NBA

Even if GS had won it, the Bulls lost three playoff games in '96 and were clearly better anyway. Curry laid a serious egg and LeBron was just a beast the last half of that series.

Because his team did a mental belly flop. I'm just glad the GD Spurs didn't win.

although the warriors have and will always be my team, I am not biased on what I see happening in the last couple of years. 

- Terrible because officiating on both sides of the court did not make any sense. While one foul was called on on side, exact same foul was not called on the other. If anything, let them play on which is bullet 2 below.

- Playoffs officiating is similar to how i run 5s at the local spots, no touch fouls/baby slaps should be called. Any real hitting, slapping, super obvious foul should be call.

- NBA has a no flopping rule that is never enforced which is stupid (both teams)-> points finger at Adam Silver trying to increase entertainment value and money

- If Curry did not break anything/or was just at 80%, I truly expected him to do more last night/entire series. I get how he gets bodied a lot of the ball, but be aggressive and take your shots. 

- Klay just forced everything and he needs to develop his play making skills, one day I will accept him.

- Barnes just dissapointed me, he has been my favorite player since he joined the Warriors as I had high hopes for him. But inconsistency is a bitch and that will hurt his trade value for us getting more. 

- Kyrie just handled everyone with that stepback jumper, it was just crispy smooth and i give him mush respect. Klay needs to be this smooth.

- Lebron: still don't like him at all, flops/travels/plays european style bball....dominant at times, baby even more. The ball literally had to stay in his hands if they wanted to win. I don't mind ball hogs at all, Kobe was an interesting player. But Lebron doesn't do it for me at all, just his demeanor kills it for me. Oh well 

- Tristan Thompson, my god all you do is hold onto people. If anything you annoyed me the entire series. Offensive rebound beast but holding like a mofo.

- Entire series the Warriors played to the tempo of Lebron and Kyrie as well as beating themselves (aka warriors from years past)

Anyways, I look forward to next year and the changes we will make. Too much f!@kery in the NBA right now, just bring back my love and childhood 90s basketball. Bring back the grit and emotional games that lured me in. 

Well as I said, I'm not a fan of the NBA.

But in my mind, they just let them play is a win for the Cavs as it makes it a more physical game.

Last night I was imagining Tom Brady watching in his mansion saying to himself, "I know what that feels like and it sucks."

It is shocking to me how many times Ezeli drops passes.  That guy has some of the worst hands in the NBA.  
Not a good sign for the dubs when Ezeli is getting serious minutes, but I guess that's what happens when Bogut goes out.  
I can't figure out exactly what went wrong for the Warriors.  If they play that series 10 times I think they win 8 or 9 times.   I think the Cavs defenders did a tremendous job.  If Draymond plays game 5, I think the Warriors win.  Curry's game seems to have a little hot and cold to it.  Between the outstanding defending and a bit of a cold stretch for Curry, the Cavs were able to pull out a win.  
If it's any consolation, drewcandraw, the Warriors have to be the prohibitive favorites for 2017, assuming everyone stays healthy.  

nate001 For sure, but I hope Bob Myers will shake things up a bit or get certain people to gain confidence and work on their weaknesses. Regardless, i'll be there in October in my seats.

devastitis Kerr not calling timeouts was him trying to let them play through it...ala coach MJ that preached to us to get ourselves out of trouble. It was bad on his part as he usually would call timeouts throughout regular season/other finals games.

I'm hoping to let Ezeli, Barnes and Bogut walk as long as we bring in one big guy like Monroe who can score and at least run the pick n roll. We got the cap as well as cap rising each year so Curry will get his payout for what he has done. I have so much to say on the subject lol or the NBA in general. I just end up telling people that what jeffrx said and that I'm happy ESPN reports the warriors instead of lakers more now (took forever for them to show the bay some love).

ahh man your lucky, i tried to draft towns in Fantasy and I got robbed, his potential is unreal and he is so young.

One player that i really want but will not take is Cousins....his attitude is so bad that I can't imagine the locker room, but I will not deny his post play although him jacking 3s is kinda meh.

If Cousins could get on a team that wasn't so dysfunctional he'd be OK I think.  Who is he supposed to learn from, Vlade?  Get him on the Spurs and he'd be unstoppable.

Is it possible to merge teams? My dumb Mavs need just about every position. Combine us with someone like the Bulls and you just might squeeze out an okay team.

Hey now...
Carlisle could coach him up too...
