    I have no interest in another permutation of Cavs-Warriors. See y'all at the draft.

    :D

    Stop hating folks. Warriors are just a fun team to watch..even if it's against the same team 4 yrs running. If Iggy is not back by Game 3, this will go to 7.

    No the warriors are not a fun team to watch because 4 all stars vs anyone is boring af

    Durant has killed any competitiveness in the Nba

    Does anyone outside those 2 fan bases care? Even lebron can’t beat 4 all stars

    Yet, if Paul doesn't get hurt at the end of game 5, the Rockets most likely beat the 4 All Stars. So there is still some intrigue and competitiveness.

    Among one other team, the only team that can beat them in 7.

    Double yawn. Gonna be a sweep. Most boring finals in over a decade.

    And if Iggy is healthy, Warriors win Game 4 and the rest is history. It's always hard with the "what ifs", but Houston is obviously a great team.

    I hate Barcelona, but even I can admit they are fun to watch.

    I don't know about that. If that was the case, Houston wouldn't take us to Game 7.

    The Warriors came very close to losing the series. Rockets make 4 more 3s or Paul doesn't get injured, and this could've easily gone another way. It was MUCH more resistance than I expected them to encounter. Tucker was a gladiator. Congrats GS on the title.

    You talking about the overturned charge? It was the right call. Of course you could argue it almost never get reviewed, but it was a blocking foul.

    In any case, JR is beyond stupid...he thought Cavs were up.

    There were 4 terrible calls down the stretch including overturning that blocking call.

    I’m not sure it’s all on jr - lbj should have called timeout.

    I think it’s a terrible explanation because he was so clearly out of the restricted area. I also think Durant got him in the face so even if moving - it could still be an offensive foul. Didn’t the nba official working for abc say it should stand?

    There were 2 clear strips of Durant called as fouls and at least one blatant foul on LeBron not called - I thought the refs were very poor to the point of my not wanting to watch. It’s a not a good look for the league.

    And I’m glad I don’t have to cheer for a guy like Green - seems like a dirty player who I hope finds a new way to cost his team a final.

    I will say I’m really wondering if LeBron isn’t in serious competition for the Goat. Jordan couldn’t do all this with a crappy team - although he was a much better GM ;)

    Green is my favorite non-Laker player. Dude's super smart and really intense. Plus he's kind of funny-looking, which makes a lot of his facial expressions a treat to watch.

    I've never seen a pound-for-pound better or smarter help defender.

    He's the type of player you love to have on your team and hate on the other team....See John Terry or Sergio Ramos.
    Was Gary Payton a douche? Lot of people would say yes, but he was a pretty incredible player and a smart one at that. Again, I'm bias as ********, so take my opinion with a shit load of salt, but he ain't dumb. And if he is dumb, what does that make JR Smith? A best pupil of Forrest Gump?
