    Last thing then I wait for everyone else's comments.

    I am happy for Kyle Lowry.

    Long time Raptor.  Good for him.

    Alright, alright, alright!

    I love how he played last night.  I've been hard on him at times,  but total respect with that effort.  Gritty and dirty.

    The whole playoffs he has been like that.  He came around with his shooting this game though.

    I'd like to know how many charges he got this series?  He took a few from Draymond that were hard.

    He committed too many fouls in the beginning of the series.  Didn't he foul out game one?  Or was that still Milwaukee?  But yes, his offense came around and he smartened up on defense.  
    Milwaukee must be sick right now.  They could have handled this Warriors team too.

    NBA games are almost unwatchable with all of the fouls. Especially at the very end of the game. It takes ALL of the excitement out of the air in my opinion. 
    Agree and I love basketball. I find the NBA very hard to watch. the end game is ridiculous and i hate the advancing the ball after a timeout rule.  also doesn't help that the finals end at almost midnight in the East. Agree with Adam Silver they have to start these games earlier.

    and not a fan of the shit names they put on the uniforms. the town, the north, rip city. wtf is that?  i guess it's ok for a 3rd jersey but to wear that shit in the finals?  and if golden state is so proud of 'the town' why are they moving across the bay?

    I think the NBA oversteered on the fouling.  There are too many touch fouls and the Warriors are the pros at drawing the soft, irrelevant foul, particularly Curry.  I like the advance rule.  I wish college had it.  I love a good buzzer beater attempt.  You'd lose so many big shots if you took away that rule.

    That was the best thing he could have done in that situation actually.  If he doesn't call TO the game ends.  This gave them two chances though, slim and none.

    I forgot that was a tech.  Does that mean he has to sit out the first game of the year?  That puts him at the tech limit. If so, no way the Warriors make the playoffs.

    Stupid announcer asking Kawhi about his contract on live TV at the beginning of the trophy presentation .... 
    And then asking Lowery about Derozan, and then asking Gasol about his former teammates in Memphis. It was cringeworthy. She's horrible but for some reason, she's revered as an NBA reporter/announcer.

    No. Per NBA Rule 12, Section V, Paragraph c, he won't be suspended. Suspensions count unsportsmanlike technical fouls only. Excessive timeout is considered a non-unsportsmanlike technical foul.

    "Kawhi, you have so much money.  What would you say to all those people struggling at home watching you living large while they live off of assistance from the government?"

    "What kind of ridiculous question can I ask you when, in your most happiest time of playing, winning a championship, I can knock you and your teammates down a few notches?" 

    "It would have been great if she said "Kawhi, what do you say to Popovich now?  Is he your bitch?"

    I'm too lazy to google this to see if you are really right or just throwing out numbers, lol.

    You'd have my vote of correct though!

    I think it’s assessed to the team, but couldn’t find a quick answer on my Google machine.

    Great result for GSW but so don’t want to hear anything about that being a heady play by Green. It was total desperation. Refs should’ve just ignored it, which seems to be an option by reading a few rules summaries.

    I am giving Green the benefit of the doubt but he most likely did a Webber and not a heads up play.

    Gotta have something to talk about after today. Gasol handled it best but yeah, what garbage “reporting”. Fine if somebody wants to ask in a press conference but over the PA when you’re getting your trophies....players are going to give ansafe answer and the talking dickheads are going to speculate on body language and facial expression and everything else. Just dumb.
