The Oracle die-hards have long since been priced out. Anyone who goes to the games now is basically just chasing trends and looking to be seen rather actually going to see a game.

The more Kerr opens his mouth, the more I grow to mistrust the Dubs staff/trainers.

Junichi Masuda stated that the change was made due to the difficulty of modeling 809+x Pokémon in HD without delaying the game.

As someone who doesn't play mainline Pokemon games this sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to do and something that was inevitably going to happen down the line. So I'm just a bit befuddled over people losing their minds on Twitter about this.

As to Kerr brushing it off to Myers, Myers was in the back and knew more about the situation since ya know Kerr was coaching the game when Durant went back into the locker room.  Just let things lie until we know more about the situation aside from what we know about the Achilles after one day.

Kerr was asked if he had any regrets about putting Durant back in the series and he shut down the reporter by saying "I'm going to leave that to Bob". Even if his intent wasn't to start **** he did it anyway by handing off the question in such a manner.

This game looks nice but some of these battles scenes look rough. The framerate looks like it's chugging at times in the Direct footage.

There's a weird narrative as well. Kerr washed his hands immediately last night and deferred to Bob Myers. So it makes sense that there was a lot of uncertainty going into the game. Add to that the Kawakami report over the weekend talking about "player discontent" and it's a very messy situation.

The thing I want to know is did Durant understand the potential for re-injury was high? Because if he did then it's hard to really assign blame within the organization. But if trainers or staff withheld information from him then the **** has really hit the fan.

Also, I wasn't watching the game live because I was watching Squeenix's E3 event but holy **** Toronto fans non-stop cheering of KD's injury is downright despicable.

I hate it, thanks. Drake having anything to do with this championship run sours it all.

I've already made peace with these Finals. 3 championships and a 5 year dynasty is incredible after rooting for a team that was hot garbage through most of my adult life. I am eager to see what becomes of the Warriors post-Durant.

Klay - Banged up
Boogie - still recovering
Iggy - perpetually hurt
KD - out
Looney - out
Curry - hopefully staying hydrated.

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TORONTO DON'T SCREW IT UP.

I'm serious if Klay can't go that means Alfonzo McKinnie is going to be an NBA Finals starter.

Toronto should have won this game and if they lose the series this will go right up there as their biggest regret. Warriors are losing bodies faster than they can get them back. Boogie played well considering his recovery but he can still be a liability, while still being a net positive over Looney. But you still need Looney because **** Bogut. Klay is now banged up, Iggy is still banged up. Curry's confidence took a hit.

Disclaimer: I was watching the game out of the corner of my eye while I was in a concert and the bar had the TV tuned in. Those last 5 minutes were hellish.

That was a disgusting display of defense by Toronto. Iggy went to the corner and no one followed him for the duration of that possession. Even as he was catching the ball and the opportunity to put a bad free throw shooter at the line presented itself, Toronto still didn't care to even look at him. Embarrassing.

EDIT: Looking at replays, WTF is Siakam doing? Toronto had a timeout why was he so desperate to run up the court?

The main menu has a big white line running vertically on the left side that expands or shrinks randomly every time you end up there. Audio seems extremely cluttered  and buggy at times during fights as well.

I feel like this game will never be bug free and there's always going to be a problem with it but for the most part the shooty shooty experience is still good.

I'm still a Furia main but I bought Ying and want to play her more.
