Traditional defensive 5 is a dying bread, as skilled as Steven Adams he was unplayable in the 4th

[NUMBERICA]

Defensive centers are a dying breed because Steven Adams didn't play 'enough' (25) minutes to prove it. Offensive centers are not a dying breed because Enes Kanter played 9 minutes.

Ok.

Where was Penes in the 4th quarter by the way?

I would say that durant and westbrook were a much bigger reason why they made it to a game 7 of the western conference finals against the world champs than Adams was.
Agree to disagree maybe.

Srs? Durant's choke job was one of the worst of all time.

I could give the same box scores for Westbrook but they paint the same picture. Those two and Donovan made this a mid-range jump chucking team. They were terrible. Westbrook kept them in the series at times but he didn't do it in a way that made a difference.

Their wins were based on "live by the 3, die by the 3". Curry, Klay and Draymond went cold for 2-3 games.

You may also have noticed the change in momentum when Adams was taken out during the series. He was ruling the boards, but as Boris says the refs were giving too much "respect" for Green. How you respect a guy like that, is beyond me. Curry and Green are getting too arrogant for my taste and I hope the Cavs take them down.

Well said. Can't stand Green after this series, and Curry's chest thumping got obnoxious. Same reason I don't care for LeBron.
