Gahm that's the way the cookie crumbles. Spurs bury their 3s and two GS ones just rattle out.

GG, nice year Dubs. Hopefully you can stay healthy next year.

Gratz warriors on a great year. I expect big things from this team in the coming years.

How cruel is it that the only series still going on is by far the worst one?

It was a fun run Warriors. Next year Brandon Rush will be back healthy and hopefully David Lee with be 100%. If we can resign Jack then we could possibly contend for the pacific division

Dear god, this year could turn into Stern's worst nightmare.

INDY vs MEMPHIS Final. In fact, he's already probably having cold sweats at the inevitably grim ratings for the Spurs vs the Grizz. That will be a true purist series. I think there'll be more interest in Kobe's tweets than that the WCF.

Maybe the Knicks will get 50 FTs a game for 6&7?

I agree with Magic analysis of the Warriors.

- Keep Curry
- Lee gets healthy
- Drop somebody (like Clay Thompson) for a big man

I'm not sure how the contracts all look, but if they got a good big man, then that "big 3" could contend for a championship.

Also, i'm SO EXCITED to see the WCF. 4 of the best bigs in the game battling every game in the paint. Going to be awesomeeee.

That was a very exciting 4-2 series.

The Dubs are looking pretty good for next year. Not really sure they need to do much re-tooling.

Try and re-sign Jack (but only for the right price). I think they'll have to let Landry exercise his option and walk if they want to keep Jack, which will be a shame but Rush will be back for them next year which will help.

Oh and maybe trade David Lee for K Love. It could happen... right?!

Hmmm, they should be open to offers for Lee if they would be looking to move anyone. People forget Thompson is only in his second year and he's developing really nicely for them (especially as a complementary to Curry).

Hopefully with a full off-season Bogut can regain a lot of the health he never had this year (easier said than done for the big guy).

Barnes is only going to get better, as hopefully will Klay and Steph.

Something like a Lee + Klay trade for say K Love + filler would be pretty intriguing though for the Dubs. Klay shouldn't be untouchable but they'd really have to get an enticing package to trade him.

K-Love would be an awesome addition to the Warriors.

Klove + Curry + Thompson or Lee would be a very very powerful combo.

I dunno. I rather have them keep Lee than acquiring Love since Love gets hurt more often than Lee.

With regard to OKC, I'm reminded of something Stein said about the Lakers, that their injuries were what kept them from being the biggest failure in NBA history. At least OKC gets another year to really decide how this team is going to work.

Better than having to worry about that hand of his.

I could make some funny jokes about how Lee and Love got their injuries.

no. They'll get Brandon Rush back and drop Rich Jefferson. They'll have a 5 man rotation for wings (Curry, Lee, Jack, Barnes, Rush) and 4 bigs (Bogut, Lee, Ezuli, Landry). They need to drop the other contracts if anything.
