Re: NBA Finals discussion
After that 41 point game, the chances of being able to trade Bledsoe for Irving are laughable.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

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

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.

Re: NBA Finals discussion
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?

Re: NBA Finals discussion
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?

Re: NBA Finals discussion
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.
Re: NBA Finals discussion
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.

Re: NBA Finals discussion
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.
