Nobody out there actually thinks this warriors team stacks up to the greats, do they?!?! For real?

Jeez. Curry is an all-Starno guess. Top 75 all time IF he has some more great years maybe.

Serious question - has an mvp ever had as many as no show games in finals/playoffs as Curry?

It's almost laughable at this point to someone who is even remotely objective. He's been flat terrible. Dumps in a few threes, but the Cavs are searching him out on every defensive possession, and now he's wearing down. The way to beat a jump shooting team is make their shooters guard. Too often teams try to leverage some sort of size advantage by going inside, but what you really need to do is pull their guards out and make them defend, especially when they are as horrible on defense as Curry.

GSW can still come back here, Cavs defense remains spotty and they are giving up good looks, and they are capable of a barrage. But that first quarter, yeesh. What is most laughable about the Warriors hype train was everyone lauding the offense. They move the ball, but really they are just exceptionally talented shooters. Make a lot of bad shots that are not guardable. And when those don't go in, you get this. It's too bad there are 6 days off between games in these stupid playoffs to eliminate fatigue as any sort of factor.

Refs single handedly keeping warriors in game, but don't worry, all we will get is that the Cavs get all the calls. This league is complete trash.

I love this. Tough to disagree with much.

Yup - Curry is built for the lax regular season on a high scoring team where he doesn't have to work too hard on D.

Thanks. I actually guessed 4.5, so seems right to me.

Like Cleve at that number, but didn't even consider playing it

Do I know how to call them or what? Club Dubs forgets the series of brutal calls when the Cavs were ready to turn the 20 pt lead into 30 in the first half, but then claims the refs gave Cleveland the game. I'm not sure in what aspect this wasn't a waxing. To say a game like this was decided by the official is just....
