7 turnovers already from him. That is pretty bad. He hasn't been good tonight, bar getting free throws and shooting them in the first quarter.

One of the things I hate most about basketball are time-outs, stupid, pointless and unfair. You already play 4 quarters and it is only an advantage for the losing team usually. GSW should have been up by far more but due to those stupid timeouts they break the momentum.
Cavs have been a lot better. They gave some cheap points to Curry on some dumb fouls, but apart from that their defense is much better. They won't be able to keep pace playing like this though, need to get some stops.
Irving can do much better.
The Cavs have conceded 67 points already. Hardly good defense.
GS, however, are just careless and playing it cool. They need a run early in the 3rd quarter.
I'm worried that this game may get unnecessarily complicated for GS.
I'm not exaggerating when I say this GS offense can easily drop 80 in a half. 67 isn't that bad. If not for some unnecessary fouls they'd probably be ahead. Curry isn't shooting well. Klay is still quiet.
I see what you're saying, but I still think the Cavs have defended better. GSW missed a lot of easy shots at the rim in Game 1 which would have made the score worse. I did say aside from the dumb fouls too. If they cut them out they would be leading.
I can see this.second game in a row in which the Warriors are not leading by as much as they should at halftime.
Let's see what they will do now.

Loved itCurry dancing with James
LeBron's response to that has been great.
LeBron is hilariously good.
Golden State rush their shots when they have a good lead. They try 3 pointers even from non good positions. Can't understand this... it's frustrating.
LeBron looks gassed.
Curry on fire after a lot of turnovers in the beginning. 14 point lead after 3rd quarter is good.
I think the warriors will sweep but man, lebron is so much fun to watch. Best passer in the league.
We're going to need another superstar team to beat these lot in 7, and i can't see where it'll come from. Even if Cp3 miraculously joined the Spurs, they'd have to give up too much.
Next 2/3 years of playoffs could be fairly straightforward, even more so if Lebron's age becomes a bigger factor.

Durant really wants this. What a player!
So Durants 2 steals short of a 5x5 in a fecking finals.
This is legit horrendous really outside of that, it's gonna be the most empty title in history.

KD: 29 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks (while also playing defense against James).
Curry: 28 points, 10 assists, 9 rebounds
James: 28 points, 12 assists and 11 (?) rebounds.
We are watching greatness. I have no idea which one of these three players are having the better game, but my money is on KD. Again!

Triple double for Steph.
Durant has been incredible.
His defense has been incredible too.

Curry's got 7 turnovers, so I'd take him out.
Durant/Lebron have been the 2 best players on the court tonight.
Durant and Curry, feck me sideways.
Going for quadruple double.
His passing is a joy to watch, but his attack is the most unelegant attack of a non-center superstar I have ever seen. He just forces his way to the rim.
KD's attack on the other hand
Pure finesse!Kyrie needs to step up more. J.R. and Shumpert are playing like knuckleheads out there. This series is Golden State's to lose.
It is going to be the first 16-0 in the history of the playoffs. And I was the first to say that this was going to be a sweep.
If I was Tyron Lu, I would decide to defend KD with some other player. James simply cannot do anything to stop him and is getting tired. Put someone on Durant, and hope that James can cause more damage in attack if he doesn't have to defend KD.

Curry with a Westbrook/Harden game.
I think Bron got to go for 40 for them to even stand a chance. Dude was completely gassed.
I don't think the problem really in Cavs, 113 pts is enough to win them many matches, sure they have problems but it's not just that.
Warriors are the ones who, when on their day, are unbeatable. They have 3 players in the team that if one of them on his day they can win easily, then imagine all of them on their day like today ? A massacre. They can score +120 pts each game for fun. Addition of KD to already powerful team created an unstoppable beast, while Cavs is dependent only on LeBron and irving. Even with all LeBron hopeless effort during the game he can't match what warriors are doing on his own.
Cavs can still save the series next match but if it reaches 3-1 again the no miracles is going to happen this year.

People have been claiming Warriors 16-0 for some time....while it's entirely possible and has been the second they signed KD, since when people started touting it. I still can't see Cavs not getting at least one, although the KD factor is killing it. But everything was dropping for the Dubs too, hopefully won't be so clinical in Cleveland....
Like I said, the greatest NBA team of all time for me. If Durant takes less money, they can bring back Iggy and Livingston. On their way to a dynasty.
They've a roster you dreamed of having in NBA 2k. It's unfair(not that I'm crying about it, just simply stating it).

Now that's a low blow.
That made me chuckle....almost a quadruple.
KD already said that he is going to accept a non maximum contract.
While I find it fun seeing Lebron getting destroyed, the entire NBA playoffs has been a borefest, it would be ridiculous if GSW went 16-0.
It's not going to be a sweep.
