Laughing off Curry's 11 rebs due to pace based counting stats is stupid. He's been slippery and in the right place for a lot of those boards. Especially on the offensive end.

Still very much at a Warriors pace. I'm shocked the Cavs haven't done what they did last year and make it ugly. At least this is more fun to watch.

Curry is +7 over his average of TR this year so everyone else must be +7 because of the pace of the game, right?

I agree. He's got 12 now, and the next closest Warrior is at 7 (Green). If it were all pace, why isn't it helping anyone else?

To the death of hero-ball and bully-ball. And to the death of the NBA refs deciding games. I hope in 10 years, everything is like GSW. Stylistcally, the NBA needs it.

Here Here. Pure basketball fans who appreciate the beauty of the game are rooting for GSW.

That was one part great effort by Irving and one part horrific effort from GS.

KD makes it look so easy. I do hate how the NBA allows the offensive player to use the off arm to push off and create space. It is almost never called. It makes defense (especially on a player as offensively gifted as KD) almost impossible.
I still like this version of the NBA better than Knicks vs Heat slugfest.

Watching the Cavs try to score late feels like I'm watching the Celtics. How is that possible when you have LeBron

My bet on Durant as MVP this series just keeps looking better and better.

He wasn't having the most stellar game up until these last 2 minutes.

Because instead of taking it to the hole or shooting a jumper, he still tried to get his teammates involved only to let them brick.

Because they play HC ball with nails in their shoes but SoSH says it's fun to watch. Yeah, in 2010. GSW, Houston, Spurs are the future.

Wow. 11-0 run. Was that a choke job or just great execution by GSW? Not even sure.
Can't wait for LeBron to skip the postgame presser again.
