    Iggy is like a clutch version of Harkless/Aminu from 3.

    GS had an excuse. Lot of injuries to over come.
    And yes their D won the game.....again.

    I don't disagree that both teams are where they are because of their D.

    The Warriors sense of momentum and their relentlessness in those moments is truly special.

    Their personnel makes them incredibly hard to guard in transition and when they can string multiple of those opportunities in row....it's fucking curtains man.

    Whatever it was Toronto had many opportunities that they failed to take.

    I don't understand, did anyone think this was the NCAA?

    If Klay is out for a few games and KD, Toronto could actually win this series.

    Well some folks believe coaches are the key to the performance of an NBA team.
    They're not.
    But, they are large and in charge and dictate the college game.
    Ergo, the NCAA reference.

    I got a question to @dviss1 or some of you other guys who may know the rules better than I. Should Steph have gotten T'd up or something for literally being down in front of the Toronto bench DURING play? Cook Makes a 3 at one point and steph meets him at like 3 quarters court to chest bump. I thought players had to stay in their area? If you notice there were 2-3 other warriors over there too.

    Edit: Steph and the other warriors were on the bench not playing btw.

    Did anybody catch Grand Funk Railroad singing their hit song "We're An North American Band" on one of the commercial spots?

    Ok I found it it's about 8:40ish left in the 4th. The other two warriors do look like they are checking getting ready to check in. He might have been, but still isn't there a line for where players not playing should be?

    They are key, and anyone who thinks otherwise has no idea what they're talking about.

    Kind of wondering why Nick Nurse didn't call for a foul at the end of that game? That loss goes squarely on their coach in my book. When the warriors have the ball up 2 with 27 seconds and there is a 24 second shot clock i would think letting them run the clock down to 5 and letting them shoot an uncontested three would be exactly what you would not want to happen.
    Are we gonna start saying that the coach isn't on the court now?
    Are we gonna start saying that he can call the play all he wants but the team has to execute now?
    Are we gonna start giving him a pass because he made a good adjustment in the 2nd quarter?
    Are we gonna start praising his Box and 1 defense that got totally exposed as another gimmic that can't stop even a GS team without Klay?

    Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of Every Coach is Better than Stotts.

    5 seconds left with a 2 point lead totally uncontested? Not 9 seconds....

    I let Iggy take that shot every day of the week and twice on Sunday. By the way it's Sunday.

    I hate that strategy as well. 27 seconds left.......... stretch the game out. GS had some players on the court (Besides Steph) who who should have been sent to the line
