Me too.

I find it hard to believe guys have these things to say about Steph and Co., forgetting the entitlement and petulance exhibited by LeBron and his minions over the past decade or so.


How about GSW's entitlement? This is the first rough stretch theyve had in the playoffs and theyve been throwing hissy fits

A rough stretch of entitlements and hissy fits does not outweigh years of LeBron & Co. doing just that and more

Agreed, has everyone forgotten the years and years of hissy fits and entitlement? Curry is still one of the classiest superstars in the history of the league, despite his recent showboating and complaining.

Nothing outweighs the generations of chuckers that Curry is surely spawning. Splash bros are seriously murdering the game I grew up watching. I'll take scores in the 80s over guys passing up fastbreak layups for corner threes and incessant moving screens.

For the good of basketball, the Queen must prevail this year.

Pressure's on Kerr.

Does he still start Iggy and not use Speights and Ezeli much?

Especially since Iggy is injured.

I will be rooting against Cleveland tonight and I don't even have anything against LeBron. Just want to see Cleveland continue their championship drought. Which is kind of **** reason, but I want to see a Charlotte sports team win a title, ending our drought, before Cleveland.

I'm rooting for the Cavs tonight. Not because I like the Cavs (in fact I really dislike Lebron), but because of Taco Bells steal a game steal a taco deal.

I haven't had taco bell in a minute and would just about root for the patriots if they offered free tacos to do so.

Taco Bell is running a deal where if a team steals a game on the road (aka wins while away) then you get a free doritos taco with no purchase necessary.

The Cavs become the first NBA team to come back from a 3-1 deficit. Congrats, Cleveland!
