Honestly either way how this goes, as long as its competitive I'll be happy with the outcome. A lot of dudes who deserve rings might get there first, and there's some legacy building here as well. There's gonna be some awesome basketball and performances in this series. Obviously I wish that Kyrie and Love had better health, but it is what it is. For all the shit talk that Lebron is getting, the dude is averaging almost a triple double with 27 points, 10 boards, and 8 dimes. Numbers aren't everything when you have the grit that the Cavs and Lebron have, plus Lebron's talent goes way beyond the numbers.

At this point, myself, defmaybe00 and Mike Golic of 'Mike and Mike in the Morning' are the only people in the entire world picking the Cavs to win the Finals... Admittedly, I'm not that familiar with the Warriors. I guess they're statistically one of the best teams ever - I just don't see them beating many great teams from the past, mainly due to their youth. Also, in the game Lébron played in this season against Warriors, the Cavs dominated the Warriors. God bless. |

. Numbers aren't everything when you have the grit that the Cavs and Lebron have, plus Lebron's talent goes way beyond the numbers. Of course numbers aren't everything. He's still the best basketball player in the world. One of the reasons they have been successful even though he isn't shooting well is because of the offensive rebounds they get. If the Warriors limit the cavs second chance points then the Cavs don't have a chance if he continues to shoot the way he his |

In all seriousness, I watch a lot of ESPN programming and most analysts and talk shows are picking the Warriors, mainly based on Kyrie's health and they say the Warriors have a better/deeper bench. All that doesn't phase me, I'd be in the Warriors heads the whole game, talking shit, but, I'm a fucking gamer, I refuse to lose. God bless. |

You wanna know the craziest thing about these playoffs?
The Cavs are playing almost as well when Lebron is on the bench, like better than Miami when lebron sat with regards to point differential, or something like that. Don't know if the Cav's bench can keep up their stellar play, but if they do things could get interesting. Heard about this on a Zach Lowe podcast.
If Lebron carries the Cavs to a win over this Warriors team it'll be his greatest accomplishment and obviously different era's and different team structures but I don't think MJ could have won a chip with this group or even taken them to finals. You can say shit about the East, but that's just how I see it.

That was fun. Lebron playing Kobe ball was great for four quarters but he can't buy a three in the playoffs. That was a bad shot at the end of regulation. Thought Kyrie was really good. Especially on defense. Would be a shame if he can't play the rest of the series.

If Kyrie can't play, then its a wrap and we've all been cheated out of a great finals. Dude was balling last night, he is a solid defender when he wants to be. Lebron was incredible but he and his teammates need to take it upon themselves for getting involved more. I think JR should have got a few more touches and Mozgov can probably beast up on Bogut for at least 3-4 possessions. Tough last shot for lebron, I would have taken it to the rack but dude was hitting a good amount of his jumpers and that's his spot. Maybe if he was trying to shot a j, maybe back down Andre, but I guess he could have been trapped or something.
Splash bro's were solid not amazing. Iggy was superb, best player for GS with his incredible defense. Seriously dude is an amazing defender, there's an reason why he was on the 2012 Olympic squad. Dude's giving up like 50 pounds and 2 inches, to the best player on earth but his angles are defense are genius. Also was 6-8 from the field and hit two threes. If GS wins this chip, I think I'll be the happiest for him and Shaun Livingston.

Well, that sucks...
Now I have the Cavs in 7, instead of 6. Just kidding....
The Cavs might win a game in Cleveland, maybe 2, I don't know.
On a brighter note, I can't see the Cavs not being in the Finals next year unless even more unforseen injuries happen, like the whole team gets hurt or unless there's significant trades or signings made in the East.
God bless.

The Cavs need to make their navy blue alternate uniforms their away uniforms at least, and get rid of their yellow uniforms and probably redesign their logo. God bless. |

Could be start of cementing his legacy as the GOAT, seriously if they some how beat GS I think it might put him over the top for me.
It ain't pretty, it isn't efficient, but fuck it tight gritty D and lebron going insane on offense is charming to me. This cast of misfits, 1 dimensional players, a dr jekyll/mr hyde, and Lebron beating the adaptable machine that is GS is stunning.

Missed 18 of his last 21 shots. He's great but he's not the greatest. Dude, he's their ONLY offensive player and he has 2 All NBA defenders on him with AI and Green and two above average defenders on him too at times, with Barnes and Klay. Shit happens, how about people credit GS for playing him smart? Plus on at least one of those drive he was hacked all the way to the rim, refs aren't gonna call that at the end of the game but it was a foul. The shots % is obviously a mixture of being gassed, being well defended, and just plain not hitting shots, but dude hit 3 threes, one at a pretty crucial point in the game. I'm kinda tired of people shitty on Lebron %'s, this moneyball shit can be taken too far. Half of the cavs offense is run iso for lebron and pray that TT can get his boards which he did. People are like the "the Cavs shot 32%, they don't play efficient modern basketball," well no shit they don't have the personal to do it and that's the beauty of it. All I'm saying is that he had 39 points, 16 boards, and 11 dimes and he's draggin this mediocre Cavs team which is probably the worst since his 07 cavs to wins. MJ couldn't do this. |
