The Warriors march on to the NBA Finals for the fifth consecutive season.

CLOSE What I'm Hearing: USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt discusses the recent comments from Magic Johnson who painted a dysfunctional picture of the Lakers' front office. USA TODAY

It was tense and tight and required Golden State to resist a pair of potential game-winners from Damian Lillard, one in regulation and another as time expired in the extra period. But at the end of it all the outcome was exactly as expected. However, the will to win runs deep within this group, even though it didn’t always feel like that during parts of the regular season, when Steve Kerr’s men lacked cohesion and motivation in equal measure.

Well...so they have like an EA Sports... XBOX... PlayStation all-star roster so...

Represent !!!

Who cares?

I think Bucks will appreciate a win to go to the WhiteHouse

Portland Blazers are terrible. They got swept by GSW without Durant and in Game 4 without Iguodala. Two starters missing. If GSW meets Raps with Durant still not playing I am sure it won’t be easy for GSW assuming if Raps overcomes Milwaukee

And should say...this has never been done since the 50s-60s Celtics. All you haters!

Dynasty?

Jordan’s Bulls would beat these guys in 5. No contest.

Draymond Green Able To List From Memory Every Player Drafted Before Him In NBA HistoryCLEVELAND—Claiming that it has been a constant source of motivation throughout his career, Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green revealed to reporters Thursday that he is able to recite, completely from memory, the names of every single player drafted ahead of him in NBA history. “First was Clifton McNeely to the Pittsburgh Ironmen in 1947, then the [Toronto] Huskies took Glen Selbo, and third was Boston, who took Bulbs Ehlers,” said Green, taking the next several hours to list all 2,786 players who were selected, in order, during the six decades before he was chosen by the Warriors with the 35th overall pick of the 2012 NBA Draft. “I haven’t forgotten that Dion Waiters, Tayshaun Prince, Stephon Marbury, Dan Majerle, Keith Van Horn, Rafer Alston, Grant Hill, Dominique Wilkins, John Havlicek, [1973 fifth-round pick] Dennis Bell, and Yao Ming were chosen before me, and I never will. It’s something I think about all the time, because I want to prove that I’m just as good as any of those guys.” Green went on to say that he does feel vindicated by the fact that he has an NBA championship ring, unlike Bill McGill, who was selected prior to him by the Chicago Zephyrs with the first overall pick in 1962. this is suppose to be satire Ya this is 100% true The goat

So ... still think the NBA draft lottery is rigged?With the rights to Zion Williamson at stake, having the Pelicans and Grizzlies defy the odds to get the first and second overall picks doesn't seem like the ideal outcome for league executives, but that didn't stop some determined conspiracy theorists. Yeah, kinda 100% It should be.
