And Rds in French. It is enjoyable to hear three different television feeds and the ESPN radio feed!

Almost fatal decision for Nick Nurse early in the 4th. I mean I get the reasoning, but agree with the ABC crew - You're playing the Golden State Warriors, if you have a lead in any game in the finals you have to go for all out for it.

You're probably already not going to win the series but you're really not going to win if you start thinking about managing for future games.

In this case it was just the idiot ref falling for the hard slap. Frustrating because they'd prefer to call a foul than missing a foul if they didn't see it right.

Geez, I didn't watch the finals last year, is it always this much advertising? This feels like way, way more than the previous round. More breaks and longer.

Also holy crap, terrible decision by Lowry to shoot that three off the rush. If not for Siakam in God Mode this is a very different game.

[GirlySports]

Those arms.

[GreenLantern2814]

Siakam sure isn't afraid to take the shot tonight.

100%. I've never seen it this bad any other year or game. Ridiculous.

11 straight shots by Siakam

Lowry is such a mental midget at times. are you kidding?

Why so pessimistic? They’re still looking pretty darn good. Given the Raps are in the finals, Nick Nurse appears to know what he’s doing.

[SuperMatt18]

Siakam has them so shook that when he drove on transition there they all just left Green open

[Mightyfire89]

BIG 3 from Green!

[GirlySports]

Interesting tidbit. The RDS analyst Will Archambault played with Steph Curry at Davidson.

[jayswin]

Amazing!

[jayswin]

Play a couple more mins and then you start to close out.

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Huge moment there. Curry misses and Green hits... 12 point lead instead of 6. Massive.

Serge doesn't have it tonight, has to stop with the mid range.

[bluejays]

Every single guy is playing well. Only problem is some fouls. Hope some guys with foul trouble can stay on the bench for a few minutes more and then come in the last 5 minutes. All you can hope is the bench holds it down for the next few minutes because GS will be raining 3s.

Not pessimism, I'm loving our chances right now, we're winning big without Kawhi being a huge factor. That is insane.

It was just about that specific start to the 4th, the ABC crew was all over it, so it wasn't just me.

[jayswin]

On no Kawhi.

Beautiful
