Should probably note that Draymond was absolutely massive down the stretch of that game. Multiple steals and just generally great basketball on both ends. The guy shows up in the big moments.

Man, F the rest of these playoffs. My teams are dropping like flies.

Warriors/Lakers is coming.

Draymond hadn't scored over 20 in 3.5 years. Ridiculous performance from him.

I'll probably just watch the Nuggets, but, damn, that's not my first choice.

Thunder, Wolves, Bucks, Kings were my hopes for entertainment.

Celtics vs. Embiid isn't to your liking?

How about seeing if Jimmy Butler can somehow carry a mediocre basketball team to the Finals again?

Those other two definitely stand out as two of the biggest upsets ever as well.

Draymond learned something coming off the bench. Better score if you want to be on the floor, win this game, and get a contract next year.

Obviously your boy Barry is stupid on this one. Curry, Thompson, and Green are the top scoring players for the Dubs tonight. That's 3 homegrown players.

Cavaliers got swept tonight. You ever been a Cavs fan KCconnection?

Draymond is not a scorer nor is he ever gonna be a scorer for the Warriors. Doesn't have to be to have a huge impact, though, and he knows it.

No idea what Curry, Thompson and Green being homegrown has to do with the Kings choking out with a 2/23 from three over the final 3 quarters of the game.

No, why would I give a shit about the Cavs?

Anyone that expects to be taken seriously when they go with "BUT THEY TRAVELED!!!!" is pissing into the wind.

It's someone that went into the game not wanting to like it so they chose not to.

If you watched the games last night saying "BuT tHeY tRaVeLeD!!!" then you're right - the game ain't for you. Go watch Indiana brick open 12 footers and play high school caliber 'hustle to the spot but close out late because you were lost and you're slow' defense. You'll be much happier.

Dribbling the ball is literally the most basic rule of basketball. Without dribbling, the game of basketball would have died before it left the YMCA.

Players and officials cannot just decide a rule isn't a rule because they want to break it, or use it to manipulate the score.

How do you not see that? It literally strips away the integrity of the sport. If it's a one possession game, and one team inbounds the ball, and the player picks up the ball and walks 4 steps before he starts to dribble, and it's not called, it's shady AF and it makes every call the official made during the game suspicious and shady AF by association, which means it's possible that the players didn't actually decide the outcome of the game.

At that point it becomes entertainment with predetermined outcomes like professional wrestling, and not an actual sporting event.

Again, I use the example of football. Semantics aside, we all know that to make a legal catch, the ball can't hit the ground first. It's one of the most basic rules of football, and the basis for the forward pass. The players and refs can't just decide to call passes caught on one hop a legal catch because they want to.

Love this response from Giannis. Definitely a good way to put sports into perspective. He’s so hard not to root for. Respect to Jimmy Buckets too, though.

Grizz looked good last night. Hopefully Luke’s injury isn’t too serious and we can go take the game back in LA Friday.

When I went to bed last night the Bucks were only up a few in the 3rd and I thought man they could actually lose this game and series. I posted a couple pages back that I felt confidant that they could get to a Game 7 but I was wrong. Props to Jimmie and the Heat. This should finally get Coach Bud fired I would think.

In regards to GS, awesome team win and find it funny that KCC favorite person Barry is whining about missed 3's. I guess he doesn't really watch the NBA as this happens on a regular basis. The Kings set a team record in the 1st quarter with 9 then went cold. Shit happens all the time and vice versa. Seen Curry and Klay go for 2-15\20 individually several times. I remember that Game 7 vs Houston and the Rockets missed like 40 3's in the blowout loss. 3 point shooting is so streaky.

But the refs kept the Kings in the game even with Draymond getting blatantly hit in the head on a layup.

I ****ing love that answer by Giannis BUT for sports we seem to deem not winning a championship as a failure especially for the top teams. It is what is and I have been guilty of that as anyone.
