    But the Warriors need to worry about how they're going to defend the Cavs athleticism. Iggy is hurt, no Bogut, what are they going to do? No one has a answer for LeBron, just let him have his typical game. But Thompson, Shumpert, Smith, etc are all a little stronger than the Warriors players. Harrison Barnes and Ezeli haven't proven anything. Who will they use Varajeo? Also Draymond is playing timid in fear of being getting in trouble again. Kerr needs a game plan.

    Part of the beauty of Game 7 is that Draymond can't get in much trouble until next season. Who cares if he gets another technical in the game? They're not kicking him out unless he gets two flagrants. He can play much more loose out there.

    You're right though that no Bogut is a big problem and the Warriors role players disappeared in an epic way the last couple games. Where is Livingston? Where is Barnes? Iggy is hurt.

    I think playing back at home changes things, but they've got to change their mentality. That starts with Steph and Draymond.

    Klay is the MVP is the Warriors win.
    LeBron if the Cavs win although before last night I'd have said Kyrie or even Tristan Thompson.

    these Finals are so rigged


    Adam Silver clearly paid Harrison Barnes to play like Wes Johnson

    This is an NBA induced game 7, I haven't seen such blatant handicapping the last 2 games since I've been in a racehorse track. Good job Silver, away!

    I can't blame Stephen Curry for throwing his mouthpiece. That's the first time I ever seen him so upset, but it's clear he's been getting mugged the entire series. He's the only superstar I've seen hardly get calls to go his way when players are blatantly roughing him up.

    This too. Imagine being Curry. The Cavs are shoving him, grabbing him, and pushing him around on a lot of possessions, and he's not getting those calls. Meanwhile, on the other end, he's getting called for these ticky tack calls.

    I agree with disliking Kyrie's game. ABD. Always be dribbling the ball before anything else. Lots of ISO. Opposite of what we're going to be doing and Golden State does, the Triangle does and whatever the hell Pop does with SA. Some nights .... maybe even an uncomfortable number of nights for an opponent he goes off. But ball stopper style of play.

    We have seen this with Kobe, Shaq and even Coward. On the other side we have guys like Bronnie, beard and Corey freakin Maggette ;).

    It's been disgusting. I wonder what Jaffe thinks in his heart of hearts watching NBA officials do what they always seem too often for coincidence .... capable of doing.

    This is exactly why he's so upset. THAT wasn't a foul but


    That's a foul.

    Really? I mean that's just an obvious example. There's got to be a hundred others. I'm sure someone could make a 9-10 minute video about it.
