Then the final 90 seconds take 25 minutes.

98.2% of the players have never even heard of an offensive rebound.

So while the players have become more gifted shooting the ball from further away, the game has changed.

If that's the style you like, great.

Just not my cup of tea unless I have a horse in the race.

GS can still win this and Durant could provide a spark. But I don’t think he’s the Durant of last years finals at the moment injury or not. And fatigue causes or prolongs injuries. Catch 22.

Give Toronto props. It’s not like the NFL. These are series. The best team normally wins.

I can’t believe we actually agree on something. Don’t like the current style of play.

Love the old style of D that the teams played along with the offensive sets they used.

they won without him, they won with him, back to basically the same key players from when they won without him.

obviously any team that adds Durant is a better team, but Toronto's strategy has been to let the big guns score and totally shut down the second tier that has been such a key to their success over the last 5/6 years. Durant's points might just mean less for Curry and Thompson, certainly less for the other starters and bench guys who have not done much as it is.

and G.S. had like 10 days to rest,. Tired ain't what your seeing...it's frustration and disbelief that the magic has been figured out. They may still cough it up, but we are seeing a team that has figured it out. It was bound to happen.

And claiming they are the greatest athletes in the world does not mean they have to run marathons to prove it. Nor does it mean other sports don't have amazing athletes. Skating hard for 3 minutes at a time is very hard. But I'm talking about finely conditioned giants hanging and shifting in mid air, running 90 feet back and forth over and over, the best of them for 40 and more minutes a night with a minute break here and there.

But I do agree with most of what you are saying on most everything else.

I'm gonna say no.

I LOVE the National Bakers Association. It's like this, as a kid I played Baseball, Football and Hockey. When it came to basketball I couldn't resist wanting to crush the guy with the ball. I would constantly get called for fouls and that was frustrating as hell. So, if I didn't play it, I didn't care about it. The entire NBA could sink on a cruise and it wouldn't affect me one bit. I would feel bad for any sea life affected by a giant cruise ship suddenly entering their lives.

maybe this will be the year Brady and the Pats get that fatigue after two nearly decades of playing the most games...HA!

shoulda done boxing...seriously.

I would have but there was no gym in my neighborhood and going to Fraiser's gym would have been suicide considering the neighborhood it was in. I was built for it too. I am a huge fan of boxing though and even managed to get stinking drunk with Manny Stewart up at Caesars Resorts where Lennox Lewis trained. My God he HATED Don King. Like an hour long drunken ramble about how much he hated him. The dude drinks nothing but white wine. Orders a glass and downs it, wash, rinse, repeat for HOURS.

No local Y at all. There aren't many in Philly that I know of and our local rec center focused on baseball. It"s something I've always regretted. Oh well. 49 now and my time has passed. Tried to get the boy involved but if it wasn't video game boxing he wasn't interested. I wish MMA was around when I was a kid.

who was the kid a while back who wore the Star of David on his trunks?

I'm gonna go look...

Toronto's slogan "We the north" makes English teachers shudder.

I half expected GS to have We Iz South or something equally inane.
