I think the Warriors will come back to win. They were down by like 25 early to Dallas a couple weeks ago and won no problem

Giving up a lead in the 4th.

Crowder apparently bet on the game thinking he's Kobe the whole 4th..

I like Crowder but these last couple of possessions have not made him look good.
He's nothing for this team going forward. Decent bench guy, but nothing more. Again guys like him do nothing, but hurt this team.
Thank god.
fake edit- wow marcus.

We're winning it all this year and then we'll have the Nets tank for us.
Not really. He's a good bench player not a player that thinks he should be playing 25+ minutes a night.

lol poor Nets.

Of all the people who had a chance to take a shot it's fucking Crowder that does.
I shouldn't say he hurts this team, but right now I'd rather make the focus about Marcus and Young mostly, Crowder is mostly fine, but at the same time they need young guys you can actually build on, not guys that are decent depth guys. The only pieces that the celts should really hold onto at this point are Smart and Young. Thomas has a good contract but again in this conference, he makes you a playoff team and knocks you out of the lottery... a playoff appearance does nothing for you, but obviously Wyc will love it since it'll sell tickets.

This is really going to put a damper on my Isaiah Thomas for MVP campaign.

You say shitshow...I say it was a heady win after a disastrous 1st quarter. Lee was horrible tonight. Kerr should've yanked him for Speights ( I can't believe I just typed that).
Also...did Curry talk shit about Isaiah Thomas's momma or something? That guy always seems to play well against Steph- He was a regular Warrior killer in Sac and still is in Boston..

The Lakers have been playing that all year.
The upper tier guy maybe doing some cooking to solidify Curry's MVP case.

Houston is definitely the best team in the NBA that isn't relevant to the Finals.
I think the Mavericks and Clippers fit that category better than the Rockets. The James Harden Rockets remind me of the Carmelo Anthony Nuggets teams from a few years back.
Both are supremely talented but will never lead a team to a championship no matter what surrounding cast you put around them.
Carmelo Anthony and James Harden are great players who'll get there shots and stats but will never, ever get past the second round.
As for Bron, he's trolling with that IG post. I used to not like dude but I've come to appreciate him as he's grown up from that 18 year old who played his first game against the Kings. This meaningless regular season game was for ESPN and the nonsense MVP debate. Bron don't give a fuck about another MVP trophy, unlike Harden, his goal is another ring.
The Cavs will run through the Eastern Conference and they'll be playing some beaten up Western Conference team in the finals. My money is on the Cavs if that's the case.
Carmelo's been to the WCF, Harden has a Finals berth as a 6th man.
Please try again.
Harden did it playing third string to Kevin Durant, Westbrook, not to mention Serge Ibaka. And Harden didn't even show up in those finals.
I had forgotten about the one year Carmelo made the WCF but he was playing with seasoned vet Chauncey Billups and prime Kenyon Martin, Nene and limited fuckball JR Smith.
Fact remains still remains they're both the same type of player that can drop nice stats, win MVP here and there, get nice publicity outside of the court but will never ever win a title.

Sounds good to me ;o
Can I hold it over Ginobili's head since he's gotten 4 rings as a 6th man? I understand the point you're trying to make, but I don't think it's reasonable to hold that or his Finals performance against him. The Thunder team as a whole except Durant played pretty poorly that series and I can easily use the inexperience cop-out.
Melo still made it past the 2nd round as the alpha dog, no getting around it.
Melo maybe, way too early to put that label on Harden. It's only his 2nd season having a contender worthy team as the #1 option.

Are you trying to insinuate that it takes good teammates to make it far in the playoffs?!? What kind of nonsense is this?

Bu....bu..bu..but Michael Jordan did it with no teammates and hit a game winner with one hand tied behind his back..
