    Stupid ugly b---- needs to keep her mouth shut. I'd never let my b---- lose control like that in public and make me look stupid. I bet she can't even name 3 players on the Warriors team other than the splash brothers :'(:'(

    It bothers me cause it reminds me of back in the days of segregation when black people were first allowed in sports we had ignorant white people screaming out the N word at them, and now it's 2015 and we have people screaming at this man calling him a p---- a--- b---- when he's playing his heart off leading a team of misfits.

    steve kerr is not a good coach...

    some observations i made from game 3 (i missed the first 2 games) was that the warriors were making stupid mistakes throughout that any coach should be drilling into their heads constantly. harrison barnes did not cut off baseline once for the first 5 or so minutes he was guarding lebron and as a result he scored 12 points in that time period. while subbing andre igoudala to guard him was a good idea it's not the most ideal matchup in my opinion. If I was Kerr i would've played bogut or Ezeli at center, David Lee at PF and draymond at SF so he can guard lebron. Now i realize the reason why kerr doesn't play draymond on lebron, it's because they already struggle as is to rebound and if they did that they would get eaten alive by mozgov and t thompson on the boards but d lee is more than capable of playing big minutes so i like my lineup. And also, i know kerr was one o them jump shooters that just camped out at 3 and didn't do very much else as a player so this doesn't come as a surprise to me but there was at least 5 occasions were festus ezeli caught a rebound and instead of finishing up high he brought the ball down after getting the offensive rebound and as a result he got blocked by lebron twice and the warriors scored on 0 of these plays. now they only lost by 5 or so so that could've been the difference right there if kerr had that drilled into ezeli's brain to not do that.

    just my thoughts from game 3

    kerr isnt a bad coach i dont think but it was apparent that he was clearly outcoached by blatt in this game.

    i've been playing ball my whole life so i kinda watch games differently

    Definitely agree with what you're saying. I think having a Curry/Klay/Green/Lee/Ezeli lineup could be interesting. Bogut is playing soft, not contesting shots at the rim and not going hard to score when he gets the chance. A few times he tried to do an extra pass instead of going up for a layup/dunk, costing them points. Barnes is playing scared, his shots are wide by a lot, and he seems a bit intimidated honestly. Curry has to stay focused and aggressive, and Lee/Green need to be ready for when the double goes to Curry or Klay. That 4th quarter was the first glimpse of sustained offense from the Warriors against this Cavs defense and if they play like that they'll win games 4 & 5 in my opinion. Should be hectic and crazy but they're easily the more talented team, it's time they play like it consistently here.

    The Cavs are forcing the Warriors to make someone else other than Thompson or Curry to beat them. Having Green on court hurts them, a Curry,Thompson,Barbosa,Lee,Ezeli lineup would be more effective IMO. Barbosa is their only other player that create his own shot other than Curry or Thompson, plus he shot. Green hasn't been hitting threes and the Cavs aren't respecting Iggy on offense. His inexperience is showing big time in this series. There was no reason for him to go straight up at Mosgov like that twice.

    Am I the only one that think Curry tries to be too flashy at times?

    Definitely agree with this. Although it's great to watch (one of the funnest players in the league) it came back to bite him in the a--- last night when he threw that behind the back pass out of bounds late in the game.

    Yeah I didn't think that lineup would've worked either, but I think Bogut is still a better choice than Ezeli and Iggy is a better choice than Barbosa especially for defensive purposes on LeBron. Ezeli makes a lot of mistakes young players make that you can't have in the Finals, so I think you go with the more experienced Bogut over him. Bogut has had some great moments this series on both sides of the ball.

    Most important game of the series right here. (besides 7, if it gets there) Pumped for tonight. I think Curry finally gets it going and the Warriors take it, but I'm hoping the Cavs win and take a 3-1 lead.

    Definitely the most important game now, there's a huge difference between 3-1 Cavs and 2-2 tied. In a perfect world for Cavs fans, Cavs win tonight, then lose in Golden State, and then win the title at home in game 6 with that home crowd. But i'm definitely not gomna be rooting for GS in their home game just so Cleveland can win it at home lol and thats assuming they win tonight

    Hopefully we get a competitive game through 4 quarters. The Warriors have been flat to start every game so far. Interested to see how they come out. Will they be deflated after they couldn't complete the comeback, or come out aggressive from the tip?? Is there anyway Lebron can keep this up? Part of me thinks he can turn in an even bigger game if he can be his usual efficient self.

    My prediction is the Cavs take this one. I think the Warriors start clicking on offense, but CLE keeps it close and Lebron finishes them at the end.
