I don't understand how their bench continues to do this great when it's a couple average and below average players.

Kerr is more of a “system coach” than people think.

True. While he can be totally clueless alot of times especially with Mid Series or even Mid Game adjustments he is very good at getting everybody to play as good as possible every night. They have their schemes and their System and they exectute well.

Harden pinched Draymond, and Dray reacted with a closed fist...

11 straight. Curry 9-14 3pt shooting against Wiz. Warriors overheard telling Durant, "ehh, take all the time you need..."

I think it must be a confidence thing. The bench isn't really afraid to fuck anything up when they know that the starters can easily come back even down 20.

Wow, Coward on the bench smiling that his team can beat the Spurs without him even playing. What a bitch.

He's smiling because of how much he's achieving! Being on a team that might not even need you to win the title. What a great competitor!

The Servant is actually the perfect nickname. Durant definitely knows himself. You gotta give him that.

Coward is back Saturday, can we borrow their HGH to even the odds?

Much as I despise Mr Green, watching that clip, Harden did have a handful of the front of Draymond's jersey.

Draymond holds everyone on defense...lol

Guess he shouldn't be upset if he's met with a closed fist because of it.

At the risk of annoying those who dislike the fact that I like both the warriors and cavs, Im going to go ahead and say that I don't think much should be made of Greens knocking Harden's "injured" hand away.

If it was that injured, he (Harden) shouldn't be trying to do sneaky holding stuff with it. And as far as Green's reaction - he, it seemed, it was trying to draw attention to what Harden was doing, and intentionally knocking his arm away aggressively and obviously - which is pretty much what any of us would do, I think, if someone kept grabbing a bunch of your belly/jersey as a sneaky attempt to hold you.

I can't imagine him gently pushing Harden's arm away, while whispering "just between you and me, stop doing that. I was going to knock that arm away aggressively, but hey, I know it is injured and you probably forgot, and that might harm it further, so I will be gentle. Also, the refs might see what you've been doing and misinterpret it, and I know deep down you didnt really mean to do that. Good luck with the rest of the game"

So yeah, I think trying to spin this into another "Evil Draymond Act" thing is a bit silly.

He -is- a hothead. And it -does- cost the warriors, when he mindlessly, instinctually retaliates. But he doesnt seem like a Ndamakong Suh, or Grayson Allen "try-to-do-some-sneaky-damage-to-opponents-and-hope-no-one-sees" type. Anything he does is about as visible as it can get, including the dumb lashing out with his legs, or whatever. No sneaky subtlety.

I guess in short, I'm saying he is a often out of control with his retaliation and temper, but not a "sneaky dirty" player. I've seen people in this forum suggest teams go at him to try and elicit a retaliation response like this, in an effort to get him ejected. That pretty much says what I am saying - people know he has a weakness for retaliating. But not for initiating, really.

But that is just my opinion, colored by the fact that I don't have the hatred of the W's that many here do. I'm very much looking forward to another Cavs/Warriors finals. Ive really enjoyed both of the last two I hope it is a regular dynastic thing for the next 3-4 years.

Why does Durant have the nickname "Coward" on here?
