You should work for ESPN

I know, right?

If Houston wins, then the Cavs take the finals.

If GSW wins.....they win the finals.

Your post had a ton of typos and errors, i legit had no clue what you were saying lol but I also don’t think it takes .1 seconds to call timeout. If you rebound the ball you have to signal a timeout which takes more than a tenth of a second. 

Had 1 typo, but it was jumbled sentence of thought without structure haha. I’ve seen many timeouts after FTs this year. A few no time came off as the whole team signals before possession is gained. In that case, .1 would be the most. 

Regardless, I don’t think Curry even got the shot off in time, so wouldn’t have mattered.

Kind of surprised. I thought they'd go in a different direction. 

This just showed up on my Facebook feed. Can’t be correct, can it?

I'm going to guess outside of Ohio, Mass., Texas, and California that no one really GAF. Although I'm surprised Florida would be considered rooting for Cleveland. 

I think the NBA, more than any other league, has "fans" who root for their favorite player first, then the front running team (GSW) second.  A lot of your GSW fans (not in Cali) will be young kids who may not be on social media.  The now teens fell in love with LBJ when they were young kids, and they stuck rooting for HIM, not necessarily the Cavs.

Pretty much spot on. No league is as player fan friendly as the NBA. You'll rarely see a "I'm a Joey Votto fan but can't stand the Reds." They are Reds fans who like Votto. Same with the NFL. In the NBA, fans are Lebron fans or Kobe fans, etc, etc. Agree with your comments about the GSW's too. Used to be Miami when LBJ was there. NBA truly defines the term "jersey chasers."

Damian Lillard all NBA first team. Did not see that coming.

Oladipo deserves 2nd team, IMO.

No Iggy again for Golden State. 

MVP MVP

lol Houston stars shrink in the big moments

MVP 0-7 from 3 in a half

Harden has missed 18 straight 3’s

MVP 5/20 and 0/10

Paul 6/18 with 2 impossible garbage makes

NBA games are so much better when they play good defense!

They are playing hard on defense a lot but so little movement by both teams....some bad offenses tonight

Nice miss Ariza

Very excited about the Curry/Durant/Thompson GW 3

James Harden is clearly the MVP

Houston wins in spite of Harden. I’m still not convinced they will win game 6 or 7 though. 

Lol Draymond fell down lol

But of course Paul hurt his hamstring and Harden is trash. Warriors are so lucky with that crap

With the Paul hamstring that's probably the last game Houston wins this season for the kids!
