For all the hate Eastern Conference gets, they don't play real D out there on the West.

Warriors play like video game offense in the West, and for the 2nd straight time vs Cavs they are struggling to score.

Kawai is better than both these guys.

After what PG13 did in the playoffs, I take him all day everyday.

On another note, curry has yet to show up in the finals. If im GSW im worried because they need him to wake up on the road as their bench doesnt play as well on the road

I would agree with you if PG could play like that consistently on the offensive end but we both know that's not the case. He always seems to have major hot streaks (usually at the beginning of the season) and then his play proceeds to fall off a cliff for a while before it levels out.

to be fair on those slaps about 90% of the time they are NOT clean

Goes both ways, though, as neither are his arm holds around a player, and that's when he's not barreling through an opponent as if he were playing football.

I think as he matures, his consistency issues will get better. He was robbed of a whole season and off season and he is only 26. Its is really hard being consistant when you are #1 on O and D.

After all these years, I still don't understand loose ball fouls - what they are exactly, how they're called...

We should definitely get a better idea soon who is the best two-way player. PG and Leonard will need to carry their teams on both sides of the ball. Leonard is in a bit better situation with LMA.

Love getting injured might be addition by subtraction for the Cavs.
