I didn't see it, but I'll guess Westbrook choked on a couple of critical shots and had a bad turnover or two in the last two minutes.

Re: NBA Thread
If anyone has the energy to go back thru this thread and find examples of people arguing with my statement that Steph is the best shooter ever, please do. Name names.
Best PG ever? Maybe so. Guy can handle & pass waaayyy above average and no human has ever been as good a shooter. Period.

So it wasn't just a bad dream? Ugh, the NBA is officially only fun if you are a Warriors fan (OG or bandwagon). See you guys in three to five years...

verbs begrudging acceptance of Steph Curry's greatness is entertaining.

Re: NBA Thread
The worst is the highlights you see after the games. 'Watch 12 jump shots now!!'. Talk about boring. Why not just watch WNBA highlights? The last shot was amazing and clutch as hell but idgaf about watching the guys other shots. WATCH STEPH CURRY HIT AN OPEN THREE IN THE THIRD QUARTER!! Boring. Not exciting.
And he totally ruined how awesome the shot was last night with his stupid dancing afterwards.

Re: NBA Thread
I know. It's getting paid back to me in this dub nation shit. The worst part is I was a kid during the bulls dynasty. I didn't get a chance to revel in it like I would as an adult. If the warriors roster was magically the 2016 Bulls I would be next level obnoxious about how awesome my team was.
JUMP SHOTS!!! SO EXCITING!!! Seriously. I respect the skill. But I respect the skill it takes to be a brain surgeon or nuclear physicist too....doesn't mean it's not boring. Ship Steph to China. I want my old NBA back.

I got way more into the NBA once Iso-ball started to fall out of fashion.
