Man, convincing Otto Porter to sign with Milwaukee instead of GS is the difference between us getting back to the finals and sitting at home.

Doncic sat to long. Idk why Golden state hates Bertans. He seems like the most harmless guy in the NBA.

I think Warriors Celtics would be an incredibly good NBA Finals. From a competitive standpoint, maybe one of the better Finals in a long time. Warriors would have HCA which would be huge.

This is what all playoff crowds should sound like. GS has great fans tho. Even when they sucked they were always crazy loud.

Kerr throwing the rookie Moody in there because his vets played poorly is something a lot of coaches would never do.

Yeah, anyone who doesn't think the crowd plays a huge factor, look no further than this game tonight. You can deff tell that the Warriors get a lot of momentum from their awesome crowd.

This is about what I expected. I was honestly shocked Dallas was up for so long. Luka is amazing but GS is a well-rounded team.

2020-21 was the best Finals of all-time

Those last two Curry drives is a bad look for the Mavs.

I'd wager he can, he's pretty good.

It feels like 80% of the Warriors points were with Doncic as the closest defender. They are attacking him relentlessly.

Profound23 · Post #676 » by **Profound23** » Sat May 21, 2022 3:38 am

Nobody can stop Curry except himself. There is no defending his shot, you just get in position and pray he is having an off night.

I don't think this Warriors team is anything close to the peak years but taking care of business at home can take you a long way in the playoffs.

This is exactly why I just can't view guys like Luka and Jokic in the same tier as Giannis. Even if his offensive brilliance isn't as versatile, you're never going to exploit Giannis on defense. You can only hope that he tires himself out.

I feel like I am too biased to rate the 2021 Finals objectively as far as where it ranks all-time...lol.

If I at least try to look at it from a neutral fan's perspective, I would say it's top 10 over the past 35 years just from a competitive standpoint. Bucks win after being down 0-2. Game 4 was edge of your seat. Game 5 was an all-time classic in Finals history. Game 6 you had Giannis drop 50 in a close, close-out game. NBA fans got treated to a pretty damn good series.

Not at those two players levels obviously but you put Giannis in space and through screens and he's in trouble. Still remember Nurse and Siakim killing him in the one game he played against them.
