I've enjoyed the playoffs for the most part. I didn't get to watch those guys back in the day, but the finals this year has had plenty of good games. I was talking today at work who was talking about how much different basketball was during the Bird, Magic, Jordan days and he also said he could barely watch it now. I've been entertained this year though.... but this is also the first year I started watching any NBA basketball since the 2002-2008ish Pistons.
I don't think his complaint is that the games aren't close I think his main issue is that the level of play is bad from both teams. The games are good (close games down to the end except game 4) but the level of play is so bad that its like watching the M00N game. Close contest but not what most would consider an enjoyable watching experience.
I don't necessarily agree with him, though this has been some ugly basketball in the finals, but I think thats what he was getting at.
Wow... Curry ...
That crossover stepback by Curry was NASTY!
That turnover by Curry was huge.
Who is the announcer who has been obsessed with calls for/against the Cavs tonight? It's been ridiculous. He obviously wants the Cavs to win haha
I don't know but it's been driving me insane. He's just shy of openly rooting for the Cavs.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed lol it has also been driving me insane
Does regular play-by-play for Knicks when not on national call. Great as a homer, but shouldn't be one for the finals. Horrible.
What a week foul call lol
Just give Iggy the MVP already. Dude is hands down the best player on GS this series.
Igoudala has been beast mode this series. Fun to watch.
Curry makes some awful decisions sometimes. You're up seven with three minutes left and a full shot clock. Why are you launching an immediate three?
Is it worse than winding down the shot clock then jacking up a three, which is often the Cavaliers offense in crunch time? Also, if anything I think Curry has been a little too passive at times (though I think he's done great work being patient in making the first pass on the pick and roll). It's a good sign that he's gotten aggressive again, as the score line will show.
I agree. The finals have been really fun to watch.
Only so much 1 guy can do ... holy hell Steph Curry just dropping bombs everywhere.
And his mom is a MILF
This announcer is so annoying. LeBron makes wayyyyy more contact than he gets from others.
This is a joke. A team shouldn't be able to do what the Cavs are doing right now.

Love wasn't an all-star, but no, I was referring to this ridiculous hack-a-thon that's going to delay the game for another 20 minutes.

Takes me back to college.
Where's that dude that was whining about the Warriors playing hack-a-shaq a few games ago?
EDIT: It was DaytonBlue
Cleveland just running out of steam. I'm sure they'll play hard in Cleveland, but this feels like the end of the series tonight.
Yeah, I think they're out of gas. LeBron did it all tonight and it still wasn't enough. GS probably wraps this up in game 6.
Those initial passes off the pick and roll don't count on the box score, but his work running the offense has to take that into account as well as the turnovers. Takes a lot of discipline to stick to making the first pass, especially when you're the best shooter on the floor.
There's the dagger!
I don't think the Cavs will lose at home... I can see this going 7... with the Warriors winning out.
I hope they give the MVP to Iggy over Curry... he's been a rock for the Warriors the whole series while Curry just turned on this game.
It sure seems like ABC is pushing for LeBron to get it, win or lose.
Jerry West did in 1969. I wouldn't be surprised if LeBron does this year.

Curry, man . . . to have a guy with basically unlimited range is pretty cool. That dagger that put them up 100-89 was from what, 30 feet?
It's a testament to LeBron's ability that the Cavs even won two games in this series (flip him and Curry, for example, and this is probably a pretty one-sided sweep for GSW), but the Warriors just missed a ton of shots those first three games and that allowed Cleveland to keep it close. But when Kerr figured out he could bring in Iggy from the bench as a "6th" starter, this series was over.
Either him or Iggy. No one else should even be considered.

The Cleveland mouth breathers already tasted success with OSU this year. I don't want them getting another taste of it (I know not all of them are, sorry Mgrowold). Put em away next game Warriors.
