Im glad to see Harrison Barnes has improved a lot oml. Hes gotten taller and lankier but hes hitting a lot more shots and is so much better offensively and defensively. And apparently he changed his name to Durant lol? must be some new liberal feminist stuff after he got married
 
Being very honest, does anyone really think that Kevin Durant and Harrison Barnes are the same type of basketball player or that they can even contribute in a similar way in NBA Finals to think the result will be the same as last year? If you do so, you are a diehard Warriors hater or you really don't know anything about basketball at all.

Warriors also rested players during the regular season, Curry isn't playing the same way as last year in which he took care the ball loosely in Finals, they have Kevin Durant who is virtually unstoppable against Cavs, they have a better bench than last year and the Warriors' offense are flowing much more naturally and better than last year. Seriously, any guess other than Warriors in 5 ~ 6 games is a demonstration of pure bias or nonsense talking. Anything can happen in the NBA Finals, but we don't analyze the imponderable, but the factual.

Still nailing. Warriors in 5.

And about tonight, Cavs D was very good and physical. The referees were bad against both sides, but shit happens. Curry and Klay neutralized by physical D and good double teams. But let's be honest, that intensity and lack of good shots by Curry and Klay won't last until G7.

Kyrie and LeBron had a magnificent game. JR was very good too. And Durant? Jesus Christ, how unstoppable this guy is. He was smacked, blocked, pushed, pressed, bruised and still drops 35. MVP Finals, for sure.

My prediction still is Dubs in 5.
 
I was hoping for the warriors to go undefeated throughout the playoffs. Sadly, that's no longer an option and I'm now rooting for the cavs to fuck the warriors up and usher forth a new era of nba memes

also rip toaster Klay
 
Was rooting for the Cavs to win a game so the best the Warriors can do is tie the Lakers record of 1 loss in a playoff run. If Cavs win game 5 they'll actually pull off the comeback, probably.
 
It's ridiculous how sad the Kings as a franchise is. They're reportedly trying to trade their 5th and 10th overall picks to the Sixers for the 3rd overall pick, a pick that was originally theirs but was sent to Philly in the Nik Stauskas trade. The details of that deal? Kings sent Nik Stauskas, Carl Landry, Jason Thompson, their 2019 first rounder, and the rights to swap first rounders in 2016 (not exercised since Philly got the 1st overall pick) and 2017 for Artūras Gudaitis (47th pick in 2015) and Luka Mitrović (60th pick in 2015), both of whom have yet to step on an NBA court.
 
Not to be racially profiling but the two major sports franchises with Arabic owners are the definition of futility. Jacksonville Jaguars and Sactown Kings. What's the deal with this?
