It took two amazing performances from Kyrie and LeBron to beat a team without the main cog of their defense. I worry they don't have enough in them to do it again...and again.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. A lot of Kyrie's shots were tough, well defended shots too. I bet they are grateful for the extra day of rest the way those two played.

series is going seven games

This game was a stark reminder of how mediocre Golden State's big guys are.

Verb, what do you think of this Butler/Wolves trade talk?

[verb_to_trust]

No way they come up with a deal good enough to make it happen. The 5 pick and Ricky rubio (or something) isn't going to get it done. I do laugh at the idea of Gar and Thibs potentially talking on the phone though.

I saw a potential Butler/Gibson for Lavine/4th pick/Pek/Deng. Does that interest you at all.

Not really. I think the bulls would love to draft Kris Dunn though and he's a top 5 pick probably.

What if the Wolves offer Lavine/Dunn/Pek for Butler?

[verb_to_trust]

The deal would need to include Wiggins and that's not going to happen. The pick is nice but they won't package it with anything good.

I can't imagine the deal would go through. I think Thibs needs to chill and actually practice with these guys a few times first before trading anyone.

[verb_to_trust]

I bet he brings in Noah, but then again he and KG hate each other and KG will probably be around in some capacity.

[Monkey_Driven]

I want the Warriors to win tomorrow night so the trade rumors can dominate the headlines.

It would be nice for this to finally end. Worst basketball season I can remember from my perspective as a fan.

The postseason has been a dud outside of the WCF, which doesn't help.

this game has started swimmingly.

[4/5]

So the Warriors are gonna free throw their way back and then our hero Steph will put it away at the end, got it.

Warriors by double digits.

[4/5]

Never mind, GS is gonna be leading by the half.

your boy steph's racking up the fouls

It still seems like when LeBron has the ball and Curry switches on to him that LeBron has no idea what to do. It's quite curious.
