Wake up everyone it's Big Game Day!

(Only one day off between games 3 and 4. Then back to 2 days off between the rest of the games.)

Curry and LeBron are the only superstars of this era that have proven they can single handedly get their team to the finals, no matter how bad their roster is.

Curry dragging a team whos second best player is Andrew Wiggins to the finals is absolutely unbelievable to me.

Celtics look to be the more focused and hungrier team. The Dubs will need to match their intensity or this series could be pretty much over after tonight’s game.

Hope the Warriors come focused and determined. They threw away game 1 and are now in a 2-1 hole they dug themselves.

My predictions have all been on point. I'm expecting an energized and motivated draymond green looking to shut the hater up.

I'm fully expecting a warriors win. I think they play with poise and that championship DNA and take over in the 3rd and cruise to victory. I'm also expecting a major game by Poole.

Warriors - 109
Celtics - 95

i mean his WCF opponent's 2nd best player was like Jaylen Brunson or Spencer Dinwiddie. So not that unbelievable, lol.

And he had to go through a stacked Mavs team, Grizzlies with their superstar playing all the games, and the Nuggets not missing $70 mil. in salary from their starting line up.

Im sure the competition wasnt much better when LeBron dragged his team to the finals in 2007 either.

Point is, these are the two guys of this era who have proven they can get a team to the finals by themselves.

Jimmy Butler proved it in the bubble, by this measure.

Let's not forget Curry's doing all this with a team that's paying only $175 mil. to its roster. Curry needs more help.

I still can't believe that guy was willing to have in-depth conversations with the likes of me when he used to post here. This is bar none the best basketball discussion forum. And we get users who know their chops and can expand your knowledge if you're open to persuasion/

Will Kerr play the younger athletics guys that can actually contribute on defense or will he throw away another game?

Aren't the GSW supposed to be this great defensive team? I thought that was the narrative coming into the finals.
