Q4.7.20. Haha, KD gets the block on one end, he takes the ball downcourt, he doesn’t pass to two open guys because he earned himself a heat check, and he muscles the ball in over 2 or 3 defenders.
I just can’t get over how subtle Klay’s would-be All-NBA defense is. LeBron uses his trademark barreling drive and any other guy, would’ve pummeled the defender. Klay? Barely affected, absorbs the blow. James scored anyways, but that’s about as fundamental defense as you can play.
❤️ that defense by Klay. Defended a LeBron steal and layup perfectly. James went to go complain to the ref and Klay gave his signature disgusted wave lol.
Not rewatching this but I rewatched the fourth quarter of Game 5 of the 2019 Rockets series and my takeaway was the same as my Game 6 takeaway. Looney is really good and the guy we saw this season was not the real him, I hope he can get healthy.
Second time in history that there were two triple-doubles in the same Finals game.
Q4.6.05. Steph accepted defending LBJ on a switch and fronted him so well that CLE couldn’t enter the ball to him.
CLE later gets a 3 in transition and cuts the lead to 17 with 5:40 left. Kerr calls an angry timeout, haha. Not taking any chances this year.

Q4.8.50. That was an F’ing insane move by Kyrie for the 3. He’s actually having a bad shooting game, but that was amazing.
I forgot Deron Williams was on CLE.
Steph made so many shots in Love’s face. Think he remembered all the chatter about how Love shut him down in 16?
I’m still like, “Don’t get hurt, Klay!” whenever he drives and there’s contact, knowing full well what ended up happening in Game 6, June 2019 🤷🏻♂️
Also forgot @StephenCurry30 was just 2 turnovers from a quadruple-double 😁

Behind-the-scenes playlist from that day added! It’s pretty fun because that was back before all the media restrictions by the Oracle locker room: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLszalip37vKJPAVjoQsnCFR_ZHulKkAFa
