    Baseball ... physically demanding?

    So he's fat? It's still a way more physically demanding sport than basketball. Lot of guys with guts in the NFL, too. Would you not agree football is more demanding than basketball?
    Dude... I'm not sure you can say baseball is more physically demanding than basketball. I played and coached baseball for years and also do the same for wrestling. We love when baseball players come in. They have 'baseball lungs'. It's not like that for the kids that play hoops.

    Here is my rational that basketball is much more demanding the baseball ...

    If I tried to play a game of full court basketball, there is a fair chance I might die of a heart attack. Yet as it pertains to baseball I'm very confident I could play in a double header (with exception to catcher) with a 4 beer buzz

    Dude. There's no way you could muscle through 18 holes on a cart, with beer and a bowl. No way.

    He's one of the best to ever play the game. You guys realize "best player on the floor" and "most valuable player" are two different things right?

    Hell of a game 5, no doubt. Doing his part in getting Green suspended certainly helped as he had no problems driving to the basket. But I don't think he played very well in the first two games (9/21 and 7/17 are not good shooting percentages at all).

    Let's see what happens next.

    Take Lebron off the cavs and they aren't a playoff team. Take Klay or Curran off GS, and they're still the best team in the west. That's what an MVP is.

    You think if they remove the reigning two time MVP, the Warriars are still the best team in the league?

    ^^ Yeah, I don't think this is true. I think they could lose Curry before they lose Klay personally. Curry's defense against guards is just a huge liability. Klay covers so much of that, particularly since this is the golden age of guards.

    Stats from the Finals thus far:

    Player X: 141 total points 23 assists 11 turnovers 40.8% from 3 48.8% from field Steals 12

    Player Y: 111 total points 23 assists 23 turnovers 41.5% from 3 42% from field Steals 4


    That's right. Kyrie is X and Steph is Y. Curry isn't even the best PG in the series. Although it could change anytime...

    That's crazy. My wife went to bed at 11. Can't even stay up to watch the Cavs and you're halfway around the world doing it.
