NBA Finals Game 5 Open Thread

Can Golden State close out the Cavs tonight without Draymond Green? It should be fun to watch, regardless.

the fmvp while on the bench tonight, in a loss. LeBron will go ape shit, which will highlight how impactful green has been as the lebron lockdown man. Green will come back for game 6, neutralize lebron, and get the fmvp.

I know I have the luxury of retrospect, but Green let Cleveland back into the series by getting suspended for this game. He needs to listen to the professionals around him isntead of playing Izzo-ball.

If ok means "basketball jersey that looks like a too tight and poorly designed T shirt"

Steph Curry just rubs me the wrong way and I do not know why, but I don't want to root for anything in Ohio.

In a professional sports world dominated by constant self promotion, Curry is a breath of fresh air.

He's kind of a good ol boy, but I mean at the end of the day, he's really never done anything wrong. I think that's why a lot of people don't like him, everything goes his way.

I mean, he scored a lot last game. Doesn't mean he looked like himself. You can be hurt and still have one game where you play well.

So I'm not watching the game, I'm actually watching "Spartan", and was thinking "Blech. Such a disgusting name for a show." And then who's hosting it? Dhani Jones. So weird.

Post hand check era, maybe.

Modern NBA being so remarkably soft players like Klay Thompson and Steph Curry can thrive. Would have been crushed in the hand check era.

But keep on keeping with your #HotTakes

You sound like you're parrotting a line someone else repeated so often that you assumed it to be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the damn truth.

I can point to any number of playoff games in the "post-hand check era" where the refs blatantly ignored anti-hand checking rules.
