    That was amazing. I am so happy.

    Let's end this in game 5 and have the last chant ever in Oracle Arena be "We the North"

    It's certainly easier to win 1 than it is to win 3 in a row.

    It was pretty cool hearing the chant, i was surprised how loud it was.

    We invaded that arena :P

    As a lifelong Indians fan I have to disagree. I certainly don't wish this pain on others, but I get rationally twitchy at the prospects of a team winning when they are up 3-1 in any sport.

    The Oracle Arena is an indoor arena located in Oakland, California, United States, and is the home of the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The arena is currently owned by Kawhi Leonard and the Toronto Raptors.

    Any team with Durant as the centerpiece isn't winning the championship.

    Also if you break your jaw you shouldn't go out and play a sport, it's very stupid to do that. The post playoffs injury report from NHL teams is kinda horrifying! They shouldn't do that, it's stupid!

    It's fine by me, I can't stand the Warriors or Durant. The point I was trying to make is it doesn't seem (from every clip I've seen of him since he was injured) that he gives a shit about the playoffs. It also makes the cupcake label fit him even better.

    I know, I can’t think of any teams that have blown a 3-1 series lead in the NBA Finals.

    the hockey players are tougher than basketball players is one of the most toxic and bullshit memes.

    please like my sport nonsense.

    also the idea that Durant doesn't care doesn't play, even for a second.

    I think KD would be crazy to rush back to win 3 more. If that makes me soft, so be it.

    if kd comes back and they win 3 straight it's one of the more impressive stories legacy wise, could see him taking the shot

    I get being happy your team won, but I know a lot of diehard Warriors fans who were priced out of these games who stuck with this team through its worst years. They never got the chance to say goodbye to the place, and in their stead are a bunch of fair weather bandwagon fans who paid a bunch of money that the rest of us can't afford only to walk away before the game was even over.

    I think it sucks for them a lot to hear a bunch of transplants and wealthy outsiders swoop in on what may very well be the last game ever played in Oracle Arena and hear chants for another team because all of the so-called Warriors fans who could afford the tickets couldn't be assed to stick around.

    At this point Golden State should try a game with Bogut, Cousins and Looney making a wall and having Curry shoot over the top of it.

    You're right, of course. It sucks that the reputation of warriors fans has had a giant dump taken on it by rich san francisco assholes.

    That being said, I'm not using a lot of nut energy being sad for warriors fans. Basketball has been a little better than ok for them recently.

    Also, the warriors herbs do a ton of this kind of thing themselves. Look no farther than the blazer series where the two games at Moda were stuffed with obnoxious warriors fans. The downtown was also full of rowdy warriors drunks looking for trouble as well. I dont feel bad about them getting a taste of this shit from Canada of all places.

    West coast sports times are the best. Hell yeah I want games to end by 830 or 9. Whenever I travel to the east coast I always end up missing like half the night game because that shit runs until like midnight.

    I hope he’s good enough to go and that he doesn’t hurt himself all over again.

    I also hope that it doesn’t make a difference and Toronto wins tonight anyway.

    I have a feeling he is not healthy but couldn't handle all of the talk about him not being injured so he's going to play.

    I expect them to attack Durant in the pick and roll just like they did Boogie.

    Cliff Levingston was on at least one of the Bulls teams that went to the Finals, and Dave Stallworth was on the Knicks team that won the title in 1970.
