FVV just ate that elbow. Tough dude. Might need a couple stitches though.

Sure... when KDs out

Raps are going to have to overcome a warriors surge and terrible officiating. They deserve all the accolades if they pull it out.

A shame to see VanVleet go out. He's been great all series. Hopefully he comes back.

It's a nightmare for the INJURED Warriors. Even without KD, if Looney and Klay were healthy we'd win the series 8-) 8-) 8-)


awww do the poor Warriors need 5 allstars in their starting lineup to compete :lol:


They got 2 in Klay and steph. They needed Durant to compete..of course they did lol. I dont see how this is making fun of them..This isn't the cavs with a bunch of oldheads they are facing. This is a Contender and you need to be fully healthy. Just shows how important KD is to the team. Portland sweep was fools gold.


I love Lillard, but we talkin Portland? :lol: :wink:

They're just not all time great like so many think they would be.


Its funny because people on this forum actually think Curry is better than Durant lol


Swap the two and the result would still be the same(probably even worse for GS).


I doubt it. Durant has a bigger impact. He’s much taller and is a bigger mismatch problem. Plus he dominates the mid range game too and can shoot the 3

That’s got to hurt but it was unintentional. Hope he’s okay.

Curry is playing terrible. They are double teaming him but 1 of 8 from 3 and 6 of 18 overall is pretty bad.

Flagrant! Throw him out. Draymond is rubbing his dirty play to other GSW players.
Sometimes I'll start a sentence and I don't even know where it's going. I just hope I find it along the way.

He went up to him after the play and asked if he was OK. I'm sure Livingston is scoffing at the idea of a flagrant.
