Vote on things that Draymond Green would probably do...
Say that he is the sole reason why Golden State went 73-9, then call Steph and Klay "complementary players"
Call LeBron James a fuccboi
Bank in a shot on the court at the Y but refuse to call glass
Start an exotic species fighting ring because he "loves animals"
Steal your prized Naruto doll and then come over the next day to say that he heard you got robbed
Kick a Special Needs child in the nuts playing pickup basketball

Seriously did he lose some hair or something because it looks like he could use some plugs*.

*Shoutout to our little English friend who showed up the other night we love you :glomp:



So in Monday night's Game Five we had:
  • LeBron :swoon:
  • Kyrie Irving couldn't miss
  • Steph Curry could miss and he missed a lot of threes
  • Klay Thompson was scorching in the first half, but not so much in the second
  • Kevin Love was...probably still concussed
  • Draymond Green salty about not playing
  • Harrison Barnes had a nightmare of a game
  • Cleveland staved off elimination so they could lose the finals in proper Cleveland fashion at home

Now we look ahead to Game Six in Cleveland. Draymond Green is back. Andrew Bogut is done. LeBron James looks set to put up more ridiculous numbers. Kyrie Irving has reversed his form from the first two games of the series. Also, there might be a riot. More...





































An hour from pregame, and well there's two ways to go here: embrace the heel and cheer for Golden State, or hope for more basketball and cheer for Cleveland.

BONUS: Craig Sager is working his first NBA Finals game tonight, and based on early reports his suit is fitting for the occasion. Now if only we could just tell ABC to gently caress off and give the finals to TNT order would be restored.

Apparently Draymond Green is really salty about not playing in Game Five, so one wonders if he can be goaded into picking up a Flagrant Foul tonight. If so, he'll be suspended for Game Seven and I'll laugh like hell. Complicating matters for Green is that he'll have to play a lot more at center tonight, so he'll probably be right in the middle of more physical play than he's used to. Tristan Thompson, get working on those elbows.

I don't know what else to say. Yay basketball

I thought Mad Max: Fury Road was
:mediocre:
so you should probably ignore anything else I say

I'm probably one of the few Warriors fans semi-rooting for a game 7.

I have tickets that remain unsold and I will absolutely be going if they're able to force it, probably the only game 7 for a championship in any sport that I'll be able to go to in my lifetime.

bad news GSW fans, Curry used up the last of his three pointers this season in game 4. That's why he missed so many in Game 5, he's fresh out
