Curry going ofer on 3's and the GS shooting sub 22% from 3 should be a win. Don't think that will happen again.
Was reading this morning though that the Celtics changed up their D and starting doing what Lue did when coaching the Cavs and throwing doubles and triples at Steph. Might have had an effect on him but it leaves everyone else having pretty good looks and open lanes which is why Wiggins was able to do what he did. [Reply]
Watching LeBron put up superhuman numbers in the Finals just to fall short to unfairly stacked teams then watching Steph Curry win while playing like Jordan Farmar really pisses me off.
Never forget this when morons compare their rings.

Celtics were also big favorites of theirs to win the series and that hasn't been going so well for them so far. No way I'm trusting any of them to show up in the clutch after their displays in the 4th quarter of G4 and G5. [Reply]

Still waiting for the explanation as to why Durant's super team was so much worse than Lebron's.
Reminder:
Durant's iteration of a super team involved him signing a max deal with the best team in free agency.
Lebron's iteration of a super team involved outright collusion over multiple years with other super stars, including blatant tampering and salary cap manipulation. [Reply]

They aren't the same. LeBron has to bounce team to team to get another shot. The core of the Warriors has stayed the same. If Durant could have just become a part of the team instead of bouncing the Warriors would have still dominated.
I like watching the Warriors; however, I don't see this run lasting much longer as they aren't getting younger. The Celtics will be a solid team for years to come, I am not rooting for them, but they are very talented. [Reply]
