Yep, great so far, Irving needs to wake up like last year, you already see Lebron will have too much do to facing a quartet of stars, KD already quite clearly too much to handle for them.

FFS american sports are so frigging silly, long breaks nonstop.

Yeah, the commercial breaks piss me the fuck off.

Warriors look like the better team thus far. Curry is playing great too, unstoppable. And Iggy being clutch :heart:

I didn't think I'd say this but it is very likely that this finals may end up being a sweep.

didnt watch Warriors in these playoffs until now, their defense is really great. Cavs had too many turnovers to keep up. KD & Steph outplayed James and Irving

Too many good players on the Warriors. With KD they added a whole new dimension. They'll be unstoppable for a while, it seems like.

hope KD leaves them after the season, as he signed just a one year contract iirc. if he was at the east we would have atleast interesting conference finals on both east and west. this way you dont even have to watch the playoffs, just skip to the damn finals each year

He sure as hell isn't Lonzo, that's for sure. Didn't this kid score 80 points in a high school game? Looking at this, how in the hell did he pull that off :lol:

Cleveland beating this Warriors team is going to be a bridge too far for them.

That's not going to happen. There would be no reason for him to leave if they win

I read somewhere Charles Barkley said about him - standing and waiting at the halfway line for your team to defend rebound and pass you the ball so you could just run and score ain't cool at all. I'm paraprhasing but the thought was very similar.

He's much more of a scorer than Lonzo is. You can tell just by the way he brings the ball up the court. He's looking to shoot or score at every opportunity. Not even bothering to look at how he can help his team get an easy basket.

It was brutal, really hope this doesn't become a sweep if this match up and inability to stop KD remains, the different match up changes and KDs Supreme ability to drive to basket (they so afraid of perimeter shots that lanes were open to him to run in) , assist open shooters, hit anything in sight, just too much as he could do everything asked of him, even defend LBJ.

Insane amount of turnovers and bricks from Cleveland. It's not even that GS were defending that great even if they were well oiled machine on defense (Green and Klay just ace role players), especially inside, but Cleveland missed so many open shots. No shooters to speak of, just James and Irving driving to basket running into bodies. Everyone else missing corner 3s all the time. Love showed he ain't a real star...

I don't watch NFL anyways, it's hard to learn to understand a sport when they stop every 5 seconds for yards won, and spend 5 minutes on talking about it and 5 in commercials.


NBA and basketball ball in general works well enough in tempos, it's just the total greed that makes every time out take ages.

European basketball is much more enjoyable to watch. shorter games, shorter breaks and less timeouts. also, when there is a whistle of a foul, travel etc, they show you the replay of that very same action, not the dunk or 3 that happened 15 possessions ago
