range

 

[Chris B.]

Not all 3 point makes are created equal. That Steph pull-up is scary as hell if you're rooting for Boston.

 

[Capella]

Steph hitting that 3 from the fake finals logo and then pointing to his ring finger was cold 

 

[NutterButter]

I have so much respect for how hard Curry plays.  Just the ultimate teammate.  

 

[modogg]

Yeah I'll see myself out.

seems like most the C's team has for this game as well

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Curry still not top 10 or have a legitimate argument as player of this era vs lebron?

 

[AAABatteries]

Jesus, that’s not even a ####### foul

 

[Chris B.]

Flop
