It's quite sad at how the Clippers literally have no scorers on the team. How does a team in the NBA have such horrible offense? Reminds me of the Cavs only they're in the West.

I'm hoping Boston makes quick work of Indiana tomorrow, get ready for that sweep.
Nate McMillan is a garbage coach in the playoffs, 'Dipo or not.

These refs are shite for both sides.
Calling fouls for the most ticky tack of stuff, ignoring obvious fouls, and giving Livingston a T for the tamest conversation ever.

I'll never understand how the Warriors are the most efficient offensive team in the league. Yet other teams are nowhere near that elite as far as their offense is concerned. In a league of professional athletes every individual should be able to shoot, play defense, pass, and basically be considered a high caliber athlete in their own rights. Are every other organization in the league that incompetent in running their program?
I don't care how great of a shooter you are. There's absolutely no way everyone on one team should be a sharpshooter, I just find it impossible in that regard. Either they're not human or they're just that good. I don't believe they're that good and they're human obviously. So what's the deal? Just seems odd that every team sucks compared to them.

I dunno, you proposed the answer (that they are that good) and said you don't believe it, so I'm not sure what answer you're looking for. They have the greatest shooter of all time, another historically great shooter, and as a throw in somebody who will finish as one of the greatest players of all time and the offense is based around only taking high percentage shots. Being that good doesn't mean every other team sucks, but simply having that talent naturally creates a gap, and having to deal with it upsets what a team really wants to do as a gameplan. They're also playing the Clippers who made that Philly trade maybe not expecting to be in this spot. Against a team like The Rockets it's always looked closer.

Eh, I just believe they've benefitted from soft defense, moving screens, and wide open threes. That's why I can't say that I'm sold on them because the era of defense is lacking. The talent level is too lopsided and either the league needs to find a way to make every team competitive, or simply just close it down completely. It's quite embarrassing in my opinion.

Gallinari is having a game for the ages, and not in a good way.

They are that good and everyone else isn't That needs to change. If that really is the case the league needs to completely shut down, restructure contracts, organize teams to be better competitively, and a situation like Durant going to a championship ready team should be banned. It's a joke as to what this league has become in terms of defense and offensive capabilities.

GS built their team properly and was able to jump on a prone Durant. You don't have to like it, but it happened and it was never against the rules
They drafted 3 HOF players and was able to sign another one

It's one thing to draft properly. It's another thing entirely where it's one dominant team completely ruling over the NBA overall. I understand established powerhouses have existed in the past with Boston, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Even during their dominance they had teams that could compete with them and the talent field wasn't as lopsided as it is now. The league needs a complete overhaul, contracts need to be restructured, and the talent level needs to be even as far as both conferences are concerned What has been going on the last few years is why I find myself not caring about the sport. It's not competitive anymore, there's no intensity, it's emotionless, and similar to professional wrestling it seems like the result is a already decided.
