So about Barnes being a max player? I just don't see it.

He's average on both ends but he can play three and four and hit open threes so in this nba he's worth at least fifteen a year.

Kevin Love sucks.

Gotta give the Cavs credit, Kyrie and Lebron both played exceptional games, and JR Smith and Thompson came up big too.

Like I said, once the Warriors win this series, I would not be opposed to getting Irving. He has problems, but under a good coach he can be great.

On the plus side I think my Warriors in six prediction is coming together here.

Cavs got some momentum now. I took Dubs in 6 as well but it's looking like 7.

I think Warriors will start the death lineup in game six and close this out like they did in game four. Kyrie and Lebron won't play like this again.

After this series it's hard to imagine that trading Kyrie will be on their minds.

They'll move love for multiple supporting pieces.

Man, even Mark Jackson sounds tired of reciting his own catch phrases. Come on Mark, come up with something new once in a while

Shots just weren't falling for W's in second half tonight, meanwhile Kyrie went crazy.

Warriors are much better with Draymond. There's no question.



I know offense, and great shooting is valuable, but grit and defense is an important factor too. You need both.

Dear Mark Jackson.

No one gives a **** about your family's stories about basketball.

Momma there goes that storyteller ::).

TP that made me laugh.

GS blew this but it took Green being out and Lebron/Irving having the games of their lives to beat the Dubs.

Man, when they were up 7-8 early on, iirc, it looked like they were on the verge of going on a run and possibly blowing Cleveland out, but I guess not :-\.  Time and time again, Kyrie and Lebron made grown man move after grown man move, and Golden State, you know the rules - hand down, man down (sarcasm) ::).  Ugh.

LeBron and the NBA got what they wanted with that Green suspension. The Warriors' defense looked terrible tonight.

The Warriors have never clinched a title at home so hopefully Game 6 is the last of this series.
Take me where the Boston Celtics fans roam free without judgment from my enemies.

Unlike Lebron, it's kind of hard to not like Kyrie. He seems like an actual good guy.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

I just don't believe LaBaby and Kyrie can duplicate this performance two more games. Unless James complains Green tweeted a swear word at him, and gets him suspended for another game or two.

Unfortunately, I agree. Hopefully Danny doesn't offer too much at this point for Love, the guy looks terrible frankly.

Unrelated, Curry has been unable to put together two straight good games since he got hurt.
