Given CP3's history, don't think he will be back for this series. I am still not sure Boston will make it either. These finals have delivered.


has there been an official announcement on his injury?


no only speculation

Which is odd because with 50 sec left, he made a clutch 3 to drop it to 1 point.


I'll take Draymond.

GS crumbles in the 4th quarter if the game is tight. Good thing for them is that they are stacked and games are usually blowouts.

This Western conference finals has been awful to watch.
GSW have made horrible decisions down the stretch and in typical fashion Curry looking too cool for school, and that moron Draymond Green completely choked.
The coaching has been awful as well.
On the Houston side I think it's safe to say that James Harden is a choker and Chris Paul is 100% cursed.

If this series goes 7 everyone on the floor is gonna crap their pants.

No... they are approaching New England Patriots level of good fortune. Maybe Kerr hired some of those witches from Salem.

If anything the Warriors are proving any fear you might have felt towards them was only an illusion.


And how flawed they really are.

Even if they win this series and win the title this year, other teams will smell blood now. We know how beatable they really are.

Draymond used to be the most important player during this reign, now he’s becoming the biggest liability. Thompson while wouldn’t be ideal as a 1st option on a title contending team, would still be a very realiable scorer that made any open 3 look like a layup. Now he’s a ghost from time to time. Curry was always a weak defender (especially when Kyrie made him his (bleep) in 2016), but now it seems like every player’s eyes light up when going against him. Curry still great, but he’s getting slower.

Durant is weird. I feel like this is an outliner for him but he’s struggling when he shouldn’t be.

Either way, this Warriors team is now older, slower, and more fatigued then before.

It's incredible how a team this good and stacked needs these types of breaks to pull it off. Just goes to show you how many chokers are on that team. It all starts with the man at the front, Curry.

That’s the funny thing. Harden has sucked for most of this series. It’s mostly their role players (Eric Gordon, P.J. Tucker) carrying them and CP3 being clutch as hell.

They are really NOT that great when Harden’s flopping doesn’t work.

I don't want to hate on KD, because I think he's a next level type of talent. But when his team looks to him to make plays, he doesn't seem to be the type to answer the bell. Sure last year he looked great in the finals, but Steph was also clicking, Klay was clicking, Dray played a great all around series etc. But when the parts around him aren't up to par, he's not one to carry the load by himself ala Kobe or even LBJ. So I could never put him on that level.
