NBA Playoffs 2017 (Thread)

Steph Curry's insane 3rd quarter was something out of this world.

Leonard's injury hurt SAS ultimately, but Curry's huge 3rd was the ultimate spark to that Warriors comeback. Without it, SAS probably hangs on late.

no it was not....

refs swallowing the whistle was insane.

I'm not denying that the refs handed GSW the game too.

But it's all for naught without Curry's insane run and shooting.

How much more reason is there to believe that Zaza's play was dirty, but Horford's wasnt?

I mean Zaza's got a worse reputation and it was directly after Leonard re-injured it. Plus Leonard was killing the Warriors.

However, I feel like its unfair for me to call Zaza's play dirty(and when I saw it I jumped off my couch in anger) and not call Horford's the same.

Seeing Zaza just reminds me of how he and KG used to get into it lol

Obviously this is largely influenced by the injury to Leonard, but this really stinks. Live in the bay area and these games are usually fun to watch and good events. Most people don't even seem to care there is a game today at the moment. I feel like i have gotten cheated out of the playoffs between this and the mediocre play in other series. Hopefully we at least have a good ECF that goes 6 or more. Sweep in ECF would cement this as the least competitive and compelling playoffs every (pre-finals anyways)

Leonard OUT for Game 4.

Looks like it will be a sweep for GSW.

Kind of hope Spurs find a way to prevail, because I think Kawhi would be ready for Game 5.

This series has been an epic letdown since that 3rd quarter injury. I feel like we were robbed of potentially a great series. Leonard is such a difference maker on everything they do.

There is NO WAY Spurs lose Game 1 if he doesn't get hurt.

Even with KD and Curry shooting lights out, Leonard would have found ways to score, and up to that point he already had 28 (looked like he could score 40+).

But yeah, sad injury.

Funny part is seeing Warriors fans trying to act like Leonard's injury was just part of the game and that they would have swept the Spurs anyways..

Yeah, it doesn't look good for the Spurs.

But it didn't look good for us down 21 last night either
