The NBA is a business. I really don't think the Warriors will tank it; however, I don't think the ownership will mind at all it actually goes 5 or 6 games.

The NBA and its partners lose money if Golden State sweeps Cleveland

How much would a sweep cost the Warriors? Try $22M

I'm too old to be a Pollyanna, and I know sports are big business, but I also notice fans don't break out the tinfoil hats when they're happy with the results. When I see fans put forth the notion that their favorite team winning was possibly the result of large scale collusion, I'll take these sorts of arguments more seriously.

If the Cavs had shot like this in game 3 we'd be looking at going back to CA even. I don't know that the Cavs can keep this up for the whole game, but they really need something to happen to the Warriors to give him hope going forward. i.e. injury to KD or Curry or Green doing something worth a 3 game suspension.
