wow what a great game. There are a lot of teams kicking themselves for not picking up Seth Curry when he was free.

this Warriors team is so much more fun and easier to watch than the Dream Team they assembled.

if the NBA has ANY RIGGED SAY in ANYTHING, they'll do everything in their power to get Durant and Kyrie to go to NY to set up the ultimate showdown next year of Warriors v. Knicks in the Finals. That would be a hell of a lot of fun to watch.

WHAT A GAME! Igggyyyyyyy!


Yeah I called him out and then he made 3 great plays down the stretch, that steal, the pass to Looney and he had an absolutely monster blockout on Leonard when it looked like he had an easy putback.

I also loved him on the play where Seth fouled him and he fell down hard the camera caught him saying "i'm dead" with a big smile on his face.

I have to agree it's a more watchable game because there's not as much ISO.

I don't think Kyrie and Durant would work together for that reason, they both are ISO guys. Durant is a phenomenal player, but if he's holding the ball then Kyrie isn't and if Kyrie is dribbling circles around the defense than Durant doesn't have the ball.

But it does sound like they might be teammates next year. Which will make me finally right in predicting that whoever had Durant would wind up getting Trier.

Draymond looks so much better out there without KD on the floor.

I don't know if people noticed but he lost close to 20 pounds during the season by changing his diet. It's been really obvious in the postseason he's just quicker and more athletic.

When Steph was shooting 3FT's late in the game Seth said something to him and Steph laughed. Turns out what he did after the first make was say "that's 70 in a row now" trying to get into his head. And Steph apparently said "and it's going to be 72" and then made the last 2 as well. Great moment.

Seriously, why is Morey trying to brag about that now? I can see the point in mentioning that during the regular season if you're a color commentator or an analyst but for the GM of the Rockets to try and point out how they lose less against the Warriors than others do is petty, especially since they were sent home about 1 week ago by the Warriors.

Yup, Morey definitely comes off as petty.

Yeah, Morey, next time you want to brag about being the best loser, maybe pass it on to one of your paid mouthpieces.

I understand that's just Morey being defensive but wow, didn't anyone chime in on how that would be interpreted?

I am expecting Portland wins tonight and then Warriors steal game 4.

The Rockets picked up D'Antoni's contract option on the 2019-20 season.

Maybe it's some sort of justification for it.

Felt like Dubs got dominated in opening quarter, yet only down by two.
