Draymond is a dick but I love seeing him piss of other players. He easily got into Lebrons head lmao

Not a good look for Lebron. Dude talking shit to Green and Curry when theyre about to take a big fat L is just lame.

 

[TTG]

A stat padded 38 and 6? I'll take it.

 

[i3allistic]

Great fucking win.

Also, seeing Lebron rattled like this is weird. First Green got him amped up super easily and then he walks halfway across the court at Curry. Not a good look. I would say something about basketball mortality, but I don't wanna jinx anything.

Also shoutout to Draymond for doing Lebron's "blow in the fist" thing as he stared him down lmao. Dude is a legendary trash talker man.

Lebron aint gonna act like that when the series goes back to Oakland ....dude a clown ...

 

[mjp2417]

Totally agree. Two great games in a row. Someone else really needs to step up.

This Cavs team as currently constituted can't beat the Warriors when Klay and Steph show up like this. The Warriors are simply a better team and LeBron, while still arguably the best player in the league, doesn't look like he has any more Boston Game 6's in him (he'd need at least 2 of those for the Cavs to come back)

 

[BadAss2961]

Yup. Knew the Warriors would be alright as long as they didn't let Cleveland jump out to a lead. LeBron's a totally different player up 15+.

 

[pxleyes]

LeBron is a shadow of his former self

 

[...Scatter...]

Don't want to be that guy, but this series is looking over.

You don't want to be obvious guy?

 

[SlickVic]

Both these teams played awful. One team just made three pointers the other didn't. This is the ugliest basketball I have ever seen.

Eh Golden State had some consistently great post D in that 4th denying Irving and Lebron to get the lead.

 

[Servbot24]

Draymond in line for that Finals MVP if this holds on Monday.

#23 is gonna get it done.

Amazing.

I dunno, everyone has had a terrible game and a good game, Finals MVP seems pretty wide open

 

[Miracle]

Not sure who would want to take on that contract TBH.

Not only that but what team would want to help out the Cavs get what they want and need?

 

[CoffeeJanitor]

Way to score layups for the last minute dumbasses

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I dunno, everyone has had a terrible game and a good game, Finals MVP seems pretty wide open

 

[rokkerkory]

Stat padded??? Wtf then dont foul him lol

He already scored 30 before garbage time

 

[yukinon]

 

[CrocMother]

Anderson Varejao

 

[Cooter]

A stat padded 38 and 6? I'll take it.

A legit 32 though with two daggers. MVP is back

 

[Servbot24]

GSW is legit going to miss him next year

 

[friskykillface]

That is way, way too much and there's no chance they make that trade. Seriously - Avery Bradley would be way more valuable for this Cavs than Love at this point. If only because the Warriors are the team you have to get past.

You doubt dumbass Ainge, he'll say something like "Bradley got injured and we figured out how to play without him"
Love is like Jeff Green, if Ainge wants Love that much he'll trade a shit load to get him


Ainge should max Barnes >

 

[Nafai1123]

Crazy game. Lebron is shook. Splash bros are back.

 

[...Scatter...]

What I love about the Dubs is that teams keep trying to fuck with them assuming they're soft. They don't get rattled. They don't make stupid mistakes. They don't stop making the right plays. And they kill you with speed, effort and shooting.

 

[GamerSoul]

Stuff like this makes me really appreciate the years Lebron was down here. Shit is not easy.

 

[Diprosalic]

I don't understand all the hate that Cleveland gets. They've obviously never hurt anyone. Doesn't make sense.

Dellavedova disagrees.

 

[blame space]

is it something I did

what did I do

 

[RellyRell28]

Well looks like I'll be watching the Sony E3 press conference Monday. Fuck all this noise.

 

[GalacticToast]

Anderson Varejao

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I think plenty of teams would take a shot at Love, probably feeling that he was incorrectly utilized in Cleveland and thinking they could get the Minny Love back. The problem for the Cavs is that normally when you trade a "star" you get assets in return. Draft picks. Young players. The Cavaliers can't afford to take on those kinds of assets. They need to win now. Short of Melo for Love (maybe?) I don't see a trade that makes sense for both sides.

 

[PR_rambo]

Perhaps Lebrons final game in "The Land" (yeesh, Cleveland folks, come up with something better)


Bron Bron should go be a Knick

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

How can he be a king if he can't deliver the ring?

 

[Darkman M]

Draymond in line for that Finals MVP if this holds on Monday.

#23 is gonna get it done.

Amazing.

I think Curry gets it with one more game similar to tonight.

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

So Green backhanded Lebron between the legs, which is what resulted in that "altercation."

 

[jmizzal]

LMAO

omg lol

 

[Nothing1016]

Eh Golden State had some consistently great post D in that 4th denying Irving and Lebron to get the lead.

It was all right. I'm just a salty Spurs fan sitting here judging the awful play by both teams. OKC has ruined everything this post season. lol

 

[btown]

I don't understand all the hate that Cleveland gets. They've obviously never hurt anyone. Doesn't make sense.

One of the laws of the universe is that Cleveland must suffer

 

[spyder_ur]

Lebron with 7 turnovers. Something like 8/18 19 points before his stat padding? Yeesh. He can rebound and pass some, but a very Westbrook esque performance

"Some"

Are they going to replace Kyrie Irving, Channing Frye and Kevin Love with guys who can play defense between now and Monday?

Frye's not that bad of a defender. The problem is you can't hide guys against this Warriors team, but they're unique in that regard. It's why they won 73 games.

Anderson Varejao

Played well tonight. He must be having a blast. Plus I enjoy him for crippling the Cavs cap during the early LeBron years.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Yup. Knew the Warriors would be alright as long as they didn't let Cleveland jump out to a lead. LeBron's a totally different player up 15+.

Yeah, he was showing his ass on Wednesday night, wasn't he? 3 balls for everyone!

Tonight? LOL

 

[Zantetsuken]

Crazy game. Lebron is shook. Splash bros are back.

[Bam Bam Baklava]

That's a pretty garbage angle to be making that kind of claim.

 

[undrtakr900]

Does this foul strategy late in the 4th ever work? Seems like a waste of time

[Diprosalic]

Short of Melo for Love (maybe?) I don't see a trade that makes sense for both sides.

Melo has his no trade and he's not leaving NYC for Cleveland.

If Ainge wanted to he could definitely put together a package that would work.

 

[TTG]

Yea, I thought he was productive early when people were shitting all over him. He was responsible for 15-20 points by scoring/assist/passing out of double in the first quarter.

 

[george_us]

Cavs will win game 5.

Nah Cavs going to lose 50. Dubs probably lost Game 3 on purpose because they didn't want to celebrate in Cleveland lol.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

LeBron's innocent!!!!!!!!!!!

Stannis James, friend.

 

[Diprosalic]

GS is a damn great FT shooting team so no, it won't work against them but it would've almost worked against a bad FT shooting team since they scored pretty quickly in between fouling.

But the thing is, Melo would have to agree because of his no trade clause.

And Melo doesn't want to leave NY. Especially for Cleveland of all damn places lol.

 

[Fjordson]

This is fucking hilarious. Draymond a legend in the making https://twitter.com/bballbreakdown/status/741473686830604288

 

[GravityInsanity]

I just realized something, where the hell was Jr. Smith the 4thQ?
