well the average games they won this season was 73 lol, which is also excellent lol. just because they had their average numbers don't mean they weren't playing well. their averages this year are great, which is why they only lost 9 games.
No, they weren't playing well. Even AI said they weren't back to normal yet because the communication still isn't there.

Like Majes said, GS played an average game and still dropped 120 on em. We still haven't seen them hit full stride yet, especially on the road. KD had 40 and Westbrook 30 and they still were soundly defeated since there wasn't enough ball movement.

Also, Russ Westbrook reminds me of Cam Newton. Young fashion diva with a lot of talent who likes to mock other players (if he was in fact mocking Steph).

Funny Russ only shoots 32% against Steph's D but he's laughing? haha. Though I was thinking that maybe ESPN is just trying to stir up shit since maybe Westbrook was laughing at such a stupid question (of Steph being underrated on defense when he led the league in steals). Metrics show that Curry had more defensive win shares than both Westbrook and Durant not only this year but the past 2.

Defensive Win Shares:
Curry
2014-2015: 4.1
2015-2016: 4.1

Westbrook
2014-2015: 3.2
2015-2016: 4.0

Durant
2014-2015: 1.0 (not a full season)
2015-2016: 3.5

why wouldn't he be able to play in the finals if they make it?

Every loss GS has had against the Thunder in the play-offs was only because Steph's injured. So he must be really really injured because they're about to not make the finals. BUT, if they do I suspect he'll be so injured he won't be able to play.

oh so when they win he's not injured, but when he loses he is injured.

gotcha.

guess we'll have to wait until the game is over to see if he was injured or not.

No no no, when they lose yes it's because of the injury. But when they've won recently, he's still injured. But he just has so much grit and so much heart. He's the greatest player in the history of all sports. IMHO he's the Micheal Jordan of basketball.

OKC's only up because of Steph's injuries and horrible reffing.

Draymond should not play another game this year. But the league already made it clear he can kick whoever and whenever he wants. Which is bullshit. I hope someone beats his ass when he does it again, because he will.

Agreed. He's making a comedy out of doing whatever the heck he wants.

Some bad calls by the refs as if they were trying to slow down the cavs. Even so this looking to be final game of the series.

Warriors aren't going down without a fight buddy, and I mean that literally. Draymond Green might KO someone tomorrow night in a last ditch effort to keep hope alive. While I'm happy for OKC, part of me wanted to see a rematch of last finals so GSW fans could shut the fuck up about Love & Irving being out wasn't any factor what-so-ever to why their team won.

Someone asked me who would win the game tonight. I told him Cleveland by 15+. He said I was crazy and they were in Toronto, Cleveland by 5.

meant will Stephen curry be healthy enuf to play if the warriors make it to finals
Umm I didn't know he wasn't healthy. Steve Kerr doesn't know that he's not healthy.

It's funny people making excuses for him. He's fine, if he wasn't he wouldn't be playing. You don't gamble with the health of your star player. They've been losing because it's a bad match-up for Golden State plain and simple.

Yet when Curry went crazy in that overtime win he himself and everyone else said he was back. He's not injured, OKC is making him play different. He hasn't faced a team like OKC in the playoffs until now for the last two seasons. Playoff play is physical. You're the defending champ and two time MVP, it's your job to figure it out.
