Yeah. Didn't see this coming.GSW have quit Cavs style on this game. Shitty shove from Durant and now Draymond. What sore losers

They did. They lost.Sill mind-boggling that an OKC team with Durant, Harden,,and Westbrook coudn't make an NBA Finals.
Is it possible that they're actually more unlikable than the Rockets? I'm tornGSW have quit Cavs style on this game. Shitty shove from Durant and now Draymond. What sore losers
Don’t be mind boggled. They did make the finals in 2012.Sill mind-boggling that an OKC team with Durant, Harden,,and Westbrook coudn't make an NBA Finals.
KD is so damn thin skinned and unlikeable, it's close between these teams.Is it possible that they're actually more unlikable than the Rockets? I'm torn
Oh whoops forgot about that year
They lost so quickly
why not 4?I'm going to allow myself to dream about a world where the Celts close out Cleveland in 5 and this series goes the distance, with both teams just beating the crap out of each other.
He was also on crackReminds me of the episode of Different Strokes where Willis could remember all the sports champions except for the year when his father died
Or overtimes?What's the deal with confetti for non-clinching wins?
Don’t confuse the art with the artistHe was also on crack

I’m getting way ahead of myself.KD is so damn thin skinned and unlikeable, it's close between these teams.
You can tell he isn't 100%Did I hear announcers saying Curry is hurt or less than 100%? Know he had that leg thing thatvkept him out for a while but is there more to that?
Game 1 of the 1995 Finals was pretty epic....Jet is probably thinking last time Houston played so well in the playoffs, I was on the team
Sure, if the player makes the basket and he’s fouled the basket will count unless the ref decides the foul was before the shot. Maybe that’s what he’s trying to make clear, but even when it’s pretty obvious and most announcers would say player X scores and he has a chance for a 3 point play, he makes that call of his. I don’t know, his “and it counts” seems unnecessary many times a game.Well, if it's on a foul it might not. I don't know the specific example you're talking about, but that's when I usually hear him say it.

Yeah, but I'm just wondering why that is, which will be particularly important if the Cs play GSW in the finals. Quick check of the internet shows that Curry thinks its endurance related but I know other people are speculating that he's not quite healed from the knee. Or maybe his ankle isn't 100% since he apparently injured it four times this season.You can tell he isn't 100%
Really? That's what happened during the 2016 finals?The phrase carries about as much insight as John Madden remarking on how one wins a game. Your 200 words is already far too much thought into something so trite.
A playoff series is a set of matchups and adjustments. Sometimes you figure it out when you're down 3-1 and come back to win, a la the 2016 Finals. Sometimes the matchups are destiny and your game-to-game adjustments don't work. Sometimes their adjustments to your adjustments creates an arms race, and the series becomes as much a coaching battle as a shooting competition.
Teams don't win or lose road or home games based on magic. There's not some cosmic force of "momentum", or players not paying attention until they're beaten at home, or something similar where such pronouncements might carry value. There is far less randomness in a basketball series than there is in a baseball series. Of course, it takes effort to think about the strategy behind what you're seeing, and most sports fans don't want to do that, hence they cling to such cliches... but that's not really the case with you or most people here.
I don't want to discount Draymond's suspension, but they clearly made a lot of adjustments throughout the series. My point, though, was that series score is not necessarily destiny. As I shouldn't have remind posters on a Red Sox board, of course... but for to anyone who might think such a phrase has value, it might be necessary.Really? That's what happened during the 2016 finals?
GSW lost at home in Game 7. They also lost on the road in Game 6. Draymond Green played in both.Really? That's what happened during the 2016 finals?
It's probably endurance but to me he just doesn't look great moving laterally.Yeah, but I'm just wondering why that is, which will be particularly important if the Cs play GSW in the finals. Quick check of the internet shows that Curry thinks its endurance related but I know other people are speculating that he's not quite healed from the knee. Or maybe his ankle isn't 100% since he apparently injured it four times this season.
It would be weird to me if the knee was still bothering him as they certainly could have let him take another week to 10 days off by sitting him against the Pelicans. That and the fact that in the limited amount I followed the Pels series, his knee didn't seem to come up in the conversations.
The ball has to come to a complete and significant rest. The way Paul and Harden have perfected their change of pace it is nearly impossible for an official to identify the ball coming to this rest at game speed. I've seen Harden get away with it at times but Paul's appears legal.I know they never call it but Chris Paul really carries the ball.
The Finals will probably suck too.6 conference finals games, 6 blowouts.
