    Pretty insane ending to last night's Spurs-Clippers game 7. Hobbling Chris Paul's one-sec-to-go, driving glass shot... l couldn't believe it!

    This first round series was one for the ages. Clippers deserve to move on.. Their new owner deserves it too.

    Likely the end of an era for the Spurs.

    I still can't believe it. He came back and did what he set out to do.

    Choke tdk? Come on dude, he hasn't lost a playoff series he should have won,, he dragged a sorry ass 07 clev team to the final,, 11 heat were new just like this clev team, golden st has to many weapons,, I will say it again the guy is a freak of nature a true genius ,, but what he is about to face doesn't have enough help,,
    You don't like him that's fine but to deny this dude is bad taste,, he took on Boston with mo Williams as the 2nd best player on the team,, Detroit good vet teams,, 2012 and 13 the only 2 years you can really say he had the best team but Spurs actually were better dude just refused to lose to them

    He is in my top 5 all time greats and if you were really honest you can't put 5 names in front of him you also deny iverson greatness as well,, you my man but come on dude

    Just who you saw, Russell as great as he was weighed what 225 soak and wet,,
    Jabaar mj lebron magic Kobe is mine,,
    Golden st has to many dudes that can play him I would start Barnes on him then idigoula with green Thompson ,, for clev to have a chance kyrie better be ready , they better get back on defense and match up starting at 30 ft and mosgov and Thompson continue to pound back board

    Barnes and Iggy are not strong enough to guard Lebron, he will post both of them up and force double teams, then cut them up with his passing. He will be a match-up nightmare for GS. That being said unless Kyree is back to close to 100%, this will be a tough series for Cleveland to win. I don't trust JR Smith to continue playing well and keep his cool, and he's really the only other offensive threat that Lebron has that can get his own shot, if Kyree is not healthy. Although Shumpert has been playing well too. I'm going GS in 7.

    of course all that is true didn't mean to imply they had someone to lock lebron hell Leonard with Spurs about only dude that gives him a hint of trouble but it's more about team defense ,, this is crazy but trust jr in this series , it's going to be a great one

    Jordan: 6-0 in the NBA Finals
    Kobe: 5-2 in the NBA Finals
    Lebron: 2-3 (soon to be 2-4) in the NBA Finals

    Case closed.

    That all you got? Really? In losing those 3 finals did he have a better team? 07 clev his 2nd best player was mo Williams does that not equate? 11 losing to Dallas with a team that came together 6 months earlier playing against a vet mavs team that hit its stride, losing to Spurs last year playing with wade hobbled by bad knees going against a great team,, does these facts not matter? 2013 really the only year he had the best team and they were barely better than Spurs ,, going into this final with love out and kyrie 60% against a damn near 70 win team,, the insanity around here is mind blowing

    How the hell Steph Curry take 15 3's /game as a point guard and nobody calls him for gunning?

    That's just good game planning when he shoots 44% from three point range like he did this year and still was unselfish enough to average almost 8 assists per game. He really does a good job balancing his shooting and looking for open teammates.

    They love killing Russ steph gets a pass,, steph makes as many crazy turnovers as Westbrook does, but curry gets the trying to please the home crowd arguement for him Westbrook gets the can't accept robin role to kd batman,, media has spent 4 yrs driving a wedge between those two ,,
    On a side note just watch think okc picks at 14 wouldn't be shocked at all they find another star ( my fave out of this draft is the kid at Kansas ourbree ) man they can scout and draft , really only miss is alrich big dude from believe it or not Kansas

    That's all I'm saying. I like Steph, don't get me wrong.. but he just can't do anything wrong.

    I'm not really a Russ fan, especially when he comes to the arena in skinny jeans, a space suit w/ suspenders and a fireman helmet and motorcycle boots, but I respect the hell out of his game and I can say I think he sometimes gets an unfair rep.

    Put me down for $500 on a 7 game series, plus $500 on GS taking it.
