They need Giannis to absolutely go off and then have someone else also step up.

i mean we've seen them win 3 games this series i don't see how it's some unachievable recipe

sure the celtics have been the better team this series but giannis going off seems like a given at this point.

They've won, but the last 2 games they won have been complete nail-biters.

Giannis might need his best performance of the playoffs for game 7.

After seeing the Celts and Bucks play, I doubt the Warriors are anywhere near the level of those two teams.

They got down by 55 points to the Grizz, who let's face it just aren't that good, in a freakin elimination game. Contenders don't do that. And today it's the same lackadaisical approach that's going to make this game a bigger dog fight than it should be.

Who would have homecourt if the Warriors and Heat met in the Finals?

warriors hitting grizzlies with all what they got and memphis hitting back to keep the game close

feels like a callback to the celts game.. should the warriors be concerned that they're only up 2 with klay playing like this?

Steph stepping back again and again, eliciting oohs and aahs, but getting by absolutely no one.

He'd do so much better if he simply put his head down and drove. All he's doing is overdribbling at this point.

i dont want to be mean on curry when i say this, i respect him a lot as a legend of the game

but i am unsure if i would fear switching adams on him during picks

what happened to him after 2021?

weird game for warriors

they got game 6 klay going off but to balance it the basketball gods have also brought all their weaknesses this season

curry loss of any quickness and 1vs1 ability, dumb turnovers and draymond being ignored as a scoring threat and not making them pay
