Blame Chuck Daly for what the NBA has become today. Go back and look at the Lakers and Celtics of the early 80' or my favorite team the 1977 Portland Tail Blazers. People cutting to the basket, all five players involved in the offence, it really was a thing of beauty. Today it is all about the defence and the way it is played and called is ruining the game.

On offense, I don't know what the hell you are talking about. Do you even ever watch their games? The do not just isolate. If it's street ball, garbage ball, or whatever BS name you want to call it, then why do the Warriors lead the league in scoring, points in the paint, causing turnovers, and I believe points off turnovers. |

They can play defense when they want to... Why would they ever NOT want to? That's bull crap and you know it.

Golden State is dead last in the league in points allowed per game at 108.0. Their point differential is not all that good either at 2.9 ppg, for 12th in the league. So the shitty defense is not all just the product of pace. If they placed at a fast pace and still played defense you would see a bigger point differential. Golden State is 22nd in the league in opponents FG% Golden State is 20th in the league in opponents 3 point FG% Golden State is 22nd in the league in defensive efficiency A few offensive stats 17th in the league in Assist ratio (giving support to the isolation basketball that doesn't run an offensive theory) I'm sure you think they are first in the league in offensive efficiency, but you are wrong they are only 4th. You would think since they don't know a thing about defense, that they would at least be first in offensive efficiency. |

The Warriors are 0-12 the game after NorCal comes on CG to tout their previous victory.
Clockwork. |

After 8 straight quarters against this team, here is the reality: the Warriors lost once after giving up a 15+ point lead one night and a 20+ point lead the night before against a team that isnt even playing with 2 of its star starters. If what you say is true, then the Warriors just didn't want to play defense either night, I guess. I can see the allure of watching these guys play....they are always throwing up quick shots, they shoot a ton of 3s, they are always busting out a new retro uniform every few games, and pull up for quick 20 foot shots even when they have a 3 on 1 fastbreak. And since they are dead last in the NBA in points allowed, it allows the other team to score a lot, as well.....so if that is exciting to you, then no wonder the Warriors are your team. I find it more exciting when a team has a legitimate shot at winning a title over the course of four 7-game post-season matchups. The Warriors clearly have no shot at doing that, but they will likely win a few games in the first round by scoring 130 points and giving up 118.

Don Nelson, Warriors Coach: Tonight is yet another night when we have no need to play any defense. We can play it when we want to and tonight is not the night. So, shoot threes, do crazy stuff, I don't care, but whatever you do, don't play defense. We just don't want to.
Good one NorCal...seriously, are you this dense or do you just think its charming to spout off nonsense like this? Play defense when they want to...hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha.
