The elephant in the room

I took a look at the thread title and the poster and (naively) expected this thread to be about something much different but more obvious.
 
I saw this game a lot like game 6 in the last series. The Jazz were nervous, tight, and unprepared for the intensity. Let's face it, Golden State is really the superior team. We looked like we were running in mud, they looked like they were all Carl Lewis. The speed of their game took us by surprise. We will have a tough time winning one in this series.

But I also see it as a wake-up call, like game 6 was in the last series. And if there is one thing this team has shown it is an ability to bounce back. I expect game 2 to be a lot closer, even if it is a loss. Quinn has shown he can make effective between-game adjustments. The team will loosen up a bit, make more shots. The D will adjust to the Warriors speed. But above all, like we showed briefly in the 3rd quarter, if we play aggressively we have a shot. If we play like we are already beaten, well we wouldn't have a shot against anyone.

Narrative bias and a poor choice of words. It's glorious how y'all NEED delusion to justify your arguments with me. There's no proof of what you just said, it's just your opinion, a theory. That all, not even a well formed one. Child please.

I'm here to discuss basketball not looking for attention. The levels of denial in this thread are hysterical. Not because the stat I've cited is deniable, but because of the source. Which is called prejudice.

Because it comes from me, it must be "fake news" amiright? Thats called DENIAL.Ha

What'd you have in mind? There's oh so many elephants in the room. The Mob mentality has it's focus elsewhere though.

Warriors can and will shoot better from three. But they shot lower percent this game because of defense. We did a good job of getting hands in their faces and running them off the line. Jazz also missed a lot of threes but the Jazz missed open shots. Warriors can hit contested threes but obviously it is less consistent. Hayward isn't going to miss that many wide open shots most games.

TY for an actual on-topic response. Props.

So we defended the three point line pretty well. Now we just need to shut down their runs and find a rhythm on offense and we got this. Thanks for the words of encouragement!

ah so your interpretation of this stat is that it's a sign of things to come? the start of a trend? Interesting.. Time will tell.. Lets see.

82 shots for both of us, they made two more than we did.

They shot 9 more FT's than we did. And at a higher percentage.

We had twice as many TO's.

And they had 7 more assists than we did.

It feels like we didn't play our ball offensively very well at all.



Review foul's... see what was good, and what was bad. Calm ourselves down a bit. Play us ball.

It's that simple? Enlightening stuff, lets see if that rings true.

true. The team looked like they needed a knute rockne pre-game speech in the 1st quarter.. they looked bamboozled..

and I mean.. how about the Shelvin Mack show in the first quarter... That was hysterical.. Come all this way to put the ball in his hands and have him take 5 shots in 9 minutes.. Thats really superb tactics against this all-star team they're trying to beat. What a sham.

Which part? I love hoaxes and watching imbeciles waste ample time on them. Surely u can provide us with a thorough debunking if it's fake. the stage is yours Inspector Clouseau.... We await a debriefing.

do you deny that the Warriors shot 24% from three? Is that where your denial stems from? did the statistician do a miscount? was there a 3 that the player had a foot on the line and should've been called a 2? Is there some incongruence? or is the incongruence really between REALITY and what you WANT TO BELIEVE??
