I don't know. OKC is a small market and the Thunder are not a charasmatic as the Warriors. Also for a casual fan who doesn't know a ton about basketball, it's much easier to visually understand the impressiveness of Curry shooting a ball through a small hoop at incredible distances and than it is to understand…

So you really think basketball was better in the 90s than it is now? I don't see it.

The better indicator is actually the next 2 games that the Cavs actually won. And so Kyrie made one play, so what? As whole, over a much larger sample size than one play, Kyrie has been proven to not be a very good defender.

When you have a transcendent player like LeBron you can get better when your second and third scorers go out. Love and Irving are terrible at defense and if they’re not producing on offense they are straight up liabilities. Replacing those two with better defenders, and consolidating your offense through LeBron can…

I don't think many people would argue that KD/Russ isn't better than Steph/Klay. This series was never about KD and Russ vs. Steph and Klay, it was always about KD and Russ vs the Death Lineup.

You're absolutely right. If Steph had rested more in the regular season Donatas Motiejunas would not have sweated as much in the first round and would not have caused the slick spot on the floor. Kerr should have seen that coming months ago and given Steph more rest.

I noticed that too. Those fans should have sold out to try and save him regardless of possibility of personal injury. And any father in the vicinity that didn’t immediately throw their child beneath Steph to cushion his fall is failure as a father. Kids bounce back easy and absolutely love that kind of shit.

Not sure if I'm answering a troll post, but yes you are trying to do that every time. However, it's very rarely ever possible that you can do that, so it was really impressive.

Go Reds!

But did Elvis Andrus touch his head after?

Also. B

No, Odor makes $500k a year because he can't make more. He's still on his rookie contract. Every player starts out making the league minimum. The really good prospects sometimes get nice signing bonuses, but their yearly salaries have nothing to do with how good they are at baseball. Also, Odor is has so much more to…

Do you not understand how baseball works? The reason they make vastly different salaries is because of how long they have been playing. Mike Trout and Bryce Harper don't make anywhere near as much as Bautista, but they're far better baseball players.

They really should just cycle through like 4 cities. LA, London, Sydney, and maybe Beijing.

Yeah, as excited as I am about seeing Durant and Westbrook try to go super nova and take on an all-time great Warriors team, we’re definitely missing out on another possibly great series. The Spurs didn’t look like the Spurs in this series, but if had managed to bring it together for the Warriors this series would…

While am one of those people who want a Spurs-Warriors WCF and have the winner stomp Cleveland I would be fine with this, just for the irony.

Watching this just makes me wander what hand checks would really do to stop Curry. His shot is too fast. Even the tiniest bit of separation and puts a three right in your eye.

Yes there is. The whole point of it was to show how Tywin and Aerys didn’t like each other, which plays a big part in Robert’s Rebellion.

I hate Harper and I love Harper. Not surprisingly this makes me love him more.
