I think he's more athlete than basketball player and doesn't have the perimeter skills we think he does. Bender hasn't proven anything, tho he seems to have the size, skills and athleticism. Booker is probably the only guy who would fit in seamlessly on GS.
I'm growing fonder and fonder of Chriss. He has a nice little jump shot from 15 feet and in. Plus he wasn't bad from 3 for a first year player and I think he'll get better there too. Plus, I love that he likes to mix it up inside as well.

Great shooter and scorer, but limited in his movements. 2-3 dribbles then a pivot or spin. That's the extent. Will play a limited role in the NBA.

A lot depends on if they can dig themselves out of cap hell while maintaining a supporting squad good enough to win a title.

Basically, they need to trade Kevin Love or Tristan Thompson. No one is touching that JR Smith contract.
Here is an article about Golden State anticipating Durant's free agency, even before the spike make it easier to sign him. interesting.

21 FTA called for Cleveland in the first Q. Most ever... Shumpert extracting two ridiculous fouls out of sheer acting... Draymond not allowed to pull his usual crap... GS against 8 tonight

The first was crazy, but the second seemed legit to me.

After all these years the refs in the NBA are still a joke.

The Curry foul looked legit to you?
He entangled himself on Curry's arm but even before doing it starated screaming foul

That T situation was really weird. Like VG said, "not a good look for the NBA."

This officiating looks closer to Wrestling show than to a Major League game.

I was expecting this type of officiating before game three. The refs were generous in the Cavs favor in game three, but it still didn't matter.

They definitely stepped up the home court advantage in this game, but I gotta give the Cavs credit for making shots.

I'm calling it now, GSW by 15+ in game 5.

So glad the Warriors aren't going 16-0. So. Glad.

The refs were garbage cans all around tonight, just awful.

Yep, denied history two years in a row by the Cavs.

If you watched the video of the original T, you can see that he called it on Steve Kerr. It was just a miscommunication with the scorers' table.

Oh no, that's the one I thought was crazy. I was talking about Green hitting Shumpert in the face off the jump ball. Sorry, I thought you were talking about that.

I thought the same after the repetition, the incredible thing is that nobody saw the mistake for so long.

That Warriors/Cavs Game 4 was nuts. Very emotional and intense game. Wanted to see the Ws go 16-0, but it'll be a better series for this. Cavs had the game of their lives. Probably set a bunch of statistical records for the league and/or for their franchise. I kept feeling like the Warriors were going to come back, and they almost did, until they let it slip away late in the 3rd.

It's just unfair that they have Durant. He is so effortlessly excellent. They were already an amazing team, and they add the #2 guy in the league. Wow.

I got really sick of Draymond Green and his antics. Bitching about every call, flailing his arms and legs, hitting and pushing everybody. He's turning into a Rodman out-of-control player year by year. All the success may not be good for him.

Cavs got great contributions out of almost everybody who played. A lot of role players chipped in. Love/Kyrie had great games. I don't think some of these shots will fall for them on the road.

I think the Ws will win big in Game 5, but hey, who knows. It's on Sunday?
