Now Green.

Steph to the bucket and scores.
-
KD from distance
-
<p>I think they need to move the 3 point line back.</p>
-
KD with 7 straight points and OKC right in it.

<p>so bitter</p> -

<p>OKC reminds me of Sacramento back in the 2002 western conference finals. Basically this is soul-crushing for them.</p>

<p>ah well, I wanted to get off the bandwagon anyway, the fella sitting next to me farted!</p>

<p>What an epic comeback. There was so much on the line for Golden State, at 1-3 down their whole legacy as a team was on very shaky ground. If they lost it would have validated the Charles Barkleys of the world who wrote off last year as an abberation against soft opposition, and the view that a jump shooting team can't win Championships.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It would also put a giant asterisk next to their 73-9 regular season record, and would tarnish the reputations of Curry, Thompson and Green.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But now their record has only been enhanced, and their champion status confirmed. A tough Cleveland series awaits, but their self-belief must be at an all-time high right now.</p> -
<p>As I said OKC needed to win game 6.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Cavs can win the finals as they won 2 of the first 3 games last year short-handed. Now Irving and Love are fit. They will need to shoot well from outside though. It would be great if Cleveland finally had something to celebrate in sports.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Go Cavs!!!</p> -

<p>That is kinda the point which muppets like mariner dont get. Taking the 3 point line out wouldnt punish players like Thompson and Curry that much. They would still make the good shots they get. But it would mean you are less likely to get rewarded for bad jacking them up in volume. It could in fact be worse for teams like OKC than GS.</p>
<p>I like to see different methods of playing come through. But now it is becoming a jack up a volume of 3's league. Just like they have previously balanced the game via rule changes, they could do it again.</p> -
<p>This is good news for everyone:</p>

<p>Despite all of that, OKC had the chance to dethrone the champs in their hands. And they failed to execute</p>

<p>Thank goodness there was no controversy.</p>
