Guess Kerr and Curry won't have to decline a White House invitation


Technically the Raptors won't either

Blue star for you!

I'm not even talking about Harden winning a championship. You say Curry gets bailed out by the refs, but yet Harden bases his entire game around trying to draw fouls.

Great play call by Kerr there...Curry had a decent look just missed it.
Why shoot a 3 there?
Dumb shot. Drive and draw foul if you're curry and the best ft shooter in league.
They were down by one

Bahaha hahahahaha. Absolute ****ing idiots.

Curry is absolutely awful without other superstars. That is 100% clear at this point. He's a gimmick. Harden plays with similar talent as this every game. Curry can't even make a shot without the refs bailing him out.
Oh the irony in that statement is comical


Go ahead and point it out. Harden can't win the big one. He puts the team on his back all year and fades in the playoffs. That's always been the case.

Curry on the other, without Durant and Thompson, literally can't do anything. When teams can focus 100% on him, he's a nobody. Harden at least still gets his.

Curry is an MVP on a team with 4 all stars only. Anywhere else and he's his brother.


"Literally can't do anything"? He had 20+ points and they almost won. He had a look to win the game, didn't go in. That's basketball.

I'm a Rockets fan, but Harden had his chance to win against a team with no Durant. He faded, Curry showed up and won.

Kawhi allowed himself 5 seconds of celebration before going stone cold and hugging it out with the Warriors players

Has there ever been a more boring or ho-hum champion in any of the 3 major sports?

Toronto winning the NBA title is the equivalent of the Tampa Rays winning the world series or the Cincinnati Bengals winning the Super Bowl.

And the fouls that are called are legit. Almost every single time. Stop fouling him and it won't be an issue.

Curry on the other hand gets calls for the most phantom **** ever.

And when his other superstars were gone, he wasn't much more than a free throw shooter after a phantom tripping call. I'm not defending Harden. Just saying that Curry would not come close to Hardens production if he was on a similar team.

Thank goodness parity in the NBA has now been restored. Now maybe Kawhi can go to the Clippers and they win their first NBA title next year to continue this new trend.

A little ironic that one of the best teams in NBA history has now lost in the finals to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors.

Kind of have to put an asterisk next to this finals for the raptors. Would love to see how the raptors would have fared against a fully healthy warriors team with KD and klay not injured

Agree. That was only a good look if you were down 3, not 1. Awful decision by Curry to not pump fake and drive there. Worst case he's shooting a wide open floater from 15 feet going at the basket. Dumb.

When the teams had equal talent, Toronto owned them. Put an asterisk on it all you want. Toronto dominated the series. I know Golden State needs double the talent of anyone they play to win. It can't always be that way. They've been historically lucky with injuries for a long ass time.

Warriors probably wins the series if fully healthy. But that is the breaks. Injury luck.

Worst injury luck for an NBA Finals team since the Lakers lost both Magic and Bryon Scott to injuries vs the Pistons, Scott in a practice before Game 1 and Magic during Game 1 if I recall. Pistons swept them in a dud series because James Worthy was awesome but could only do so much. Still counts as an NBA title for Detroit.

the Warriors were probably (rightfully) assuming the Raptors would simply double Curry if he got the ball out of bounds and force somebody else to make a play. Same way Warriors simply doubled Kawhi on that last shot in Gsme 5 and made him give it up.

And IMO trying a floater in that situation probably a lot harder shot than a catch and shoot three. And refs usually swallow whistles in those kind of deals unless really blatant.

It was a good look IMO that got their best player taking the shot. But what is that saying, it's a make or miss league.

Ok is there an asterisk on last years title when CP3 when out? Injuries happen, too bad the Warriors had to play the 2nd half with 3 allstars(instead of 5)and 2 Finals MVP's... give credit Tor won every single game on their floor.

Was thinking about that 1989 NBA Finals with the injuries to the Lakers and how their stars was out, but you have to take advantage of that.
