Private profile. What is that?

Weird...It's hoodclips on instagram. Shouldn't be private.

wow. klay and steph in the 4th quarter tho.

[Reason]

durant 22/62 in two elimination games this series

westbrook can't shoot 3's and plays extra excited the closer the game is to the finish

klay and steph are cool and collected, total equanimity whether they're down ten or up ten, 6 for their last 8 or 2 for their last 10, klay acted like breaking the record for threes in a playoff game (on the road no less)wasn't a big deal at all

(in the 4th quarter) "i just didn't think we played our offense"

- billy donovan

translation: my superstars played hero ball

Okc moving the ball makes them really really good. but they didn't. Got rattled and I love the dubs to win

[Blockhead]

SOme of those shots Klay hit were obscene. He misses a few of those and it's a different game entirely. I think GS will win but it's not even remotely a done deal.

[eternalreflection]

If you are going to go through the trouble of replay can you at least call obvious fouls(and flops) too? I mean it's a totally different game 104-103 with Green fouled out.

Klay played out of his mind, Cleveland lost a solid amount of equity today too.

Russell needs to remember he's the 4th best player on the planet and not flail for foul calls 20 times either, that was embarrassing.

Honestly Klay with one of the most impressive performances in playoff history. Not only did he dominate on Offense and score 41, but he guarded Westbrook the ENTIRE game. Dude was savage and infinitely impressive.

[GUCCI CONDOMS]

From a sheer shooting standpoint, klays performance last night was the best I ever seen in the NBA playoffs. Absolutely incredible.

Last night's game was def the best game of the playoffs so far. Can't wait for Monday night.

Okc is tougher matchup than Cleveland will be.

With that said glad it's going 7, that's all I was hoping for after going down 3-1. I really like Durant but that bitch assness by Westbrook was probably poking the bear too much. You don't mouth off if you ain't won shit.

[Ramen]

Klay was on one.

Glad the Warrior's came back and made it a series, would have been a long stretch of nothing till the finals.

[Ramen]

damn, the last WCF game 7 was Kings/Lakers?

still gets me

[djjeffresh]

what an awesome game that was

you can't single out the draymond no-call without singling out plays where he was called for fouls that were not fouls which happened twice in the game. see using tour own backwards logic green should have had only four fouls at that point if not three. refs generally fucked up evenly on both sides.

unreal series. cant believe a team loss up 3-1, can believe GSW came back down 3-1.

[GUCCI CONDOMS]

Gs is going to absolutely destroy cle. Can't wait for lebron's soul to be taken...

[binary]

Love KD, but Westbrook is such a goddamn b*tch, fuck that guy.

[Blockhead]

that game was a fucking joke...the lost to the bench! this could be ugly.

[binary]

Game 2 will be a lot closer.

Bron looking really normal out there. Def lost a step...

Bron looking really normal out there. Def lost a step...

I disagree...there were a number of times he beasted to the hoop and finished strong. I just don't think he was being aggressive enough. Too much trying to back in and taking too much time and thus the shot clock expiring a number of times. I will say, Igudola and Draymond were some killers on D. Even just in the first half they got so many strips of the ball. And they were definitely clean strips. I don't think Bron lost a step, I just think he needs to be a little more assertive.

LBJ is strong as fuck and obviously knows how to finish, but he just doesn't have the explosiveness he once had where he could blow by anyone. He really hasn't had that since he left Miami. He's in his 30's now tho, so I guess it's not anything really surprising.

[djjeffresh]

lebron played well, he needs more help. cleveland also needs better ball movement and to push the pace to keep the warriors on their heels defensively. cleveland can win the offensive rebound battle significantly if they don't do iso, ball-holding bs so much. warriors are such a deep team and such great chemistry, so fluid. even when cleveland was pulling close and took the lead they were expending so much energy to score each time.

[capable_keL]

what was up with Bron's mental mistakes at the end? they were in it. GS is an actual team, where CLE looks out of sync. Kevin Love is historically bad on defense.

Bron was awful down the stretch. His near triple double makes it look like he had a much better game than he actually had. Like you said Cle was in it, and bron had a chance to take over the game, but he didn't do that at all. There was no urgency. It's the same old story, he lacks that killer instinct.
