    On the one hand, of COURSE the league and BSPN are heavily invested in Curry and especially Curry vs. lerbon.

    On the other hand, you cannot rig halfcourt unconscious shots from Thompson.

    It won't matter even if he swears by the Bible, Torah, Quran, or all 3 of them. He's still lying.

    This seriea has been mostly fair with the exception of game 5. Adams gets hit with 2 cheap fouls early and the Warriors get a heavy free throw advantage that gets them a 1st quarter lead. Momentum and the crowd carries then carries th the rest of the way.

    After Green was not suspended for the punch to the pecker, Silver has no integrity.

    On that same note, I believe Curry, Thompson and Green are conspiring to defeat the Thunder. It's a rigged game.

    0:08 mark -- bogut moving screen
    1:08 mark -- green with an armlock
    1:17 mark -- bogut moving screen

    that being said, yes most of his other 3's were simply incredible unconscious shots

    GSW v the Land = California, Curry, LeBron.

    OKC v the Land = OKC (where is that, anyway?), LeBron

    At this point, I'm not sure if every casual basketball fan can pick Durant out of a lineup. But I'm sure most casual fans know who Curry and LeBron are. On top of that, you have Oklahoma / OKC, which, to be honest, I'd have a hard time believing most people even know where OK is, on a map.

    If I was Silver, I know who I'd want in the Finals.

    Stop letting Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut play with a different set of rules than other NBA players, and then I'm cool.

    the fact that he thinks his integrity will magically come back to what's funny.

    You can't defend what you already don't have.

    Exactly.

    Don't get me wrong. Draymond Green brings so much to the game. Defense, heart, hustle, passing.

    But if he weren't on the Warriors he wouldn't get so much leeway. At all. Imagine most anyone else, on most any other team, giving a wind-up kick to someone's nuts. The league's decision on that was ridiculous, the explanation more so.

    Draymond has "passion, fire"! Anyone else would "have a short fuse and need to learn to control his emotions".

    If Draymond played for the Raptors he would have been suspended

    Sort of is perfect.

    Quite sure they can have good influence on how close the games are and on how many games.

    Me think he's either already doing it, thinking of doing or if given the chance, would be doing it. Sort of... absolutely.

    Yeah, that choice of words gives away quite a bit.

    You people really believe in this BS conspiracy theory?

    If NBA is out to prefer one market over the other, how do we explain the Knicks ducking badly all these years?
