definitely should have a rest day, IMHO.

if not for recovery, we should have at least one rest day to prove to ourselves that we can take 1 day off training and actually fall asleep/function normally without training.. ie, that we haven't become so addicted to the act of training that we've forgotten why we're doing it.

a rest day will make you stronger. if you find that you need 2 rest days, take two.

I can't recall you having this much frequency lately so definitely make sure you are listening to your body.. which you should be doing anyway but, worth reminding.

Damn great game again! I really like both squads but I'm feeling for OKC, they're working so hard and playing great team ball. Then GSW comes down the court and it's a flick of the wrist 3pt shot that just looks so easy. Just like that they take the lead despite not having played a great game.

Both teams are worthy of winning the series but I'd just feel bad seeing OKC lose when they've played the better basketball thoughout the series. Damn it's tough. Logically I'm thinking GSW will win with home court, the way they conserve energy, and curry being a better closer than Westbrook. Great stuff though.

Interesting that you think OKC played the better basketball.  I believe GS had more assists, fewer turnovers, higher shooting percentage, etc.  All the hallmarks of what I consider good basketball.

Russell Westbrook really is a force to be reckoned with.  Amazing.  But Kevin Durants reliance on free throws and the thunders attempts to draw shooting fouls on jumpers is really frustrating to watch imo... Also, the fact that they have so many possessions that start with a bad miss and a offensive rebound and put back by one of their garbage collectors is imo just bad basketball...

westbrook needs to chill with his atrocious flops after jumpers. that 3-ptr where he just imploded on igoudala was pathetic.. and it ended up really hurting OKC, because Klay caught fire directly after that.

and ya I think GSW plays the better basketball.. I think GSW struggled to play their 'beautiful style' vs OKC, definitely.. but what they did vs Portland for example, that absolutely ridiculous ball movement/getting everyone involved, they are a much more impressive team to watch from a basketball-purity standpoint, imho.

solid game.

but i must say, I was shocked at OKC for basically giving up in the last minute. That Ibaka foul on Curry was brutal but keep playing.. It was only a 7-pt game when they let Curry dribble around forever without fouling, then let him take a wide open 3-ptr to make it 10. They just gave up.

dno.. I can't respect that.

as for Thompson/Curry, man it's a straight up long distance aerial assault. some of those shots are just mind blowing. so much fun to watch.

CLE @ GSW on Thursday... i'm really glad this is the matchup because I want to see CLE get a chance to redeem themselves with their full squad. I'm almost indifferent as to who wins.. all I know is, if CLE is winning, i'll be rooting for GSW.. if GSW is winning, i'll be rooting for CLE. I love GSW's team, coaching, etc much more than CLE but i'm also a big LeBron fan. I'd be legitimately happy if Lebron won one for CLE.







if I had to make a prediction.. I just can't go against GSW. GSW in 7.

I watched game 5 live at Oracle. One of my lifetime highlights highlights. First NBA game and it was amazing.  Really  tempted to go game 7 but I'm back in LA and it would be a mission to drive back north Cal. I'm routing for okc but i really  respect the Warriors as a team and fan base.  Can't wait!

whoa.. that's sick!

that arena must have been so amp'd up.. OKC and GSW stadiums/fans are impressive.

ya adams is so beast.

draymon posterized.

Seriously though, I love the DG was posterized too.  So much to love about that play.  I love the DG still had a bunch of blocks that game because he has no fear, he doesn't fear getting dunked on despite being undersized he keeps making an effort and can live with the fact that helping his team as one of the greatest 6'7" shot blockers of all time you will on occasion get completely posterized!

ya reminds me of alonzo mourning.. he's been dunked on so many times, but that's because he'd go up and challenge pretty much every dunk. I respect that alot more than moving out of the way.

Also love that the underrated Adams got a chance to show out what a beast he is.  I thought about how the commentary blamed OKC about how they lost cause KD and RW were playing "hero ball" and realized that the reason they play such blatant hero ball is because they usually don't get punished for it because of their selfless supporting cast... I mean how many times does Roberson or Adams or somebody convert an airball or bad miss into a bucket or extra possession?  These guys are so good at cleaning up the glass that a bad miss is hardly disincentivised...  Nice to see the major improved Steven Adams get a chance to shine once in awhile!

adams is straight up rugged.

two bigs that emerged during this year's playoffs:
- steven adams & bismack biyombo

good point.. and I mean who else does OKC even have that is a consistent scorer? OKC is far better off if they get waiters/ibaka/adams involved more offensively but those guys aren't consistent enough to do that every game.

OKC pretty much had that game. The real "hero ball" issue, to me, is when WB/KD (mostly WB) have sloppy turnovers at the end.. they had a few major turnovers at the end of game 6 that just did them in.. for the most part, that was really just great defense by igoudala though.

I don't want to be an educated human being anymore. I want to be a blatantly stupid idiot, a savage retard, which should come naturally to me. No censorship whatsoever. Just pure stupidity and hatred. Yes, having hate is a problem because it means you still care about stuff, I have to find a way to undo this paradox. I will try to find a way towards that goal (unless having a goal means I still care about not caring... fuck... this is getting problematic).

Being nice doesn't matter. All the jerks out there are being appreciated, being nice is just "cute". Doesn't carry any weight whatsoever. At least saying disgraceful, hateful things generates some emotional response.

and you really just want someone to acknowledge you!! awe!!

harden up.

He doesn't have to do anything. I just have to not like him, that's enough. I don't care if that's harsh or ignorant, I'm going to say what I think about him. I don't give a shit anymore, man. I'm literally crazy. I don't give a fuck. For me, Draymond Green is a monkey, because he looks like a monkey and acts like a monkey, kicking people, yelling, "acting passionately" (an euphemism for "acting like a monkey") and fouling left and right, kicking Steven Adams in the balls twice (intentionally - don't bring me the "oh but it was by accident, he was trying to draw a foul" rhetoric) - so FOR ME, he's a piece of shit that makes me wanna turn off the game when I see him.

I don't give a fuck - I don't have a censoring mechanism anymore. Neg me all you want, I don't give a fuck. I will say what I really believe because, even when you're trying to be nice, educated, smart, all that - it doesn't matter. Nothing matters. People can fuck off.

you just keep getting weaker.

it's really hard for me to take anything you've said on politics, religion, science etc seriously when you're coming off as the antithesis of an educated human being. as you eluded to.. you were just "trying" to be nice, educated, etc? well sure, be who you are.. if being nice/educated really isn't you, then stop putting on the act. just pick one and stick with it.

you're not special; you do have a censoring mechanism. you also could express your distaste for green, more tastefully.

briefly, I don't believe you when you say "nothing matters". in your post, you mention several things that matter to you. you also have hundreds of things that matter to you & stress you out, depress you, etc. it's really easy to type "nothing matters" but if you really believed it, I imagine you would be so much happier. Small things like how much money people make, their jobs, women, politics, Draymond Green, etc wouldn't cause one ounce of anger within you... but that's not the case. so no need to put on the act.



anyway.. Draymond is solid. I love his energy/passion on the court. He just needs to make sure he tones it down a notch when he's on the verge of doing something dirty. And beyond that, I have no idea how he is in his "real life", not his "sports entertainment life". Fans need to remember to separate the two. I imagine he'd be a pretty cool guy in person. He's always smiling, laughing, positive, seems pretty up beat.

I love that the monkey Green was posterized. I hate that piece of shit. Can't root for GSW while that monkey plays there.

monkey is a bit harsh + ignorant, no?

also.. why is he a piece of shit? maybe you don't like his style of play on the court but i'm not aware of anything he has done IRL to consider him a piece of shit? enlighten me of the various crimes/atrocities & such that Green has committed?

absolutely

ridiculous

game.



I couldn't sit down for the entire second half. I might have lost my voice a bit.

What an amazing performance from Klay. Lights out, unconscious, no hesitation shooting from everywhere on the court.

Igoudala's DEFENSE ftw.

Curry also showed up in the 2nd half.. hitting daggers.

GSW just battled back from the grave, slowly, knocking down 3's while OKC knocked down 2's.. slowly digging themselves out. Once they got that lead, it seemed over. OKC had nothing.

Now GSW has to close out.

unreal.

man.. nail-biter game.

i'm really hoping GSW can just play CLEAN in the second half.. so many sloppy/unforced turnovers. please, just clean that up..

also i'd like to see curry get more aggressive. he's passed up some good shots in the paint.

and man klay keep ballin.
