as i said, it will be more competitive than people give this series credit for...monster performance from james...smith is going to hear from his teammates and cavs fans about this especially if the series turns the other way after this...

as awesome as the warriors have been, it is worth noting that they have needed big slices of luck to make the finals and win...the kawhi injury last year that turned an almost lost game and what would have been a competitive series into a rout...hero ball from durant and westbrook in critical moments that allowed them to escape from a 1-3 hole in 2016, injuries to irving and love in the finals that helped them squeak through against lebron's cavs in 2015...

i have no words.

This week sucks, first Karius, now this

His face I feel so bad for him. Legendary performance wasted.

 

[nightprowler10]

Haha, can't believe I had to miss the game. Were the refs really as bad as everyone says?

 

[Anil]

the thompson flagrant 2 was questionable but the reversal of durant's charge to a blocking foul by lebron looked like a good decision on review to me...thompson stupidly aggravated the situation by shoving the ball in green's face while leaving...but nothing was as bad as what j.r did in the last 5 seconds...

Absolutely not.

 

[Ikki]

JR Smith is a ****ing moron man...how the **** do you not know the score?

 

[Anil]

klay thompson injured and doubtful for sunday's game as is iguodala, great chance for the cavs to win...

 

[Pratters]

Tight game. Could have gone either way, that one.

 

[Anil]

durant was spectacular...so was lebron...

 

[Ikki]

Durant kept them in the last two games shooting lights out. If/when they win he's the finals MVP.

 

[andruid]

It's almost over it seems now. Well this is looking a rather anticlimactic Finals. I am really looking forward to next season

 

[nightprowler10]

So glad I caught that game. So mad I missed game 1.

 

[Anil]

so that's that...k.d with back-to-back mvps...decision part 2 looming...

 

[OverratedSanity]

You guys actually thought this'd b a close finals lmao

 

[Anil]

lebron played the last 3 games with a bone contusion in his right hand...self-inflicted no less...felt bad for the guy for the first time...

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

You guys actually thought this'd b a close finals lmao

Haha exactly.

 

[OverratedSanity]

It was atleast better than last year's playoffs though. Enjoyed the Houston series a lot.

 

[nightprowler10]

I guess the Houston series lulled me into thinking the dubs were playing much worse than they were. That's what you get for looking at the scorecards rather than watching the games.

Congrats to the Warriors and KD. Wonder what Lebron will do now. I know a lot of people are looking at the sixers as a possible destination, but I wonder how much of a dent the Colangelo drama puts in their chances. One thing is for certain, where ever he goes next, he needs to play for a GM and coach with a spine that won't let him call the shots as LeGM.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

How would Simmons and LeBron even play together.
