22 point lead and Klay Thompson is having an off night. GS looks like they have some pent up rage.

Posted this on Gordon Hayward thread also.

He predicts Warriors win Finals in 5-6 games. You can read if you want.

I found this part really interesting:

Quote
As far as what I think happens, I see the Warriors winning in five, maybe six games. They just have too many options. Not only are they historically good offensively, they’re almost as good defensively too. As long as they stay healthy, what they have is just too much, and I think they’ll walk away with the title.

I mean, if his priority is winning and he blatantly admits this, isn't that a bit of a red flag for Utah? I think he knows he'll never get through GS in the West in Utah.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

Going into this series, I wasn't sure who I wanted to win.  Now I am.  I hope the Warriors sweep the Cavs.  Yes, the Warriors have become arrogant jerks and Durant is a weak little punk, but a decisive GSW win will at least FOREVER end this idiotic LeBron vs. Jordan debate.

The othe upside to a Warrior win in four or five game is that all those who've been defending Durant would have to choke on a dull, noncompetitive Finals.

Like the turncoat, weasel, ring-chasing chump said....."Don't watch"

I'm not.

Although I do feel dirty even going into this game thread.

Only consolation is that one of these two "super-teams" loses.

Kind of ironic that the CBA changes designed to stop more super-teams from forming entrench these idiots for 3-8 year exclusivity in the Finals.

SUCKS....for us.

This golden state NBA2K cheat codes team makes lebron look like a d-leaguer

Why wasn't the KD contract vetoed for basketball reasons? Yet cp3 to the Lakers or KG to the clippers was vetoed

League was able to veto cp3 to clippers because they actually owned the NO franchise at the time.  Not sure about KG trade
