Stephan Curry is a great player and Mark Jackson is a great coach, first and foremost. Give credit, where credit is due, and The Warriors are playing fantastic basketball against the Denver Nuggets. The Warriors are shooting 53% on field goals, and 44% from 3-point land. The highest in the playoffs. Jarrett Jack, Carl Landry, Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes are all above 40% in field goals, and on top of that averaging 40 rebounds a game. Even with a healthy Gallinari, the Nuggets have no consistent 3 point shooter, and are getting decimated on the perimeter. Even without Lee, the Warriors are out-rebounding the Nuggets, and the Nuggets just look confused.
Something is on Kenneth Faried's mind, he hasn't been the same player since February. The Nuggets have not played the same type of defense the way they did in the regular season. It's not because of Gallinari's injury, that they can't keep up with the Warriors, the Warriors are are open for 3 all the time. The Nuggets get bunched in the middle, and get spread as fast as the Warriors dish it outside to each other. I'm almost wondering if this same team, if coached by Phil Jackson, could win a championship. Nine fucking years Karl, that's a long time. And the Nuggets' fans expect the playoffs consistently, you established that, but why the hell can they not get out of the first round. The fans aren't asking to be in the finals every year, but get past the first fucking round, come on. Once in ten years, really isn't a good average. Phil Jackson would love it in Denver, and that may be the only way he would come out of retirement. I'll take that.
