Hard to tell from the angle if it was a bad pass or bad hands on loony for me.

Raps can win but come on now stop fouling jump shooters shooting 3s, that is just a really dumb basketball play. If they can play smarter at least a bit in the 2nd half they will win.

i bet on Curry. This is playing like the game 6 game against houston. Klay had the hot touch and the supporting case was keeping the warriors in the game, and then curry exploded for 33 points in the second half.


I think both could.

Kawhi has played well in the 2nd half during these playoffs.

We all know Curry can light it up quickly.

Not nearly as bad as Harden and Chris Flops legacy were damaged by choking in the second round this year.

And don't talk to me about 'gravity'. Curry is passing up wide open floaters to defer to Kevon Looney.


Steph is literally pull 3 defenders every possession...not 2...THREE.


yeah, the "gravity effect" is real with him, guys like Looney/Green/Iggy get left wide open

You breathe on Steph and Klay and it's a foul.

Unless Curry goes off in the 2nd half, I don’t see how Warriors win this one. Kawhi ain’t gonna struggle forever. Klay isn’t enough to win this thing alone

Good game so far. Still worried about Kawhi. I know he’s not a playoff choker like James Harden

Gasol should only come on if cousins does. Ibaka is so much better with the speed and pace of play

Steph has been silent so far too... Just sayin

Warriors got to feel good only down 3 with Kyle having the game of his life. They got to minimize the turnovers, Nurse is certainly gonna address the FT and rebound disparity and adjust.

I just don’t trust Curry dribbling more than like 3 times. He plays too loose for a series like this.

He is not playing well offensively or defensively. Some of the passes, even the ones that arent turnovers are bad. There are just some plays he cant make consistently as a point guard. Draymond has really covered up a lot of his issues as a passer

Are people gonna ask this question every **** half Curry doesn't drop 20 points? jesus

Since when did physical contact pass off as breathing? You must be blind.

Warriors arent going out like bitches, putting on an inspired motivated performance. Raptors would have been screwed with a healthy Durant.
