So how do we counter if Kings go small (HB @5)? Would that lineup be smaller than our small lineup (Poole or GP2 instead of Loon).?

So, the trio is at 95 playoff wins together, needing another 32 to pass the Duncan/Parker/Ginobili trio. That's 8 series wins. Can do it by the 2025 playoffs if they win 10 games (lose in the WCF) every year. Another Finals run will put a big dent in that lead... if they all stay with the Warriors for another 4 years after this one, only need to win 6 playoff games/year to pass the famous Spurs trio.

Oh hey! L2M is kinder to us for a change (not that we care)..Curry double dribble was a INC. But so was defensive 3 sec violation on Kings. So was - HB should have been assessed offensive foul for grabbing LoonDawg arm on a rebound.

HA! FWIIW and probably already posted but Perks has "tapped out" on the Kings and is "waving the white flag". calls Dubs in 6. Come on in Perks, the water is fine. . . .

As annoying as people found Mark Jones and Doris during this series, I was hoping they would get the assignment for Game 6 over Jackson, and JVG ( don't mind Breen). Especially after muting SVG last night. Hopefully the Dubs win and we get a "BANG" or three from Breen at least.

OT: Insanity in the Euroleague round of 8: Real Madrid falls behind 2-0 at home (to their former coach), Sergio Llull commits a cheap-shot with a little under 2 mins to go, which leads to a brawl that culminates in Dante Exum being body-slammed by Guerschon Yabusele, leaving him on crutches. 21 players were ejected, and the game was stopped. Game 3 is on the road - in Belgrade.

I'd much much rather have the "hold me back bro!" 'fights' in the NBA than this.

Hawks no idea how to run an OOB play

Haven’t really paid attention much but has Bogdanovic been pretty terrible this series for ATL?

Giannis' trade kicker = Dray + Poole, just saying . . .

EDIT: not that Milwaukee would take this trade (or the one above), but Poole + all the youngsters works too, but only if you add in GPII.

Well Magic seems to think we got this in the bag.

Extremely entertaining game (and extremely entertaining DNHQ content, too). The 4th quarter defense was crazy, and the patented Warriors layup line started to make an appearance too, which was great. It looks like the Kings shooting is regressing to the mean (that crazy 1st quarter was basically the Celtics' 4th quarter in game 1), but they could easily have a crazy quarter or half (at least), so the Warriors still have to be very careful not to give up open 3's tomorrow. Elimination games are always crazy, so it's going to fun.

If Celtics don't make the finals after keeping their same roster while adding brogdon( and giannis is gone) one of Tatum or j brown got to go. Would they take Poole kuminga and picks for one of them?
