Tried to watch it, cannot stand it. It's like Rugby but worse in every way, and rugby isn't very good to start with.

I think a lot of it is how much you are emotionally invested in a team. For the Saints I'm on the edge of my seat for every play. Other games i enjoy, but not nearly as much as my Saints.

Man, Cousins can't guard Gasol and Gasol is so slow.

Maybe. There's probably a cultural element to it as well. I didn't grow up with it so there's no historic connection.

Draymond body slams Siakam until he goes out of bounds, and the refs call it a turnover loooooool

Back to not calling fouls on the Warriors. SMH

Livingston fouled Lowry. No call

Not trying to turn this into a NBA vs NFL thread, but you don't see these uneven calls in the NFL. That's the last I will say on that lol

Curry doesnt have the room for error to put up these terrible 3s until they start going in this game... but hes going to do it anyways. Dude is amazing.

$&@? the Warriors

Vanvleet is such a gutsy player

Warriors making their classic 3rd qtr run but when you start passing to Iggy and Draymond for these transition 3s instead of KD and Klay then the results are different. Curry is playing amazing though.

Lol, Draymond should be ejected by this point

Danny Green looking like classic Danny Green.

GS needs Klay

Great cut from Curry, he's been very good tonight.

GS defense looks lazy

IKR, it's so unfair when they're forced to play with only a 2x MVP, a DPOY, a 6x allstar centre, and a Finals MVP.

Curry getting the Lebron experience tonight.

Not so easy when you don't massively outpower your opponent, right? Sucks when you need a little help and there just isn't any.

End of the 3rd. Curry doing what he can, he has 40, but the Raptors up 15.

NBA ref need a bench squad ref crew for the finals. These refs are literally gassed and can't keep up with the action.


Crazy... The Warriors would be down 3-0, if the Raps didn't choke in game 2.

It's gonna be fun watching the Warriors fans meltdown when they start to slide. We are getting a peak into to the future tonight.

This squad gave off mad 2004 Laker vibes all year.

Green going off

I don't know. I like librarian Doris Burke, not dolled-up Doris Burke.

I'll take as much Doris Burke as they'll give us. It's an absolute shame she's forced into being a sideline person while Mark bleedin' Jackson gets to be the actual commentator.

What is the excuse for that not being continuation?

Good to see Cousins is still pulling the same ********.Missing shot cries for foul while not playing defense for next 3 plays

The Boogie Grift lives on.

Just wanna clarify: Mark Jackson was an NBA coach and was surprised that Danny Green could do a chasedown block.

Kerr keeping Curry in now is ridiculous.

Warriors are down 16 with only 4 minutes left. Nobody but Curry has been able to do anything. This game is a loss. Just sit him. Don't D Rose the man.

Well, it would be over. But the refs are giving Jerebko FTs for that, so if this is how we're gonna call things then who knows.

This is ridiculous. Draymond slaps ALL over Ibaka's arms, no calls at all. Ibaka goes up to block the shot, completely vertical, and gets called for the foul.

Jesus Christ, NBA, could you be more transparent?

Hey, they ejected that fan that pushed Lowry. And he pushed him too.

Vanvleet currently has an argument for Finals MVP and that's not a joke.

Ball game.

The calls in the last 5 min have been disgusting. Draymond just demolished Van fleet on that 3. And Curry elbowed lowry in the face on that loose ball right after getting a fouled called 30 seconds earlier on a loose ball that he didnt have possession of.

Ton of Raptor fans at this game too.

Lin-sanity

Congrats to Curry for playing really well it's just a shame he didn't have multiple other HoF'ers like usual to help him win.

Last finals: Lebron puts up 51/8/8 on 59.5% from the floor. Loses. Warriors fans laugh about it for the entire series, don't accept excuses for why he lost.

This finals: Curry puts up 47/8/7 on 45% from the floor. Loses. Warriors fans immediately jump on twitter to congratulate him for being amazing, can't expect him to win without Klay and KD, that's just unfair, he had no help, what a hero.


Absolute hypocrites.

I'm still salty about the FT disparity and no call hacks in the paint... I think it was like 120+ to 60-80.

I stopped keeping track after game 3, but I'm pretty sure at one point it was like 20 to 60. It's absurd.

Man Cousins looked really bad tonight. Like bad as in doesn't physically have anything to get him up or moving on the court. Air balled a layup. I know he's recovering but damn. He's gonna be signing for 4 mil at this rate.

He's also getting obliterated on Twitter. Is it petty of me to enjoy that?

It it petty to enjoy him getting shtick when he ran away to ring chase on a team that didn't need him after turning down literally 8 times the money from us, and then lying about it to the media in order to try and make us look bad?

No.

Bruh, imagine if the Raptors didn't choke in Game 2?

I went with Raptors in 6 to start the series. I still think that's totally possible.

Klay or KD may be back next game, but it's totally possible with the shortened rest time between game 3 and 4 that they won't.

If they go down 3-1, it's goodnight for Golden State.
