When Draymond was in Eric Gordon’s shirt for 10 seconds and Gordon swished a 30 footer, falling away, that was about all you needed to see. When that’s going in, it’s a wrap.

The answer is “very bad.”

Fair point. I felt like the game was still in reach at that point but that JR’s foul, plus Horford’s layup soon after, slammed the door.

J.R. Smith committed a “we’re down 3-0 and I’d like to get my vacation started” flagrant in a close Game 2. That was a deeply bogus play. Just throw this joyless Cavs team in the trash.

That’s what got this team 65 wins though. Last night was laughably exaggerated (45 isos!) but this is who they are. Just looking like the Thunder out there–one guy pounds the rock while everybody else stares. That might work against the sorry-ass Wolves or the Jazz with an injured Rubio. Not going to work against a…

New York gave us Trump and Giuliani. Please stop flexing.

The most memorable thing he did was try to put his elbow into Durant’s asshole while Webber delighted over his “will to win.” He’s always been a petulant, hectoring weirdo. He’s great and all, but he’s the third best PG in this series.

There is no Yanny, only Laurel.

The Raptors were the one seed too. They’d finally figured it out! Then you run into a team that owns you.

He lost Klay Thompson on a half-dozen plays last night for some of the easiest looks of Klay’s life. In the Western Conference Finals. He was bad.

He went 1-11 against the Warriors when he was with the Clippers. He’s not a guy that bothers Golden State.

We kept hearing that. But getting 45 iso shots a night and hoping crossover, crossover, crossover stepback would beat a motion offense with three of the best shooters in the league isn’t really great design.

The Rockets decided that they’d beat the Warriors by signing a guy who they’ve depantsed for five seasons. The funny part was that people bought in.

Chris Paul did try to stop Durant with some very aggressive ass-play. He was unsuccessful.

I can’t answer all of this, but I can promise you one thing: Rodney Hood will remain very bad for the rest of this series. Or career. Or whatever.

Scott Foster and Tony Brothers will make sure that no cool players get more than 23 minutes tonight. Thanks NBA!

The Process is just tanking taken to its most cynical extreme. So yeah, it’s exceedingly normal. Congrats on the five playoff wins.

The Crazy Horse one is particularly fantastic.

The whole point is you don’t have to abjectly suck to find undrafted or D-League guys. In fact, good franchises do it regularly!

Provocative take. Thank you.
