    seriously

    the NBA's product is as bad as it's ever been with every game being a 3 pt shootout. nothing else matters anymore aside from making 3s. if you make the most 3s you win. that simple. it's become unwatchable

    golden state is a substantially better team, imo. boston will need even more incredible injury luck to beat them.

    i think people (including, based on comments, the C Bags themselves) have gone overboard watching boston play teams at half-strength. but we'll see. if gs healthy, i expect them to win.

    right, and if butler, lowry, and herro were healthy, this series would be over already, too, imo. miami was better than boston at full strength.

    boston's playing great at the right time, and their biggest dogs have been healthy. but they're not the best team in the nba.

    If, if, if. All that matters is C Bags gave themselves a chance... we didn't. Every team needs some luck.That being said, FML

    well let's go warriors i guess

    someone should tell curry and klay they got lucky in 2015 that kyrie and love were out and that KD carried them to the other two rings so they feel disrespected or something

    once again the two healthiest teams make the finals (and really the only healthy teams).

    yeah, i'm mad we burned everything down in an overreaction after an unlucky injury year, and a sorta meh team like boston having a legit title shot this year should make EVERY team re-think this idea that if you can't compete at the very top on paper that you have no chance. the 2011 mavs should have proven that point definitively, imo. or the raptors more recently.

    still can't believe lebron and AD--after having won a title--decided they needed another star. just so dumb.

    I hope the experience last season would deter LeBron and his yes man AD from interfering with personnel moves:Laugh:

    yeah, reading curry's comments about staying out of FO matters today really stung, too.

    so important to land high character guys as your stars. and they're so rare. td, dirk, curry--these guys can make franchises.

    Wiggins is playing at an all star level these playoffs. Curry is good at empowering and makes his teammates better. They still have Wiseman and Kaminga. Warriors title window open another 3 years

    i'm not as impressed with wiggins as others and don't think he deserved the allstar nod. that said, if i'm minny i'm a) pissed and b) asking myself why we couldn't get wiggins to buy into the supercharged harrison barnes role for us. think he needed to be humbled. and again, gs is a great organization with an unselfish superstar who raises folks up on and off the court.

    i'm going to be really disappointed if boston turns the finals into a mudwrestling event and wins. just sad.

    Yup, basically boils down to culture, environment, veteran leadership, and a strong coaching staff. Minny has lacked all of that since the KG years.

    I don't think Wiggins is elite by any means but he is a star in his role. With him thriving in what's being asked of him on both ends, his contract isn't looking nearly as bad as it did when it was given to him.

    he's still a big overpay, but gs can afford it, so who cares right? it's just like paying alex carus....

    Butler wanted it more tonight. One of the biggest ones of his career.

    Those knees got one more game in them? Knock off Boston then I don't care if he has to sit out the GS series.

    Nope, C Bags will destroy in game 7, 50 point win, not even close. Then they’ll go on to sweep the Warriors. Leprechaun supremacy reigns.
