    That look on Lebron's face

    When Timmy gets called for a foul he has this step-back, hands out in front of him, palms facing him, chest high with fingers pointing up, a look of exasperation, bug eyes, as if to say "What, .... what did I do?"

    When LBJ gets called for a foul, his face looks like he just **** his pants.

    9 finals games for Curry, and he's averaging 22 points and 5 turnovers. Small sample size so far, yes. However, between last year (when Cleveland was so injured that what they had left was "Snow LeBron and the Eleven Dwarves") and this year he hasn't put up a single outstanding / classic performance yet and has been the 3rd or 4th most valuable guy on his team. And he clearly deserved the MVP this year, had plenty of outstanding games in earlier rounds, and I don't think he's a choker or "not ready for the finals" or other such cliches. I don't know what to make of it.

    Maybe Curry isn't 100%.
    He's a hard guy to define, as far as comparing to other players.
    Generally, though, he's the best player on the best team, which happens to be one of the best teams ever.
    He's kind of a "system" player, like spread offense football stats, but unlike football, in basketball the problem is to try to get the prodigies actually to play in a system in the first place.

    No one shoots as well as Curry does, though.

    Judging from how much time he is spending on the bench he is still hurt.

    Yep, his jump shot isn't falling like it has all season. Something is bothering him because he's missing wide open jumpers thus it's not the quality of the defense that is the difference.

    Amazing how effective Tristan Thompson is able to be despite not having a single post move in his repertoire.

    What a game that was. Most underrated key moment in my opinion: Kevin Love's defense on Curry right after Irving hit that big 3 in the final minute. He's not noted as a good defender anyway, never mind the vast agility difference between them.

    Never been a LeBron fan but I wouldn't be able to stand hearing GS being the best team ever. I think that the Pistons or Bulls of the 90's wouldn't allow so many open threes. GS is a great team with amazing accuracy and the quickest releases for threes I've ever seen.

    Until they aren't so accurate.

    Haha that reminds me of the photoshop of Reggie Bush lateralling away the Heisman trophy with Vince catching it...
