E Man is arguing some weird ass semantics. I'm just saying if Green routinely kicks his leg out to try and draw fouls, it's some bullshit. It's the offensive player initiating contact, by kicking his leg at the defender, and it's been bullshit since Reggie Miller routinely did it. Did he intentionally kick his nuts? Doesn't matter, he intentionally kicks at defensive players as part of his game. 5/24/2016 6:47:30 PM |

Jesus he's got a contusion and he's wearing a martial arts nut protector for tonight's game because if he gets hit again he probably needs surgery and out for the playoffs.
If this costs me money because he's ineffective and they didn't suspend green then I will be pissed
I figured he just wasn't gonna wank it postgame, the lingering injury is a concern

Btw, I think cleveland is paying for firing Blatt this series. I think he was too good of a coach to dump for an unknown.

I think this one's gonna be a classic tonight. I got okc in a shootout 111-108
Some bad blood. Big stars. Good crowd environment with Green.
Both of these teams play with intensity. I mean the cle-toro series feels like baseball compared to this.

Donovan is getting plenty of praise. From real experts. He was bad in the regular season, now I think he was honestly just testing everything.
He was doing shit like not staggering durant and Westbrook.
I think he's got the ncaa mentality where every game it's win or go home. Strategically he's done everything right in these last two series.
I was scared he would kanter me out of this payday but he's really limited his minutes 5/24/2016 9:13:58 PM |

Man, bit if an offensive explosion by OKC. Warriors look lost on offense. It's not even that they're missing shots, they're falling into that same no ball movement, sloppy style they played in game 3.
Green looks terrible. He knows he's being watched and he's shook.

its so stupid to take a player out for a quarter to keep him from missing a quarter if he fouls out early. fouls don't occur linearly and guards can easily avoid fouling. 5/24/2016 10:09:52 PM |

I switched to cavs a long, long time ago on page 1.
And obviously after curry went down it was kinda over for the warriors that's when i put my bankroll on cavs.
I'm not worried about the cavs right now I think they win the next two.
And this okc +300 win is gonna basically let me free roll the rest of the way.
That is what's so nice about identifying a 3:1 underdog as a true heavy favorite 5/24/2016 10:19:01 PM |

Sure, they could come back and win three in a row, but I've already faced the music and realized this OKC team was a sleeper all season. I will laff if it's OKC/TO.

Cleveland found their 3pt. shot last night, I think they'll be fine. They'll win game 5 at home and probably end up closing it out in 6 or 7. Toronto can't keep up this level of play on the road. Byambo isn't actually this good a player, so as well as he's played Cleveland still has the best player in this series and their top 3 is better than Toronto's top 3.
Golden State is actually in trouble. They've shown nothing in these last couple of games to indicate they have solved any of the problems OKC is presenting. Their lineups aren't working and whether it's because of the exertion of the regular season or having longer series in the first 2 rounds than they would have liked, they look exhausted. Steph isn't able to break open, Draymond has gotten physically beat up this series, and Bogut looks like he should retire. I think they'll pull out game 5 and then OKC closes it out in game 6. 5/25/2016 12:54:03 AM |

Ws look tired and Curry is not 100% even though they keep saying so. Dude was missing layups and bricking open 3s last night. Green is completely useless on offense too. Credit to OKC as their guys have stepped up their game while pretty much all of the Warrior players (save Klay maybe) have played like shit.
Really hope Cleveland gets their shit together because fuck a Toronto-OKC final. 5/25/2016 11:10:00 AM |

OKC is a revenging version of SAS. SAS died and gave the soul to OKC. OKC vs CLE would be like SAS vs CLE back in 2007, between the two small cities. But CLE won't be swept this time.
I think GSW did crash at the 4th Qtr, which was the biggest moment. Now they only have 4% chance to win this series according to some media. So all the previous guessing doesn't make sense anymore. And Curry still has a long way to go to be the Jordan successor. 5/25/2016 11:21:43 AM |

Kurtis636 All American 14984 Posts user info edit post |
Nah, I actually think Cleveland would handle OKC pretty easily. They won't have anywhere near the match up problems that GSW have. The Warriors can't effectively go big and OKC has been able to handle the "death lineup". It's really come down to a rebounding vs. 3 pt. shooting contest and OKC is winning because they aren't giving up a lot of open looks and have been good at switching on the perimeter.
Cleveland can go big or small and Lebron has absolutely owned KD. He can shut down Durant and as long as they can hold Westbrook under 40 they'll win with ease. I actually think it will be about the same as when the Heat beat OKC. 5/25/2016 5:32:49 PM |
