After that 41 point game, the chances of being able to trade Bledsoe for Irving are laughable.

The chatter made more sense after Game 2 than it does now.

It was laughable prior to the 41 point game.

It really in unbelievable how Suns Fans overvalue their players. Especially players that are always hurt.

McDonough did a good job getting the 13th pick this year, which could turn out to be a bust, for Markieff's corpse. We cannot expect that generosity very often.
What was the reason to get rid of Monty again? Oh yeah, that guy we drafted rather than Doncic.

I agree on some level, but it wasn't Suns fans that suggested this trade. It was Chad Ford and his coworkers at ESPN that cover the NBA that did it.

Predictions for tonight? I think the Warriors finish 'em off. They had better bring the intensity unlike in Game 5. I think they will. They can't afford to mess with fire and let Cleveland live another game.

I think it's 60-40 chance that the Cavs win tonight.

What are the odds on Draymond Green hitting somebody in the nuts?

Curry played very well, except for the fouls (and the last 2 didn't happen, in my opinion).
But Barnes is the bizarro Tim Thomas. 0-8.

Kerr should have gone with Leandro sooner in the 2nd half, and Iguodala shouldn't be in the game.
If he's not well to play game 7 GSW is screwed.

Does anyone remember the beginning of the 2014-15 season when Love, Bogut, and David Lee were all considered good players?

Not saying they would have won, but some real bad calls against the warriors in that one. Curry's 6th was one of the worst calls I've seen.

Will the league suspend its golden boy for game 7 after his hissy fit?

It was a really bad call on Curry. He had a right to be upset, but he went a little too far. I can understand his frustration though, as the calls down the stretch weren't very good.

Yeah, it was a piss poor call. But you've got to keep your composure. Had Curry stayed in and started bombing threes, anything could have happened. The way it went down, the Warriors had no chance.

Oops I must have been in a coma after reading all the proposed trades on Real GM. For the most part this board does not do that.
