Curry, Durant & Dray are right up there in terms of likeability, or rather lack thereof, with the Heat Big 3

Why Curry?  I can see why people feel that way for Durant and Dray.

Because the guy was constantly showboating.

His obscene arrogance and flailing around for fouls whenever he shoots makes me really dislike him. Not to mention his constant whining about every call

Beverly on Durant??? lol

In football that would be called a punt.

I think someone watched film of Tony Allen on Durant and thought Beverly could play like that. Beverly is no Tony Allen.

What an anti-climactic ending to DEN/SAS.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Agreed about Curry. One of the worst in showing up and disrespecting the refs. Basically like Rasheed Wallace with the refs except worse

Yeah, just so unenjoyable to watch. Some of his shooting motions are reminiscent of Bruce Lee, yet he somehow gets the foul call. Awful

People who wanted Murray over Brown might want to reconsider. Brown step up his game in the post season and Murray got shut down.

So teams go the full monty in trying to win HC for the playoffs and look at what we got...

3 of the first top four seeds already fell in G1.. Only the Warriors escaped... Well that one is a given since they'd probably sweep the Clippers.

The playoffs this Yr  I definitely think is not going to be tilted in favor of home teams... Gone are those days now as players have evolved that HC does not mean much unless its a G7...

As expected, Spurs took down the Nuggets. Inexperienced team with HCA will be exposed in the postseason.

And as expected, Warriors dismantled the Clippers.

Anyone catch the Spurs vs Nuggets??  I wish it had been on earlier than the Warriors vs Clippers.  It sounds like Jokic was aggressively double teamed all night.  Did the Nuggets just miss open shots or was their execution completely messed up?

It may seem like that today, but historically it has been the opposite.
