    He showed up offensively. Unfortunately, Harden was checking LeBron because he wasn't man enough to do it.

    Not really. They lose whether he plays or not. The only question is whether they lose by 20 or 30.

    You know Durant thought long and hard about his legacy and how he'd be perceived by everyone outside Oakland, when he signed with the Warriors. Hell, he even had LeBron's Decision as precedence.

    Yet he signed with the Warriors. Why? Because he'd be sad at what people tweet at him? What social media thinks of him?

    He had one goal when he signed with the Warriors. A ring. Haters be damned.

    Once KD wins, all will be forgotten. It will and should be seen as a solid decision. but LeBron won't have any of that this year. It's his title to lose.

    ...and how many of those NBA players wish they would have a ring? How many fans are going to wish their team won the championship, instead of GS?

    Only thing that matters at the end is the ring. Nobody will care about anything else regarding KD.

    I just watched about 90 seconds of the game, about all they'll get from me unless it goes to Game 7 or Game 6 with Cavs on the verge of taking it.

    Maybe it's just me, but when you have a literal team of all-stars (and both teams can make this case) should you really be hooting and hollering out there on the court when you hit a shot? It's almost embarrassingly cringe-worthy watching it, I see them as less than real men in this case. Might just be me though.

    Has Klay neutered himself? By not being good?

    Draymond Green celebrated his first basket of the game like he just hit a game winner.

    There's far too much of that sort of bs in the NBA these days. That's why Kawhi is so popular among basketball nerds. Just goes out there and plays excellently with no need to act like a jackass every time he does something good.

    I can't stand watching the Warriors but in the case of your post, I imagine that the answer lies in what you said. They're doing it with and AGAINST a team of all-stars.
