OT: The Golden State Warriors..
- Thread starter PSU_522
- Start date
As a Spurs fan, i am happy to see Kawhi and Danny up 3-1 on the All Star team. Additionally sad that we couldn't keep him happy or SA could have continued on the success post-Duncan.
This is the first Finals game I've tuned in for though...

I’ve watched all of the games so far, my prediction was Toronto in 6 after the series was tied at 1 a piece. As much as I think that Durant took the easy way out I also think that it was incredibly classless by the Toronto fans to clap when he got injured.
Toronto is really well put together team...lot of lunch bucket guys and hard workers!
Like rooting against the rich--Alabama, now Clemson...cant wait for GSW to loose tonight!

Not intended to be a jerk response by me, but he went to Davidson .. it was his brother who went to Duke.
Ummmmm, I thought he went to Davidson?
It'll go 7 games because that's what's best for the NBA. You don't think the refs can even it up? Just watch.
Well, the officials don’t seem to have any idea what a foul is either.
The NBA gets harder and harder to watch, year after year. Pretty soon the players will be wearing shoulder pads and helmets.
Might just be thick, but what do you mean by Durant taking the easy way out?
Curry bashing should stop, guy takes more abuse away from the ball and when he drives than pretty much any other player, and very rarely gets the call (although he did finally get a grabbing call tonite)
I hate how the officiating in the playoffs changes how the game is played. Constant grabbing and tugging allowed, offensive players just lowering the shoulder and driving into people...

Exactly...if you can't appreciate what Curry does given his size, you aren't watching. It's a shame Golden State is playing this depleted. That said, the 5-year run has really taken its toll. As for the Knicks...KD would be a damn fool to go to the dumpster fire.
He just tore his Achilles on national tv, potentially losing next year. Easy way out? Do us all a favor and usher yourself to Hades the hard way.....#ignoreclub
Yep, Curry gets mugged almost every possession, meanwhile a Warrior breathes hard on Leonard and they blow the whistle.
and that's why I hate NBA officiating, so inconsistent. that last moving screen call on Cousins is definitely a foul, however, I haven't seen it called since the playoffs began....
Yeah THE EASY WAY OUT .. had nothing to do with tearing his Achilles. When you’re the supposed best player in the Game joining a team that had the best record in basketball history a year before just to get your rings is a chump move.
Thought it was a bad TO that Toronto took (and even ended up being two of them) with all that momentum. Golden State looked rattled, and was able to settle during the TOs.
Yes. Would be interesting to know what that was all about. Toronto did not get a good shot the rest of the game other than Lowry's drive.
I thought those TO's cost the Raptors the game. Although both teams were gassed at the time, Golden State had only one timeout left. Make GS take their last TO if they need to get their guys a breather. When you have the lead and all of the momentum, don't stop the game.
Don’t worry. With the way the inept Dolans run things, his going to the Knicks will never happen.
You do what you can to win championships. I’d rather have someone like that than one who chases the millions and millions to play for cellar dwellers like the Timberwolves, White Sox, or Bengals of the world.
Classy Canadian fans - we hear that ad nauseum.
Not so much, but I’m sure it won’t be belabored over for decades

And it’s not like he joined a championship level team and rode their coattails to a couple of championships. He joined a championship level team and became the man, knocking all the other players down a notch on the team’s hierarchy. Pretty impressive.
He’s no Karl Malone joining the Lakers for one last shot at a ring...and losing in the Finals.
I don't like the dubs but have to give them credit. They are warriors. I am also no fan of KD's but he did what champions do; leave it on the court. I have no problem with the fans cheering...we see that in every pro sport. Plus, I don't think the fans knew the severity. I don't like it, but it is hardly unusual.
On Curry, he is way better than his stats show. He pulls his defender 40 feet from the basket and takes another defender with him because you have to double him. Kerr is a great coach because that was his gig too. Regardless, that leaves two defenders way outside and the paint wide open for four against three. IMHO, he's up there with Jordan and James.
Finally, Dubs have been very very fortunate on injuries to this point. In fact, the first year they won the championship, every single point guard on the opposing team got injured just before their series or early in the series (including the Cavs Kyrie Irving forcing the Cavs to start Matthew Delavadova and back him up with a shooting guard).
Having said all of that, the Dubs are in the top five NBA dynasties (Celtics, Lakers, Bulls, Warriors...IMHO)

I didn’t really even have a problem with that. He had one year left in him and wasn’t going to win in Utah. Took his swing and missed.
It’s a little different when it’s at the end of your career as opposed to your prime.
