Durant Hits Clutch 3 Warriors up 3-0

Image
The Golden State Warriors is now one win away from their second NBA title in 3 years after winning Game 3 118-113. Kevin Durant made a clutch three point shot with 45 seconds left to give the Warriors a 114-113 lead. Durant finished the game with a team high 31 points and 9 rebounds. Stephen Curry continues to have an outstanding series grabbing a playoff career high 13 rebounds to go along with 26 points. Klay Thompson also played big, scoring 30 points (16 in the 1st quarter ). LeBron James and Kyrie Irving played great for the Cavs. LeBron scored 3 9 points but only had 11 of those points in the second half. Kyrie Irving was struggling until his 16 point 3rd quarter and ended the game with 3 8 points.  Golden State can become the 1st team to finish a NBA playoffs undefeated The Warriors have beat the Cavaliers three different ways in three games. Game 1 Golden State played perfect team basketball (4 total turnovers ). Game 2 the Warriors turned the ball over 2 0 times and

Warriors Win Big. Up 2-0

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 132-113 to take a commanding 2-0 series lead. Kevin Durant had a game high 33 points along with 13 rebounds and 6 assist. Stephen Curry finishes with 32 points 10 rebounds and 11 assist, his first career playoff triple-double. LeBron James also had a triple-double with 29 points 11 rebounds and 14 assist. Kevin Love was impressive with 27 points and 7 rebounds. I'm not expecting the Cavs to come back and win this series, but I do expect Cleveland to come back at home in game 3 and get back to playing their game. Tristan Thompson having 4 rebounds is unacceptable. Kyrie Irving shooting 35% from the field is unacceptable. J.R. Smith having 0 points is mind blowing. On top of that the Cavaliers bench shot horrible from the field. Channing Frye 1-5 Iman Shumpart 0-6 and Deron Williams 0-5. Are the Cavs even trying? LeBron James is tired. James played 39 minutes in Game 2. He has been averaging 40 minutes per game in the pla

Chris Paul to the Spurs?

ESPN's Marc Stine reports that Chris Paul is seriously considering playing for the San Antonio Spurs next season. Sources told ESPN that Chris Paul is intrigued with the idea of playing for Coach Gregg Popovich and Kawhi Leonard. Chris Paul has never played in a conference finals in his 12 year career and has an early termination option that would make him a free agent this summer. Chris Paul to the Spurs is a great move for both parties. The one aspect that has been missing from Chris Paul's career has been the fact that he has never played for a championship franchise. New Orleans has never been deep into the playoffs and the Los Angeles Clippers is notorious for losing despite recent regular season success. Chris Paul average 18.7 points and 9.9 assist per game in 12 NBA seasons Chris Paul will also play as Tony Parker replacement. I'm not saying that Tony Parker doesn't have any good basketball left. But at 35 years old, Parker would be best coming off the
