It's tough to really judge it after the fact. What if they actually went out and made the first shot. Then Nurse looks good and we win the chip.

I don't feel like blaming him for the L.

Way bigger problems like Pascal and Danny missing a bunch of shots.

I don’t think the reason was due to the timeout kawhi was gassed. The problem was we tried to kawhi ball basically the remainder of the 4th from the start of his spurt end of 4th. Everyone was like give kawhi ball get out way. He was tired hard to do everything for 6 mins straight. Lowry also has wide open 3.

The only real injury right now besides Durant is Looney. And they were massive favorites without Durant. And now everyone is spinning that they’re the pesky underdogs fighting for the little man.

6b is the last zone in Jurassic Park. Zone 1 is right in front of the arena. There’s a zone behind 6b that you could get into without a wristband.


what time did you arrive to get to.zone 6b? Blue before.tip off ?lol


I was there around 7:30pm, was one of the last 30 people to get a wrist band. The nice thing is they walk through the line and hand out the wrist bands, so people budding etc. it doesn't effect you getting in.

If you get there by 7 you should be good, a little earlier and you're 100%.

We are lucky to have even been in a position to win given that we shot 25% from 3. In the regular season we shot that poorly in 8 games. We won two of them but one was against Phoenix and in the other we came back from being 10 down to start the 4th quarter because Indiana suddenly couldn't score.

In the playoffs we have shot the 3 at 25% in 3 games. We only won 1 of them and that was Game 7 against Philly.

Our abysmal 3 point shooting was the reason for the loss and had KD not been injured it wouldn't have even been close.

Didn't sleep well at all. But woke up okay. No WAY we lose two more games in a row. No WAY. We're just better. Last night was an outlier. Without KD, we're better, and we will hoist Larry sometime in the next week. It's almost a lock. Seriously.

basically KD won the game for gsw as he got the lead for their teammates in the 1st qtr that they held on to till the last possession of the game.

I just read the first few pages of this thread.

Some guys are way overexagerating with their hot takes.

We don't deserve the title because of a few minutes in the 4th quarter?

Yes it wasn't a perfectly timed timeout, but Kawhi asked for it and we would have lost it as it was under 3 minutes. You get a breather and you come back stronger and execute. The Warriors just Warriorsed, because that's who they are. The greatest team since the Jordan Bulls.

The final shot was blocked by Draymond, y'all need to calm down.

They can win one out of the last two.

He had No shot, and his defence on curry and klay was horrible!!!! He was alway behind curry playing catch up. I really don't know why he played so many minutes. Remember in the sixers series when nurse benched green for the whole 4th and we went on huge run to win the game ? I have no clue why he didn't just bench him for powell, or even the defence of McCaw. I mean if he's not making shots, or defending, then he's not anymore useful than McCaw.


He was caught in no mans land guarding air in the last two minutes while Curry/Thompson were going HAM

I was pointing this out the whole time, but people are going on the reputation of green being a good defender. He couldn't guard curry and klye because he simply couldn't stay in front of them. Fred and norm both did a better job on them curry and kyle. If you go back and watch the highlights you can clearly see that he was always a step or 2 behind them. Dude looked slow as hell it there last night and Nurse has to bench if his shot is not falling.. Klay killed him in the game before last night, and curry killed him last night.. People are just looking at it based on the reputation of green being a good defender, without actually paying attention to the current match up. Curry is killing him out there.

Boogie gave them a big boost when KD went out. That little stretch was huge for them extending the lead.
He did go back to sucking in the 4th Q though which helped.

Lot of things weren't right yesterday.
1. Weather. We had a gorgeous weekend and then boom. The worst weather for a close-out championship game. It felt wrong from the beginning.
2. Anthem. Once again US kills us with this as Monica delivers a flawless performance. Yes, the idea of fans singing is good, but it doesn't beat a performance by world class artist. I thought the anthem was slow and sluggish.
2. KD playing then tearing Achilles. Rare injury and even more rare to see it on a big stage. Weird.
3. Alumni introduction. I just thought this was unnecessary and awkward especially with Vince still playing in the league. Should have saved it for next season.
4. Kawhi's 1 point 3rd quarter. He seemed timid and forceful in 3rd quarter. Very unlike of him.
5. Nurse's timeout. Total momentum killer. Never seen anything like it.
