So long as the Cavs don't win it, I'm good.
NBA Playoffs
No intensity at all from GSW tonight. Effort was poor on the boards and on D and settled for contested 3s most of the night. Curry's body language makes you think this is like a December regular-season game to him. No fight in SC while CLEV bodies him wherever he goes. He needs to play with a chip on his shoulder, which he hasn't done since the OKC series. And Klay has been off most of the series. His shot is just way off. Wonder if his legs are tired from carrying so much of the load in the postseason. Green mailed it in, too.
If CLEV wins Friday, I wouldn't be surprised to see them win in 7 like I predicted before the series. Will be interesting what Lue does if Love returns for game 4. I'd bring him off the bench for 12-15 minutes and stick with the game 3 lineup until GSW shows it can handle it.

Curry's effort is reminiscent of the effort D Rose gave when he had the mask on at the start of the season. It's like he really doesn't even care.
I used to make fun of people who said him chewing on his mouth guard bothered them, but it has grown to bother me when he is playing how he has in these finals, not sure why just poor body language from a 2 time MVP being invisible on the court.
What should the Cav's do with Love? Bringing him off the bench and hoping he plays well with the second unit is the only option IMO. If he keeps getting exposed starting his trade value keeps plummeting.

The NBA loves LeBron. He gets away with more fouls and egregious plays than any other player in the league (ask Biyombo about that) and gets Green suspended, too, not to mention his super ego and passive-aggressive media comments, his incessant whining to refs without ever getting T'd up and his thuggish behavior on the court. He's the most reviled superstar player in the league since Reggie Miller, yet because of his incredible talents the league kowtows to him. Hopefully GSW finds a way to still win Monday night and their fans shower Adam Silver with boos during the trophy presentation. Otherwise, this series could go 7 games thanks to the league's capitulation and desire for a long series.

Yep money talks and they need a game 7. Lebron intentionally walked over Draymond and he got up to defend himself.
A perfectly fitting end to this would be Lebron manages to lose a do or die game without one of the other teams best players, then leaves Cleveland again. He is pretty mentally weak and that Golden State crowd is going to let him HAVE it.
The crowd will boo and mock him all game long and deservedly so. He's one of the most unpopular superstars in NBA history due to his poor attitude on and off the court. He could have been as popular as MJ if not for his petulance and whiney self-centeredness.

This is great basketball to watch tonight. The craziest part about Steph being the best shooter ever is that the guy closest to challenging him might be his backcourt mate....

1st half was awesome all the way around. Second half not so much at least for GS, Curry had an off night. Let's see how things go with Draymond Green back in the next game.
LeBron and Kyrie were amazing tonight.
Lol, Green got himself suspended. Did LeBron instigate it? Yeah, but there is nothing wrong with that.
The NBA and its love for LeWhine got him suspended. Green didn't even connect with James. Most media disagreed with the decision, including Van Gundy and Barkley. The only people who agreed with the decision were Cavs fans.

Absolutely nothing Draymond did in that situation was suspension or flagrant worthy. Golden State would be 2x champions today if not for that decision which is the NBA trying to make more money. Lebron basically dragged his you know what over his head when he didn't have any reason to there was room to step left and right. Any man would react to that.

There is also no doubt in my mind Steph is injured. He isn't even trying to get open.
A few days after the finals we will hear of a knee scope or something as such.

+1. He has little quickness now, and his first step is gone. During the regular season, he could drive by any defender with ease. Now he struggles to dribble past even Cleveland's bigs. Wouldn't be surprised if we find out he has knee surgery this offseason. That's another reason why the NBA's bogus decision on Green probably cost GSW the title. I think CLE wins in 7 now. Adam Silver will need a massive security detail after game 7 in Oakland.
I think it was cheap, but Green put himself in that position in the Thunder series, not Lebron's fault. Still 2 games to go & GS still just needs 1... Cavs live for another day, but if Golden State can't win #6 or # 7 then no guarantee they win last night anyway.
It's like the 4th time Draymond has gone for somebody's groin. He probably should have been suspended in the OKC series. This is not an isolated incident.
I'm as passive an NBA fan as they come, but this game 7 was very fun to watch. Very happy for the city of Cleveland, and despite being in the minority, like LeBron James.

Now the Cubs just need to win the World Series and we'll know for sure the end is nigh.
Haha, that's great. Thanks for sharing.
