    I still expect GS to close out the series but if the Cavs win another game who knows what will happen? I don't think GS will want the series to go on any longer otherwise the pressure will grow

    @canefan I was referring to Iguodala's comments to Adams about the Haka in 2014 as well as being kicked in the goulies.

    Game 5 will be massive today. If GS can't deal with the Cavs niggle and NBL style physicality it will embolden Cleveland to press on to force a game 7. They can't afford for their shooting to go cold like last game

    @mariner4life Cavs shot about 60% in the first quarter. You can't keep that up all game

    Lebron doing his all to try and keep Cavs in it. Kyrie gone a bit cold here in the 4th

    Klay, bucket. JR straight back with a big 3 and foul.

    Sheesh Cavs have missed some gimmes this quarter.

    JR another big 3, but that's it. Warriors win championship.

    KD will be Finals MVP.

    can't say LBJ didn't do everything in his power to win that series, just outmatched when his support players didn't come with him.

    I wonder what happens to that roster now?

    @mariner4life If they'd brought the intensity from game 4 into every game they would have made the series closer. They need more shooters, sadly Korver didn't get going. He might come on next season, but I'm not sure a major shuffle is likely or realistically going to get them a championship

    We are looking at dynasty here. They seem so unselfish, Curry and Thompson are sons of NBA players and understand the value of winning and don't seem to have ego that will compel them to demand max contracts. Especially Curry who earns about 50 mil a year in off court endorsements

    @canefan I've always been a fan of West. It didn't work out for him last year at the Spurs, but I'm happy he's got a ring. He took the massive pay cut last year when he went from $12m in his final year at the Pacers to just over $1m at the Spurs. He was on about the same this season. He was a good role player during the season.

    @ACT-Crusader he was an all star for much of his career. What he says about the team is harder in practice to do in pro sports. Hard to check ego and money at the door but the warriors seem to be able to. If Curry opts to take less than the max next season it will be the biggest signal that these guys aim to take less to stay together

    It's kind of a shame that KD attracts so much hate, because it distracts from the incredible things this team has achieved. You forget the way they have built over the last five years, drafting Curry, Thompson and Green and adding in guys like Livingston and Iguodala.

    They might easily win another 2-3 titles. And we're on track for a fourth Cavs/Warriors finals season barring an injury to Lebron.

    @barbarian Curry Thompson and Green. All in the second round. That is legendary
