Anyone watch game 3 last night? What a good one.
Say what you want about "super teams" I still think it was beautiful basketball. A good game all the way until the end!
I don't really pull for either team but it would be cool to see GS go 16-0 in the playoffs.
That was the first good game of the finals. I turned the first two off and went to bed before the end...lolQuote:

CLE looked good this game but Lebron looks tired. I think his age is finally catching up with him.Quote:

I heard durant is going to tax less than a max deal to make room to keep their core together, curry needs to get paid big time.Quote:

It makes no sense for him to leave. The spurs are ok but they aren't what they once were and popivich is leaning towards retirement soon.Quote:

Lots of great talent in the draft this year tooQuote:

I agree, NBA as a whole is terrible to watch. Especially in the regular season. With the exception of GSW. They actually play fundamental basketball and Steph Curry has forever changed the game.Quote:

mlb is the same way for me I can't watch a reg season game but post season it's on! I love basketball but stopped watching the reg season years ago. None of it matters till playoff timeQuote:

Lebron and most of the CLE players looked pretty gassed at the end!
Yeah, they were outmatched and outplayed. Lebron should have just isolated and drove to the basket on every possession. He couldn't be stopped when going to the basket.Quote:
