As Steph Struggles, KD Reminds Cavs Why Dubs Are as Unfair as League’s Ever Seen

The Golden State Warriors are one win away from another NBA title because of their No. 2 option…if it’s even fair to use that label for Kevin Durant, who put up 43 points, 13 rebounds and seven assists to bury the cheap nfl apparelĀ  Cleveland Cavaliers on a night when Stephen Curry all but disappeared.

Down 3-0 after a 110-102 defeat, imagine you’re the Cavs for a moment, if you can stand the inequity of it all.

You lost Game 2 because Curry went supernova, channeling his unanimous MVP form and burying you with flings, heaves and all manner of shot-making wizardry.

Andre Iguodala is the platonic ideal of a glue guy.nfl apparel for kidsĀ  Veterans like David West, Shaun Livingston and JaVale McGee come aboard at discounts and stay because they like winning rings.
