No. It's all about the narrative, baby!
Draymond was better than Curry tonight. If Wiggins goes for 50 AND hits a game winner then it's his

Lost in all this is Luke Kornet playing in an NBA Finals game and hitting a three. Legend.

My friend put $20 on Wiggins winning Finals MVP as a joke between us (he's a Wolves fan). He'd win about $1,000 if it comes to fruition.

Yep. They are a hot mess, and I can't see them turning it around.
Props to GS's D, which has been fierce, but Tatum and crew are playing like 10th graders. I know they are young but I think tonight was Tatum's 75th playoff game or something. 2 x separate donuts at the line, 5 TO's, no presence. Just not good enough.
Not saying its all on him either - 4 points from the C's bench ain't cutting it. And 18 TO's and 10 missed FT's - that's not ever gonna win a championship.
In the end though GS just want it so much more it seems. Go get it. I think they might be stomping the Leprechaun logo after Thursday night, as much as it pains me to type that out.

I didn't get to watch the game last night, so it might just be the highlights I saw this morning, but it looked like a lot of standing still on Boston's part when they were on defense.

Seemed like they’re running a zone defense without good communication/awareness. Getting caught up on articles from the regular season, apparently it’s been working well for them? But last night they looked lost.
Mods?

They changed their defense to take out Curry and it looked like they sort of forgot(?) how to play their base defense when he sat in the 4th.

Yeah, Wiggins was excellent. Great, solid, constant D and took it to anyone in his way on offence. Maple Jordan I believe.
