Sure seems like Curry has a little front runner in him. Team is almost always ahead, so it's hard to know for sure, but when they are trailing or in a tight game, he seems to get cold pretty often.

West clearly should get a tech; don't think Thompson would unless West gets a second for that bumping/kissing routing with Thompson.

Agree with you guys on Smith

How does Thompson get a technical for the pushing and shoving with West, but West doesn't get one for the same thing? These refs literally make shit up.

Cleveland getting outscored 16-6 at the free throw line. The difference is 11 points in the game right now. Anyone else think Cleveland is playing less aggressive and settling for more jumpers than Golden State? Because Cleveland has only taken 11 3's to Golden State's 19. Refs aren't calling the contact inside the same way on both ends.

I swear I see the same thing in him but I am biased as hell against him so I don't trust myself to make a fair call

LeBron is a better player. Durant is a better shooter and fits this Warriors offense perfectly but he's not better than Lebron.
If they had switched teams before the series started, there's no doubt in my mind that the series would have been an epic sweep. LeBron is still clearly the best player in the game.

That team could go 98-0 if they were healthy

Lol at people calling for a West ejection. It a good thing you kids weren't around for 80s and 90s basketball when that sequence would result in a common foul. And Smith had absolutely no reason to push West there.

Isn't it possible that you have the correlation backwards: When Curry is playing well, the Warriors play well...and when the Warriors play well, they are in the lead more often?

Not sure what the 80s have to do with it. And I don't think anyone is complaining about JR's tech. He deserved it. But if you TT a technical, you must give West his 2nd. You're saying TT gets a technical for exactly what West did to TT. That's not equitable.
