    Spurs came prepared and hit them early but Kawhi going out really stopped their momentum.

    Feel like this was more of Warriors surviving than them actually beating the Spurs but this series is over in 4.

    Spurs probably lost this one from a a Manu missed rebound.

    I'm still not at all confident that GS will beat Lebron. I hope either Boston or Wash exposes something anything about Cleveland.

    Spurs shouldn't feel bad about this, they were undermanned with an injured K Leonard and still managed to blow them out easily in the first 3 quarters. Pop is great at adjustments and Curry, Klay, and Durant are all never on at the same time, most of their games. Someone's gonna go cold each and every game. Spurs probably will take this series 7 games, they're great at home.
    Warriors shouldn't be happy, their two MVP's had to almost have 40 each just to beat them barely.

    The Jalen Rose/Danhtay Jones style of defending a jump shooter.

    On Aldridge...Jackson and Stan Van Gundy's brother kept calling him out when the Warriors were making their run. Step up and be the best player on the court or at least on the team with the black unis.

    Zaza's goofy a** took out Leonard. Last time it was Durant. Intentional? That's impossible to prove. I got no horse in this race. But as a basketball fan who just wants to see the best players play, let me just say I hate Zaza!

    Clearly intentional as he took additional step(s) toward Leonard after the release of the J .

    Plays like this one should warrant a suspension .

    As for the Warriors , they are pretty uninteresting to watch offensively to me this season with the KD addition whereas I liked watching them the previous 2 seasons .

    I have ZERO faith in Dubs beating CLE in the Finals. As for Zaza... anyone who thinks this was an accident, clearly never played ball in their life :p

    I really don't care about Game 7, I just need one of those teams to make Cleveland sweat a little bit.

    And yet Pop was ok with Bowen doing it for 7 years.

    28 and 8 looks fine in the box score but same old LA when the moment mattered.

    I know I'm in the minority, but I don't think ZaZa did it on purpose.
