I do NOT remember that guy.

+1 inexplicable max contract this summer

Lebron also gets slapped and hacked on a constant basis, but he’s so big and strong that he blows through it, which makes the refs ignore the fouls. If Curry got touched up the way Lebron does when he drives to the basket, he’d be out for a week.

Well said. It was the takedown of Tristan Thompson early on that made me think he was out of his mind. Curry makes lots of bad decisions in the course of a game. You don’t notice them because most of the time, he glosses over them with spectacular shots. But last night, he kind of put on a masterclass in bad decision…

When Golden State is up 20, sure, ok, the game isn’t close.

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry lost his shit.

As a Bulls fan I am torn by the “best team ever” theme vs. “LBJ is the GOAT” at the end of this season.

If LeBron lost his shit and threw his mouthpiece at a fan while leaving a Finals elimination game, he’d be crucified for it for the next decade or more.

The guy hit by the mouthguard didn’t know how to react. How does someone react in that situation, anyway?

HOFers also is subject to inflation. By my estimation those Isiah Thomas Pistons teams with Rodman had roughly 45.6 HOFers

You broke it down perfectly, thanks for saving me the effort. I would argue (and did last night, in fact) that the ‘14 Spurs, last two Warriors teams, and possibly even the ‘07 Spurs, were better basketball teams tip to bottom than any of Jordan’s Finals opponents.

But fouls are fouls. Why does it matter who makes them?

He means exactly what he says, that refs shouldn’t be affecting the game by calling cheap fouls on the best players, the players whose performance will determine the outcome of the game. I mean, you can quibble with whether Steph’s fouls were cheap, or whether refs should call the game differently for stars, but I’m…

I interpreted that line as tongue-in-cheek; a prediction of the potential hot takes that will be coming, rather than Redford’s own opinion.

Yeah, the fact that you typed that second sentence, apoarently unironically, invalidates anything else you have to say.

You can’t argue with crazy, Starscreamsicle.

That’s not Redford’s take, but rather what he predicts the casual fan and/or dumb pundits will say.

Found the golden state fan. They finally got called on the same nonsense they got away with in the first two games. Your boys are human after all.

After that Thunder series, you folks in glass houses might not want to be so quick to pick up the stones.

I'm gonna have to get some blood pressure meds after all this salt.
