raps in 6
Raptors in 4 would be the correct answer
you’re probably right, though the joke seems awkward considering how good the raps are this year.
fingers crossed!

Wall has a history of bad decisions, so that’s no surprise.
A lot of salt/tears this year for these three teams.
You won’t argue against it because you can’t. You ignored the 3-point stat b/c there’s nothing to argue against. No matter what other defensive stats you throw out, if they don’t hit 3s (which obviously rarely happens), they have trouble stopping the opponent enough to the point where they either lose or the game is close enough for them to lose.
You call my P&R statements wrong, but your idea is literally hope he misses. Let’s play him off the P&R the same way we do everyone else, even though he’s quite possibly the best shooter ever (he does it throughout the rest of his career and he will be), we’ll just hope he misses. But I’m the one that’s wrong.
On the other hand, we could force the ball out of his hands, which has worked for teams who have managed to either beat them or keep the game close. But yea you’re right - it’s better to hope that he just misses - even though it’s been proven that doesn’t work.
But yea, whatever. If you don’t like what I have to say, you don’t have to respond. It’s not about me being right or wrong, it’s about your inner fanboy being unable to take any slight criticism.
i’m not ignoring it. its a stupid point. warriors shoot the 2nd most 3s in the game. curry makes 210/575 total 3pt shots (36% of the teams total). you want to sell out on curry so that the other 64% of what the warriors make are uncontested in 4v3 situations. i’ve said it multiple times. just watch the last cavs game and see what happens. you saw it in games 4-6 in the finals last year. you said it was the best idea as iggy made 3 after 3 and won that series.
as a defense you want to force the hardest shot. anything 4v3 is automatically not the hardest shot. making curry shoot a 30 fter might very well be the worst shot you can make them take even if he can hit it.
as for not hitting 3s, you’re using a really small sample size to prove a really dumb point: how man games have even been close, much less losing for the warriors this year? warriors have lost 2 games wearing the slate uniforms. they lost 2 games on saturday. just as equally relevant as quoting the 2 games they lost when making under 8 3pters a game. they beat the cavs making 5 3pters. they beat up utah by 18 only making 9 3pters. they’ve also had close games where they made 16 3pters vs the raptors and only won by 3. they hit 17 against the clippers and only won by 7 after a late game parade to the free throw line. there is no correlation between them having close or blow outs simply based on 3pts made, which is why is a stupid point.
edit: JUST TO BE CLEAR - here is a graph with warriors 3pts made vs game score difference (games sorted by 3pts made). you tell me that warriors 3pts made correlate to whether a game is close or not.

a smart person would have come corralation for their damning evidence, but nothing you say makes is rooted in reality and it just absolutely wrong. there literally hasn’t been a single thing you have said outside of warriors being 18th in points allowed per game that has been close to factual, and even that was easily thrown aside.
and just so we are clear, i have been equally as at odds with you about 76ers, which i have had a much better track record about as well. calling me homer is a pretty weak retort.
cavs struggling against the team i cant help but like
the timberwolves
hopefully this nonsense gets fixed before the playoffs
and the chart you have is pretty cool along with showing the possessions aligned with defensive rating
I’m just soaking in this Raptors win streak because you never know when dark days will return. The outcome of the next three games will be interesting. The Raps have dominated the Wiz this season, but have lost to New York. They haven’t played Detroit yet. Still, it’s very possible this streak can reach 11 before the long road trip. Things are really clicking for this team.
^^^ Remember what you told me? Let it go.
Takes this opportunity to practice what you preach and move on. =/
I’m still trying to soak in the fact that Josh Smith was what we needed to get things rolling all along… Talk about bad comedy, but nonetheless
dead.
Heat have not had this ball movement all season. It’s as if they watched the Warriors last night and got inspired or something.
Weren’t the Clippers playing well without Blake Griffin? I could see some trade speculation done from the media, but whether or not the Clippers bite into it is the question.
Teams like the Nets piss me off. They play like hot trash against everybody else, but when they see the Heat they go ham. Bargnani decides to have his best game of the year against us. Ellington had his last time they played.
Just glad we didn’t let them embarrass us again.
Had a blast tonight at he Barclay’s our seats weren’t al that close but I manage to creep up and get a couple of shots before security started Trippin’
With them actually doing well without him and this bad press with his assault I wouldn’t be surprised if they actually do trade him.
Dirk looks like he could play for another 3 years, people forget that he and Kobe are the same age
Dirk is 7’ with a great shot…anyone with that literally could plat as long as they wanted. Screens into jump shots for days
atl taking offers for teague or schroder. let someone else’s offer decide who they are going to go forward with.
Can’t wait for Geo’s rant when Whiteside gets traded
