(33,643 posts)Lol ... yeah, your team is still clearly in the cat birds seat, no question. It took the Warriors having the hearts of Champions to pull out tonight's W.
Honestly going into tonight I really just wanted to win one more so it goes back to O.co for a proper 'last game ever at Oracle', anything past that is gravy for me.
Mathematically I'd think your odds are at 75%, not 82%, but maybe it's different cause the first game is an elimination situation. At least it's at our house though!

(29,322 posts)Suns are my main team I just root for the Raptors to win the East. I actually got the Finals I was rooting for all year (last year I was rooting for Toronto vs Houston series but they got swept by LeBron).
It is rare for a road team to come down 3-1 but Golden State can do it. One of the few road teams to do it was Cleveland when they were down 3-1 to Golden State.
I hope Canada wins at least 1 title and this may be their only window.

(4,921 posts)he was the first to be really supportive of KD and was the first that I saw telling the crowd to shut the fuck up and act like adults. Though I know it means nothing to him and the world, I gained a lot of respect for him last night.

(29,322 posts)Very underrated player & an elite defender I would like to see him win a title. People were mad over the final shot but I think Draymond Green got a piece of it and they wouldn't have made it that far without them.
Serge Ibaka was also trying to quiet the few in the crowd. They ended up giving him a standing ovation when he left.
On edit Players don't want to see other players hurt and would like to play teams at full strength. A lot of these guys are teammates on gold medal squads.

(14,176 posts)They're all pros and want to beat the Dubs when they're at their best ( which they haven't been throughout the series) and tried, and eventuallysucceeded, to get the fans to knock it the fuck off. My issue is strictly with the fans, who gave KD a prolonged razzing about what might be a ruptured Achilles. That's beneath contempt.

My own Cardinals fans cheered when Kent Graham got hurt and he was their own player.
