Anyone else still paying attention to the NBA? Game 1 starts tonight. Not really invested since the Blazers are out but the Cavs or Warriors might be a pretty close match up.

What are your thoughts NS?

I think GS is gonna put the smack down on cleveland. The cavs have been playing incredibly well but the warriors are just too good. Coming back from 1-3 against a super hot thunder team was crazy. And the cavs have not beat them a single time this year. but also sco zers

Warriors are cooling off since theyre regular season domination, so i can see this series being an interesting one. If they are making theyre 3's theres not much lebron and cleveland can do. But if theyre cold i feel like the cavs can take them. Should be a good series but im gonna say cavs in 6. i just have a feeling the cavs are gonna get revenge for last year seeing as kyrie and love are healthy and lebron is still playing well. Im still amazed the warriors are even in the finals, thunder really blew that series lol

warriors in 5. if the warriors bench can beat the cavs, then this series shouldn't be too difficult for them. if steph and klay heat up and the bench adds in decent performances it'll be done in 5

If Curry doesn't have good games then I can see the cavs winning, but as of now Curry is fucking fire.

Well him and Thompson were pretty quiet last night and the bench still beat the cavs.

I just want LeBron to lose because he is a flopping bitch.

How long can Golden State continue to dominate the NBA? The only real threat they saw was OKC in the conference finals, and it looks like Durant has shifted his focus to free agency rather than another title run.

Warriors bench really pulled through. Shaun Livingston was fire. Now I wonder if the Cavs will even be able to pick up a win in California.

If the cavs start passing more and give the ball to someone besides lebron the whole time they can win the series.

if the cavs don't win the next game, i think its gonna be a sweep. they don't look nearly as good as the dubs

Cavs got housed last night. GS is playing around them like they're not even there; they had so many second chances in Game 2 where they had nearly none against the stifling OKC defense. Stoked to see what happens.

i know! it was crazy man. Cleveland definitely came out firing last night. I expected them to do better than the first 2 games but was not expecting that haha. And Curry was just off last night. He hardly contributed at all in the first half.

I've been faithfully boycotting the NBA ever since the Sonics left Seattle. I would feel better if the thunder were terrible but their one of the best teams now. Its fucked up!

Game 5 will be interesting. Even without Draymond, I think the Warriors will be able to wrap this up.

I'm a little surprised this thing isn't wrapped up yet. Can the Cavs stretch it to 7?

3 of steph's fouls should not have been fouls. golden state didn't lose because of it, but that was some poor officiating. hopefully the dubs repeat at home, but they need to control the pace from the beginning and not let cleveland get too much momentum to do that. game 7 is going to be lit

Officiating is all over the place. Still a major meltdown for Steph and the Warriors. Seemed like they didn't know how to play during the 1st quarter.

Good for Cleveland. Lebron is a tremendous athlete, even if he's a big whiner. Curry and GS blew it, it was theirs to lose and they let it go. Draymond had a huge game and Iguodala played okay but everyone else was pretty meh. I never even considered the possibility that GS would lose the whole thing...

Didnt watch a single second but so glad warriors lost. Their bandwagon fans are some of the most annoying in recent history
