I'm guessing Kawhi's flu is back. :lol:

Golden States' defense has been incredible

How long is Looney out for?

Refs really messed with the raps flow early in the game when they decided to get everyone in foul trouble. Completely changed the game

Getting beat is one thing. Getting beat by Quin Cook, Andrew Bogut and Shawn Livingston is another.

not sure why idiot Kerr didn't play him last game. :roll:

Bogut and Green were always beasts together. Cousins is the guy who is surprising me. He has given the Warriors solid minutes. He was fantastic in the 3rd

I thought Kawhi waited too long to force the issue. He was being too passive to start the 3rd — they need a steady diet of Leonard offensively, regardless of the defensive scheme. They need to force the issue in terms of running the ball through him.

More about Warriors defense so not entirely on Nurse. Raps failed to make those open shots in the third and that doomed them to this blowout...

Could be. i was so busy marveling at that 18-0 run and all i saw were isos from the Raps in that stretch.

Game's close to over. Disappointed in the refs, Nurse and Siakam

Yeah that’s a good call on that foul Bogut. He was moving.

Just like Kerr was an idiot for playing Cousins in game 1. Paying huge dividends tonight

He makes so many hockey assists but it doesn't show up on the boxscore so he must be underperforming.

Curry's the most dominant player that I've seen since 3-peat Shaq. Never seen a guy collapse the defense like he does, it's absurd.
