"They made a run now we need to make a run"
"There's a lot of game left"
Is he the head coach or the head cheerleader?
Whataver he is doing, I volunteer to do it for half price.
They never show strategy on TV... so they always get those pep talk soundbites.

Interesting stat. Including this game, Steph Curry has made 96 3-pointers in the 21 playoff games the Warriors have played. That total would be good for 61st in the league during the regular season...in 21 games! That is crazy

Yeah, but every time the Warriors get out to a double-digit lead, they start doing stupid shit, taking bad shots and throwing the ball away. It's almost like they can't stand having a comforatable lead.
GSW asserting their dominance... got damn...

with less of a clear-cut MVP. I think it would be absurd to give it to LeBron because I think it would just go against what the award stands for. And I don't think Curry has been good enough to merit getting the award. The Cavs chose to play D such that they forced Iguadala to beat them, and he was up to the task. Sure, LeBron put up ridiculous point totals against him, but they were terribly inefficient points.
Maybe it's Iguadoala. *shrug*
I think in this case, it would have been reasonable to give LeBron the award. It's an MVP award, not a "best player on the winning team" award. Jerry West won the award even though his team lost the series to the Celtics back in the day.
LeBron was the best player on the court in the Finals, plain and simple. He led BOTH teams in all three major statistics- Points, Rebounds, and Assists, that is unheard of- better statistically than West's performance. He had the best finals series in NBA history by all statistical measures. The only thing he didn't do was win. If you gave LeBron either Kyrie Irving or Kevin Love, this series would have been a lot different. He kept the Cavs competitive with scrubs.
Draymond Green with the triple double
Iggy has to get it... If not him, then Lebron... I can't really see Green or Curry getting it.

They wouldn't be there without him in the games before that.
Ill refer you to my argument earlier in the thread. He only played 3 extra minutes in game 4 while starting compared to games 2 and 3 when coming off the bench. I don't understand the perception that he was some non-entity in the first half of the series who was all of the sudden given playing time and thrived. He played a ton in the first few games, he just wasn't that effective.
throughout the series. So considering that Curry's play was consistent throughout the series, bu tthe results changed based on how Iguadala played, I'd say Iguadala was more valuable.
I guess I don't understand why people think he played mediocre the whole series. Maybe people had much higher expectations for him than they should have. But he literally had one bad game. He has averaged 25/6/5 in the finals. The points are a 1.5 point uptick from his MVP regular season. In fact his averages across the board were more or less what they were throughout the regular season and that includes the atrocious game 2 which carries much more weight in his averages obviously than any single game in the regular season. I just don't know what people expected from Steph
His fg percentage was down, his 3pt percentage was down, his turnovers were up. And as tonight showed, it's not like he had to play like LeBron and score all his team's points, so the downtick in efficiency was just evidence of him playing poorly relative to how he played in the regular season.
Also, in the regular season, he played 10 fewer minutes than he was playing in the finals. Let that sink in. He put up the same stats in the MVP regular season in about a full quarter less of average minutes (42 in finals vs. 32 in regular season).
Good points. His efficiency was definitely down. And Iggy ended up winning the MVP so it looks like your opinion was definitely the more popular one. I just didn't think Curry was playing as bad as everyone made it seem. The way people were dogging him made it seem like he had Klay Thompson's finals (where the hell was that guy the past 2 weeks).
Curry played how LeBron tried to play in Finals past (a la Mavs). When he was double teamed, he gave the ball up. He didn't force all that many shots. He was content to take what the defense gave him. The difference is that Curry's team stepped up, and when LeBron did the same thing, his teams shat the bed.
You have to give the MVP to Iggy, or maybe LeBron. But it's not like Curry or Green have been consistently great this series.
That's 6 on Klay. This might not be done quite yet...
Why the hell is Cleveland playing Kiss Him Goodbye?????
They're losing
Maybe they should show their own logo on the big screen.
I hope Iggy wins MVP.
I love how all the energy has been drained out the place, maybe it drained some of the energy out of Urban.
(IMO) if the warriors had won because of Curry and Thompson gunning down the Cavs. Instead, the Cavs forced the ball out of Curry's hand, Curry obliged, and the role guys stepped up to the plate. It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't that entertaining for me at least, but mad respect to the Warriors for committing to a gameplan and executing it.
Someone check in on MGrowOld...
... when the game is out of reach.
Cleveland fans are like...NOOOOO NOT AGAIN! 1:11
Wow... this is suddenly a game again.
coming alive after the series is over. what a goon.
Call up Tracy McGrady and ask him how he scored 13 in 30.
Iggy make a free throw!
Hey Dan Gilbert, I guess putting our Block M on the jumbotron didn't really help!
