Isn't it just NBA newbies who like this kind of basketball?

I'm not trying to be a douchebag about it, I just don't see how this kind of matador defense is appealing.

I mean, the Bulls don't die after the 4th Quarter?

I did not enjoy watching that at all but at least the warriors lost. That's what matters. Green shit his pants instantly on that last possession. And what in the world was up with that Quinn Cook three?

You have me mixed up with Verb.

Where are the .gifs of Paul's Curry dance? BRING THEM TO ME

Game 6 will be uglier with the short rest again and traveling.

[run2death]

I'll go back to not watching now.

Thanks for keeping me uninterested with your absence, Kawhi.

You were doing me a favor.

I was watching Kerr during his post game press conference. He blinked uncontrollably through the whole thing. Hes a drug addict.

[Monkey_Driven]

Definitely.

Interesting scheduling choices by the league to have long layoffs between games 2 and 3 and then go every other day.
Looks like they're really stretching the Finals out for as long as possible.

Pretty dumb to let it bleed into the World Cup.

Pretty dumb to let it bleed into the World Cup.

This is a pretty similar Finals schedule to the last few years. I'm really curious to see World Cup ratings with the US not playing and the time difference.

[verb_to_trust]

For example, there is zero chance a Hispanic male will watch the Finals casually if El Tri is playing.

I don't think it matters at all.

You're a dumb white guy

I mean the only potential overlap would be games 6 and 7 and it doesn't even look like they'd be played concurrently with any World Cup matches.

[verb_to_trust]

The overlap doesn't matter. During the world cup there will be only the world cup for some people.

[Monkey_Driven]

They certainly won't conflict time wise with the time difference. It's not like the Finals will go to a Game 7 anyway.

[bada]

The casual NBA watching Latinos are going to be so pumped from the Morocco v Iran game in the morning they won't have the energy to watch the NBA Finals.

[run2death]

You guys remember when defense meant staying in front of someone instead of a pathetic swipe at the ball as they blow by?

[4/5]

I can't believe the Rockets are doing what I thought they should! Chris Paul out for game 6. I love this move.
