Really awful Draymond sequence. Foul a 3 pt shooter, get a tech, take a bad shot on offense, complain about not getting a foul and not run back on defense, watch his man knock down an open jumper. He just cost them about 8 points in 25 seconds.
I believe he holds the record for going from the league's most underrated player to its most overrated player most quickly.
The Thunder are a really bad matchup for him. Usually he's a lot faster than the opposing 4s, or bigger/stronger if opponents go small, but against Durant and Ibaka he has no athletic advantages.
Yup, and even when Bogut went out he played Varejao and then Speights. Zero minutes for the Green-at-center lineup so far.
Curry has been consistently extremely hesitant to attack bigs off the dribble tonight after PNR switches. It's odd, since he's usually devastating in those situations.
Because the big is usually KD and he's been smothering him all series.
GS can't feel great, they've gotten a generous whistle, KD has struggled and they're still only up 4.
Getting positive minutes out of this Barbosa-Speights lineup is a big plus. They got Curry and Klay a few minutes of rest. OTOH, Durant has sat only about 3 minutes so far and looks like he's going to play the whole second half. Something to watch for is whether his legs start to go on his jump shot.
Oh my goodness, I would love for LeBron to exorcise the ghosts for Cleveland.
Yeah - LeBron winning a title after coming back to Cleveland would be pretty special.
The OT against Portland was amazing but it felt like adrenaline. This is the first game though, since his injury, where he looks like himself.
Really? I thought that the first half tonight was sort of "uh-oh"
I don't feel like he's been at his ankle-breaking full speed but maybe it's OKC's defensive pressure.
He still doesn't look like himself. Those cross-over step-back jumpers have completely vanished from his game, and he's struggling to take big guys off the dribble. He doesn't have his normal explosion. But he's got enough weapons in his bag to get it done anyway.
Nobody is 100% at this stage of the season. If you're still playing, you're 100 games deep into your season. Just play.
I'm a Warriors fan so I'm obviously I'm biased, but I hope the Ws win Game 6 even apart from my rooting interest just because this series is awesome and I want 7 games of it. I didn't see a ton today though to make me feel confident about winning on the road. They'll need a huge game from Curry to do it.
DeAndre Jordan is first team All-NBA?! That is fucking insane.
Is he among the first 15 NBA guys (let alone 5) you would pick on any court, anywhere?

I'm in the same boat. If I'm laying down money... feels shitty to say.
Though Klay hasn't been hot either, so he could erupt and change the balance.
