The door to the 2017 NBA Finals has still yet to be closed as the Cleveland Cavaliers stole a series-clinching win at home against the Golden State Warriors. However, they will have Green for this Game 5, not to mention Durant and a healthy Curry.
There are only three Golden State players in the top 11 of this list. "They're some special players, and they make some unbelievable plays".
Green has played just 133 minutes through four games.
"Absolutely. We have a whole different set of weapons that we can go to". The Warriors returned home to the Bay Area with a 3-1 series lead after the Cavaliers registered a record-breaking 137-116 triumph in Friday's Game 4. The Warriors lead 3-1 in the best-of-7 series.
Then in Game 4 he had 14 points on 4-of-13 shooting, and he was 0-of-5 on uncontested shots.
"I feel like this is the game we got to get", James said, "or it's over with". "So we have to do that (tonight) as well".
"You don't want to keep letting the series prolong, so you have to come out with a killer instinct and a punch-face mentality", Warriors forward Draymond Green said.
"He hit that one from near mid-court and it looked like a mid-range jump shot..."
"Especially when you have that history with the opposing team", he said, referring to Cleveland. "Steph was doing a good job of taking on that double team and trying to find a pass and we just tried to make plays after that". I don't care. I mean, I think it's great.
Jeremy Corbyn could have been Prime Minister if it wasn't for Scotland
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn , riding a wave of acclaim for his party's unexpectedly strong showing, called on May to resign. She said Brexit talks would begin on June 19 as scheduled, the same day as the formal reopening of parliament.
It was probably going to take an epic performance to end the Warriors' flawless playoffs run, and the Cleveland Cavaliers produced exactly that in their 137-116 Game 4 win to stave off a Finals sweep.
For the Cavs to take Game 5 in what will inevitably be a rowdy environment, a lot of the same from Game 4 has to happen again. Simply put, that won't continue, and the Dubs will win the series 4-1.
Four-time NBA MVP LeBron James said keeping Curry from a breakout game is imperative for the Cavs to have any chance at making the first comeback from a 3-0 deficit in NBA playoff history. "We know what our keys to victory is". In 2015, Stephen Curry & Co. celebrated the championship in Game 6 in Cleveland.
Game 4 featured 18 fouls in the first period, a questionable flagrant foul on Cleveland's Kevin Love and technical fouls on Warriors coach Steve Kerr, Green, Durant and Zaza Pachulia and Cleveland's James, Iman Shumpert and Dahntay Jones, who wasn't even playing at the time.
Instead, it turned out to be the beginning of an epic collapse, one that still hangs over his team - and this series - a full year later.
"I stick with my guys", Lue said.
Other factors also need to be addressed, including the slow starts by the Cavs to the second half in each of the first two games. And after struggling mightily from beyond the arc in the first three games, the Cavs finally exploded in a big way by hitting a playoff-record 24 three-pointers on a sizzling 53 percent shooting.
In Game 4, Durant and LeBron James had a verbal confrontation, and while neither revealed what was said, James is not a fan of trash talk, saying he's there to play ball.
Never at a loss for words, Green expects his team to match or surpass the Cavs in that department in Game 5.
