2023 NBA Playoffs Discussion Thread

It seems like it has carried into the playoffs and watching their games it doesn’t seem off to me. They are almost always the more aggressive team and Golden State is settling for a ton of threes. I can’t speak for the regular season though.

Their regular season differential post Lebron meltdown was like better than the Houston Harden teams that were designed around foul hunting and not fouling on the other end… like by a lot. They aren’t the only team with a good non fouling defense that also drives to the rim yet their differential was like WAY higher than the next closest team this year. There is a whole basketball Illuminati podcast about it. I’m just saying it’s a little questionable.

Well see, he is a really good player, good father and husband and never gets in trouble with the law. But...... he whines to the refs (and is the only player who does i guess) and apparently said or tweeted something that disagreed with someones politics or something. China related or something? I really dont know either.

As far as stars go he complains to the refs a normal amount.

Agreed. And even if he complained more than most I still think the amount of hate he gets would be disproportionate. I dont understand the hate. Its weird. Maybe its just because he IS so good? People often hate greatness.

Yeah, I think even Steph Curry, who's not really known to complain, he does talk to the refs a lot, and he does actually get away with a lot on D. I don't see Lebron as very special in terms on complaining at leasts. Not really that much in terms of calls either. More than average, but not crazy. Draymond is way more under-called for sure.g

Makes sense.

The Warriors shot the fewest FT's per possession in the regular season, AND gave up the 8th most FT's. The Lakers shot the most FT's per possession and gave up the fewest.

It’s really not hard to understand and it makes even more sense when you watch the games.

And like MJ and Kobe before him, we’re all going to miss him when he’s gone. I already do, as he’s not near the athlete he was just 5 years ago. He’s still amazing. I love watching the great players. I’m older now so I can appreciate greatness better than when all I cared about was us winning. Those Kobe led teams in 2008-2012 were amazing.

How is that a surprise? The warriors Chuck up 29 footers nonstop while the Lakers live in the paint. Their best matchup is hammering the ball inside to AD. Their second best matchup is giving the ball to lebron at the top of the key. If they get caught up in a 3 pt shooting contest with GS, they’re toast. Golden state’s backup shooters are still better than LA’s best.
 
Warriors we’re 3rd in the NBA in total fouls committed this season as well. They foul a **** ton.
