Just finished up. Tough break, but SAS WA up 3 with less than 2 minutes to go. Just couldn't close it out.

Fun game, shame Kawhi went out.

Kawhi going down was deflating. They almost certainly would have held on and maybe made this a great series. I now see a sweep

they 'might' have won the game, but I still don't think it would have created much of an issue. I legit wouldn't worry about GS until they had 3 losses in a series.

I have never done this before but I will be rooting with Shel in the finals. Just can't root for this Warriors team to win it. Curry and Klay are extremely likable but I just can't cheer for KD this year and Draymond annoys me as well.

Full Warriors bandwagon mode.

I was hoping this would be a great series as I love watching Kawhi play but I feel its going to get ugly. Spurs may surprise and take the 2 home games but most likely 1 at most imo.

Watching the Cavs makes me feel like most felt when Bron was with the Heat, total hate. :lol:

No Chris Paul and/or no Pelicans, I have no rooting interest.

We talked about this before, maybe before you frequented this thread, but way back in the day, I pulled for LeBron for selfish reasons, because I wanted to be proven right about how great I said he was lol. But once he did that, and he's gone so far above and beyond, there's really no reason to actively root for him.

I'd be much happier seeing GS win in a game 7 Finals thriller than I would seeing the Cavs easily beat GS(not saying either will happen, just pointing out I'm rooting for a great Finals series)

Kinda funny seeing Pop go off about Zaza's dirty play going under Kawhi giving him no room to land...since Bruce Bowen played for the Spurs and was famous for this.

I love me some Pop, but he came off like a huge cry baby after watching that presser this AM.

I mean if you are going to lose a game 7 might as well let Kelly Olynyk do it to you. He is going off in the 4th

Wizard bench is so bad, starters just were gassed at the end.

Wiz bench attempted 3 shots this entire game.

I'm one of the few but I think John Wall is crazy overrated. not just tonight but generally speaking. you can't be a guard and not be a good shooter anymore. it just kills the offense in ways that don't show up in a box score
