Looks like Klay is going to alright based on what they just said, basically a bruise.

I don't know bros, I could be completely wrong, but the Cavs don't look all deer in the headlights against GS like Rockets did. They may have been game planning for this moment all season.

the real problem here is that someone exposed this, violating Bryan Colangelo's privacy

and it's quite suspicious that they would do this right before another exciting NBA Finals on ESPN on ABC

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Thursday he has been in touch with the Philadelphia 76ers regarding the team's investigation of team executive Bryan Colangelo's social media activity.

"The notion here was let's find out what's going on," Silver said. "You have to separate sort of the chatter and sort of what either fans or, frankly, the media are saying from the facts. And the first thing we have to do here is determine what the actual facts are in this circumstance."

...

Silver said he didn't have any further information on the matter but wasn't pleased it was taking some attention away from the start of the NBA Finals.

"From the league standpoint, here we are, Game 1 of the Finals, it's not necessarily something we want to be talking about," Silver said. "But it's the reality of this league."

God I am so tired of the Warriors nonsense.

Makes me actually want Lebron to go to Houston....Despite it literally meaning the ugliest, most annoying fuckball and fuckery the league has ever seen. But that is how much I am tired of seeing Draymond and these cocky shits.

JR dribbling out the ball thinking he pulled a Havlicek while LeBron yells at him sums up a lot.

nuts when they get games like that out of Love, LeBron and Larry but it winds up not being enough and they still needed someone else (or at least Love to hit some of those threes)

still think they gotta try Rodney Hood at some point in case his shot comes back, this game without Igoudala was probably an ideal game to give him some of those Jeff Green, Clarkson and JR minutes to see what's up

Rodney Hood has played like complete ass these playoffs and I'd still play him over Clarkson at this point.

EDIT: nevermind, benji beat me.

to be fair to JR, it was clear the Warriors had absolutely no plan on how to guard against that move, the Cavs just needed a way to exploit their confusion

As a Philadelphia 76ers internal probe into anonymous Twitter accounts has become increasingly focused on the wife of President of Basketball Operations Bryan Colangelo, franchise ownership is seriously considering Colangelo's dismissal, league sources told ESPN.

While the JR Smith situation is regrettable ultimately it's on Lebron because he was the one that told the Cavs to resign (at a bloated rate for JR's actual worth, natch) Smith. Let your star player be your GM, brehs.

Good, way better than expected game. Unfortunate it went down that way but players occasionally make boneheaded plays. That's basketball. Especially for JR.  :-\

Lue should have also been ready and in position to call a timeout imo if need be. (or somebody else)

Herculean game by Lebron as expected.

Yeah on further reflection and rewatching my dvr out of curiosity, Lue had one timeout and I don’t know why he also wasn’t immediately ready to call that?

4 seconds is plenty of time to set up a play and get a decent look.

It also would have been nice if George Hill had just hit his two free throws. I mean he is a 80% free throw shooter for his career.  :'(

But that's the bounce of the ball.

Everyone will focus on JR, but those refs were shit in the last 3-4 minutes. Played a much bigger part in the Cavs losing than his brain fart.

For what its worth I almost never personally ever bitch about calls. I tend to view it as a crutch. Sometimes you get calls. Sometimes you don't. I don't like conspiracy style discussion although of course individually you will have poorly officiated games.
