Why is Lebron the only one who gets held to this standard? KD has now had 9 seasons and he hasn't won his first chip yet. GSW have been widely considered the best team in basketball currently all season. Does that excuse LeBron, no, but if he plays well but Kevin Love does one of his 4points, 3 rebound shooting 1 from 10 games is that LeBron's fault? If LeBron himself doesn't turn up you can blame him but if he does his part and the rest of this Cleveland team don't turn up then it's hardly his fault.
For example, I blame LeBron for the Toronto loss in game 4. He only took1 shot in the last 5 minutes of a close game. That's unacceptable, but game 3 is not his fault that Kyrie/Love etc all decide to not turn up.

is that from before or after he had to get hospitalized from exhaustion due to literally being the only point guard left on the roster

Are you sure about that?
Those are the last times you'll be able to use those ankles, Steph.

That's not the last time Kyrie has made people look silly.
(Though I'm not being completely serious, and heaven knows Kyrie has his own injury problems and defensive silliness issues.)

I guess that dagger at the end wasn't on him. Roberson should've helped him out lmao.

Ahh gotcha. TBH Cavs are very dangerous, but I like the Warriors' chances especially with how they fought back down 3-1. I expect another tough Finals series that will be great fun to watch.

Its not a unique situation in the NBA though Magic Johnson went to 9 NBA finals and lost four of them. Also Jerry West went to 9 NBA finals himself and lost eight of them.

No. Nothing he does will get him suspended for the rest of the playoffs.

lol, like the NBA's going to punish him for anything he does for the rest of the playoffs
you only get suspensions for arm bars --> full-on tackling if you're some white guy on a 48-win team
some dangerous bullshit

Steph highlights from game 7. I've cued this up to a three over Westbrook from the first quarter. https://youtu.be/evqpY7HNERg?t=1m08s
Then at 1:25, he blows by Westbrook for the layup. At 2:25, with 5 seconds left in the first half, off WB's made FT, he blew by Westbrook in transition to make the buzzer beating layup, though that was also over a couple of other Thunder players at the rim -- Russ took himself out of it gambling for a steal. At 5:07, with the Thunder not really having any rim protection (Ibaka is on the perimeter guarding Klay), Russ challenges Steph's layup but can't reach. And then yeah, the dagger 3, Steph beat Roberson and Russ was the next closest and didn't really challenge. So depending how you count that last shot, that's four to five made FGs from Steph against Russ.
Curry also has the record for most 3's in a four game series. And the most in a five game series. And the most in a six game series.
If Cleveland get beat I honest;y wouldn't be surprised if they trade either Love or Irving. Wouldn't surprise me at all.
Reggie jackson y'all
He's getting swept in the 1st round while the Thunder take a 73-9 team to 7 games... What a hoe

Klay for Love? lol
So many criticized the Warriors for not pulling the trigger on that trade.
Here's my first post in the 2014 off season thread after someone said they're not sure anyone will make a move to stop the Spurs from repeating.
Oops.

Man. The haters sure took an L with this series. Dudes been hiding under a rock and all of a sudden Warriors got challenged and so many came out ready to curb stomp them.
Go back under your rocks.

yup. obliterated that season 3pt record.
I genuinely feel bad for Durant. it was one of those where he played well enough to win, but didn't. With the late game one man run it was shades of Tony Parker game 6 against Miami when Ray Allen cancelled that win. Besides that, I liked the way he carried himself during the game and after and the defense is coming around... He's the third best player in the league by a wide margin.

Warriors in 4 vs cavs

Congrats to the Warriors.
I think the finals against the fully healty Cavs, will be awesome to watch.
My biggest sympathy goes out to OKC.
I think overall during the 7 games, they showed they where a better team than the Warriors. I really think OKC where better, and presented a team and strategy (when it was NOT hero ball playing) that gave the Warriors a shitload of problems during this series.
I also totally agree with TNT crew about everything why OKC could not advance.
I will not start going down the road, regarding if mr Green should have been suspended or not, but i will say that the things he did have absolutley no place at all in the NBA. At the same time im kinda glad he didnt get suspended, beacuse if OKC would have advanced it would have been so easy to point finger and said yeah thats why OKC won the series.
Bring on the finals!

Where did you see this? During the postgame press conference he mentioned Curry scoring on the bigs but not once did he say that Curry never scored on him.

Yeah donovan needs to be fired, and Durant should go, it's NOT getting any better from here. all he had to do was win one game and he couldn't do that. C'mon
Cavs lost 2 to the 2nd seed
Warriors lost to the fukkin bum ass 8th seed rockets

Not once, not twice...
I wonder if I'll live to see some shatter his record. Kids are already shooting from college 3s at like 10.
Can't tell if this is serious
