They should have some scrub bench player sweep Curry's leg in game 1.

Well, they did pickup Kendrick Perkins about a month ago and he's a well known goon, you should know that from his time in Boston.

So far he's logged exactly zero minutes and almost got into a fight with Drake at one of the Raptors games.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Big Perk find his way into a game if they play the Warriors.

They did pretty well without Curry. But you cannot say the same of Cleveland if they didn't have Lebron.

Without Lebron Cleveland would be "meh", but probably still sneak into the playoffs to lose in the first round. I don't think Tyron Lue can coach and the team is not built around KLove.

Meanwhile, without Curry, the Warriors still have Durant, Green, and Thompson.

NBA CotY fired.

The real coach of the year in the NBA is coaching his team in the Eastern Conference Finals this weekend.

Agreed. Lebron has surpassed MJ, imho, and is now the greatest player ever.

I want to argue, but I don't think I can.

I did not see that game coming.

Stevens already has game 2 in his head and said "I feel like the Cavs will throw a heavy weight punch at us in response."

Didn't 538 say Hillary had a 99% chance to win?

It has the damn Warriors as underdogs still. Sometimes stats are stupid.

NO. 538 actually was ATTACKED for saying Trump had a 22% chance of winning. HuffPo said 99%.

Houston has home advantage. So that's probably what's accounting for the tilt.

The NBA playoffs always remind me why I don't watch the NBA regularly or respect it. The officials are horrendous. They rarely have control of a game and play to the home crowd.

It amazes me that there aren't more fights and/or injuries.
