Warriors showed championship heart tonight. Boogie was making some bonehead plays out there.

Smh

I don't see it that way. An L would be signing a player to a max contract and then they get a career-threatening injury. As a fan, our fortunes are turning for the better.

So you think Perry will pass on Kd?


Why would he max out a torn achilles?

kawhi is amazing because he doesn't have a great ability to create separation but he is so smart and patient that he's able to constantly overachieve. but it hurts him at times.

This is why guys like Boogie does not play in NBA finals. He just went through the backdoor.

league is bogus...u never call a moving screen that late

That's what I was saying. KG on the Celtics did it to us every game. Even those game winners in the playoffs were because of the KG moving screens. Hell, Gasol was doing it this game. But they had to call it on Cousins.

Nick Nurse lost this game calling that time out when Kawhi was white hot.

Bad coaching.

Knicks aren't passing on anyone.

We're still making KD an offer. We'll see the years and the stipulations, but we're not going to just abandon everything unless maybe we can snag Kawhi.

I don't think it's torn anyway, but the medicals will be required, obviously.

It looked like Kawhi was ready to put a pillow at halfcourt and go into hibernation
