    Please stop interviewing Curry. He actually said " we can' t afford to let Labron get off and the team get off, that's when they're at their best." Really? The towel boy can give better insight.

    Like I said, both Splash Bros. will never forget Ariza.

    Or blackout all memory. Either way.

    Found an old NBA Finals commercial that got me really amped up.

    It's safe to say most interviews are useless.

    The world needs to know: will we get the "Finals" logo after being deprived of the "playoffs" one? I feel like it adds to the atmosphere along with the jersey patches

    this might be closer than what people expect.

    LOVE'S INJURY HAS MADE THIS TEAM BETTER BECAUSE OF TRISTAN.

    GSW in 6 or 7

    Yeah, finally feeling it today -- excited for this series to get started -- very interesting match up of teams that haven't been to the truly relevant in a long time.

    cleveland just looked really good this post season. Even with the injuries they are peaking as a team. They are more disciplined defensively compare to our Rockets. Lebron can't be stop. If Irving can come back 80 percent healthy i don't see how the warriors can beat the cavs.

    LeBron is the only one with Finals experience (outside of Mike Miller and James Jones who don't play actual minutes) who will be playing on the floor. If Kerr can translate his experience to his players than thats one thing, but LeBron knows what it takes to get the ship. I take Cavs in 6.

    Warriors are an incredible team.

    Cavs were in a joke conference.

    I don't get the Warriors hate. Are you supposed to ignore a team with the best defense, best offense, fastest pace and most exciting player in basketball? Whatever.

    I guess the Warriors are just much more threatening than the Suns.

    Warriors in 5 IMO

    It's one thing to see something on film, it's another to actually do it in a game. Earl can talk all he wants, but I suspect that Wardell and the Warriors just too much for the Cavs.

    It's a terrible match up for the Warriors imo and Lebron is the best player in the league despite what ESPN says. Lebron destroyed that amazing defense earlier in the year. No one on that Warriors team can come close to containing Lebron.

    I wonder if GS would just let LeBron get 50 and not double him. That might work out in the long run. Cleveland's offense is pretty basic nowadays because of injury, but excelling because they're doing it well.

    Didn't JR Smith say he doesn't like open shots because they're boring?
