I love that Kevin Durant is winning and I hope he goes into the Hall of Fame as a Golden State Warrior.

12 for 40 something from 3 should suggest a new strategy. Why Cleveland doesn't attack the basket more I don't understand.

especially with draymond having so many fouls

[Monkey_Driven]

Draymond's foul trouble was a major issue last night that hasn't gotten enough attention.

Kerr changing/reassessing the Curry switching onto Lebron problem during that timeout in the 4th was another major part of the game.

rascal flatts!!!!

Those guys were kinda fat

they eat sweet harmonies for breakfast

They are a boy band at the end of the day.

Here's my analysis: the Warriors won

You should go on First Take.

They will win again

I read the sweep is going to cost the warriors 22 million or something like that.

In gate revenue/concessions? That seems like a very high number for two possible home games.

It's the going price for being a bay area bandwagoner I guess.

I have a question. The talk is now beginning about what Cleveland has to do in the offseason to get better, and of course people are saying "trade Kevin Love". Wouldn't they be better off trading Kyrie? I mean, without LeBron that dude is not a superstar, and his defense sucks. Kevin Love is one of the better defenders they have. GM Lebron wouldn't want the to actually trade Love away, would he?

It wouldn't be about trading anyone. It would be about adding someone and whether the comic sans loving owner would pay for that. They need a 3rd scorer, so trying to get a Westbrook or Hardin or Wall, Paul George etc someone of that type that would be willing to come play like Durant did Golden State. They have to find a way to creatively pay someone and convince them to come play in Cleveland.


If Cleveland shot halfway decent last night, they win going away they completely outplayed GS, playing "Duke" style drive inside and kick out failed miserably because they couldn't shoot to save their lives.

They need JR Smith and Kyle Korver to be Klay Thompson.

They can't trade Kyrie because Kevin Love can't score like Kyrie can. Defense is important, scoring (and creating your own opportunities to score) are a lot more important.

Cleveland already has Shumpert who can play decent D, Avery Bradley would help on the defensive side, but honestly that's not the ultimate issue, scoring is. Their role players are all very good role players.

Lebron still defers too much for my liking. Much like game 7 last year, sometimes I just need him to be the best basketball player in the world and score the ball.

Oracle can make that up in licensing fees in about 3 seconds.

They cant dump piss bowl Oracle fast enough. I don't understand why a large portion of Warriors nation doesn't feel disrespected about the team moving to Steve Jobs Arena or wherever.

Because it's now in Oakland and they are surrounded by everything that's better than what they have so they are naturally put out by some rich guys moving to more rich guy quarters. They have lived next to rich assholes for years.

Is it fair? I don’t care. It’s great for our league. Right now, look at our TV ratings, look at the money our league is pouring in,” he said. “Gguys are loving the game, our fans love the game. I mean, who am I to say if it’s fair or not? No matter who I’m going against, if I’m going against four Hall of Famers, like I said before the series started with Draymond (Green), Klay (Thompson), Steph (Curry), and K.D., or if I’m going against two or whatever the case may be, I’m always excited to play the game.

-Lebron spouting bullshit


This little nugget was great too:


Green was already working on that as he left Oracle Arena after that gutting Game 7 loss. Green sat in his car in the parking and called (GM Bob) Myers, telling him he had to sign Durant. “It’s on you,” Green told Myers.



Green hung up, stayed in the parking lot, and made another call — to Durant. “That was my very next call,”


I hope it ends tonight and it's Warriors by 50. That would be great for the league and tv wise a sweep would be wonderful too. LeBron says so.

I don't know who is a bigger pussy, Durant for joining the warriors or green for immediately trying to recruit him.

...or is it Curry? The back to back MVP who has happily rolled over and submissively obeyed Durant? To the point he is openly a cheerleader during games now. Look at Durants dagger three. Curry squats down like he is taking a dump on the Cavs briefly. He is so consumed with being an arrogant little fuck it is completely lost on him that he is now just a spectator in crunch time. Basically a fan like the rest of us.

Pretty sure Curry scored 6 of those points in that final 11-0 run...

He didn't score any of the points that mattered. Fuck his free throws. Fuck him.
