Yes great game vs knicks 😂
Game 1 29 FT's to Warriors 6 and Lakers only won by 5
I’m saying warriors in 5 or 6 because we haven’t even seen curry go all out in the first 2 games, and when it comes to adjusting the lakers can’t do much because they can’t shoot. 1st game warriors went out there going about 70% giving AD the Sabonis treatment, letting them shoot the 3, not protecting the paint and still can down to a game tying shot. Game 2 warriors went 100% for the first 3 quarters and beat them so bad AD and Lebron didn’t even want to play the 4th QT. Anything the lakers throw at them they can adjust but the adjustments the lakers can make is little to none because they can’t shoot the three and are fatigued. Unlike a team that can’t shoot the three you can sit and wait in the paint but with the warriors taking 50 3s a game, pass the ball 24/7, and doubling steph that makes defenders run 24/7 trying to close out on the open man. For AD he’s going to have a rough series because unlike game 1 Kerr adjusted and are rotating J Green, D Green, and looney on AD.
Warriors going to out run them and the lakers will run out of gas ⛽️ 😂
Why are they making perk look like stupid on national tv? 😢
Perk was fucked up man. He couls have been stoned, drunk, half asleep. But perk was out of it
By the way Steven A world show is a clown show
I love when curry plays the knicks in the first round
Steph Curry has just unleashed one of the most lethal strategy in world sports history in tune with Steve Kerr n Klay n Draymond Green. This facet is completely new to understand and comprehend and opens a new dimension to game of basketball all together. No wonder Curry is among the Greatest Goats of NBA and one of the elites who impact the sport in terms of the way it is played
Bro how tf do you guard Steph, his ball handling skills are crazy so it’s hard to pick his ball and if you tried to pick his back he’ll drive up the lane with his speed, if you play him far he’ll rain 3s😂
Curry is dangerous whether he's passing it first or shooting first he's the best in the NBA right now
0:15 did she say Knicks lol
Why when Stephen A start talking he approach that way lol
The thing that makes it so tough about defending steph is that opposing defenses is always going to guard steph because of fearing his “shoot first” instinct. The thing about that is it open up so many of the other good shooters on the warriors. If klay and Steph is hot,, I don’t think anyone in the nba can beat the warriors, the only time the warriors lose is when the rest of the team besides steph forget their basketball talents on the bus😂😂
ESPN RUNNING OUT OF TOPICS. 😂
This was pretty bad…just say we need to talk a little bit more about curry. That’s the truth.
Passing Steph is easily the scarier Steph as that allows his entire team to get going. Vando is good enough a defender to not need a double to still make it difficult for Curry to score.
when LeBron and LeAdam Silver wants Lakers and Celtics int he finals it will happen I tell you. parlays are higher this year then any years.
CJ respectfully and subtly correcting Molly with the Kings instead of Knicks is hilarious. The slight pause
perk hates the warriors 😂
CJ's explanation to Perk was bang on!
Warriors are playing their type of basketball.
It will take repeated iconic performances from both Lebron and AD to beat them in 7 games.
I hope Phoenix dusts Denver.
That will be an easy series for the Warriors.
I know two players that stay loyal to there team. Imagine Giannis and Dame Dollar on the same team. Get it done
You guys rule. Like y'all's style and chill demeanor. Question: at the end, rating the movie my dude drew a hard line in the sand with the definitive statement that you never give comedies a ten when rating from zero ro ten, ten being perfect. I assume since you were specifically singling out comedies, you will give out a perfect ten to a film in other genres. So, my question is why the hardline bias against comedies and flatout unshakeable position on the matter? Do you think comedies are somehow an inferior genre in the medium of motion pictures? Or they're just incapable of reaching the top tier pinacle of the artform that is cinematic excellence absolution? Do you think comedies are maybe, just by nature, being comedies too light fare to be fully taken seriously or by extension, perhaps an easier bar set for celluloid high achievement and thus, execution requires less effort and skill set than say, a period piece or topical searing drama or sprawling epic saga or bio pic true story adaptation? I was really curious about your mindset and criteria for arriving at that set in stone, deadset point of view.
I'm reminded of the quote from the great dramatic actor Sir Lawrence Olivia who was considered with Brando to be one of the greatest living actors to ever grace stage and screen. When on his deathbed, he was asked if it was hard facing his own mortality where death was so near. Olivia answered his last known recorded words with, 'No. Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.'
When Steph's alarm clock rings at 5am… you gotta defend him then …double team
