    Would it matter?
    Monster games by Harden would still have been a near 4 ~ 5 game series.

    Second time in Finals history.. opposing players with tri-dubs same game.

    Kareem - Frazier ----- LeBron - Curry

    Sounds like teammates have done it before

    Harden actually plays well against the Warriors in the playoffs, wouldn't have mattered at all though.

    They have 2 MVP players, Durant man...he's been the luckiest dude in the NBA, think of all the MVP caliber players and talent he's played for in his career.

    So much for an epic Finals matchup. Warriors unleashing blowouts. Hope the NBA enjoys the ratings while they last.

    Basically Harrison Barnes missed so many wild open shots in the Finals last year, now those shots belong to KD.

    League need to solve the Golden state problem.

    Of course, Cavs can still magically come all the way back and I am sure refs in game 3 will give all the calls to Cavs to make it a series.

    Not shocked at all. Didn't feel this series would go past 5 in Warriors favor easily. Only health can slow them down. As long as they're healthy it's kind of an anticlimactic NBA because I can't imagine anyone beating them in a series at full strength. Yawn....

    The ratings will likely hit a wall after game 3, and may never recover.

    This is so lame. If I was a Warriors fan (bandwagoners excluded) I would probably be enjoying this, but not all that much, not the way I enjoyed the Rocket's runs. It all feels so cheap and unrewarding from any angle that I try and look through--fan of the game, team, the players, coaches.

    adam silver gotta pissed watching this lmao.

    the only thing that was supposed to save this season was an "epic" cavs vs. warriors finals and now it's looking like a sweep,

    next year will probably be the least anticipated nba season ever.

    ratings are going to tank.

    the only thing to look forward to is how bad will lonzo ball will be.

    Honestly . . . I am beginning to question his Foot injury.
    So many teams were hesitant on him because of it . .. . and his injury seems to heal better than anyone else's :D
