    I know Curry is at times still just incredible, but I feel like when I watch him, he’s slowing down a bit, a year or two ago it seemed he could get his shot off vs anyone at anytime.
    He’s still the best shooter I’ve seen, but it just seems like he doesn’t have that same quickness he once did, maybe it’s just he hasn’t fully healed from the leg injuries this year I don’t know.

    I would guess Chris Paul -- the master or rubbing people the wrong way -- has rubbed off on him. CP, despite being known as one of the best defenders, doesn't get enough credit for how tough and disciplined he is on that side of the ball. I don't think I've ever seen a guy his size with the strength and legwork to pen players in on the sideline without [hardly] using his hands.

    Yeah he has to get some credit for sure. Every team he has been on has been "feisty" on D. But this guy made a difference too:

    Both series will go to 7 games, no way the NBA lets either series end in 6. Too much money and ratings at stake.

    Missed most this game out with my wife. Looks like Lebron did, what Lebron does from the box score, what happened to Love says he only played 5 minutes?
    I also see from the post above Lebron has apparently exposed himself lol, not sure why that cracks me up so much - ​

    Okay, let's be the guy that's bet the Crocs in the first two series and predicted that they have no chance in this series...
