    He isn't my least favorite target, even though I have been down on him. It's mostly because he's restricted and I don't want time wasted tied up in a restricted offer that will be matched. To get him you have to overpay, that is my issue. If he was a regular FA I'd be all for it, but I don't think we can pry him away from GS and I don't want to miss out on other while we wait til the last day for GS to screw us and match our offer if he were to sign with us.

    I don't understand why the Warriors have been blown out so often on the road in the post season.

    Curry has been so-so...and the entire team just folds on the road after just completing the best road season in history. They seem to give up at halftime. Its just strange for such a uber-dominant team to get slaughtered so many games the last 2 rounds.

    When they lose, they get WORKED.

    Steph Curry is either hurt or had his confidence snatched from his chest. I've seen him scale back when he faces a decent defense, shaking his confidence. But he also pulled out of the Olympics, something he said he was looking forward to early in the season, so I think he's still concerned about that knee injury. To be honest with you, before his first playoff injury against Houston, he shot the ball extremely well had 20+ in the first half against the Rockets. Then after the injuries, he's not been the same, especially the knee injury. Even in his semi standard games he still didn't look like he has during the regular season.
    But Klay has been a hot mess too, so I guess Cleveland deserves props for their defense as well. Splash bros looks more like the trash bros.

    Also I believe Tyron Lue will utilize playing without Kevin Love more, maybe sit him several minutes and allow the team to go on runs and build leads. I think he sees the results and they were positive so I believe they continue to go with the game plan until they get a comfortable series lead.

    This series is over the moment Curry decides to show up. He really hasn't looked like himself in some time. Maybe he is still injured and keeping hush about it.

    Injured or not, he better suck it up and start playing like he can. If it wasn't for OKC choke job, GSW would be fishing by now.

    Series doesn't start until someone loses at home. Right?

    I don't agree with this saying actually....to me the series starts at the beginning of game 1.

    i think curry's obviously hurt. that and the league has decided that off-ball holding and bumping is legal again in these playoffs. curry had to basically flail and flop to get a call on lebron in last night's game--had curry not intentionally fallen down, they would have said nothing about lebron's blatant physical impediment. i'm sure all this will prompt the charles oakleys of the world to give the "in my day..." speeches, but the league tried to clean this stuff up a few years ago and occasionally decide to undo that for no apparent reason (except lebron's team needs it?).

    THIS THIS THIS.

    Draymond after the game basically conceded that they didn't care enough about this game. This same attitude got them down 3-1 against the Thunder. What the f*** is that? This was an opportunity to put the dagger in and they let their foot off Cleveland's throat. Stupid.

    I see them winning Game 4 in a closer contest and then blowing Cleveland out back at home.

    Definitely. Same stuff happened in the Thunder series. I hate it. I hate the "it gets more physical in the Playoffs" argument too. That's stupid. Why should the game be refereed differently? It changes the dynamic and you just end up hurting your product when guys like Curry suck in the Playoffs.

    Cavaliers have made this a series, but if they wanna really put the pressure on the Warriors they need to win tomorrow night. Golden State is still in the driver seat.
