Yeah. If I was the Warriors, up 3-1 when Green was suspended, 3 opportunities to close out, twoat home, and two with Green on the floor, I would have just forfeited. No way they can win a game under THOSE circumstances.

This is a really dumb take. The Warriors shouldn’t try to get a good player because....reasons?

Not up set they didn’t receive punishment. Upset that their being football players was a motivating factor.

The biggest factors were LeBron James being LeBron James, Kyrie Irving playing to his ceiling the last three games, and Steph Curry shitting the bed. Draymond Green was on the floor for three of the Cavs four wins.

Christ, dude. This was supposed to be the greatest team of all time and they couldn’t overcome one player getting suspended for one game? That is hardly the “league determining the series.”

Well put.

You don’t have to excuse anything. My point is not that the Warriors were somehow jobbed, or that we can just discount the fact that the Warriors lost, or even that Green being on the floor would have guaranteed them a victory in that game. My only point is that it’s a little silly to construct a larger narrative that…

I have no doubt that the ability to make adjustments in a series, rather than getting your clock cleaned and then moving onto another team, is a benefit. That certainly is part of the explanation for why so many great regular season teams get beat in playoff series.

Actually, yes, he is suppressing free speech. He is not violating any constitutional amendment because he is not a government actor, but he is definitely attempting to suppress free speech. Private actors are the overwhelming suppressers of free speech in this country.

So...you have a problem with calling for the ouster of people from positions of power based on a disagreement (which is a mischaracterization of what this is, bit whatever). But you have no problem with using the legal system to try to bankrupt a media company by financing mostly frivolous lawsuits, on the basis of…

I mean, the Cavs had plenty of time to prepare as the Warrior were fighting in the WCF to a game 7, and still got smoked right out of the gate.

Yeah, I’m not going to be so quick to write off a 73 win team that very well may have won the Finals in 5 if Draymond Green didn’t have some weird predilection for the dick punch, and lost a Game 7 that could have gone either way, as having been “figured out.” Westbrook and Durant gave them trouble because that is…

Honestly, the 2012 NBA Finals. I thought The Decision was kind of silly and immature, and a particularly mean way for James to break up with Cleveland. But the vitriol he received was so over the top that I found myself actively rooting for James and the Heat. I was happy that all the bullshit about James not being…

You sure do like Tide!

So people think less of Steph Curry because of what his wife tweeted?

1) He’s not being being bombarded with questions about his wife’s tweet.

I am married. Yet me and my wife did not become conjoined twins at the brain. We still have our own independent thoughts.

No, they don’t. When I talk to my friends about something, I do not think what they say is what their spouses also think. You change your opinion of people based on things their spouse says/does?

It’s not about disassociating your feelings, it’s about understanding the independence of people.

Haha. You might want to check it. Because I ASKED if what this guy meant was that Steph Curry needs to control what his wife says. And he said, yes, his point was “Steph, control your chick.” So maybe think about who you’re defending.
