    When Jordan dropped 60 on the Celtics he couldn't get it done. Then came Pippen and Jordan and the Bulls did get it done.

    Steph needs help just like Jordan did.

    He did all he could do. Van Gundy said the Warriors wouldn't even make the playoffs if their team was Curry, Cousins, Iggy, Green, Cook, Bogut, McKinnie

    Then why are they -5? Books are not stupid. If Vegas really believed in Toronto, they wouldn't be 2 to 1 odds in game 4. Tells you everything you need to know. Vegas doesn't think Toronto will win the championship.

    No bubble bursted.. Even if Klay Thompson starts there's a reasonable chance he could re-injure during the game..

    Still you have to consider the Warriors and bench will be FIRED up at home in this next rebound game.. As of now it's a no play for me.. Will live bet instead.. Player prop plays are always a go though..

    IMO, fair value on a Golden State series price would be +175 or +200.

    That +115 is still quite low. That’s a number I’d expect at 2-2, not down 1-2.

    Durant hasn’t played a game in a month. Vegas obviously wants even action so there’s a ton of $$$ (like Goat) still on the Warriors. To me it’s foolish. The public that is on the Warriors, that assume KD will magically appear when they need him, is going to get buried here.

    The Warriors are down 3 starters (KD, Looney, Klay). They are playing a team that is on fire, completely healthy, with the best player in the game (kawhi) still not having had a monster game yet.

    Why isn’t everyone on the Raptors? This is just like 2004 Lakers-Pistons. No one believed in the Pistons and they just kept methodically beating the star powered and banged up Lakers

    Fair comments. GoldSt totally fails on the eye test. And HOW healthy is Klay going to be?

    Who is going to score besides Steph? Maybe Iguodala, but he can only do so much. I repeat that Cousins is a huge drain on this team.

    That was a bad decision by Steph to take that shot. But that was the play that was drawn up. Surprised they didn’t have him drive, and either pull up or try and get fouled, with Cousins there for a put back of needed.

    But a catch and shoot, fade away 3??? Pretty low % shot even for him. Disappointed thats what they came up with

    Curry was trash and GSW needed Durant bad. No surprise they lost.

    Steph is a great player but not an all-time great, he took that 3 late because he was afraid to drive to the hoop and get blocked, the ability to finish in the paint and be a tough phsyical player still matters. Warriors lost this series because of injuries not Steph though.

    Curry was triple teamed on every play, he wasn't the reason they lost, the Warriors had no size and no reliable scorers other than Curry after the injuries

    Steph struggled to beat Lebron the first year when Irving and Love were injured. Lebron’s best option was Matt Deladova or wtf ever his name was.

    The second year Steph lost to Lebron and my memories from that series were Lebron swatting Curry’s layup and staring him down, Steph have a stupid behind the back pass that was a turnover in game 7, and Steph launching an off balance one handed three pointer that went off the backboard in game 7.

    Year 3 KD was MVP.

    Last year CP3 got hurt and then they lucked out Playing a bad Cavs team...KD was still the MVP.

    This year he loses and is now 0-8 on go ahead FGs under 20 seconds in the Finals.

    I don’t want to hear that KD was injured. If you give the Raptors Curry and Warriors Leonard, the Warriors win bc Leonard can be the man without all-stars.

    Sick of these ‘what about’ break downs. Just because the Warriors got some breaks in previous series doesn’t take away from the fact that they were decimated this series. Yes, in ‘15 shit went their way. But, that doesn’t mean that they didn’t have to deal with a lot of bad luck this series. Two things can be true at once. Raps got lucky here, and the Warriors got lucky in previous years.

    0-8 in finals under 20seconds left. My problem is simple. He isn't a superstar. He is a star. Media overrated him.

    Fair enough, but I still think he gets way more hate than he deserves. From people who just hate the guy no matter what. If he made the shot then we’d just be hearing, oh boy he finally hit one, and he only wins because he’s surrounded by all stars. This was his chance to shut people up though, and he failed. He’s still the greatest shooter the game has ever seen, but may be missing that clutch gene.

    I could tell in game 1 steph wasnt 100% he wasnt able to move at top speed had to have some type of nagging injury or something besides that constantly doubled and tripled teamed and still averaged 31,6, and 5.
