    His eye was hanging from the socket. Green pretty much dissected it like he was in anatomy class.

    Draymond is known for gouging eyes. He needs to get suspended for it.

    LeBron was like wayyy outside tho, and like Van Gundy said, didn't catch it in any sort of rhythm.

    That being said, Curry probably thought LeBron didn't have Curry range lol

    GSW had Lakers dead to rights in the 3rd, and choked it away. Curry should have been in the game there and going to work. We can talk all about the Lakers getting friendly ref calls in the 4th, but when you have the King on the ropes, you take the knock out shot when you can.

    Lakers are winning the title. I can see the verbal fellatio now.

    "The only team in NBA history to win the championship as a 7th seed. LeBron really is the GOAT!"

    **** me running. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    AD is soft. That’s his usual playoffs performance when the pressure is on. He only played well last year because it was in a bubble with no fans.

    i'm not saying i want games decided on flagrants and it's probably better that it wasn't a flagrant, but that was a very clear flagrant by how they call things these days. usually javie just waits and agrees with the calls. maybe this is why if he couldn't see draymond's arms were down. draymond's arms weren't just not straight up, he brought them down right into lebron's face. way less has been called a flagrant over the last few years. you can't just 2 hand smack someone in the face with force and be like "well, i wasn't trying to." weird because i used to like javie as a ref.

    the fact that one of luka or kawhi has to lose in the 1st round is so good.
