Yeah...the more I watch the warriors the more convinced I am that they do not enjoy the amazing four year stretch they’ve had without draymond. His skills and talents on offense and defense really make all of his teammates excel at their own individual talents while covering for their limitations. I understand the hate he gets from non-Warriors, but to me he is just as fun as watching as Steph.

Klay does have a better chance of winning though. I think 80 to 1 is too low
It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change

Great first quarter from KD tonight. his effort on the boards and taking on scoring when the warriors needed it was perfect. I just hope when they get going (they always get going) he knows how to dial it back.

so I'm admittedly a huge fan of Draymond Green's game. I think he is an incredible player. But why the refs allow him to show them up what half a dozen times in the half?

I'd pull him and Kerr aside going into half 2 and saying you are done. The next time you turn and yell at us or run down the court screaming this is BS while waving your arms widely, that's a 2nd T and you are done for the game and btw that's one away from a game suspension.

He's being allowed to make a mockery of the refs. I know you don't want to toss key players, but I was literally embarrassed for them that they didn't even go up to him and give him a lecture or appear to speak to Kerr to control his guy. Totally emasculating and its clearly impacting the calls which is another problem.

I legitimately don't get it. Shouldn't it be the exact opposite after his antics in the 2016 playoffs? :-?

Could it be WHAT is said? We can't hear that aspect so it's at least a thought.

Looked like someone must have said something to him because he was a totally different guy in the 2nd half. Good on the refs if that's what they did.

Well I guess Durant has to be top 5. Coasted most of the season, but he's killing it in the Finals again.

their champion has played arguably the greatest collection of basketball talent ever assembled and been very competitive in every game and had a chance to win 2 of them.

Not sure that equates to an indictment of the conference really.

nope they are winning in spite of his iso ball making it impossible for Curry and Thompson to get in a rhythm.

Because Cleveland has played the best team ever tough for 2.9 games? Odd.

I dont even like durant but I was ready to rebuttal to that.


If someone has an issue with durant in this game than they just are taking him too personally
I came here to do two things: get lost and slice **** up & I'm all out of directions.
