Lol to use CMH's example, which is worse:

The mom who thinks she knows sports even though she doesn't or the guy who has to go back and forth correcting her all game?

The guy BY FAR.

Like really guy, sit your "always wanna be literal" *** down somewhere lol

Aside from all of the silly greatest ever comparisons because ALL of those people have shut up, it's not sustainable to keep hitting 30 foot jumpers in players faces all year long, including the playoffs.



I have noticed all of the "we've never seen this before" talk has ceased.



Curry needs to realize what other parts of the game he can use to cause similar havoc than going for the home run 3 when he's being attacked by the defense.

Agree 100%.

That's been one of the most frustrating things to me. For as beautiful it is to see him stroke from deep, it doesn't NEED to be his goal every play. He just seems so intent on getting off a three instead of taking advantage of what the defense gives him.

You have to be defended 30 feet away from the basket, have an elite handle, top notch finishing ability at the rim with either hand, and good passing vision.

He's severely limiting himself by having that mentality.

I used the term "fluke" because last nights game was a complete anomaly.

LeBron has not hit jumpers like that since his Miami days.

And Kyrie just played out of his mind, hitting some of the most difficult shots I've seen! Especially for his height. The Dubs defended him just about as good as you can hope. Can't be mad at that.

There were only a few plays where the Warriors fell asleep defensively. But for the most part, Kyrie and LeBron were defended damn well.

I honestly think the way those two played and won last night will wind up biting them in the ***. If they come in with the same game plan (if you can even call it that), they will lose, as that is simply not sustainable.

I agree, well said.

I hate the term 'fluke', that's my issue def not yours.

I think Golden State closes it out.

Either way, he definitely doesn't look as bouncy as the regular season naturally. The Greats always found a way though.

I thank the lord I missed out on the stretch where folks were calling Stephen Curry the best player ever (?!?) I don't recall that being a thing among normals.

That said, I think he's kind of proven that hitting an over-abundance of triples in his opponents' faces is kind of sustainable for an entire season. Dude cranked in over 400 bombs this season (at a 45 percent clip, shattering his own record by 116), with too many to count under duress.

And I mean, if we're real, we're currently sitting here trying to say that attempting tough triples isn't sustainable all year, yet despite his continually abnormal shot selection, he was still hitting 44.7 percent from deep in the Finals before last night (now down to 42.3).

Further, his 22 treys would have shattered the NBA Finals record for most 3-pointers in a five-game series (Rashard Lewis is the current holder with 16). He has a chance to break his own record if he hits four in a win next game (for the sake of comparison, he shot 38.5 percent from deep in the Finals last year).

Does that mean he couldn't attack the basket more often? Of course not. Does that mean he shouldn't have stepped it up a notch when Klay Thompson cooled? Would have been nice. But even last night, in the case of how both Curry and Thompson tend to operate in terms of shot selection and long distance shot-making ability, we still haven't really seen this before.

I think GSW closes it out as well but twenty fo' won't complain about a Game 7 either....at that point I'd say it's a toss up, even at Oracle

Re: The Finals: Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Golden St. Warriors Part 2

My original prediction from the beginning still stands.

The Cavs will win the Finals.

Fully anticipate Dray getting the LeBron treatment from the crowd whenever he touches the ball. Fair is fair lol.

Yeah but that's normal. Green wasn't liked before anyway, so


well let me stop there. It's Cleveland. Nobody cares

He's the kind of player that will probably play better with that kind of treatment. They should reverse-mojo him and cheer him every play, he probably would fall apart then.
