    Kerr and staff get a lot of credit for figuring out how to get AD out of the paint.
    I sure hope Steph is off again from three next game, but it’s unlikely.
    Going to be a very tough one.

    Just noticed Lakers went a perfect 20-20 from the line. Needed every one. 7 different players, and none missed. Don't remember seeing that before.

    This, and he threw the ball out of bounds rather than call a timeout. He’s absolutely one of the best players of all time, but I’m tired of the silly narratives, he’s not better than LeBron, he’s not better than Kobe, there’s also 2 sides to the game

    lebron might be old and injured, but never underestimate the power of steroids and a few days off

    He’s not even close to being better than either.

    Not to put the cart before the horse, but how funny would a LAL v. MIA finals be? The battle of the play-in teams.

    Yeah, there’s a loooong way to go, but IF that happened it would be fantastic because it would mean the C Bags lost already, and people wouldn’t be able to downplay the “bubble ring” anymore. Another note, I liked this point, we’ve taken most of their punches, just have to beat them one more time

    I said before the game that wee need 25 from AR + DAR + Rui to be in it. 36 from AR + Lonnie works too :)

    HUGE win

    Championship level type of win.
    Didn't play great, were behind for most of the game and still managed to pull up the dub

    how does HGH work? I think Bron would be better off asking Lance Armstrong for blood doping advice

    I am rooting for this honestly. Quiet the bubble nonsense once and for all.

    he was the best 12 minutes of lonnie walker's career away from singlehandedly beating us and basically taking the series last night. that first shot over AD was incredibly difficult and missed by about 1/32 of an inch. i was terrified every time he had the ball, all game long. iow, i think that stat is misleading.

    Curry's value is way beyond his shooting numbers .. How many layups the Warriors got in this game , especially in the 1st half because our defensive attention was focused on him ?

    He's the system

    the only real knocks on curry, imo, are that he's not a strong defender (and this does matter), and that he tends to wear down over games and seasons. neither of these are his fault, really, as they're just a product of him being small/thin. he's done a great job addressing his weaknesses in those areas, but they still exist.

    anyway, i'd have him up there with the all-time greats at this point. he doesn't need to do anything else to prove anything to me. once you're in that conversation, it becomes a matter of taste more than any objective fact, though.
