what's gonna happen tonight

i expect a warriors win and a lot of scuffling

who knows!

five triples from mo speights

speight's buckets are so satisfying idk what it is about them

its the ultimate cherry on top

whoever hoists the most deserves the win imo

obv

hoisting stats incredibly predictive of who does the best type of basketball

There is a desperation on the part of a lot of people to not admit how good Steph curry is and it's very strange

I hear this exact thought all the time now from so many people

i think its fine to not put him in a class w the alltime greats hes had what two great seasons, if he has a lot more of them then yes tho

agree w that part for sure. just the other part where people are basically like "its a gimmick"

its a gimmick how he makes the ball go in the basket all the time lol

hypothetically take away the thing he does best and guess what he's just an okay player guys!

remove one of his hands now what not that great huh

what if there was a no post-ups rule, kareem wouldnt have been v good imo

sry hook shots are considered a double dribble now

so one dimensional what a joke

wilt & kareem probably more comparable than the lebron bird types since its more about doing one or two things better than anyone in history than being in the top 5% in everything

curry elite at every offensive thing

speight's buckets are so satisfying idk what it is about them

he's like a david west

bron on dray made a difference http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2016/6/9/11893824/lebron-james-draymond-green-nba-finals-2016-warriors-cavaliers-game-3

bcz the refs are letting a lot physical play go uncalled on screens, switches, box outs and all general scrambling situations I predict a hell of a lot bruising tonight, probably some minor bloodshed, too. if draymond weren't living on borrowed time I'd also predict that the dubs could match the cavs bruise for bruise and win anyway. as it is, we'll see a little of k-love, but his minutes will be limited, and we'll see a hell of a lot of iggy.

Most 3s in a season:

1. Stephen Curry 402 2015-16 GSW
2. Stephen Curry 286 2014-15 GSW
3. Klay Thompson 276 2015-16 GSW
4. Stephen Curry 272 2012-13 GSW

^^ this is incredible to me, not only that Curry's breaking his own record (he's also #7), but that him and Klay are on there for THE SAME YEAR, it still seems impossible to me

i could see warriors winning the series in a game where dray is suspended.

agreed, absolutely incredible

i was really hoping klay would beat Curry's 286 this year

I keep thinking about Curry's 38-foot game winner vs OKC during the regular season, wondering how many players would be benched for even attempting that

well it was at the buzzer

he just kinda jogged up the court and hoisted it with 3 seconds left

i think Kanter's reaction to that will be one of my all-time favorite NBA moments, shrugging up his hands before the ball even goes in

Prob the most genuine reaction of the season, a true wtf am I supposed to do moment

Actually the rockets bench rolling their eyes at hardens game winner was probably the most genuine reaction this year but close second

I wanna see Kerr murk more clipboards tonight, Walton should just have a big stack of them on his chair ready to serve up

lol xp otm

nytimes calls the warriors "tech's team" but acknowledges that most of the people at oracle are longtime fans from oakland http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/06/09/technology/warriors-techs-team-are-soaring-out-of-reach.html

BABs team more liike it

ha

cleared to play tonight after an PRP, chocolate milk and juice infusion

my internet keeps dropping im gonna miss all the hoisting

this game is a mess already

james michael mcadoo sighting!

t. thompson earning his money tonight.

tristan thompson daily affirmation: "I swear I'm worth 85 million I swear I'm worth 85 million there's no way I'm overpaid what do they mean roleplayer I swear I'm worth 85 million I sw-"

I like TT. Who cares about 80 mil? Dan Gilbert doesn't give a shit about money, he's worth a zillion dollars.

Tristan a little overpaid but he's huge when he comes through
