Hey what do ya know? A quick 2 on Klay and Durant. Such garbage. Call it both ways.

Does Draymon ever take a 3 pt shot with a defender within 8 ft. My gosh!

This warriors O is so much fun to watch. I don't care how much everyone else hates them...

No question they play an aesthetically pleasing brand of basketball.

(I still hate them though).

It's so nice of Lebron to just give Iggy the lane for these massive dunks. Great help defense in such an important game. At least the Warriors challenge guys at the rim even if they end up on a poster.

One of the many things I marvel at with Draymond Green is his ability to contest shots at the rim without fouling. He is soooo good at moving his feet and then jumping straight up and down without lowering his arms (i.e. the rule of verticality). What happens is that the offensive player usually initiates the contact, but because he didn't beat Green to the spot and Green is disciplined enough to stay vertical, no foul is called....yet the contact initiated by the offensive player is enough to bother the shot and result in a missed attempt.

I only wish Gorgui Dieng and KAT could do this better. Too often they either don't keep their hips square to the defender and end up taking a bad angle to contest the shot OR, in Dieng's case, he is trying to draw the charge instead of walling up and letting his length do the work for him.

Uh, I think you are picking on the wrong player. LeBron absolutely cannot afford to get in foul trouble if the Cavs have any chance whatsoever of winning.

I know you are rooting for the Warriors, but of all players to go after in terms of effort...smh.

Does Irving ever miss on a drive to the rim?

It's Iggy, not Durant. And it's Lebron on Iggy. He's not getting called for those fouls. The excuse of not playing defense to stay out of foul trouble doesn't apply when you aren't called for fouls anyway. You want to go down as the greatest, you play defense. Jordan stops those plays. He doesn't matador them to save fouls he never gets called for anyway.

Fun game so far. Honestly it's kinda impressive for the Cavs to be down less than 10 points right now.
