Having a great game by your best player but just getting out-talented by Warriors and this is just for 1 game for the Warriors.


The Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka, Thunder weren’t ultra talented?

It'd be ironic if Curry wins finals MVP, but GS lost the series.

The refs have been subpar throughout the Finals, but there's clearly not a bias toward a specific team.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Kerr decides to sit him at the start of the 4th. He has shown a complete inability or unwillingness to deviate from his usual plan.


He played him the whole 4th once in the Portland series. Or maybe game 6 against Houston? At least once anyway.

Curry keeping this thing from being a 30 point game. Just too many injuries

And they are historically stacked. Lebron probably would have won that series if his 4th, 5th and 6th best players were Iggy, Draymond, and Cousins

This feels like Jordan's 63 point game.

Warriors still have 2\3 of their best players and also 5th and 6th best players in cousins and iggy and at home. Lowry's hand is half broken, i will say its about even out there.

It doesn't matter if he just sits down on the floor on defense. He has 40 points. He's outscoring both of the players you just mentioned by 14 points total.

Warriors need to stop bailing Kawhi out with a foul.

He’s probably tired from forcing up shots with the defensive pressure to get open
