    Kyrie played too many minutes coming off injury.

    That's not luck. That's coaching

    I don't think you can fault Blatt for that. Its the NBA finals. Every game counts.

    Lebron took too many shots, he should be responsible for JR's ice cold

    Not much on coaching as it is on the player. Kyrie should know his body and if he needs to come out. He reinjured himself on a regular basketball move. No way that's a coaches fault

    What's Blatt supposed to do? Concede the game? Kyrie was balling and they needed him. Just unfortunate.

    That's true.

    They did get 39 from Irving and Mozgov. And 2 points (15 rebounds) from Thompson.

    That's nice I guess. Still not enough. Still lost. LeBron has to carry all the weight.

    Warriors are the better team.

    Nah he did fine....he was the reason they were close. He just needed to hit that clutch shot in regulation...which he didn't.

    It's nonsensical reasoning. The Spurs aren't in the playoffs because they ran out of gas after 5 games or so vs. the Clippers and couldn't maintain their late season momentum which ended with that oh-so-costly loss to the Pelicans in game 82.

    To presume that they make it two series past that point is to presume their major flaw being magically healed - so it's not "the Spurs" GSW is lucky to avoid, it's a mythical uber-spurs team that has somehow replaced the one that lost to the Clippers, has dispatched Houston easily despite no HCA, and now is primed and ready to take on a weary Warriors team.

    It's more or less fantasy, which is fine. I can equally dream hat Spurs team into knocking off Golden State in Round 2 then being to spent to be anything but trounced by the Rockets, your 2015 WC champs. Fun stuff.

    Yes you can. If you know that losing your second best player would doom you.

    I'd rather have Bron shooting than anyone else. Something Harden should've done instead of deferring.

    How's he supposed to have known Irving would go down at that moment? He was balling before then.

    this will go down as one of the most forgettable nba seasons in recent history.
